Thank you so much!We had a great day and a wonderful dinner!lizzie A very Happy Anniversary!
I'm rolling and stuffing a pork roast for Sunday dinner. Probably mashed potatoes and gravy. And pineapple stuffing, which is simply a casserole; Rick dearly loves pineapple stuffing (he says it almost passes as a dessert in itself). Along with a bit of salad. Simple ice cream for dessert.

Bread usually has protein in it.
That sounds amazing! Two of my favorites together.
That's me. When it hits 50 degrees I'll be happy. Hopefully in a couple weeks.
For lunch I had the same veggie sandwich as yesterday, but I broke up the cashews and it tasted so much better! I think nuts taste a billion times better when they aren't whole.
For dinner I had a French Vanilla Latte from McDonalds and leftover pumpkin french toast.
The latte was really weak. I want to try a Macchiato from Dunkin', supposedly those have a double shot of espresso in them.
For breakfast I am having a slice of toast and grits. For lunch half of a tomato sandwich and for dinner Amy's lentel & vegetable soup.
I got Pad Thai delivered and had them replace the shrimp with an extra fried egg. I was too tired from the stress I'd felt before bringing Puar to the vet today, and the fact that I wasn't feeling so hot myself, that I didn't want to think too hard about dinner.

Yummy! I hope you feel better.
For lunch I had a veggie sandwich with toasted Arnold white bread, mayo, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, cheese, cashews, sunflower seeds, and some leftover roasted potatoes. It was really good with the potatoes!
For dinner I had veggie alfredo-- brown rice wakame noodles, mushrooms, cauliflower, peas, carrots, cannellini beans, alfredo sauce, shredded cheese baked in the oven. Hot sauce on top.
Thanks! It's Tuesday morning here, and I do feel better. Just a case of the monthlies! Your meals sound so good, I wish you could cook for me!
Tonight I have a facial appointment, so I'm probably just going to get something quick. Maybe another overpriced salad to-go. Hopefully this weekend I can restart my fridge and do some meal prep so I don't keep wasting money on salads I could just as easily make at home. I am just thinking that I don't think Puar would leave me alone long enough to peel chickpeas...if the weather is nice, might have to have a chickpea peeling picnic outside XD Does anyone know if they keep well in the freezer? Could cook and prep a big batch to make it easier in the future.
I think they do but you might double-check this .
Fried cod patties, cottage cheese, and peas cooked with butter, water, salt, sugar, and basil

Please? What is a "moonlight" cake...and why do I want one so badly?
Tonight? Not the first clue. Corn dogs with honey mustard, maybe. Something easy. Toe still very sore.

What she said!Did our pork roast last night. For the stuffing, I sauteed chopped onion, a bit of celery, some chopped pecans, and some dried cranberries. Added that to a mix of whole wheat and cornbread stuffing crumbs. My BIL had given us some peach-apricot preserves that he had made and I brushed that on the surface, then spread the stuffing out. Rolled it up, tied it, and did it in the Foodi Grill on Roast. Yum! (We don't eat jelly or preserves on toast that often, but I love to see what I can do with them in my cooking. You never know.)
I have the pork carnitas in the crock pot; when it's done, I'll shred it and throw it into the freezer for later on. I was going to do the sweet and sour pork today and throw that in the freezer as well, but Rick wants it for supper tonight. I said we had just had pork (and pineapple, for that matter) yesterday, but he doesn't care. So sweet and sour pork over brown fried rice for dinner.
I had a bit more of the onion-heavy beef and broccoli stir fry. My next kit will be delivered to my home address instead of work. With the concerns over the virus, vendors and visitors have been banned from the company. Tomorrow I think I'll make some pasta.
Moonlight cake is a type of angel food cake,only you use some of the yolks as well.It's an old fashioned type thing from the depression era...waste not,etc.I'll post the recipe in with the desserts.

I ended up not getting anything last night and just munching on some iHerb snacks I had at home. Tonight, I'm not proud to admit, I'm getting Taco Bell. The beef crunchwrap set (ground beef is one of the only types of meat I eat occasionally...though I know, I know, can taco bell be considered real meat? lol)

Thanks much for the cake recipe! I am going to try it. I’ve made angel food cakes before; Rick’s mom was the Queen of angel food cake. She made them every chance she got and they were always wonderful. She showed me her tips for good AF cake.Thanks again! It sounds like such a good cake.
I'm still deciding. Probably chicken nuggets. The frozen ones, as I didn't thaw anything today. TOMORROW, HOT DOGS WITH CHEESE AND ONIONS! I need my fix.
