What Are We Eating For 2014 ..

Tonight we had "Lasagne for 2", and a nice salad featuring radishes, fresh from the store!:) Tried Paul Newman's sauce and found it outstanding! Found the recipe in the June/July 2011 issue of Cook's Country magazine. The neat trick ...a plain 8 1/2" loaf pan is the perfect size for four no-boil lasagna noodles. :) Had some Snapple iced tea to wash it down!
 

Salads tonight with organic baby spinach, sweet onions, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, broccoli, yellow peppers and croutons. Homemade dressing for me made with mayo, red wine vinegar, chives, parsley, black pepper and Italian seasonings. Hubby had Catalina and Balsamic Vinegar.
 

Tonight i made salmon fillets in the skillet in a lemony, buttery, dill sauce....

A turnip casserole was the veggie..
No fresh garden veggies as it is raining cats and dogs with lightning..
won't go out .....

Breakfast: Omelette with fresh chives from the garden..
Lunch.. NOTHING
 
For tomorrow (Sunday) I took out of the freezer a package of B/S chicken thighs that I will cook in a garlic-honey sauce in the skillet..

Veggies from the garden for sure......
 
Chicken drumsticks on the BBQ for supper tonight..
Dry rub marinated first...

A salad from our veggie garden...

Breakfast: Omelette with onion greens from our garden..
Lunch: NOTHING !!!
 
For supper tomorrow (Tuesday) I took out of the freezer a large B/S chicken breast..
What to do with it is another challenge..
Most likely pound it thin and pan fry it with some herbs and spices in a sauce of some sort....

A fresh garden salad will go well with it....
 
We will be gone for almost a week..
We are going to North Bay, Ontario as we have never seen the place and are perhaps thinking of relocating there in a few years.. We have been there before but never took the time to see it properly..
Staying in a hotel as I sold my camping trailer..
It turns out cheaper than camping and better for us...... MUCH CHEAPER AND MUCH BETTER .....

I really don't expect to be watching my food that carefully as it is vacation time and I am down quite a bit anyway.. Perhaps my metabolism could use a change, and perhaps not, but I intend enjoying myself.....

I will weigh myself before leaving and when I return to see if there is any change....
 
I'm back and I ate everything I shouldn't of during the mini vacation of 5 days...

I still seemed to have lost a bit of weight during that time..


Chicken burgers on the BBQ last night..
Served with my homemade mushroom sauce..

Steamed, smashed with sour cream and chives cauliflower was the veggie..

Cantaloupe for desert..
 
For supper tomorrow (Tuesday) I took out of the freezer a package of B/S chicken thighs that I will cube and marinate in a honey-garlic sauce and make a stir fry in the wok....

As the veggies, I have a ton and will be using lots of veggies..

Breakfast will be an omelette with onion greens and cheese..
Lunch:: NOTHING !!!!!
 
For supper last night (Friday) I made a casserole consisting of minced chicken, ton of veggies, can mushroom soup, cheese, and a bit of pasta to stretch it... Herbs and spices ....
Baked in the oven ...

Turned out that I had enough to bring a casserole over to our friend that is very ill as well as one for ourselves...


Breakfast was an omelette with onion greens..
Lunch was a diet pop at McDonalds
 
I don't cook every day as I am working full time, but beef and carrot stew with dumplings and apple and blackberry pie with custard for tonight. I love cooking!
 
Has anyone noticed that the things we ate as kids..I came from quite a poor family..such as pork hocks...breast of lamb...liver..etc are now top dollar in the most exclusive of restaurants? :livid:
 
No, I hadn't noticed. We rarely eat at restaurants, especially exclusive ones. I never had lamb breasts either. I have noticed for several years now that pork hocks in the stores have almost no meat on them. We don't buy the anymore. I can't find pork liver at the store either. We have chicken livers quite often.

I don't either rkunsaw..just watch cookery programs with famous chefs..chicken livers are delicious! How do you cook them?...I tend to roll them in flour and then fry them..

Lamb hocks are good..slow cooked with Moroccan spices..
 
That sound delicious...I am from England..what is your best ever recipe for fried chicken?

And do you eat turtles over there?

What do they they taste like?..
 
Hello Twixie, Glad you found us. I too came from economically challenged folks. (poor people:playful:) On a good Sunday, we would have chicken and dumplings, on a bad one we had potatoes and onion soup. Ham hocks and pinto beans were a real treat. The hubby loves fried chicken livers with a good hot sauce.
Turtles are pets around here, so no turtle soup for us.
It was a long time before I understood that we were poor. Shrimp were for the rich, unless you had fishermen in the family, which we did.
Hope you like it here, and decide to goof off with us.
I am Ina from Texas. :hatoff:
 
That is a wonderfully warm welcome Ina...and you just made me think of something...Hot water in the bath..it seemed that everyone had a bath before me..by the time I got in..it was soup..

My mother used to buy turkey chicks..and it was our job to raise them..by Easter..they all had a name..they would follow us around like puppies..then Christmas eve...they were all slaughtered.and when their poor little cooked bodies were presented to us..we would all snivel and refuse to eat them!!
