I had half of an avocado ranch salad, 2 Halos and water. Not sure why this combination makes me happy but I'm sure I'll get tired of it eventually.

- Banana nut bread |
Dinner
Strip loin steak and creamy coleslaw. Ice tea.

I roasted some vegetables last night that I'll reheat. I forgot how much I enjoy beets. I love eating what's in season!

I always look forward to your posts! Your cooking for just yourself impresses the hell out of me and you're making solid meals not just opening up cans or deli stuff like I did when I was single.:| |
Dinner
ty moe my friend. I like to cook and I do not like things that are not fresh. I do however eat prepared foods once in a while but try to avoid them when possible.
|
Dinner
Going to have fried codfish with leftover scalloped potatoes. Ice tea.
|
Last night, I got home and ate very late....about an hour before my usual bedtime...so I had about a quarter bag of the avocado ranch salad with one grilled chicken strip torn up and thrown in the bowl. Water to drink.
Tonight, I had the remaining quarter bag of the avocado ranch salad with maybe 3 torn up grilled chicken strips, one Honeycrisp apple and water to drink. |
a cup of hot herbal tea by Tazo Passion: it's a blend of hibiscus and passion flower herbs, maybe a titch of chamomile too. It is delicious. And, two blueberry gummi drops.
I had a big lunch earlier today, Popeye's classic chicken sandwich. It was ... Coma-ville delish! :jester: |
Chicken satay. I don't know if it's always cooked on skewers but this is. I've never cooked anything on a skewer before, not that I can remember anyway. So I keep putting off dinner as the thought of making it has me feeling more than just a little bit intimidated. Anyhow I don't know what else with it because it seems it's served along with rice and J's nagging at me to stay low carb. Maybe fake cauliflower rice but to me that tastes like something even people in prison probably aren't served. I worked with people on parole, some even still in prison once and the meals. You know it's perfectly legal to serve people in prison bologna that's starting to turn green? Then they wonder why people try and escape. I 'd have to apologize profusely and really suck up to my kids so they'd put money on my books and I could live off canteen.

Pan sausage with peppers, tomatoes, shallots, asparagus.
I”m tired and it’s easy to make. |
I had such a filling breakfast I easily skipped lunch and even now I'm still not all that hungry so probably just a fresh Bartlett pear and water to drink. If later tonight I start to regret my decision then some hot buttered popcorn along with a side of Netflix. :popcorn:

Sliced filet over a spinach salad. Lots of avacado and a little corn and cheese.
Water with bubbles |
An eccentric meal - a friend hosted a small Alice In Wonderland themed late tea:
- Lemonade with purple ice balls that turned the lemonade pink as they melted, with garnish of mint leaves and edible glitter - Eggs Benedict - Assorted macaroons - coconut/saffron, rose water, and lavender - Pralines - Jello with blueberries and dried cherries soaked in brandy It was very psychedelic. |
Dinner
Pork chops, sweet potatoes, and yellow squash. Mom's favorite.
:linecook: |
Dinner
Chicken strips and potato puffs. Ice tea.

I splurged. Since school started, I have been doing fast food crap. Tonight I made steaks and jumbo shrimp. It was a very good choice and a nice step away from the fast food joints.
I also found a new website for interesting new recipes. I am looking forward to making something from there. |
- 2 granola bars
- 2 mandarin oranges - 2 macaroons |
I've always loved macaroons but never knew that not all macaroons were macarons:
"Macarons and macaroons differ in their main ingredient, which for macarons is almond meal, and macaroons is shredded coconut. ... Macarons are available in countless flavors and colors. Coconut macaroons are made from shredded coconut held together by egg whites and granulated sugar." Now I know but I still can't make them. |
Dinner...
Potatoes with lemon and dill, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.

Too much info?
"So why are macarons so difficult to make? ... French macaroons are incredibly sensitive to moisture above everything. This is why some recipes call for "ageing egg whites" as when egg whites get old they loose some moisture. Aside from a few wayward crumbs, eating a macaron should be clean. Filling shouldn't squish out of the cookie nor should it leave much residue on your teeth. ... The cookie's texture beneath the crust should be light, just a little chewy, and soft, but not so soft that it's mushy. It's okay if the cookie looks "uncooked." If your macarons don't have feet, it could be because your batter is too wet. Make sure you're using aged egg whites and avoid adding liquid flavoring and coloring. Most likely the reason for underdeveloped feet is because your macarons did not develop a skin before baking." |
Dinner
Pasta with alfredo sauce, chopped broccoli and small ring of cooked shrimp thawed. Ice tea.
Ok moe an easy one for you , you will love. I chose fettuccine as my pasta, one bottle of alfredo sauce, chopped steamed broccoli and one ring of thawed cooked shrimp. NOW you will love it and it will take you no time at all. Just boil the pasta, dump the water, heat the sauce, steam broccoli and throw the thawed shrimp in the fry pan for one minute to heat up and add. You can shake on some parm. cheese if you feel the need plus some salt and pepper. |
