What are we eating for ..... 2015

Last night (Friday) I was lazy..
Very lazy..
Very very lazy..
Very very very lazy....
We had just come back from food shopping and it was raining, very windy, cold, and I had on a light jacket instead of a warm one.. I was just miserable...

I looked in the freezer and took out some prepared burgers to BBQ...
I also found some veal sausages that were also frozen..
They all went unto my BBQ and that was the meal...

Steamed butternut squash, mashed with butter and chives was a veggie..
Coleslaw was another....
Sliced tomato with a drizzle of EVOO and some fresh basil leaves chopped on top..

For dessert, I had some vanilla pudding I made the day before which I added some frozen blueberries and some heavy (18%) cream.....

That is what I call a very lazy supper...............................
 
I'm actually doing the cooking tonight.

Pasta with homemade Quorn mince (vegetarian) sauce, garlic bread, salad.
 

For supper last night (Saturday) I made a Tuna Casserole with a ton of veggies in it..
I truly love those one dish meals.. Easy to prepare and easy to clean-up afterwards..
Actually it turned out to be a vegetable casserole with tuna.........................
 
Husband is making lasagna tonight for our guests and there will also be salad and garlic bread. I'm really serious about getting closer to my goal weight before our trip so this time I'm going to have salad and a Quorn (vegetarian) pie and will try to resist the garlic bread. I love the Quorn pie but I could easily eat two of them!

It's cold !!!!
Time for some soul food !!!!

Meatloaf made with minced chicken............

I am thinking of a turnip casserole to go with it.. Another good soul food..
I have some coleslaw as well..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of turkey bacon for my Princess...
A bowl of porridge for me.. I like my porridge with cottage cheese and sour cream...
 
Tonight (Tuesday) I made chicken drumsticks on the BBQ and then put them in a bowl with some BBQ sauce when they were fresh from the grill...

Steamed string beans
Coleslaw
 
Last night (Wednesday) I made those B/S chicken breasts that I marinated before freezing..
I put them on the BBQ frozen..

Steamed and mashed carrots with peas was the veggie..
 
Supper tonight (Friday) was certainly different..
I found a large piece of meat in the freezer in the shape of a steak or something like that.. I have NO idea what it is at all.. Definately not beef or veal..
Well, I thawed it, dry marinated it with spices and herbs, let it sit for an hour, and then put it on the BBQ....
It turned out to be almost the best piece of meat we have eaten in a long time.. Tasty, tender, and juicy..
A fresh salad that I made went very well with it..
 
Supper on Saturday was pre made burgers, frozen and on the BBQ.. Each one veal sausage as well on the BBQ..
We were out all day and I took nothing out of the freezer for supper, so I had to do something fast...

Steamed broccoli...

Breakfast: bowl of porridge with cottage cheese and sour cream for me..
3 egg omelette with 2 slices of turkey bacon for my wife..
 
Sunday supper was a brand new recipe I tried out with a bit of boosting up..

A casserole (how I love them) with cubed B/S chicken breast, herbs and spices, a jar of spaghetti sauce, veggies, and I added some cooked pasta.. cooked for a while and then......
I put the mixture in a large loaf pan but only half.. I added grated mozzarella, and some parmesan cheese, and some basil (dried).. I added the rest of the mixture on top and then added more mozzarella.. Baked in the oven at 375f till it bubbles and the top cheese starts to brown...

It came out extremely tasty..
 
Last night (Monday) I made NOTHING for supper.....

We went to our local seniors club for a pot luck supper.. I actually had the day off for a change...
 
Something new that I concocted up for supper..
Chicken breast with bone and skin on..
I made a sauce with soy sauce, red wine vinegar, EVOO, brown sugar, garlic, onion, and herbs.. I also added some chicken stock to the mixture..
I baked the breasts in the sauce at 400f upside down to start and then I turned them over..

Simply delicious.. Moist and flavorful..

Steve I was reading old posts in this thread by you ,and I was wondering do you eat wild bear ?
 
Yes... I certainly have eaten black bear several times including last year when I was given several different cuts of meat from a bear at hunting season..
Out of season killings, NO....
Beaver is excellent eating..
Moose is very common up here and is plentiful.. I have lots of moose meat given to me each year..

Last year I was given sausages made from bear and moose meat... AWSOME !!!
 
I put some meat in the slow cooker not knowing what kind of meat it was.. It looked like a large chunk of meat with just a bit of marbling in it, with no bone...
It turned out to be some MOOSE that was in the freezer from last year's kill...

Boy was it ever delicious, tender and not dry at all..
 
For supper tonight (Wednesday) I took out of the freezer a package of minced chicken (450g) or one pound......
I will most likely make a meatloaf as it is probably the easiest......... or ...
I might make chicken burgers on the BBQ..... Which is also easy....... or .....
I might make a casserole with loads of veggies... which is not easy ..

Something will be done with my package of minced chicken, ........ for sure !!!!!!!

I have a turnip that I will make a turnip casserole to go with the meal as a veggie...
I also have some coleslaw on the side..
 
We have emptied our freezer and nearly emptied the fridges in prep for turning both off for 3 months. Found a package of pork sausages and we have 4 eggs left so it's breakfast for dinner with homemade seeded toast. Tomorrow night we are eating out. Think I'll have salmon.
 
Chicken stew which I made to-day, enough to put 5 or 6 meals in freezer.
Salad first, home made cookies and milk for dessert.
Time to pour the glass of before dinner wine.
