Simple home made salad.... yes with cottage cheese

There's a place down the road a ways that has wood fired pizza...and pasta...

I've never been there but I wanted to try something different..

I got shrimp scampi. It was done in an odd fashion with marinara instead of a wine and garlic sauce...but it was awesome.

I got a huge chocolate chip cookie for dessert...and have a hard cider in the fridge...

scrambled eggs, bacon, toast with apple jelly, chocolate milk

Pork chop w/Sriracha sauce, broccolis, corn on the cob, and mashed potatoes.

I stopped by the Gyro shop and ordered: a large Greek salad, hold the dressing and the potato salad, and add 2 stuffed grape leaves and a small order of gyro meat on top, tzatziki sauce on the side and an unsweetened tea to go. Please & Thank you! I will likely have enough for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow.

Polenta, spinach, and leftover butternut squash from last night.

Mexican casserole dish mom is making!

sushi & vegetable chow foon

Veggie sushi and veggie lo mein.

Brisa
 

beef, bean and cheese burritos (that I made...not frozen) mmmmm......

I'm thinking it's time for some lemony chicken piccata with a bunch of garlic and capers and a side of stir-fried sting beans or sprouts.

We are going out this evening, I'm getting the fried crawfish tails with French fries. A couple beers to drink.

We had to drive all the way to Temecula, but we finally found good Indian food!

I even tried curried goat...not something I will try again. (w)

We got pizza from a new place that has gourmet gluten free pizza. I had mine with mushrooms, olives, spinach, and goat cheese. My daughter had hot peppers, ricotta, olives, and spinach. Was worth the hype.

Dinner
 

I had Ritz crackers with pimento cheese and ice tea to drink.

yesterday, I made a couple things to munch on for when the mood hits:

a creamy vegetable and wild rice soup (when something calls for cream I use almond milk with equal parts of vegan sour cream and vegan cream cheese...works like a dream)

and

a spinach, mushroom, onion, potatoes in a green chili curry stuffed into hand pies.

so, today was left overs

Couldnt wait till xmas all this prep for the holidays i craving turkey so i stopped at cafe and got turkey dinner to go.....YUM!

Dinner
 

I am having pepperoni pizza with olives, onions, and lots of jalapenos. Red wine or drink.

tonight's dinner was a collaboration:

I made: Fried cauliflower (used a seasoned wet batter)

and it was a accompanied by a sandwich that had

field roasted sun dried tomato slices (which is a vegan deli slice), sauteed onions, peppers, and black olives, with a spicy vegan mayo, vegan cheese on a sourdough bread heated through in a panini press

the combo tasted like an Italian Sub

was very good...I ate to much and feel like a log now...but well worth it

Pollo asada, Spanish rice, and black beans. Hit the spot.

A frozen bean and cheese burrito.

Tonight I poached fish in butter, olive oil, fresh chopped herbs and a lite dash of minced garlic till it was good and flakey. A pot of string beans I had in the freezer that had new potatoes and sweet onions in the freezer bag with them. A serving of sliced tomatoes dashed with basil red wine vinegar and a touch of salt with pepper. Far more than I need to eat but to good to pass up.

Roasted sriracha wings with pineapple rice and mixed veggies.

Dinner
 

Fresh poached salmon and lots of steamed spinach. Ice tea to drink.

scrambled eggs, toast, apply jelly, chocolate milk

We are going out to dinner after Christmas Eve services.

Going to have xmas dinner with groups of immigrants at the local community centre. Can't think of a better way to show gratitude for what we have and to share the bounty of our fortunate Canadian situation with newcomers.It's for them but mostly it's a joyous experience for me.. My parents and I came here in much the same way...as refugees...and i've never forgotten it.

When picking up the turkey from Whole Foods for dinner tomorrow, I also got a roasted chicken breast that had a spicy, crispy skin; roasted Brussels sprouts and roasted cauliflower.

I also got some of their delicious, whole berry cranberry sauce.

I just ate my dinner for lunch because I was hungry.

Dinner will be soup I think, because I am full!

Update:

I just noticed that somehow I splattered cranberry sauce all over my white blouse when I took the plastic lid off.

Brother.

Time to take it off and scrub it.
