I wish I could put you through a copy machine, Steve! Of course, all the men on the board are wonderful and I mean that, but you are one of the most devoted husbands I've ever heard of. Kudos to you, dear man...your wife is an extremely lucky woman. Sending warm thoughts and hugs to both of you.

My thoughts exactly Katy, Annmarie is a very lucky lady to have a treasure like you Steve, pleased that she is improving.
 

Supper tonight (Friday) I made a meatloaf.. Thought that during the snow storm we needed some comfort food..
Yup, we are in the midst of a whopper of a snow storm.. Several roads are closed !!!

The meatloaf was made with minced chicken..
It turned out simply delicious and Annmarie actually had a decent portion..

Breakfast was a scrambled egg on toast for Princess and some shredded wheat for me..
Lunch was some roast meat on toast for Princess..
1/2 cup of plain yogurt with some S/F syrup..
No lunch for me........

Snack for Princess was a few crackers with cheese....
 

Steve, glad your wife is improving, wishing her the best. :love_heart:

We had charcoal grilled rib-eye steaks, portabello mushrooms, cauliflower and broccoli.
 
She is improving but slowly..
She takes her insulin faithfully, watches her food, walks almost every day, and tries to get plenty of sleep..
Her numbers are still a bit on the high side but nothing like they were at the start of this fiasco..

Instead of eating 3 meals a day (or sometimes 2), she is now eating 6 smaller meals which comprises of a small snack between meals just to keep her blood sugar in tact.....

I still have to help her with this problem and I do it very gracefully...
 
Brrr, it's crock pot comfort food weather. Yesterday I did a pork loin that was in the freezer begging to be cooked. Browned it and put it in the crock with mushrooms, sliced onions, a can of mushroom soup, an envelope of onion soup mix, some beef broth and worstershire sauce. Underneath the crockpot liner I put potatoes wrapped in foil and carrots in a fresh orange ginger honey sauce. They were all done at the same time and made an easy dinner for tonight.

Today I made a big pot of venison chili for tomorrow and with lots leftover for the freezer. It smelled wonderful while it was simmering in the crock pot all day. Tomorrow I'll make a cast iron skillet full of cornbread with jalapeno and cheese to go with the chili.

I'm getting toward the end of last year's venison supply and prospects don't look good for one this year. I'll miss the venison burgers, sausage, chili and stews.

Steve..glad to hear your princess is steadily improving. With six meals a day, life must revolve around food. Hope she evens out soon.
 
Not all that bad as the snacks consist of crackers and cheese which is nothing to prepare..
Breakfast is almost the same, eggs scrambled on one toast or an omelette..
Lunch is again rather simple as it is an open face sandwich of some sort..

While suppers are still the main cooking meal..
I MUST take care of my Princess as she is all I have in life.. Without her, I am totally lost.. Absolutely NO-ONE to fall back on...
 
Tonight (Wednesday) I am thinking of a fish meal..
I have some frozen salmon fillets that I will thaw, and pan fry..

I am looking at a ton of veggies as Princess must eat loads of them..
Cauliflower steamed, smashed and mixed with sour cream, herbs, and butter..
Maybe a small salad as well.....

Breakfast.. Scrambled eggs
Lunch.. An open faced sandwich for Princess and probably nothing for me..

Snacks.. Princess has a few crackers with some cheese as a snack a few times a day..
 
Going to finish the leftovers today so we'll have a clean frige to put all the Thanksgiving leftovers. We're not cooking a big meal but with just the two of us there are almost always leftovers.

We cook once and reheat for a day or two....sometimes more.
 
Tonight (Thursday) I made chicken drumsticks on the BBQ..
Steamed broccoli and mushrooms..
Steamed mini potatoes in butter with parsley..

Breakfast; scrambled eggs on toast
Lunch; open face sandwich for Princess..
 
Surf 'n Turf. Frozen crumbed calamari rings and a crumbed lamb cutlet with chips cooked in the nuke then browned in the pan with cream, pepper and sea salt, a slice of pineapple and some minted peas on the side.
Had it last night and it was so damned good I'm doing it again tonight. :p
 
Let's see.......started with coffee, then a salad, squash, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, chicken, ham and turkey, dressing and rolls. For dessert, chocolate pie and a pumpkin crunch to die for.

no, we didn't make this, because we went to Ron Jon's Resort, in Port Canaveral, for their buffet to celebrate my B'day and Thanksgiving. I might add, delicious.......
 
I made a stew in the slow cooker for supper tonight (Friday)..
Used some chuck, seared it over high heat in a fry pan, then cubed it and put in the slow cooker for hours with some red wine, stock, ketchup and worchester sauce..
I added the veggies with 2 1/2 hours before supper..
Served it over spirals pasta..

Princess said it was the best meal I have made in a while..

Breakfast; scrambled eggs on pumpernickel toast for Princess..
Bran flakes for me..
Lunch; open face sandwich for princess.. Nothing for me.. Actually I had a clementine..
 
Happy Birthday Pappy..sounds like it was a good one from a food standpoint!

Thanksgiving leftovers tonight. They always seem better the second time around, maybe it's because I'm not so tired from the joy of cooking.
 
Leftovers one more time. This should be the last of the meal except we put loads of ham in the freezer. The sweet potato pie is long gone too. It sure was good. I should have made two.
 
last night for supper I made a tuna casserole using canned tuna..
It was good as we finished the whole thing..
How I love those one dish meals ........................
 
Tuna casserole...something I said I'd never eat again after Whatsisname, The Father of My Children, finished his undergrad and grad degrees! But after 30 or 40 years, I made it one night just for the heck of it. And decided I like it! I love casseroles; I call them Dirty One Dish Dinners.

For supper tonight, DD has Crockpot Lasagna underway. It sure does smell good. Yum.
