What's For Dinner? - 2023

[neely]

I had my first of several dental appointments. Doc said soft foods only so I had vegetable soup for dinner and dunked a soft roll in it to coat my stomach for the meds. Pudding for dessert. I told DH I didn't know what hurt more my tooth pain or my pocketbook.

I didn't know what hurt more my tooth pain or my pocketbook.

Pocketbook definitely. Dental care prices are no joke unfortunately!

Just had leftovers of that Tempeh, spinach, green beans, rice dish I made with my brother for both lunch & dinner. I finished it up. It made 4 servings, so that was pretty economical.

neely I agree about the pocketbook. Man, it's expensive! Take care!

I think shrimp and grits tonight for dinner, from Kevin Belton. Along with some snow peas. Quite the combination.

Day 2 after dental surgery so my dinner combo of soft foods was apple sauce, pudding and cottage cheese. Tomorrow I'm going to see a play with a friend and go out for brunch, at least I can eat an omelette. And, best of all, doc said I can drink coffee at room temperature!

Lunch: Went out to a diner on the Rez with my cousin. I had a grilled cheese & french fries with ketchup.

Dinner: Veggie Sammich on Dad's homemade bread. Got some new Horseradish Sauce, so I put that on it instead of mayo. It was pretty hot!

Lunch was a biscuit with turkey sausage, cheese and eggs. Dinner is Swedish meatballs with rigatoni and seasoned carrots.

Mac and cheese is on the menu tonight. A bit of pickled cabbage to go with.

I made sour cream biscuits

Yum, that sounds delicious, I love biscuits. I think Winchester and you should go into a catering business and invite all of us.

Yesterday was tremendously windy. No wind today but baby it is cold outside! The snowdrops are flattened to the ground. I wanted to use the oven so

First I baked chocolate chip cookies and then I turned the heat down just a bit and put a meatloaf, potatoes, and a sweet potato in to cook. Dinner in about an hour.

Meanwhile there's a nice fire in the wood burning stove making things cozy.

Tonight's dinner was hamburgers with onion gravy,rice and buttered peas.

Friday: Spaghetti and green breens. The pasta sauce was not good.

Saturday: Salad with lettuce, small amount of shredded carrots and cheese. Two veggie hot dogs. I did not eat the rolls.

I'm doing a tri-tip in the NFG. Never did tri-tip in it before, so I hope I don't screw it up! Crock pot baked beans, leftover mac and cheese.
Dear Richard was rummaging around in the freezers and found a pan of apple dumplings. They're for dessert, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
We have three pies left, so I need to get them used, too.

The pasta sauce was not good.

I've noticed lately that nobody puts spices in their pasta sauce anymore, both the jarred kind & at restaurants. I guess they are afraid with all the allergies & food preferences nowadays. But it's so bland compared to the old days!

Salad with lettuce, small amount of shredded carrots and cheese. Two veggie hot dogs. I did not eat the rolls.

I've been wanting to try some shredded carrots in my salads & stir fries. I love rolls. Are you watching your carbs? I never do. I can't help it. I love my carbs. But I don't eat dessert, so I think I'm okay. Do you like dessert?

leftover mac and cheese.

Did you put tomatoes in it this time?

Well,sometimes I have to make do,and when I realized I didn't have any buttermilk,sour cream was the only solution I could think of at the time,and it worked quite well!

M maggiedemi No, just the regular recipe this time. It was still good.

Beef stew. So far, it's good. Letting it simmer to tenderize the beef. Will add the veggies later.

My friend and I went to the Asian Food market in North Plainfield New Jersey on Thursday. BelleWood-Gardens - Diary

I came home with Japanese style soba noodles, udon noodles, ramen noodles. Packets of hondashi to make broth. Imported shoyu sauce. And also baby bok choi tips, king napa cabbage. fresh sugar snap peas, scallions (2 goodly bunches for $1.75) and more fresh vegetables.

So tonight we had a stir fry of shrimp, mini wontons, various fresh vegetables over rice. Broth and soy sauce for steaming after first quick cooking in wok, thickened with corn starch. Delicious!

And pot stickers. I do not like the directions on the package of frozen pot stickers. They do indeed stick to the pot. I have some ides about this.
