What Are We Eating For 2014 ..

Definiely Ina, I have to feed my fat cells with lots of dressing, won't eat salads without it. I usually buy Ranch, but lately I've been making my own to avoid all the unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients in store bought dressings.

I mix mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, dried chives, parsley, onions, italian seasonings, black pepper...and chill. I've had some melding since yesterday. Hubby just likes to use Kraft Spicy Catalina, and he also adds some Balsamic Vinegar to his salads.

In the year and a half I lived in CA, I never tried an avocado. Everyone kept telling me to try one but never did. Artichokes were popular also. Still haven't tried either one yet.:confused:

Pappy, I just cut an avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit (and you can plant it), sprinkle with sea salt and eat with a teaspoon...easy and good. Fresh artichoke hearts are very good, of course I dip them in hot butter....but you can buy jars of artichoke hearts either in water or olive oil, that are very good too. I prefer the ones in olive oil, usually buy them at Costco.
 
I like avocados, usually have two or three around the kitchen. They are great just as a snack..cut one in half and eat it (at least a portion) with a spoon. They are also good for oral first aid when the jalapeño turns out hotter than you expected.
 
Supper last night (Saturday) was chicken burgers on the BBQ..
Using minced chicken, I made my own burgers and they were soooo good we ate the whole pound of meat...

A green salad with a ton of veggies was on the table..
 
Yesterday we had fried chicken thighs, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn on the cob, and homemade biscuits. Plenty left for today except we ate all the biscuits with some jelly last night.
 
Last night (Thursday) I made a stir fry in the wok...
Chicken breast cut up into bite size cubes and marinated in a honey garlic sauce..
Onions, garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, zucchini, and orange pepper was the veggies....

It turned out soooo good that we ate the whole thing... No leftovers to reheat....


Breakfast was an omelette with cilantro..

Lunch: WHY ????? Absolutely NO reason to eat lunch !!!!
 
Last night we had red southern king crab legs, with French bread, butter and cocktail sauce. Tonight was take out pizza from a really good pizzeria by us.
 
Supper tonight (Saturday) was a chicken breast pounded thin, cut in 2, herbs and spices sprinkled on top and in the skillet it goes.....

Cauliflower steamed and then smashed with sour cream, fresh parsley and pepper...

S/F jello with heavy cream..

Breakfast was a cheese and parsley omelette....
 
Last night (Sunday) I made a meatloaf using minced chicken..
This time I didn't follow a recipe but made it from whatever I had in the fridge adding herbs and spices..
It turned out so good we ate the whole thing !!!!
 
Supper tonight was chicken thighs B/S in the skillet in a honey garlic sauce..

Stewed tomatoes with a ton of veggies in them was the veggie..

Breakfast: omelette with cheese and chives..
Lunch: C'mon.. you know we don't eat lunch !!!!
 
Today's meal is going to be all vegetables. Mashed sweet potatoes, Swiss chard, yellow squash, and I saw a recipe for baked okra I'm gonna try. Oh, and corn on the cob too. Just half an ear.
 
I want to make a stew in the slow cooker, but my stewing meat is frozen solid, so it will most likely be for tomorrow (Saturday)..

As far as today goes, I have absolutely NO idea what to make for supper..
I have all kinds of chicken in the freezer but that won't help me much..

Perhaps chicken breasts with the skin & bone in and baked in the oven in white wine with herbs and spices........
That will thaw in time for supper if I put them in front of the furnace blower..

I took the stewing meat out of the freezer and it is good to go for tomorrow..
I will sear the meat first and then slow cooker with some white wine for several hours..
I will add the veggies and herbs & spices with about 2 hours to go before serving....
