[lizzie]

Hubby says he wants the brats I made with the mashed potatoes,onion and cheese,and that'll work!I may surprise him with a bit of garlic bread to go with,and pickled beets too.

I made veggie fried rice with sliced avocado over spinach leaves for me. I made DH teriyaki chicken tenders with brown rice, peas, carrots and corn. Honeycrisp apple for dessert.

line at popeyes was way to long so gf ended up going to farmer boys i ended up with chili cheese fries and a good cheese burger

Last night I had a salad with tofu, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, ranch dressing and fried apples for dessert.

Butter lemon chicken with rice. It was kind of meh, mainly because of the texture and getting a horrible piece of gristle. The resistant crunch of gristle in my teeth makes me gag.

I'm making individual veggie pizzas for DH and I tonight. I load mine up with veggies and he likes meatless meatballs on his. Kiwi and honeycrisp apple for dessert.

Still baking but I think it will be good. Two individual macaroni cheese using 2/3 milk and 1/3 bouillon, thickened with a butter and flour roux, half and half sharp white cheddar and mozzarella. Didn't have any ham so I broiled Premio sausages - sweet and spicy - then sliced and shuffled the pieces in with the macaroni and sauce. Topped with coarse bread crumbs, dotted with butter, and into the toaster oven. As I said at the start of this - is it a recipe? sort of - I think it will be good.

I didn't have a clue. Found a couple pork chops in the freezer, so we had pork and sauerkraut tonight. With boiled potatoes and some applesauce.

 

[lizzie]

Grilled pork chops with raspberry/adobo bbq sauce (to die for!),mashed potatoes and roasted coriander carrots.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

Roast chicken pieces tonight!

Let's see...lunch was pancakes. Dinner will be Chicken Alfredo. Um...I think. The chicken strips MAY be on top of the pile!

Had the best pizza last night made by the head cook. The only thing about that is that they took us out to lunch yesterday. I had a pasta bowl for lunch and I got a pizza to bring home to freeze and eat when I wanted pizza. The funny thing was that both pizza's were almost exctly the same in appearance and taste.

I ended up with the yucky chili last night.. UGH.. Instead of making it all from scratch with ground beef, they use outside prepared frozen meatballs, crushed up... ugh.. Pretty flavorless.. But with a ton of shredded cheese on top, it was palatable.

They had key lime pie for dessert. I never get dessert, but wanted to try it. Yuck.. It was too sweet! and the graham cracker crust was soggy.. They kept it out too long. Crust got soggy.. I only ate less than half of a small slice.

it was an unsatisfying supper. I ended up eating some Reeses Ice Cream, which I had in the freezer.

Tonight is my own food--- either leftover pizza or Tuna Salad (with celery) sandwich on Sourdough bread with a small bag of chips.

For some reason, they never have celery on the salad bar--- not matter how many times I ask for it... strange...the same with radishes... or a protein...

 

[Winchester]

I don't know. I was scrounging around in the freezer and nothing looked interesting. What did look good needs to be thawed longer than just a few hours. I'm thinking of tuna melts. Or a tuna-pasta salad. Maybe tuna loaf. Tuna-something!
Then again, we could have hoagies. I don't know!

I need to start getting better organized with meals (and I've been saying that for a while now). When I was working, I had menus and knew exactly what I was making from day to day throughout the week. I'd go down to the freezers, get what I needed to thaw for the next day. Then I retired and....poof! Any kind of organization ran out the back door!

Winchester Do you ever use an aluminum tray or pan under what you want to defrost? Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat / cold so it assists frozen things to defrost. Not instantaneous, mind you, but definitely quicker than just sitting on the counter.

 

[Winchester]

C catapault We have granite countertops, so, most of the time I can put something right on the countertop and it will start to thaw fairly quickly. It works for pork chops, steaks, etc. But it doesn't work well for a whole Cornish hen or a piece of pork. I'll try the aluminum. Thanks!

BTW, I decided on tuna melts, using tomato and basil bagels.

That's the beauty of being retired.

I went out to lunch with friends from college and brought home leftovers - roasted veggie salad (mixed greens, red onions, roasted tomatoes, artichokes, walnuts, feta cheese and fresh grilled veggies with balsamic on the side) plus pita bread. DH will have the leftover chicken tenders on an onion roll with swiss cheese and fries. Red seedless grapes and kiwi for dessert.

 

[lizzie]

We had the leftovers from last night.I let him have the rest of the carrots and I made myself a small salad.

 

[catapault]

Shrimp with sauteed sliced red onion, mushroom, cubanelle pepper over pasta. Had tag ends of two boxes - cresta de gallo and tricolor rotini - so we had a medley.
