What's For Dinner? - 2022

[Winchester]

It's PieDay around here. I'm using the last of the T-Day turkey for a deep-dish turkey pie.
Dessert will be a peach pie that I froze last summer. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Both were frozen using the Food Saver, so they'll be fine.

Salad with a cut up piece of chicken breast--the chicken was ol tasting... yuck.. I wonder if there is a different taste to kosher chicken. I would not think so. I think it is just low quality...

Hopefully the Blackhawks will do better than last night. Which game are you watching?

I was starving at lunch so ate my big meal then and will only have a sweet potato and avocado for dinner. DH skipped lunch so he's having a chicken kiev with rice and salad. Honeycrisp apples for dessert.

Neither one of us was particularly hungry,so we each had a homemade ham salad sandwich on toast.

Lunch: Couscous with Butter & Parmesan Cheese, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes. Gross! Yuck! I'll try it with maple syrup tomorrow.

Dinner: Annie's Vegan Mac & Cheese made with Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almondmilk, and canned peas. This was a nice surprise! I really liked it with the almondmilk! Also had an Aldi Vegetarian Chicken Burger with Patak Mango Chutney.. That was excellent also! I really liked the chutney.

An enchilada for lunch. Haven't yet settled on dinner.

I am, however, considering getting the stuff to make Dinner Cornbread. It's basically cornbread cooked with bulk sausage, and plenty of bell peppers and onions. I may add corn and green beans to it, as well. I used to make it when the boys would bring unexpected guests home for dinner, because it was tasty, easy, and cheap. Everything you need in a neatly-cut portion of corn bread!

The only difference that could possibly affect taste is the salting that is done after slaughter. If it was too salty it could be because of the koshering process. If it wasn't too salty then it had to be due to it just being low quality chicken. The only other difference is in the method of slaughter.

I hope the Kings did better than the Blackhawks last night.

Spinach tortellini with chopped veggies and pasta sauce plus salad and garlic bread. Honeycrisp apples for dessert.

LTS3 DH saw the Wild Twist apples at the grocery store but they were pricier than the honeycrisp. I told him he should have bought just one for each of us to try - maybe next time.

I found the Wild Twist on sale for $1.99 / lb. It looks like the regular price is $2.99 / lb. I bought two more today but the cashier rang them up as Honeycrisp at $3.49 / lb I didn't realize it until I got home and it was too much of a bother to go back to the supermarket to get the price corrected and a refund. Normally I do self check out but the supermarket only had one open and there was a line so I went to the empty cashier line.

I had leftover Tuscan chicken. It's not bad but I'm not sure if I would order it again through the subscription.

A bagel with fake cream cheese and some banana chips. Lol, I went to the grocery store, so I just needed something fast when I got home.

That's a much better price for the Wild Twist than what they were here but we only pay $1.99 for honeycrisp. Just save your receipt for the incorrect charge and bring it with you the next time you go back to the store. That's what I do and never had a problem. Good luck!

banana chips

Were they the dried, really crunchy banana chips? I put those on salad.

Lunch: Tried eating that leftover Couscous like oatmeal and it was disgusting!!! I added Sliced Almonds, Dried Cranberries, 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Almondmilk, 1TB Cinnamon Honey Sugar Powder. I'll try some Chutney on it tomorrow. I don't know what else to do with it! It's pretty gross.

Dinner: Baked Potato, Green Peas, Scrambled Eggs, Aldi Vegetarian Chicken Patty, 2TB Chutney, 1TB Ketchup, 1TB Howards Hot Relish. Yummy.

Race day today,so we finished up the chicken and potato salad and I made myself a salad to go with.

They're these. I bought both them and the apple ones a couple grocery trips back because I needed more snacks for J, and while the apple ones are okay, these are amazing!!! I know they're just baked, but they almost taste caramelized, like bananas foster.

I made egg fried rice with mushrooms, onion and peas last night. It made 2 servings, so I'll have the rest tonight.

 

[LTS3]

These freeze dried fruit are good: #1 Freeze-Dried Fruit Snack Company | Crispy Green The texture is similar to that of astronaut ice cream if you've ever had that. Very light and sort of melts in your mouth. The tangerine one is literally just the segments freeze dried. The apple one is in various sized pieces, not sliced. I haven't tried the others yet. They're good as a snack but I don't think they'd work well in a salad or anything because they'd just get soggy.

I have chicken nuggets for dinner tonight.

Saturday night was PieDay Part 2.
I'm marinating country style ribs in a brown sugar and bourbon marinade for tonight. Not sure of the sides yet.
