What's For Dinner? - 2021

[lizzie]

Tonight's dinner was easy...hot roast pork sandwiches...he wanted on toast,and that was ok with me.

 

[maggiedemi]

Breakfast: Aldi knockoff of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, half a diced McIntosh apple, 1/3 cup whole cow milk. Yuck! Way too sugary!

Lunch: Practiced my veggie stir-fry. The sauce tasted burnt. Maybe I put it in too soon. Olive oil, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, stir-fry sauce, el yucateco red habanero hot sauce, spicy fire salt, black pepper, cilantro, romaine lettuce, butter beans. Aldi horseradish kettle chips on the side.

Dinner: Roasted potato, carrot, onion, garlic mix in olive oil, with spicy fire salt, black pepper, ketchup, el yucateco red habanero hot sauce, Aldi horseradish kettle chips, one hard boiled egg. I tried to heat the hard boiled egg up in the microwave and it exploded!

Dinner was briefly delayed as I had to shoo a wren out of the greenhouse / into garage / outside. It was close to dusk / dark and any delay would have meant leaving the bird in there overnight.

Pulled pork sandwiches on toasted roll with sliced red onion as garnish, home fried potatoes, mixed green salad.

I really want not to cook but the pizza place is closed on Mondays.

The herb grilled chicken was so good It was a small-ish chicken leg quarter with a huge mound of mashed root veggies. It's definitely something I'll order again.

I'm roasting myself butternut squash with maple syrup and cinnamon.

huge mound of mashed root veggies

Yum! I've never had mashed root veggies. Sounds delicious.

Onion, celery and carrots are the basis for a lot of cuisines and are sauteed first. Creole cooking changes it up a bit, the Holy Trinity for Creole and Cajun cooking is onion, celery and bell pepper, again it is done at the beginning.

Yep, and occasionally you'll hear a Cajun say, "Yah, an' da pope," meaning add garlic. Almost ever cuisine has some version of the "Holy Trinity." Somewhere, I have a list of the variations. If I can find it. I'll post it.

Tonight. Ugh. I dunno. Was planning on cooking something, real cooking, but Suzanne roped me into installing her curtain tie-back holders. Dunno why. She JUST ordered the new rods. Not as if there was a rush, but they HAD to be done today, in her world. I may just make Swiss cheese toasted bagels. Not overly nutritious, but that's why I take a good multi-vite for women over 50 EVERY MORNING without fail.

Wednesday, however, I shall make a shepherd's pie. I'm looking forward to that.

We had the last two pieces of the pasta casserole, fortunately we got a lot of leftovers from it. Spinach salad for me and Butter Lettuce for DH. Honeycrisp apples for dessert.

Last night I had the 2nd serving of my black beans and I rice made Sunday night. As usual, not sure about tonight. I have some bagged salad to use up, so maybe something with that. Though I may just have the salad for lunch.

Oh, that hash was really good. I put a soft egg on top of our servings. Break the egg and the yolk ran down into the hash. Yum. Tastes better than it looks! With the last of the coleslaw and some applesauce.

Not sure about tonight, but am thinking of soup and toasted cheese sandwiches.

That sounds delicious. I love Swiss cheese. I've been taking multivitamins almost all of my life. Just in case because I know I don't eat right. My brother ordered some plant based vitamins for women from Amazon for me. They were very expensive but I'm sure they are much better than the ones I get here.

Last night I had two baked sweet potatos, a dinner roll, cabbage and a piece of apple pie. I didn't eat the extra potato or the dinner roll. They could of given me another vegetable instead.

We're supposed to get thunderstorms later this afternoon so I decided to make veggie chili since it's one of my comfort foods. I'll slice avocado on top and have one of the cold brew latte bars for dessert.

Between the 4 of us were having leftovers of ribs, Mac n cheese, chicken fingers, sweet potatoes and green beans.

That looks so yummy. I would be putting ketchup on top.

I use Deva multivitamin, it's only a little over 10 greenbacks.

Breakfast: 3/4 cup Aldi knockoff of Golden Grahams cereal, half a diced McIntosh apple, 1/3 cup whole cow milk. It was okay, not quite as sickly sweet as the Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Lunch: Practiced my veggie stir-fry, it was a bit better- onions, bell peppers, celery, garlic, greens, one hard boiled egg, stir-fry sauce, spicy fire salt, black pepper, cilantro, el yucateco red habanero sauce, Great Value burnin' hot chips, Australian Croc extra sharp cheese.

Dinner: Leftover roasted potato, carrot, onion, garlic mix, one hard boiled egg, spicy fire salt, black pepper, el yucateco black habanero sauce, ketchup, 2 Turkish figs. It tasted mushy in the microwave. Next time I will warm it up in the toaster oven.

Made cuban sandwiches (and I made the rolls for them)and macaroni salad.

My brother got "mykind" organic mutivitams. For 60 gel caps (vegan) it cost $40.00. My brother is a health nut and he does a lot of research before he buys anything. Unlike me, him and his wife eat only healthy food, no junk food.

Tonight I had a small baked potato, broccoli, pickel and an oatmeal cookie. For lunch I had kale, mashed potatoes and peach pie.

Salmon croquettes made with leftover broiled salmon fillet from Sunday, pearled couscous simmered in broth and finished with sauteed diced red onion and mushrooms, microwave steamed asparagus

 

[Mamanyt1953]

I haven't really decided yet...however, I do feel a bit honey-mustard-ish, so chicken nuggets with a side of something green sounds about right. I could change my mind before 2 AM, though. That's when I eat my supper.

LOL, my friend, Suzanne, can't seem to grasp my sleep schedule (although I've been on it for years now), and keeps asking, "WHY do you eat so late?" I tell her, "Suzanne, I go to bed at 7 AM. If I ate any earlier, IT WOULD BE BREAKFAST!"

As usual, no idea about tonight, but hopefully it's better than last night. I had put a serving of my penne and broccoli in the freezer, and at the last minute decided to have it. So it ended up being in the microwave much longer than when I let it mostly thaw first, and it turned into a not very appetizing mush. Guess I should have had that salad.
