I have no idea...what I do know thus far is I'm not cooking, it's been a long, tiring day that beat the hell out of my body. However, at least it was a productive day.

Had a charity event at work, wore heels (ugh), my feet are screaming. No cooking here either lol. Ordering a hoagie and I'm going to eat it with my feet up .

:blueheels: = :bigcry:

Ashoka.
 

I had a late lunch of pasta leftovers, then a snack of cheese and crackers....and ice cream after that...

Something extremely bad and unhealthy.

Oh well!

Cap'n Crunch Sprinkled Donut cereal! :D

Had a hamburger at a diner. It's amazing how many lousy diners there are out there making lousy burgers.

just not hungry
 

a minature snickers bar

I am cooking chicken & artichoke hearts in crazy water. I also added summer squash to it, both yellow and zucchini...and okra. It is simmering in my cast iron dutch oven and it smells so good. :)

The rest of the egg salad I made, and some chips. Ate a pumpkin bagel with cream cheese shortly after because they smelled so good!

I've been craving a burger all week, so I cooked a Turkey burger and had some okra and tomatoes on the side. Hit the spot!

I'm making black bean veggie burgers (lentils, mashed black beans, spinach and kale chopped in the processor, onions and peppers finely chopped, bread crumbs, soy sauce, worcestershire, memphis seasonings, salt and pepper) with temeph "bacon," lettuce and tomato..maybe some cheese on a bun with a side of fries

I like making veggie burgers because I can pretty much put any veggie in them as long as it is put in a food processor to increase the nutrition value and season to taste...healthier and better tasting than store bought.

I will say that the transition from meat eater...to vegetarian...to vegan has been an eye opening experience. Before, I thought I would be going without a lot of things...but, with an open and adventurous mind I don't miss much. Of course the fact they have created vegan foods that taste like the real thing helps. I haven't gone fully vegan yet..but I'm almost there.

*disclaimer doing this was for health reasons and not animal right reasons...I can still throw down a slamming meal for my meat eating friends ;)

If all goes as planned, fried rice and Asian salad

While at the farmer's market today I purchased some smoked pork chops from a local butcher. I absolutely love the meats he makes. It is all fresh and very tasty. Since he didn't have any quarters left in his change box he was rounding everyone's meat prices down. So if it was 11.75 he gave back change as if it were 11 bucks. Once I got it home I got the roaster out and added those, sausage, some fresh cut pork chops (not smoked) and about 2 quarts of sauerkraut. I placed it in the oven to roast for the afternoon and then around 4:30 I peeled potatoes, diced, boiled, and mashed them to go with the sauerkraut. There is plenty of leftovers for tomorrow and I can share some with my sister (her hubby cannot even bear the smell of sauerkraut). It was delicious!!

we had burgers on the grill, steamed mixed veggies, baked potato

for dessert, they had Blue Belle Homemade Vanilla ice cream and I am still working on my 28 oz milkshake ... made with milk, ovaltine chocolate malt powder and huge scoops of the same ice cream

Jennifer subscribes to the belief "what is hers is hers and what is mine is hers too" ... she stuck her snoot down in my milkshake when I placed it on Kevie's new bed steps I recently made for him ... only turned my back on it briefly ... chocolate it a definite no-no for dogs!!! Jennifer is sneaky. LOL! I have to keep a close watch on that little pocket pittie!
