OG, hope you don't mind my copying your icon on eating beaver, damned near puking at the thought of it....

I'm going full gourmet tonight....frozen pizza -- but a really good brand, don't ya know? On sale or I would never have paid the ridiculous price for this brand. I'll add some m'rooms, black olives, onion, and a good dose of olive oil and it will be even better. :)
 
SEABREEZE.....Guac....so many dinners so many times. Doesn't get much better for me.

How do you make yours? I have a short cut that is so tasty & simple, and I just fell into it through being rushed. Now, it's the only way I make it.
 
Tonight for supper I made 4 chicken thighs skin & bone on..
In the hot fry pan to brown (sear) but not cook.. Added white wine, herbs and spices and covered the pan on low for about 45 mins checking that the liquid was still there and adding stock as needed..

Steamed carrots, spuds, onions all together in the steamer..

The meal was so good Princess wanted more.....


Breakfast was scrambled eggs on toasted pumpernickel bread buttered..

Lunch for Princess was an open face tuna salad sandwich on a bed of lettuce..
Glass of soy milk..
 
For dinner we got some unstuffed pepper casserole out of the freezer and some mixed peas. Then we had sweet potato pie on an oreo crust topped with marshmallows. We each had two large pieces of pie.... burp.
 
I have NO idea what to make for supper tonight..

Guess I will have to go shopping, however the freezer is almost full now..

Chicken ????? Hmmmm ... Maybe NOT !!!!!

How about some fish ?? Now that sounds OK ....
What to make with it ??? I need 2 side dishes..
How about some couscous ?? ....... Done !!!
Veggies: ????
I have a green and orange sweet pepper that I can slice with some mushrooms, fennel, and onions... Pan fry them with herbs and that will be the veggie..

There we go.. Supper already planned !!!!!
 
Made a fish chowder last night. We can buy a fish mixture of salmon, white fish, scallops and shrimp. I picked up a cooked lobster that was on sale. Fried up some onion, celelry , diced spuds, threw in the fish and lobster and at the end added some heavy cream. A few buns warmed in the oven and easy peasey, supper done.

The house smells like fish though........
 
That chowder sounds good TICA. I've never seen a mixture like that in the store. I'll have to look for it.

We had a strip steak green beans and a salad. And I got an oreo pie crust and made the sweet potato pie in it. The oreo crust was very god with the sweet potatoes and marshmallows but would have been better if the crust was thicker.
 
Again I have NO idea what to make for supper tonight (Monday)..

Fish is out !!!!!
Italian is out as I have NO wine left.. Must buy 2 bottles today, one red and one white..
Chicken ??? Don't feel like a BBQ.. It is -31c out there.. Not so much the temp but the fierce wind !!!!
Chicken in the oven ?? Perhaps..
Chicken breasts (bone in) baked in the oven in a honey garlic sauce ?? Sounds OK ...

Now what to do as a veggie ???
I have loads of broccoli, cauliflower, red sweet peppers, mushrooms, celery, onions, garlic, mini potatoes, and carrots..
What if I chop up some veggies like onions, celery, mushrooms, pepper, brocolli, and carrots (no garlic as there is some in the chicken sauce) and make some sort of a stir fry with them.. Sounds good...

Now as a starch.. I have couscous, brown rice, pasta, and mamaliga..
Either brown rice or mamaliga for the sauce..
Mamaliga to make a change and add colour to the plate..

There we go !!! I now have a supper planned.. All I have to do is cook it which is a pleasure to do ...

Oh yes, for desert... I just bought the "YONANAS" machine and we have been enjoying it immensely..
Frozen bananas, strawberries, and raspberries made into soft ice-cream.....
Nothing but fruit.. Served with a twig of fresh mint..

All this to be with a pot of decaf brewed coffee.. Suppertime we drink decaf only......

This meal will be perfect for my diabetic wife..
 
Mamaliga is cornmeal ..
The Italians call it Polenta which is another thing to make with cornmeal..
My ancestors come from Romania and it is a staple there.. Served in a few different ways, but it is still cornmeal....

Couscous is a very small ball of pasta that is cooked a bit differently, but is still pasta...

Steve, I love the way you put so much thought into your meals. But you may want to ask the dr about fruit for your wife, or maybe you already have. But my severely diabetic cousin (and much younger than I am) nor my dear diabetic friend are allowed to have fruit at all -- too much natural sugar in it. I was surprised to hear that, thinking fruit would be great for anyone!

I had to kook up mamaliga which seems to be similar to corn meal

I've never eaten couscous either but I know it is made from wheat.I guess it's another form of pasta.

I'd never heard of it either, RK. Jason's Deli has the best salad bar and there is a couscous dish on there I like with several other ingredients. That's about it for the trendy health food appeal for me, just don't care for it!
 
Steve, sounds like you have the makings for a scrumptious stir-fry there...we haven't had that for some time; guess I'd better make one soon. Or - truthfully, hubby does most of the cooking these days too, and he's good at it.

I agree with Katybug about fruit for your wife...one of my friends was pre-diabetic, and always had an orange with her in case she felt weak, but didn't have much fruit otherwise...I'm sure you've checked on that, tho.
 
Made two large crockpots of spicy venison chili and a stew with the last two pieces of venison in the freezer. One pot I gave to my Mexican guys and the other I froze for later. The stew turned out to be one of the best I've ever made for some reason..wish I knew what I did.

Tonight we are having barbequed country ribs done in the crock, with cole slaw and sweet potatoes.

I got new crock pot today! (See how easy to please I am..LOL) One of the handles gave out on my large one, and I was due for a new one anyway. They get a workout around here. It's one I've had my eyeball on for a while, but it was on sale today which clenched the deal.
 
As far as fruit goes for my wife, according to her diabetes specialist, she can have 1/2 cup of fruit a day.. We were told that anything that is a berry is the best fruit to have..
I know the machine makes more that one cup.. Actually closer to a 2 cup serving..When I mix the fruit together, I take most of the berries for her and the rest for me....

WOW !!! I get to have the rest.....
 
I'm drooling!

I'm making a meatloaf tonight, I like to add diced onion, red peppers and fresh grated parmesan cheese in it. And having fresh carrots and mashed potaotes, well not mashed together.
 
Mmmm..meatloaf, one of my favs.

Tonight, oven baked crispy skin cajun seasoned chicken thighs, steamed broccoli w/thin sliced carrots, and potatoes au gratin.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll give my new crockpot a test drive.
