I too have had bad nights sleeping, but last night I pulled out my trusty Sleep Pillow Mist, and sprayed my pillow with it. Good nights sleep as well, finally!

Loui's for their wonderful Greek baked snapper, with creamed corn. Sooooo good.

3 cheese ravioli with chicken parm and my home made sauce.

Lasagna and a piece of bread.

Glad you guys slept better last night.

I've never made fried rice of any kind. Do you mind telling me how it's made and what it's like? Always looking for new ideas.

Amber, Alyssa and I had lunch from Steak and Shake. I had the Chicago style frank. Alyssa and I shared the fries. We did not eat all of them. This evening I had cottage cheese and fruit cocktail. Too tired after a day of shopping to cook much at all. Glad you had a good night of sleep.

I picked up some potatoes today for my quiche, but DH said we had another $20.00 to go on our minimum so we went out for a bite tonight.

Shirley, Fried Rice can be anything you want it to be. Take some left over rice or cook some up early in the day. I scramble up a couple of eggs and set it aside, then saute some green onions, mushrooms and set aside, you can use left over chicken, ham pork or shrimp or a combination of these, Sometimes I add water chestnuts, add whatever you want. Then saute the rice, add a little soy sauce for color then add in all the other things you cooked up. Throw in a handful of frozen peas and stir just till they warm up and Voila.... a yummy dinner.

I actually made a nice dinner tonight--roast beef and gravy, fresh corn on the cob that DH picked up today from the farm market, and homemade mashed potatoes.

Tomorrow's dinner (wait and see) will be one of my 'planned leftover' dinners, using what we didn't eat today.

Sausage lasagna.....loaded with red bell peppers, ricotta and motzarella cheese! It's delicious! :0)

Thanks for the recipe, georgysmom. I've copied/pasted what you wrote, and will try it sometime. Sounds easy enough too.

(I want azzaleas meal)

Boiled baby red potatoes, chicken breast coated with panko and sliced sweet onion cooked in the oven.

Glenda, where can I find that magical Sleep Pillow Mist? Does it smell like lavendar? I've heard that helps your sleep.

Oooh, Yayagirl. Wish I'd been at your house tonight. Now I'm having pasta cravings :-)

Shirley, Georgysmom is right--you can throw just about anything into fried rice. I used a recipe tonight because I'd never put garlic in it before. I didn't really measure anything, but it was really good and I'll make it again.

FRIED RICE (Life as a Lofthouse)

3 cups cooked white rice (day old or leftover rice works best!)
3 tbs sesame oil
1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
1 small onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup soy sauce

On medium high heat, heat the oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the peas/carrots mix, onion and garlic. Stir fry until tender. Lower the heat to medium low and push the mixture off to one side, then pour your eggs on the other side of skillet and stir fry until scrambled. Now add the rice and soy sauce and blend all together well. Stir fry until thoroughly heated.

Georgysmom, bet I know what's on your menu tomorrow :-)

Sue, I'm never very hungry if we have lunch out--guess because I don't eat much during the day at home.

Azzalea, wow! Are you celebrating something? Your dinner sounds wonderful. My favorite leftovers for roast is open-faced beef sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy all over everything--like they used to serve in diners years ago.

Nicole, it sounds delicious. In fact, I think I have a crockpot recipe for it that I need to try.

Raven, is your family safe? I don't know where panko was all these years, but it sure is great to have around. Did you lay the chicken on top of the onions, the onions on top of the chicken, or cook them separately?

Yes thanks for asking, they are all good, just a few shingles and limbs off trees that's about it. Very lucky.

I put some coconut oil in the dish layer in the thick sliced sweet onion, then put a little coconut oil on the breast then dredged in the panko and laid them on top. I sprinkled on some Tonys seasonings.
The onions were like candy so good.

Am craving shrimp fried rice now!!! Love that stuff! We go to the Hibachi place near our house. My kids love the "show" and we all like the food cooked on the grill. My 7 year old DD also likes that they have "Shirley Temple" drinks on the menu! lol

Shirley, I forgot to mention I throw in a couple of splashes of Kitchen Bouquet, too. It gives the rice a nice brown color, and yes, it is a nice easy meal. I usually like to combine some cut up shrimp, ham and left over pork if I have it,
