I made the collard greens in the Instant Pot, and they were easy, quick and delicious! I sautéed the onions, poured in some chicken broth and vinegar and sugar and spices, stirred in a pound of collard greens and put it on steam with the vent closed for 10 minutes. They were perfect!

The last few nights I've been eating frozen dinners I made and froze some time ago. For one meal I had stuffed cabbage made with carrots and ground turkey. It was super delicious when I made it, but it didn't freeze as well as the rice and ground beef version I have always made in the past. It was still flavorful, but very "wet." On the positive side, it produced a nice amount of tomato broth which I really enjoyed.

My second meal was chunky beet and cauliflower soup, one of my favorites. It is such a beautiful color, Along side I had the last four cheese puffs left i the bag - I just wanted that little bit of cheesy/salty taste, and my low cal daily addiction, a fudgsicle.

Forgive me, I know this is a thread about dinner meals, but my favorite meal of the day was what I call breakfast because I almost always eat breakfast foods. I had a lot of calories left for the day, so I had a veritable feast eaten over a drawn out period of 1-2 hours. First I had toast with sliced Roma tomatoes and unsmoked provolone cheese which I toasted till the cheese on top just started to brown. So good. Then I had a small orange cut into a bunch of wedges. It was juicy and just right in sweetness. Lastly I had cream of wheat made in the microwave in one of the pretty turquoise bowls i just recently brought. I added brown sugar, a dab of bluebonnet margarine and some shredded coconut. mm mm mm.

Parsley potatoes

The grand kids were dying to go swimming. of course they didn't bring suits, but we put this and that together so they could swim. That was great, but the bad part was that everything overcooked while they were swimming even though I turned the oven off. Oh well. Lots of it still got eaten and we had a cute little store bought Valentines cake for dessert. My baby girl, who is six, declared me the "the best gramma in the whole world." What could be better than that?

Smooches,

Not to brag, but I make delicious chicken soup. Its a LOT of work though so I don't make it all that often. Today it was raining and edging toward colder weather here, so today was the day for soup making.


Its a lot of work because I won't make it unless I have at least ten fresh veggies on hand, and since I do it by hand, they are a lot of work to cut up. Veggies vary by what's available when I make it, but it has to have cabbage, and it has to have bay leaves in it. Also, I like to put three different kinds of onions in it because they really layer the flavor. Today I made a huge batch with nine chicken drumsticks, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, yellow onions, green onions, dried minced onions, fresh corn cut off the cob, mushrooms, zucchini, frozen peas, and a package of smashed up ramen noodles including the flavoring. I ate it for two meals today, I have one all ready in a bowl in the fridge to heat up and eat tomorrow, and I made up 6 "TV dinners" for future meals In each meal I make up, I make sure there is a whole drumstick and about 1.5 cup of veggies and broth. Its plenty of food, and it looks pretty in the bowl.


Wish I could have y'all over for dinner.

I’ve been learning how to prepare and make Cauliflower Rösti…. I like to snack on them for breakfast or have them for dinner. After I bake them, I serve them with sliced Avocado.

That looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe.


For myself tonight I had the last of my home made chili and for dessert, a Luigi's frozen Italian ice. They are SO cold, it really helps to nuke the cup for thirty seconds to make it easier to eat.
