Last night my daughter and I got take out from a bbq place. Neither of us ate though. Raleigh is HOT. Heat kills my appetite...

So..

Lunch and dinner today will be fried chicken, baked beans and Brunswick stew...and hushpuppies

Hard-Cooked Eggs in Tomato-Onion Sauce

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2014...-master675.jpg

Think I'm gonna make this sometime this weekend, looks easy and tasty to me, and will have a few croutons on top instead of the crusty bread that I would prefer.

so, today's kitchen produced

vegan veggie pot pies

mushroom, onion, and pepper with vegan cheese in a hoagie roll to be served with chips

homemade mounds (yes..vegan)

pumkin muffins (apple sauce instead of eggs)

and a quiche for the vegetarian

After almost a whole week of eating nothing but soup or cereal --I went all in tonight:

Salmon patties
Mashed potatoes
Corn on the cob
Sliced beefsteak tomatoes (w/ s&p)
Bottled water to drink

(I have been staring at this stuff in my fridge this whole time wanting to make it)

I might get crazy and have strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Then it will be back on the treadmill tomorrow and a short run.

I am just snacking here and there. Toasted coconut chips with a sprinkle of salt, beef jerky, dry roasted cashews & almonds, walnuts, olives and cheddar cheese.

Coconut chips you say? I have never heard of them. I love coconut. Must try. *googling*

have a burger

- Egg drop soup
- Shrimp fried rice
- Mongolian beef and steamed rice
- fried dumplings
- spring roll

i went with a falafel sandwich (sorta like a burger but completely different). copious amounts of whipped garlic with homemade, fresh out of the wood burning oven pita and a fattoush salad.

*stuffed*

You can buy them already toasted but I find it cheaper and better tasting to buy the raw coconut chips. To toast, spread them out on a cookie sheet, sprinkle a little sea salt on them then toast at 350 F for about 3 mins. then give it a stir and toast another minute or two if needed. Careful they will burn quickly. Once they cool off a bit they are crunchy, plus coconut is a great source of proteins, healthy fats and carbs, so it's a guilt free snack. I make them up a half gallon jar at a time and keep in the refrigerator after toasting, for a handy snack.

Yeah I saw that brand when I googled. Planning on getting some. :)




Jesse- thanks for the tip. Will keep that in mind. First time though will go with already toasted. Then try your idea so I have something to compare to.

leftovers and move leftovers.......cleaned out the icebox and now we're just down to a few condiments :hangloose:

Tonight I am having pan grilled bone-in pork chops with green beans, mashed rutabaga, and a chopped green salad w/ tomato, onion and english cucumber.

I had popcorn AND M&Ms with a frozen Coke at the movies today, and now I'm feeling just a little queasy. Dinner, if it occurs, will probably be much later, and will be something like a bowl of cereal or soup.

String cheese, yogurt, cherries

left over pot pie!

We had grilled cheese sandwiches on some really good organic seed bread, Eureka is the brand, and tomato soup.:hangloose:

A frozen Amy's meal. Black bean enchilada with beans and Spanish rice.

A leftover grilled pork chop from last night, baked sweet potato fries seasoned with sea salt and cayenne, and a green salad with chopped veggies.

Yesterday I went sailing with a new friend and we had lots of little dishes of food that we both took for our picnic on the water..... so I'm having tiny little bits of left over smoked salmon, grapes, strawberries, and a croissant with almond butter, for supper tonight. :)

lime rice, black beans, kale and spinach salad and wheat bread

my lawnmower just quit, it needs a new spark plug ... just as well ... leg cramps were coming on strong so I rushed to get a couple of doses of that pink salt that the Ms Sweet Bliss told me about. I forgot to take it this morning. It makes all the difference. All good now!

Time to eat. This won't be pretty ... even the dogs will stand back. LOL! Cutting up but really am very hungry. All I had today was a banana and handful of potato chips .... lots of gatorade, of course!
