Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
Oh well....I need to plan better I guess. It's been raining and storming all day. I guess I'll have to make do with a tuna salad sandwich and vegetable soup (from the can).
Started back on track after almost a full year of paying more attention to Mom and her needs than my own. (And boy, does it show - that scale and I are having a love-hate relationship.) I've started doing some cooking in batches and freezing meals ahead, so I can stay on track. Made a really nice low-carb green smoothie yesterday, picked up some hard salami, cheeses, raw veggies and salad stuff to make it easier to stay on track. My FoodSaver has been getting a workout. :-)
Going to make some meatballs tonight to freeze, but dinner tonight will be pork steaks grilled on the GF grill, along with some steamed veggies, or maybe some salad. Also going to bake up a couple batches of Christmas cookies (which I didn't get done before Christmas) and give them away - just so I can use up the ingredients I bought and get them out of the house.
With this infection I lost all desire for what I usually love to eat: juicing veggies, raw veggies. I even had pretty much given up bread but now I seem to be addicted to it while sick. But the joy of eating a perfect grapefruit or honey tangerine! I heard Bromelain is good to take for a supplement with this. Instead I am drinking lots of pineapple juice. Feeling better slowly.
Cook 6 slices of bacon nice and crispy (2 minutes in microwave)
In 9" glass pie plate: spray with oil, add a roll-out pie crust.
In a blender: 1 cup milk, 5 eggs, an onion, 1/2 red pepper, 1/2 cup Bisquik.
Pour that into the pie shell. Top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella and crumbled bacon. Bake at 350F 40 minutes. The center should be risen into a nice dome shape. Cool ten minutes. Serves 4. The texture is soft enough to eat without your teeth in. :-).
The night before, I made a new experiment in the crockpot. I took 4 frozen chicken breasts, put it in the crock with Mojo and salt pepper and garlic. Then a I just left it. Served with rice, and steamed broccoli.
ive been eating canned potatoes , reheated , drained , then hit with velveeta cheese . im not sure it gets much tastier than this .
Actually-it was not complete at all, it was severely missing in the nutitional aspects of chocolate.
for in-in-out burgers-for some that would last all day and into dinner!
