I'm taking advantage of the cooler weather and made a big pot of peanut chicken vegetable soup. I totally hit the spot.

I've been in an "ick" mood when it comes to dinner these days because of the humidity here, so I have been grazing for the most part. I think I will cook some chicken in the crock pot overnight to have with some veggies and a salad tomorrow. I will likely have fruit of some sort for dessert.

Ok...after all that, it was more chicken salad. Seems some had been "saved" for me. Sometimes we need to be saved from those who would save us.

Whatever would we do if chickens hadn't been invented.

This sounds amazing! Got a recipe you are willing to share :D

Not sure what my deal is with nachos lately.

But, I'm having nachos again.

Sweet tea to drink

andddddd...

for dessert some lemon pudding.

I had junk, I grazed on junk food, chips and such!

french bread toasted with roasted red pepper hummus, topped with spinach and chopped tomato

and a zone perfect chocolate mint nutrition bar

BBQ pork chops on the grill, baked potato with a dab of sour cream, mixed vegetables and sliced tomatoes. Large milk to drink.

I am sitting outside on the patio eating right now. It is so nice out tonight, a little cool and no bugs. I cooked 4 huge hamburgers for my canine children. They ate first. Now both of them are here at my feet looking pitiful every time I take a bite of food.

Gladly!

This is the recipe that I generally follow with a few additions. I add a bay leaf, about 2 tsp of cumin, a tsp of curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne, and 1-2 tbsp of Sambal Oelek chili paste (depends on how spicy you like it).

You can use any veggies that you like. I typically use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, and I like to add yellow squash and sometimes a little okra or corn.

I know it sounds a little odd adding peanut butter to soup, but trust me when I say this is good stuff. :)

I'm going with a butternut squash and kale risotto (butternut squash, kale, garlic, white wine, veg broth, red onion, Arborio rice, parmesan cheese) with a side salad and french bread

I literally threw dinner together...

I sauteed the remaining chicken sausage in olive oil, added some leftover fresh mushrooms and frozen pepper/onion blend. Threw in a can of diced tomatoes and Got some fresh basil from the garden and threw it in.

Then made a pot of spaghetti which I mixed with some olive oil and minced garlic...

Threw it together and sprinkled with some good parmesan cheese. Voila!

I made lasagna, garlic bread and salad. :-)

tonight will be bean tacos with a corn and black bean salsa, avocado and Mexican rice

Going out to an "art show" tonight and I think dinner is included...I guess "you pays your money and you takes your chances"

I made myself a huge chocolate milk shake.

Does everyone know? The Rock Star of all ice creams is back. Loving that Blue Bell! I was a pouty stone butch while they were not producing and distributing. I could not get satisfied with any other brands. Mayfield was as close as I could get but still lacking.

Pancakes and bacon

pizza from the freezer....what's it to ya? We can't all be gourmets.
