Better health wishes for all of you that just don't feel so good. All of these menus sound so good. I really need to check out some of my cookbooks for something different. Cooking for 2 becomes a challenge sometimes. I'm a little like my mother in that respect. Seems as if even tho' just 2, I still cook as if for a family! Way too many leftovers. Then it's freeze and eat later, if I don't forget, or eat leftovers for a few times.
It is warmer today for the first time in weeks but I still think that I will turn the oven on and bake some pork shops with a sauce/glaze. baby carrots and peas mixed, baked potatoes, and pecan pie for dessert. Nothing really outstanding, but that should do it. Oh, have to have our sweet tea! And crescent rolls w/lots of butter, real butter.
Wishing everyone a pleasant day.
Not outstanding? I beg to differ-if I was closer I'd be knocking on your down with silverware in hand.
It is difficult cooking for 2 as I tend to bulk cook srill-so leftovers, freeze some.
nik excellent save on dinner and frugal ways to stretch meat!
Lacey it is hard for me to cook smaller portions as well that is why we end up with leftovers piling up in the fridge. Then having a clean out the fridge night plus my lunches and after school eating from them.
I'm feeling like diner food lately. Last night was macaroni and cheese, ham, and roasted brussels sprouts with garlic.
Tonight is meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and corn.
Well I figured it out. We are having taco casserole. It's kinda like a taco salad but with chips instead of a shell. Hopefully it will be good. Don't really know why it wouldn't, cheese, beans meat. Yum!
We are all a bunch of sick lazy bones today.... cartoons are a wonderful form of entertainment.... and the sofa seems to be my best friend.... And my crockpot is a life saver..... I think Diva might have Strep so the soup might do her good tonight (if she eats it). I made enough for two days...so I am hoping it goes over well.... fingers crossed.
I bought calamari steaks yesterday but not sure what I'm going to do yet beside just breading and broiling. I love them sliced, breaded and fried served with sweet and sour sauce as an appetizer but I don't think that would go over real big for dinner
Sorry to the foodies who are under the weather. I have to make this quick, and dash to the market. Tonight will be a spiced (cayenne style)chicken breast grilled. Tzatziki sauce for dipping. Baked zucchini rounds sprinkled with parmesan chs and italian bread crumbs. Garlic smashed potatos Trying to stay some what healthy. I have been unfaithful to my diet and treadmill. Time to face the music. The fat lady is singing la la la la la
