I am making Navy bean soup

Leftover turkey from last week with sliced hard cooked eggs on a lettuce salad. Of course some sprinkled cheese, almond slices and raisins finish it off. Chardonnay to wash it down.

Bacon, eggs, hash browns and brown gravy, toast.

homemade split pea soup made with the Christmas ham bone. Yum! and so nice with the freezing rain outside....

I've got a couple of Rock Cornish chickens twirlling on the Showtime. One is coated with ghee and herbs/spices and the other has a spicy apricot sauce. Both have their insides stuffed with sliced lemons and oranges.

I'm baking an acorn squash, cut in half with a dollop of butter in the cavity, and sauteed haricot verts with mushrooms.

I have a quick soup simmering on the stove. Italian sausage n veggies....smells good!

Yesterday I peeled/diced/boiled/riced 5# of potatoes and made an Italian shepherds pie....enough for 3 meals for the 2 of us. Then I purchased a pound cake, sliced it, put blueberries on top with whipped cream. Yum!

Leftover Taco-Rice skillet for me. It is a mixture of rice, tomatoes, onion, and ground beef, served on a bed of lettuce with shredded cheese and sour cream on top. I consider it pretty much a full balanced meal. Tomorrow I will "eat fancy." Our dining room is serving "surf and turf" with the surf being shrimp and the turf a filet.

Well, my younger son's favorite meal is mashed potatoes, a vegetable and meatloaf. We had that simple meal on the 26th with planned leftovers. I love cold meatloaf sandwiches, so I had one for brunch today. Has to be on squishy bread and with lots of ketchup.

I successfully made chicken & dumplings last evening. My last two attempts resulted in chicken & "bricks," so I was happy to redeem myself :)

I made samon patties and fried potatoes. I must say they were tasty. A nice bowl of fruit and cottage cheese and we were done!!

Every Wednesday we go to a bar for supper. Last night there were 7 of us and I had a Cuban sandwich, french fries and a red beer.
