What are we eating for ..... 2015

Last night (Sunday) I made a meatloaf using minced chicken..
Fresh zucchini from our garden on the BBQ along with HUGE brown mushrooms..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon for my Princess
Bowl of porridge with cottage cheese and sour cream for me.
 

Tonight (Monday) I made a stir fry in the wok..
Chicken breast cubed and marinated in a honey-garlic sauce for a few hours..
Onion, broccoli, mushrooms, celery, zucchini (from our garden... (I forgot the garlic and it showed)..
Vegetable broth is what I used as a liquid as well as the honey-garlic sauce..
 
Today an old friend that I haven't seen in years called me and we went out for coffee and some catching up on our life.. We ended up spending the whole day together just yaking about everything..
By the time I got home, I had nothing out for supper so I quickly defrosted a package (450g) of minced chicken and I made chicken burgers on the BBQ..

A fresh green salad was the veggie..
A thick slice of seedless watermelon for dessert.....
 

Tuna casserole to which I added mushrooms, diced onions, peas.......
I also added a bit of grated cheese to increase the taste and make it cheesier....
 
Tonight (Wednesday) I made chicken burgers on the BBQ..
Peas..A
very simple and fast meal....

The reason I made a simple and fast meal is because as I was getting ready to start supper, and a workman came around to talk to me about some gardening work I want done and we got to talking a bit too long...
 
My breakfast: organic rolled oats mixed with blueberries, walnuts, Carrington Farms Flax/hemp blend and egg whites. First time I've tried putting egg whites into the oatmeal and it was very good. Very filling and healthy. Roughly 355 calories according to the My Fitness Pal app I use each day.
 
Tonight (Friday) for supper I made homemade pizzas..
Took flatbread (wraps) and smeared them with a can of pizza sauce..
Sliced up some mushrooms, sweet peppers (yellow), diced red onion and loads of grated mozzarella cheese..
Put them under the broiler (but low in the oven) on a large cookie sheet till slightly browned on top..
 
Sunday.. I had a workman come in to cut down 85 Emerald Cedar trees that had gone bad from the winter.. They were totally burnt and had to be removed..
Not only cut down but removed which I helped by using my tractor trailer that I mow the lawn with..
By the time supper time came along, I was in NO shape or mood to cook anything but I had to cook something..
I had some frozen burgers made from prime rib which hit by BBQ with pride..
I had some HUGE mushrooms that were very comfortable lying down beside the burgers on the grill..
I took half a cauliflower and steamed it till almost done, and coarsely mashed it with some sour cream and fresh chives from our garden..

VOILA !!! We had a lovely meal with burgers and veggies..

For dessert. I sliced a seedless watermelon in a plate and we enjoyed that..

Breakfast was a wrap (flat bread) in a fry pan with 3 eggs on top cooked on med. heat till almost done and under the broiler it went for a few seconds..
 
Monday supper was salmon fillets pan fried..
Couscous made with stock and herbs..
Fresh green salad mostly from our garden..
Frozen fruit with sour cream and heavy cream..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon for my Princess
3 eggs sunny up for me..
 
Wednesday supper was chicken breasts on the BBQ..
I take B/S breasts, put them individually in a small freezer bag, add herbs and spices and then freeze them.. When I need one, I put them on the BBQ frozen and they are marinated ahead of time.. They come out very juicy and tasty..
Diced butternut squash, steamed, smashed with fresh parsley (from our garden)...
 
Supper tonight was B/S chicken thighs cooked in a honey-garlic sauce in the skillet..

Turnip casserole was the veggie..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon for my Princess
3 eggs scrambled with veal sausage and cheese for me...
 
Tonight (Saturday) I made chicken legs on the BBQ.. It turned out to be a very easy and simple meal as we were out working our field most of the day and I was tired and didn't feel like cooking..
Coleslaw and peas was the veggie..
 
Annmarie had physio for the last time on Monday which means we got home a bit late to make a planned supper..
I took out from the freezer some frozen B/S chicken breasts that I had previously dry marinated and put them on the BBQ grill frozen.. Seeing that they already had all kinds of spices and herbs before freezing, they were extremely tasty and juicy..

I picked from our garden some overgrown (huge) green beans and I steamed them.. I was expecting to throw them out but much to our surprise, they were delicious.. I served them with sour cream..
I had some yellow grape tomatoes from our garden as well.. Also sweet and juicy..

For dessert, I sliced up some seedless watermelon..
A pot of tea which we shared in the living room after all was done...........................

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a meal with only 25 minutes to prepare and serve.. We both ate very well and enjoyed it !!!!
 
Again on Tuesday I was in the garage for most of the afternoon getting my "On Star" upgraded..
It took way longer than expected so when I arrived home, I was too tired to cook a decent meal..
Fortunately I have in the freezer some veal sausages (store bought) in packages of 2.. Out came 2 packages and we had BBQ sausages with couscous (made my way), steamed broccoli with a garlic butter and sesame seeds, yellow grape tomatoes from our garden, sliced cucumber from our gardes, and some cole slaw..

For dessert, I made frozen fruit (blueberries for her and cherries for me) with sour cream, splenda, and heavy cream..
A pot of tea was enjoyed in the living room after all....................
 
Chicken drumsticks on the BBQ with absolutely nothing on them.. Just plain..
Very tasty and we ate the whole batch..

Steamed green beans from our garden..
Yellow grape tomatoes from our garden..
Sliced cucumber from our garden..
Radishes from our garden..
All that was picked about 30 minutes before eating.........................
 
As it's cold and rainy here, and a Bank Holiday, had the family round to dinner and made an English favourite, roast beef, roast potatoes, turnip mash, broccoli, peas and Yorkshire puddings and gravy.Followed by rhubarb crumble and custard. A nice old fashioned meal.
 
Salmon fillets in the skillet in a buttery, dill sauce..
A variety of veggies such as coleslaw, yellow grape tomatoes from our garden, cucumber from our garden, radishes from our garden, zucchini from our garden and steamed and mashed carrots with caraway seeds..
A slice of seedless watermelon for dessert..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon for my Princess
Porridge with cottage cheese and sour cream for me.....
 
We worked all day in the garden and when suppertime came, I was way too tired to cook..

I had some frozen burgers in the freezer that I threw frozen on the BBQ..
Coleslaw, yellow grape tomatoes from the garden, and sliced cucumbers from the garden..
Slice of seedless watermelon..
 
Saturday I made for supper minced chicken burgers on the BBQ....

We only eat fresh corn on the cob once a year and I made corn to go with the burgers.. We had a total feed with enough corn to cut into kernels and have them again the next day..

Dessert was each a freestone peach.. Sweet, juicy and delicious..
 
BBQ Rib steaks......... BOY ARE THEY EVER EXPENSIVE !!!!!!!

Zucchini fritters.. I had lots of zucchini in our garden so I made fritters to go with the rib steaks...

Slice of watermelon..


Breakfast: French toast
 
Tonight (Friday) I made a tuna casserole for supper....
I love those one dish meals..

Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled with onions and cheese..

For Saturday and Sunday I will be making a BBQ as it is my Princess's (Annmarie) Birthday...
We are having some friends over on both days because one of our friend is partially deaf and has trouble being in a room with others, so we invited them over for Sunday..
