Exactly! Even though I'm vegetarian I still purraise non-veggie posts. It doesn't mean I have to eat the same diet as them it simply means I appreciate hearing what they made for dinner. And, yes, it is a nice way to spread a positive vibe to other members.

While I'd really prefer to be having a wild venison and pork chilli tonight, I'm nearing the last rung of using up what's in the fridge and pantry (due to not wanting to shop in this infernal LA heat).

So it is going to be a quinoa salad. Is that worse than last nights tofu?

My wife happens to like hippy-cooking (LOL) and I can manage it.

To make matters worse, I think I'll serve sauteed kale with garlic as a side dish.

Hubby asked if he could have a ham and cheese omelet,so I made that for him and some toast,and cracked open a jar of elderberry/blackberry jam.I had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich and a sliced tomato.

The ground beef isn't thawed enough for taco tortellini so I'll make that tomorrow. Tonight will be French bread pizza.

Tech tip...store ground meat in zip-loc bags. a 1-quart bag is the right size for 1 pound. "Burp" as much air out of the bag as possible, then flatten it out until it makes a thin sheet and fills the inside of the bag. This does two things...it makes all of your ground meat stackable, taking up much less space, and it allows you to thaw it in 30 minutes...15 if you drop it in a sink filled with cold water.

Lunch will be bitty nuggets and smiling potatoes! They are BACK IN STOCK! dinner will be shepherd's pie.

I don't know what a quinoa salad is but it is not worse than having tofu. Sauteed tofu, kale and garlic is my all time favorite meal.

I try to purraise most of the post in this section but as a vegetarian I will not support any post regarding hunting. No one has to like tofu and I don't have to like hunting. I never had a purraise removed from my post because someone does not like tofu but that's OK.

Tonight I had a Caesar salad.

Welcome to the forum, Bill.

I wasn't that hungry for dinner so just had a large sweet potato and small spinach salad. DH bought several desserts at the farmer's market yesterday so we split a cinnamon scone for dessert.

Chicken Tikka Salad; salad with cucumbers, grape tomatoes, walnuts, and seedless red grapes, topped with tikka grilled chicken breast and tzatziki dressing. One of the few salads I will gladly pay for at a restaurant.

Since I spent a hour or so this morning making pizza sauce, we're having pizza tonight. Sausage and mushrooms, I think.

DH has requested chicken kiev so that's what he'll have with 3 mini baked potatoes and carrots. I met a friend for coffee earlier so had a late lunch and not in the mood for much dinner. I'll probably just have a bowl of soup with some TJ's trail mix and call it a day. I'm afraid I will have to stop buying the trail mix though because I've become addicted to it.

Sushi! Unagi, sweet potato, and California rolls. Plus crab rangoon.

 

[rubysmama]

I snacked on too many cookies this afternoon, so just had a light dinner: Triscuits and cheese, and a small apple.

Broiled Premio Italian sausages, both sweet and hot. Instant mashed potatoes embellished with a little butter, pich of salt, fresh ground pepper, and some left over gravy stirred in, with sauteed sliced red onion on top.

 

[furmonster mom]

Broiled chicken thighs liberally seasoned with a mesquite blend and spicy smoked paprika; stir fry broccoli and red bells, and side salad.

That stuff is so addicting! I bought a couple bags in the individual servings. What I want to know is: Who decided on the serving size?? Not enough!! ugh...
I need a 12 step plan to get away from them.....
