Last night I had dinner at a restaurant downtown.
I had an amazing wedge salad and a flatbread with mozzarella, pesto and roasted garlic. And a local lager to wash it down. Tonight: I have chili in the crockpot. It’ll be ready when I get home from work! I love making a big pot of chili even though it’s just me. I reinvent it to make different things. Like an omelette with chili and cheese, get some decent hot dogs and have it with that, and, my favorite, make sweet potatoes and put chili over them. Just an amazing juxtaposition of sweet and spicy! 🌶️ I’ve even made stuffed peppers with leftover chili. There’s a thought! |

My daughter used to LOVE sweet potatoes topped with chili. It was our Halloween night dinner for years. |
The temps were so high today, even record breaking, I didn't want to cook.
I shredded a carrot and a piece of jicama, mixed with Asian Sesame dressing. Oh, that was good. I got the idea at TJ's . I saw that and thought, I could make that! Imatation crab cocktail. Vanilla Seltzer, love the bubbles! I wasn't able to eat my breakfast yogurt with fruit this morning. I just put it in the freezer for a treat later. |

Dear Dinner Cooks, I finally found a browser that had stored my password. I should change it, shouldn’t I?
Whoa, groceries are so expensive, and since the election, I’ve made some choices about shopping local. But, we are in a relatively lucky position. I made peanut soup two days ago, and Pete assured me that she didn’t mind if we ate it twice. I didn’t love it, but it was okay. I added tofu instead of chicken, and half the peanut butter. We had it twice for dinner, and there was probably enough for Pete’s lunch. https://andersonhousefoods.com/thai-...n-peanut-soup/ |

Tonight I’m making chicken and risotto. The risotto is frozen from Trader Joe’s. So very good. It’s always an amazing, quick dinner after work. The hardest part is deciding if I want the asparagus or the mushroom one……

We went to a farm store yesterday and I bought 6.5 pounds of frozen chicken necks and two frozen turkey wings. We are committed to buying local, and this farm store represents several generations of poultry farmers. ❤️
I got up at 6:00 this morning, and I starting cooking even though we’re going to a seder tonight and Ill probably fall asleep at the table. I’m making chicken soup in two stock pots, and turkey broth for Arnie. I added onions, carrots, parsnips, and bay leaves to our chicken soup, but Arnie’s broth is plain. The house already smells delicious. Tonight? We’re going to a seder at our synagogue which will start at 5:30 and end at 9 pm. It’s a good thing they kept it short. |

Similar deal here. Once in a while my mom and I will cook a whole chicken or turkey breast and I always save "what's left" to make stock. I was working from home on Friday so I set up the stockpot and made a nice big batch of stock. Then made soup with mushrooms, kale, broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, and a little bit of chicken. I've had a head cold all weekend so this has pretty much been breakfast, lunch, and dinner. |

It is so convenient to have chicken soup in the freezer. |

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well, easygoingfemme. That's a really healthy sounding soup you made; I sure hope you get better soon. |
Thank you, I'll pull through :)
Speaking of using things to the fullest, when I had my big dog (100 lb pit bull) I used to finish making the stock and then I would strain out the stock and puree everything that was in the pot and add that to his food. He always has mega zoomies on the days he had the final gifts of the stock pot. |
Tonight will probably be a pizza from Trader Joes. If y’all have never had the French ham and Gruyère cheese…..you haven’t lived. I’m not even a fan of pork and I buy them two at a time!
