I get so many ideas here!

As for tonight, after an entire afternoon at the laundromat (washer conked out), I picked up a pizza at my workplace's deli. It wasn't bad!

Costco still comes in #1, but it's a fair distance from me.

- chicken parmigiana
- mixed greens salad with Italian dressing

As a matter of fact, I was at said Costco on Monday, therefore, last night and tonight was pizza night, with a salad w/Ranch. Then some darned Keebler striped cookies.

Golabki Cabbage Rolls
 

Just spent the afternoon making Polish cabbage rolls ,,, they’re baking in the oven right now. Here’s the recipe I used, plus I used hemp hearts, brown rice & quinoa as my stuffing filler and chopped jalapeños. I like my Polish cabbage rolls on the spicy side.

pasta with marinara and mozzarella and provolone

For dinner tonight I had homemade chicken stew leftovers with mashed cauliflower and green beans. The stew is a little high in calories, so as the base, I decided to try a low cal alternative that I have long heard of but never tried, hence the mashed cauliflower. I love cauliflower, and several people have told me over the years that it "tastes just like" mashed potatoes.

Folks, it does NOT taste just like mashed potatoes and it doesn't have the bulk of mashed potatoes either. It was good. As I said, I love cauliflower, but it really didn't go too well with the stew. I kind of had to turn my brain off to eat it. Bad news: I made up a second portion of everything into a frozen future meal before I tasted.it. I would have chosen an alternative had I tasted it first. Live and learn.

Ahh, I'm pink again!

To me, mashed cauliflower tastes a lot like - not "just" like - mashed potatoes when you bulk it up with lots of milk and butter. This eliminates the benefit of being low calorie though, so I don't really bother with it; I just eat the potatoes, with a reasonable amount of milk and butter.

Not sure what I'm having for dinner yet, but it's going to involve mashed potatoes, because now they're on my mind.

Made up a big stockpot of chili, with several portions for the week, and garlic toast.

Dinner
 

Bacon wrapped top surloin steak with paresienne potatoes and steamed green beans.

Stone Butch,
May I ask, what are paresienne potatoes?
Smooches,
Keri

- baked chicken
- broccoli, rice and cheese casserole
- turnip greens and roots
- cornbread

I had round steak strips on wheat bread spread with low cal mayo, topped with avocado slices. It was yummy. I break my fast so late in the day that it feels like dinner. So I usually have two dinner-like meals. my second dinner tonight was a Banquet sweet and sour chicken dinner, which is really flavorful. My last meal is usually breakfast food. My milk soured way before the expiration date, so tonight I had three dinner meals. I had a whole can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, which only has 150 calories, with Saltine crackers and a fudgsicle. I love to have something sweet to end the day. Since I couldn't have frosted flakes, the fudgsicle filled in nicely.:cheer:
Smooches,

Misspelled parisienne potatoes by one letter.... sorry. I cheat when I make mine (just as tasty in less time) Tiny potatoes, parboiled placed in olive oil pan using spices you prefer. To me is is paprika, parsley, onion powder, salt and pepper. I fry them on one side and flip and respice while adding my steak to the middle of the pan. 15 fry min . first time, steak time about 5 to 10 min on each side (med. rare and crisps up the bacon).
