Supper, tonight, was a bowl of homemade chicken soup with toast (buttered Seattle sour dough).

I'm thinking... pasta with cannellini beans, spinach, roasted tomato, garlic, onion, some lemon zest, a little olive oil and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

Most likely a salad of some sort, sonny boy wont be home so I don't have to cook.

Going out with the family for Mexican food after my niece's dance recital :) can't wait to see her dance.

I should make the shrimp and scallops I bought the other day, but I really just want to run to the store for cheese popcorn. :/

I made fresh brussel sprouts, red pepper, garlic, squash, zucchini, and baby portobello mushrooms with white rice.

Last night I had roasted pork shoulder in spicy ginger sauce over quinoa and wild rice with a small green salad. Will have leftovers tonight.

Hummus, pita, naan, tomato basil cheese, sweet basil and veggie cheese and grapes.

I'm stuffed.

Grilled salmon, garlic mashed potatos, grilled asparagus and calamari was my appetizer. Peach bellini and a tea for drinks.

Finally pan fried up some scallops and shrimp in a curry sauce (not homemade curry, from a jar but was quite good!)

Side caesar salad

Turned out great!

Home made cheese pizzas!

Tonight. Turkey and dumplings from scratch. Light salad with a greek feel fresh shredded
parm cheese fresh bread I made today with a light brushing
of olive oil and seasoning.

- ham sandwich on oatmeal bread
- cream of tomato soup
- a double handful of fresh cherries for dessert

I'm making lentil soup/stew for dinner.

I had some celery to use up so I sauteed it in olive oil with fresh garlic and fresh thyme. Meanwhile, I simmered my lentils with onion soup mix. I'm gonna add the veggies to the mix and also a handful of spinach right before it's finished. And a can of carrots just because I have tons of it to use up and it adds color.

I added cumin and ground coriander as well as a literal pinch of sea salt. Sprinkle of parm/cheddar cheese to make it pretty :)

homemade beef vegetable soup
Saltines
Mineral water to drink

This was the first time I have cooked for real in a while. My mom lost her appetite from chemo so she has had a lot of boost smoothies and puddings -- whatever she would eat. In fact, even the smell of food cooking bothered her, so I haven't cooked even for myself much. I have eaten takeout and rotisserie chicken from the store and such like. But today she felt like eating. Wahooo.

The soup was OK, but she liked it. I used what I had because I hadn't been buying much. So it was chock full of parsnips and carrots and potatoes and one sweet potato. The meat was from the freezer. I wish I had had some frozen home made broth to give it depth. But home cooked food with fresh vegetables was appreciated.

I made bunless hamburgers topped with balsamic sauteed mushrooms and melted swiss. On the side - quinoa salad made with black beans, halved cherry tomatoes, and green onions in a lime/olive oil/cumin dressing.

Spaghetti w/meat sauce, and a green salad. Iced tea.

a lot ... don't know what it will be yet but a whole lot! :)

Chicken/beef fajitas with the fixings and sweet tea to drink.

Chicken club sandwich with colby jack cheese, waffle fries and sweet tea

my tummy just reminded me that I skipped dinner with all the hoopla of the day...

I had sweet tea and prolly a third of an ice cream cone from McD's. (I shared the part of it with two dogs that were waiting in the car next to me...with water and adequately opened windows...

The rest I brought home for Jacques..

I suppose I could have a lil something before bed....

I had a gyro for dinner. I couldn't resist. :)

I am wondering why Gemme was putting my spaghetti in her head. :blink: Spaghetti is for eating, not for head stuffing.

I threw together a gorgeous stir fry. Literally.

I had taken out chicken and didn't know how I wanted to cook it. Then I remembered the sugar snap peas I got at the farm stand.

I cut up some celery and red pepper I also got there, de-stringed the snap peas and sauteed said veggies in olive oil and a tiny bit of sesame oil. Added minced garlic and some "Asian" spice (garlic and ginger) along with some crushed red pepper flakes.

Cubed the chicken breast and added it to the wok...let the flavors mingle and marry...added some fresh basil to get jiggy with it...(should've added some Thai basil but I dropped the ball there)

It all cooked yummily and we all lived happily ever after.

The end :)

PS: A good wok is the best thing you could ever gift yourself...

- spaghetti with meat sauce (the Idea must be going around)
- butter beans
- yellow squash casserole
