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.
Lookee ma .. I'm cookin'
Those prepared sauces are good on a day when you want to focus your culinary energy on some other part of the meal!
Cap, good luck with your treatment.
got the call today. next wednesday i have an appointment with va to start my hcv tx. according to wiki this tx has a 100 % success rate. oh those are so much better odds than 47 % minus the 24 % who dropped out for mental issues. if wiki is wrong, well , we'LL change that . lol
Steam, 1 small frozen bag each, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots in a pan with a little water until defrosted. Drain. Mix in casserole dish. Top with slices of american cheese. (I like Kraft, it's got the best flavor, imo) Mix a can of cream of mushroom and a can of cream of onion soup together with 2 cans of milk. Pour on top of vegetables and cheese. Cover dish with tinfoil and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Take the casserole out and take the tin foil off. Top casserole with french fried onions. Bake another 5-6 minutes. Enjoy! :D It's good with a little sour cream, too.
I remembered that last time I needed it I was out of sesame oil, so I bought a bottle. Does anyone else feel odd about getting a full bottle of something in order to use 1/8th of teaspoon?! In this case I know I use this stuff periodically, or that bottle would be a lifetime supply -- my great-grandson's lifetime! :)
We had canned peaches and blueberries as a side dish. I love the very-light syrup jars of peaches from Costco.
i have to turn down lunch foods all the time when working for private homeowners. if id get my belly full id end up laying under a shade tree licking my n*ts..
im boiling chicken gizards again tonight. im of the belief that our body craves what it needs. my body says " get em more tender tonight a**hole " ..
I'm so very aware of the risks of eating poorly. I just ignore the rules sometimes and accept the consequences. Eating habits: people keep yammering at me that I must have breakfast, and the earlier the better. That oh, so, doesn't work for me. If I have anything to eat within the first 8 hours of waking, all I want to do is eat ALL day, and never feel satisfied. At that point, I typically have a small 'lunch' (like half a sandwich), and supper is about 4 hours before I go to bed, again. And my portion size is probably half of a typical meal served in a restaurant.
I think I mentioned it somewhere .. one of my fave meals is a baked potato with a veggie bin salad (made of whatever's in there) with my favorite dressing (I dip rather than pour it on, that way it's the first flavor I taste and uses less than a 1/3 of a normal dressing helping). Yum. Know what I'm having for supper tonight!
i drove past 4 teen girls yesterday who looked like sacks of potatos with limbs attached. wth? if were to become less physically active, perhaps our diets should change to compensate. i eat one meal a day and have for years -- dinner. my theory is, if exess fat in the bloodstream is causing us health problems i want to lean it out every day. in only a little while the body adjusts and there is no such thing as a hunger pang. most nights i only eat because i know that i should.. not trying to be judgemental or sound superior. im sharing this for the people who would like to trim up a bit but arent having much luck.
we are used to eating a big dinner then sleeping, not much fuel burned during sleeping. then we eat a hearty breakfast. WHY ? is what im asking..
energy for working? nah. not buying it. i work like a borrowed mule..
im reaching for the stars tonight. boiling some chicken gizzards to get em tender , then ill fry em..
s-a, i used to make " potato " donuts into a braided form. had apple bits in them. not much different from a big cinnamon roll but the braided form has more surface areas for glaze.
no one to cook for anymore so chicken organs are fine with me. they should serve me well with hepc tx and anemia looming..
Tonight was another semi-homemade main course. Have you used the fairly new pouches of sauce? It is sort of like pouring cream of mushroom soup over something, but more sophisticated (and expensive). Tonight we had Cambell's Marsala sauce over chicken. Very fast and pretty tasty. We also had a what's-in-the-fridge salad consisting of shredded lettuce, dates, almonds, celery, a few cauliflower and broccoli pieces, and avocado slices with a lemon caper dressing leftover earlier in the week.
I like making my own sauces, but sometimes a shortcut is welcome.
SA, this is the first year in a long time I didn't do at least one corned beef brisket in March. Glad you enjoyed yours!
Since I've gotten older, the less and less l like eating red meat. I do like it, have no problems with it, but for some weird reason I'm just turning off of it more and more, especially these last 3-4 years.
No idea what I'm doing tonight. Probably nothing. My boys can have leftovers.
Son is away tonight so I made pork tenderloin which Daughter and I like, and Son does not. Used onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, and smoked paprika as a dry rub, sliced, and cooked in cast iron skillet on top of the stove, while brussel sprouts and butternut squash cubes roasted in the oven. Daughter asked if I used honey on the squash. Nope, just olive oil with a little allspice and cinnamon. They were nice and sweet!
lets leave people who think within the box in there. society will be safer..
