Here is a picture that actually turned out somewhat well, but it wasn’t that tasty. These are the fish tacos I made on May 9th. The fish seemed bitter to me. I don’t know if it was the cheap frozen cod I bought, or the addition of the smoked paprika. And it wouldn’t crisp up,Continue reading “May/19/2024, Week 217”

Check out this chimichurri from February 28th! So yummy paired with many types of food, but also with eggs. SUNDAY 5-5-2024 German Butternut Sausage Soup I say German because I have a spice mix my friend in Germany sent me. It is labeled ‘pumpkin spice’ but it is definitely more savory than sweet. This recipeContinue reading “May/5/2024, Week 215”

This is a week where my mother-in-law has a lot going on with doctor appointments, etc. I am not going to have time to cook every night, so I am only planning a few meals and will cook them when I can.

This week is a non-menu week. My husband’s mother is having some major health issues and we have been helping her every day. If I am home to cook, I will borrow from the meals I didn’t get to make last week. I’m sorry to have no menu ideas, oh faithful readers. Keep coming back!

It is time for some notes about recent meals!-Lasagna Soup from March 18th. This was very good and easier than making lasagna. It was not very soupy as the noodles seem to keep soaking up the liquid without getting mushy. I will definitely make it again. The addition of Swiss chard didn’t mess it upContinue reading “Apr/7/2024, Week 211”

Since I have mentioned my dislike of risotto, I thought I should highlight this dinner. Oh my goodness, it was delicious! I like THIS risotto with chorizo and tomato from March 14th. Adding the broth about a cup at a time worked just fine. SUNDAY 3-31-2024 Nope As I have mentioned, my family keeps shrinking.Continue reading “Mar/31/2024, Week 210”

I used to think homemade pasta sauce was difficult. I thought it required removing skins, maybe seeds and then simmering for hours. Maybe that is the method for a true ‘marinara’ or some other definition, but it isn’t necessary. This sauce from February 15th used leftover garden tomatoes from the freezer, which I did removeContinue reading “Mar/24/2024, Week 209”

As you know, I made corned beef and cabbage last Sunday. I found a recipe where I could bake it all at once, in one pan, in the oven. I was worried, though, because it said to use a Dutch oven and I don’t have one. I overloaded a 9×13 pan, then put a cookieContinue reading “Mar/17/2024, Week 208”

I’ve mentioned that sometimes it is a struggle to think up a menu week after week, so I love when this happens. I thought up an idea and went and found someone else on the internet who had already done it, so I was able to use their recipe. If you like quinoa, this isContinue reading “Mar/10/2024, Week 207”

On February 19th, I set out to make cashew lettuce wraps. This became lettuce wrap salad as the store did not have any lettuce that would work, except for iceberg and I didn’t want that. For me, eating a salad is easier anyway. And hey, another unplanned vegan meal! It was really good, and surprisinglyContinue reading “Mar/3/2024, Week 206”

I love eggs. Like potatoes, they are incredibly versatile. They are a good source of protein, and cheap compared to meat. This is the egg galette from February 1st. Is that beautiful or what?

Breakfast sandwiches for dinner. Yum! I love breakfast, all types, including healthy items like multi-grain oatmeal. But of course, I love the bad stuff the most. This dinner on January 25th was a splurge and so good. I didn’t want to put the avocadoes on top of the sandwiches and make them hard to eat,Continue reading “Feb/18/2024, Week 204”

Happy Birthday to my husband! His birthday was last week so I made his favorite, Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Sometimes I do it with peaches, but this time I went traditional.
