So excited my variety of food choices is expanding. Tonight will be chicken salad with a small dab of smashed avocado and some carrots. I will enjoy all tablespoon full of foods!

Toasted Italian sub with a salad on top and a side of Cheetos puffs I think and perhaps sweet tea or I will order pizza at this little joint I found up here and soda

Dinner
 

I am making picadillo for tacos. (Spanish style hamburger meat). Yummy!

fish tacos ~ topped with a spicey garlic, parsley,capers pesto

Egg, warm Moroccan spices, lentil, brown rice, leafy greens all stir fried into a spectacular yummy pile of food.

Got a Christmas gift of 80% dark chocolate and some tangerines. Had with a cup of tea while listening to a lecture on astronomy and trying to learn to crochet.

Fuck, I love having actual time. <3

Being today wasn't a stellar day for my back issues I did manage to get a roast in the slow cooker with carrots and potatoes and about 20 minutes before it was done I added two small ears of corn to steam. Then I took s muscle relaxer then went to bed, one heck of a time for my back to go on a bender

3 chicken strips, a piece of Texas Toast, French Fries and a sweet tea to drink.

I had alfredo chicken, spinach & tomato pizza with mushrooms, pineapple and onions added to it.

Pizza won last night so I had the Italian sub tonight, salad and lay's chips now I am thinking about a root beer float

Dinner
 

Smoked baby back ribs, cole slaw, and potato salad. Raspberry tea to drink.

Stuffed shells with homemade sauce, garlic bread, and Greek salad. Pinot noir to drink.

So many delicious things the family made me a special plate. Love them.

Fire grilled salmon, mixed veggies, rice pilaf with a sweet tea to drink.

Green salad with lemon juice, tomato spinach and vegetables pasta style sauce, home made, put on mung bean thread noodles.
Desert was baked rubarb and coconut sugar sprinkled on top.

Tomorrow, Xmas dinner is baked ham, roasted yams, green salad.

:) I love ham. I get meat so very rarely, it's a real treat.

On tonight's menu . . . .
 

– Chicken Baked in Milk (a new recipe I'm anxious to try that Jesse mentioned in a posting—thanks, Jesse!)

– Something in a bag called Artisan Dressing (I ain't expectin' much)

– Steamed Kale with a squirt of lemon juice

– Roasted Yams (just in case the Artisan Dressing is as lousy as I expect)

– Baked Apples as suggested by Gemme in a rep

Tonight or late afternoon I'm having a honey glazed spiral cut ham, slow smoked brisket, homemade mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, a big bacon Cesar salad, dinner rolls and steamed broccoli, candy yams for dessert I have apple pie, banana bread, or cupcakes and lots of ice cream

We aren't doing the traditional Christmas feast. My son and I with a few friends are going fish and sea food, there will be fried cat fish ,oysters on the half shell, blue crabs. The side dishes will be dirty rice , greens with ham hocks, candied yams a long with baked sweet potatoes, someone is bringing a surprise dish, lots of dinner rolls. I know there will be lots to take home or maybe not who knows. Deserts will be a lemon pie, apple cobbler, and home made dream puffs. New yeas resolution a bit early...I swear not to do a carb over load .
