To nights menu was a roast with carrots,mashed potatoes and gravy,french bread then some peach cobbler.

chicken quarter, herb pasta, and corn

Browned off Tennessee Pride mild sausage... added chopped yellow squash, cooked till tender then topped it with shredded mozzarella ...placed whole skillet in oven to finish cooking. Yummmm...I don't usually like sausage but this was just right and no additional spices needed.

And today I precooked dinner for the next two days since I'll be driving to Charlotte for appointments, and won't feel like doing ANY chores after getting home....so I slow cooked a huge pork roast in my special secret BBQ sauce... the roast was so large I had to split it between two crocks...and will be sharing with my neighbor and roommate's parents.

The kitchen smells very yummy.

I have been with a friendly neighborhood stomach virus for days so I am on the BRAT diet.
Tonight it is rice with salt pepper and a smidge of butter & for dessert chunky apple sauce.
To drink, 7-UP flat
I gotta tell you it is WAAAY better than the nothing I have had for the previous 3 days

crock pot roast beef and potatoes

Last night...

I made my long awaited turkey Alfredo...

I kinda just threw it together...which seems to work better for me than planning...to be honest...

I sauteed some green onions and garlic in basil olive oil (which will always be a staple in my kitchen from here on out!) a sprinkle of dried herb mix, and fresh sliced mushrooms and then added the de-boned turkey to simmer in the flavors...boiled my pasta meanwhile ( I used a nice veggie pasta by Barilla...a friend who doesn't love veggies gave it to me to try lol ) threw the (jarred :() Alfredo sauce in with the turkey mess and then added 2 handfuls of cleaned, fresh spinach...drain pasta and toss your way to a happy tummy :)

A sprinkle of garlic salt and some crushed red pepper finished it off nicely...but it would've been gooder to have some fresh parmesan to sprinkle...

Note: I once asked an Italian man what was a good jarred Alfredo sauce and he said, "there isn't one". I have tried many, and he is correct. I need to learn to make my own...it's the only way to get that truly wonderful flavor. Alfredo is probably the only white sauce I even like...I'm just not much for sauces and gravy. I know...merde! I am tres French but...I never did say I was right :D

I have a cheesy tuna casserole in the oven, and we'll have steamed broccoli on the side.

I wasn't really hungry because I have been juicing today. Of course now that it is 9:00 at night I am hungry, so I am grilling some turkey kielbasa and will have that with green beans and a sliced tomato.

Turkey tacos and Mexican rice cooked by one of our roommates!

grilled salmon
veggie biryani
(lightly)steamed haricot vert w/garlic & lemon

Chicken breast,green giant broccolli and cheese.....[ho ho ho] and cottage cheese.

Mom's cheese soup and a sandwich.

Going with my copy cat recipe for Chilpotle's burrito bowl: lime rice, chilpotle shredded beef, black beans, corn, guacamole, onion and tomato...oh and cheese of course

I have a huge tray of veggies in the oven roasting, so I will have some of that and a glass of watermelon juice.

*edited to add: I forgot that I had some bacon that I am going to cook to go with the veggies. Can't forget the Bacon! Lol!

Pizza from Beggars. Very good. I think it was iced tea to drink.

4 oz of salmon and 2 oz of penne...
Yes I weigh my food, lol :-D

Today I made a huge stock pot of potato soup with lots of ham chunks,big chunks of potatoes,celery,onions then seasoned just right.I had dinner rolls to go with it.Now I have three one gallon containers of it in the freezer for later.

3 pieces of leftover pizza

2 bowls of grapefruit slices
