What are we eating for ..... 2015

Today (Monday) looks like a food shopping day..
I haven't gone food shopping in well over a week and I still have enough food in the freezer to last an awfully long time more...
Especially frozen wild meat which I should start using soon..
I have frozen...... Moose, Bear, Deer, and some Beaver left......

Perhaps tonight I will have some wild meat.. Not sure what yet, but something.......
 

After we came back from food shopping, I was too tired to cook a long involved meal, so I threw some frozen fish into the hot skillet and we had a fish meal of fillets of sole..

We had shopped at 2 super supermarkets, hardware store, general store, coffee at McDonalds while it was -27c with a very brisk wind.......
I took the car instead of the truck to try it out for shopping..

I also steamed a mixture of different frozen veggies and that was also very good..
I made a sauce of mayo and ketchup with a bit of horseradish and it went nicely over the fish..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette for my Princess and 2 slices of turkey bacon..
3 scrambled eggs for me with some grated cheese..

I haven't eaten lamb but once or twice in my life and that was many years ago. I would like to try some again but don't know where to find any around here.

I love Lamb and it's plentiful here, but I haven't had it for a little while because I am generally cutting back on meat...but I know exactly what you mean tho' RK, because when I lived in Spain they have the same problem, Lamb is very difficult to buy, shops have Rabbit, duck, chicken , Pork...and some very fatty beef, but rarely any lamb and when it is available it's HUGELY expensive.. I really missed it all the years I lived there because I hate pork and chicken gets very old almost ever other day..
 
Sunday was roast chicken stuffed with garlic, lemons quarters & fresh herbs; rosemary & parsley, also made lasagna rolls w/ sausage, ricotta, bechamel sauce & tomato sauce on top, green beans with garlic & olive oil and a chocolate bundt cake with mocha whipped cream.

I do ALL the kitchen cooking for every meal and then some..
My wife did the cooking for 25 years with her first family and now it is my turn..

Actually when I retired in 1997, my wife told me to get a hobby.. I was thinking and decided to take up cooking.. I took a course, went to school and ended up working (after the course) for chef Maurice in Montreal as a sous chef.. That lasted only a short time as I wanted the experience but couldn't handle cooking 7 days a week for just under 100 people every meal..
I quit shortly after and have been cooking at home ever since.. I NEVER cook a fancy meal but rather home style meals..
 
Last night (Wednesday) I made a meatloaf using minced turkey.. I added herbs, spices, and a box of stove top turkey stuffing to the meat.. It called for a cup of water which I used a cup of stock and it was soooooo good we pigged out and almost ate the whole loaf..........

Steamed fresh cauliflower..
Coleslaw..

Breakfast was a 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of turkey bacon for my princess..
3 scrambled eggs with grated cheese for me..
 
Frozen Chicken breasts in the electric grill press..
Steamed and mashed butternut squash with peas added and herbs...

Breakfast.. 3 egg omelette for my Princess with chives and 2 slices of turkey bacon..
3 eggs scrambled with a sausage for me..
 
(Friday)... I had some frozen salmon skewers that I thawed and put them on the BBQ..
They were delicious..
I made steamed cauliflower with small green peas as the veggie..
Coleslaw..
 
My husband does all the cooking since he's a more creative cook and enjoys it. However, he's busy laying tiles in the bathroom and then putting in the toilet. So I'm making soup for dinner with lots of veggies, lentils, rice. Just got some whole grain seeded bread out of the bread machine so we'll have that with it. I'll also have a salad.
 
Lentil and vegetable soup is my very favourite home made soup...I make it in the stock remaining after I boil a Bacon joint..


Last night I had Mushroom papardelle for dinner..


This morning had dried fruit for breakfast, lunch was some taramasalata on toast and a toasted fruit scone ...no idea what to make for tonight...I may have haddock and green beans and a rocket salad or some smoked trout with sweet potato and parsnip chips
 
Baked chicken breasts skin & bone in..

Steamed carrots with added peas..
Scraped carrots (carrot salad) as well..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of turkey bacon for my princess..
A bowl of porridge with cottage cheese and sour cream for me..

We actually had lunch today.. Each 2 sausages on the stove top with mustard and relish..
A pot of coffee as well..
We got up rather early, that's why...
 
Supper last night (Wednesday) was a meat loaf as we were out of town and I prepared the loaf ahead of time and just had to put it in the oven when we came home..
Turnip casserole in the oven as well was the veggie along with a carrot salad.................

Breakfast today.. 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of turkey bacon for my Princess..
3 eggs scrambled with grated cheese for me...

Lunch yesterday was a coffee at McDonalds..
Lunch today...... Nothing....
 
Thank you, rkunsaw. I have eaten blackeyed peas, but had never heard of purple hulled or crowder peas before. Here in western Canuckistan, we mostly eat kidney or black beans. In fact supper is black bean soup with cheese lumps, dumplings, and cornbread. Here cornbread is known as johnnycake. I also do not know what a hush puppy is?
 
Friday is food shopping day this week.. After I get through shopping, the shop should be empty of food as my fridge and pantry are very low.. BIG order coming up.......

Veggies this time of the year are useless, so I will be looking into frozen veggies..
Fruit is also not in season.. I just skip that section..
