What's For Dinner? - 2022

Made roasted salmon and asparagus. No hives!

All they had to offer me tonight was 1/2 cup of green beans.

That's a disgrace! They aren't even trying. The dinner you made sounds good though.

Made roasted salmon and asparagus. No hives!

Yay! How did J like the asparagus? I love it.

Lunch: Veggie Sammich-- Dad's Homemade Bread toasted, Lettuce, Celery, 1 Hard Boiled Egg, Cucumbers, Target Organic Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips, 1 Slice Muenster Cheese, 3TB Mayo, 1Tsp Sriracha Sauce, Australian Vegemite. Good, but I missed the Sliced Almonds I put on last time!

Dinner: Taco Salad made with a can of Eden Spanish Rice. It was okay, but I expected it to be more flavorful since it has the spices in it, but I couldn't taste them. Definitely underspiced. I liked the one I made last time with a can of chili better. I added Sour Cream, Guacamole, Hot Salsa, Shredded Cheese,Target Organic Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips. The Spanish Rice had brown rice, pinto beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic, spices. Pic below.

I love asparagus, too, but J wasn't feeling it today. She ate a couple small pieces, a few small pieces of the salmon, and then later on a bunch of her fake Cheerios. She's been signing for nursing all day and was up crying a few times last night so idk, maybe this time she's teething (seems like every time I think she is, she's not, so ). I'm not worried about it.

Lunch was a barbecued chicken breast with diced potatoes, and green beans. Not bad. I have no idea what supper will be. I'm tempted to have a bowl of cereal.

Probably pizza, whether delivery or frozen, I haven't decided yet. It's going to be a busy day in the kitchen as it is.

I could of gotten a grilled cheese but the last two I had were very greasy and I only like them when I have tomato or vegetable soup to dip it in.

Tonight I had fries and coleslaw for dinner. I only went down to eat because I like their coleslaw. I'm really getting tired of potatoes with every meal. We rarely have rice any more.

Yeah, I always think grilled cheese needs something with it, like soup, or at least hot sauce or ketchup.

Lunch: 2 Gluten Free Pancakes, 1 Diced Pear Fruit Cup, 2TB Maple Syrup, 1TB Butter

Dinner: Egg & Cheese Omelet, 1 Slice of Dad's Homemade Bread, Hunt's Ketchup

Happy 76th Birthday to your hubby! I love carrot cake, did you bake it yourself?

I had a garbanzo cake sandwich on 12 grain bread with whipped red pepper hummus, tomato, zucchini, spinach leaves and swiss cheese for dinner. DH had a turkey burger sandwich with swiss cheese and baked potato. He actually asked if he could taste the hummus and I was pleasantly surprised when he said he liked it. Honeycrisp apples for dessert.

Yes I did.We have a family favorite,which is Paula Deen's recipe,with a white chocolate/cream cheese frosting.To die for!

For lunch, a barbecues beef patty, which I ate on a piece of whole wheat bread, and corn. Supper is whatever is next on the pile. Sunday is Instacart day, if they can drive in this. If not, I'll break into the rather nasty Hormel Completes and ramen soups that I keep on hand for emergencies.

 

[Winchester]

A very Happy Birthday to lizzie 's other half!

Lasagna, Golden Sesame Braids bread, broccoli and cauliflower coleslaw, and coconut cake for dessert. Cheesecake for those who don't like coconut cake.

I haven't posted in this thread for a few days, but have just been having easy dinners, like soup. Last night was one of my rice and beans from the freezer. Not sure about tonight, as usual.

One pot chicken and rice tonight. It's for recipes like this that makes me really miss the now closed independent market. I could buy a single carrot if I wanted to. Now I have to buy a whole bag from the supermarket and I have no idea what to do with all the carrots.

Your supermarket doesn't have bulk buying? I've always been able to buy just one or two carrots or potatoes at Jewel (Albertsons) and Meijer, and usually Marianos (Kroger).

Only for things like fruit and some root vegetables like onions. If you want a carrot, you have to buy a 1 lb bag. There's no containers of diced carrots, just for onion and celery and a mirepoix mix that has like a tablespoon of teeny diced mushy carrots.

It's like that here too. Although I think the smallest bag of carrots is 2 lbs. I can buy single potatoes, but 1 potato can cost almost as much as a bag, especially if the bag is on sale. Also can buy single onions, but only the fancy ones, like red onions, not the regular ones like are in bags. We also have some containers of chopped veggies, but they also would be more expensive, as you pay a premium for the preparation.

I remember once reading someone here say they could just buy a stalk or 2 or celery. Not here, we have to buy the whole bunch, unless you buy more expensive pre-chopped containers.

Grocery stores can be frustrating for single people. And don't get me started on multi-item deals, where the "deal" is 2 for $5, but $2.99 if you only buy one.

Now that I would love! I definitely always have to buy a whole thing of celery, and never end up using it all.
