What Are We Eating For 2014 ..

Viv.. I NEVER had any doubts about your cooking..

We (Princess and I) have started a sort of a "low carb" diet just to take off a few pounds before they get out of hand..
As she is a diabetic so she can't go on induction, but just eliminating some carbs daily should do it...
For example, if we eliminate flour, rice, sugar, and potatoes, that should give us a good start while NOT harming her diabetes.. We are keeping a very close eye on her numbers, but so far, everything is normal.....

I will be posting what we are eating as I go along....
 

Tonight for supper, I have NO idea as yet..

Most likely chicken of some sort and probably a breast pounded and seared in a skillet and baked for a while in a sauce of some sort..

Salads, salads, and more salads are the veggie.....
 
It is not really salad weather here..and if this flooding continues, I worry about veggies and salads this summer; more imported tasteless tomatoes :sigh:
 

Supper tonight (Wednesday) was exactly as I said except the sauce was worchester sauce and I used only the skillet..

Salad, salad, and more salad ....................
 
Yesterday I had some leftover stewed tomatoes and green beans, added squash , onions and sweet peppers garlic and rosemary. Then put n some shrimp and some vegetable rotini. Turned out pretty good.
 
Chicken breasts with the bone & skin baked in the oven in white wine..

Steamed (bit of both) cauliflower and broccoli..


Breakfast was scrambled eggs with fresh parsley..
 
We just had a big salad for dinner, made with organic baby spinach, fresh red peppers, grape tomatoes, sweet onions, chives, cucumbers, celery, broccoli and croutons (of course). :)
 
Because we've had such hot weather for a few days all we've eaten is salad sandwiches......
For a change? today we had....

Boneless leg ham with mixed salad and mayo, followed by strawberries and cream.....:yes:

Finishing up with a little dark chocolate.....:chocolate:
 
Last night (Sunday) I made chicken burgers on the BBQ..
Princess simply loved them asking for 2nds..

Steamed turnip, mashed with an egg, herbs and spices (caraway) and some frozen peas, and baked in the oven as a loaf was the veggie..
Princess ate the whole thing !!!


Breakfast was an omelette..
 
Tonight I made chicken thighs with the skin & bone in..
In a skillet to sear and then in white wine to simmer for 45 mins.. Turned out exceptionally delicious..

Spinach bread made with spinach, eggs, cottage cheese herbs and spices, smeared on a cookie sheet thin and baked in the oven at 400f till done .....

Breakfast was a cheese omelette..
 
Tonight for supper I concocted up a "thrown together" casserole..
One pound of minced chicken
chopped onion & garlic
Brown in a pot and then add the minced till not pink..
Add some diced tomatoes with just a bit of juice..
Add any veggie you like.. I added mushrooms, red peppers, celery, broccoli and snow peas..Add herbs and spices & worchester sauce
Cook till done and most of the juice is gone..
Add grated cheese (mozzeralla) and mix into mixture and serve........
 
I guess the closest you californicans might be familiar with would be blackeyed peas. Purple hulls are much better though. Some yankee types sometimes refer to them as southern peas, field peas, or even cow peas. Whatever you want to call them they are scrumptious.

I just had a sausage patty and an egg for breakfast. Looking forward to reruns of the peas, corn and greens later.
