I made a pasta dish with spinach, ricotta, shallots, hazelnuts, Parmesan and lemon. It was good!

Nothing yet. I heated up some barbecue and made myself a sandwich, and I had 2 pieces of cranberry pistachio bread, toasted, for breakfast, but I haven't decided on supper yet. Something quick from the freezer, most likely, and a salad

Taco salads, hard taco shells broken up, taco seasoned meat (ground chuck) lettuce, tomato, onion, shredded mild chedder, and taco sauce. I served rainbow (lemon, lime, orange) sherbet in halved orange shells (orange sections removed) with a very thin crispy ginger cookie for after dinner dessert. The boys love this dessert and I like how its so easy and light...well lighter than cake or pie. Lol. Perfect dessert after tacos.

While at the dinner table I ask what everyone wanted for tomorrow's dinner...Taco salad again. I planned to freeze the leftover meat for another day but they want it tomorrow. Works for me.

Macaroni and cheese with hot peppers in it, roasted veggies in olive oil and spices and leftover marinated tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Plenty left for tomorrow.

Didn’t cook, but I mixed up all of the ingredients for a batch of Kimchi. It is in the crock, weighted down, and ready to ferment!

SO snuck out without letting me make him breakfast. But for dinner, I made him my chest pain chicken with rice,and left it in the microwave for him when he got home. I made myself chicken stir fry, with brocolli, bell peppers, onions, and cauliflower rice to take to work with me tonight. I also made him a batch of chocolate chip cookies. When i called to let him know i made it to work, he had made it home, eaten all the chicken and rice and 4 cookies. I am staring at my bowl of chicken and veggies with low-carb contempt.......

Aw, Amy, I feel for you. I don't think I could cook different meals when I'm low carb. It's difficult with the cravings! DH will eat what I eat or fend for himself.

Rao's Marinara over Barilla whole grain pasta, not sure if that's considered cooking - I think its called "warming" up dinner.

Yum, I love Rao's. It's expensive but worth it! I love when I find a sale.

Chi, i try to make it easier on myself by making the same protein and veggie for both of us, and making potatoes or rice or rolls for him, but that just doesn't work out all the time,especially when i am working. Breakfast is always different for us. He always gets either biscuits or pancakes or waffles with his, while i can only eat eggs and meat. But Im used to it now. I need to eat this way, my weight had gotten out of control. He doesn't, as he is probably about 20 pounds underweight. The wretch....

My husband is slender too despite eating whatever he likes in very large quantities. It's unfair!

I had a quick meal which was a toasted tomato sandwich with lots of salad dressing and a tall glass of milk. The tomatoes were good for being store bought but hard to beat home grown! I love a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich but reserve that for when eating out as I don't buy bacon any more.

Yesterday my DH smoked 2 slabs of ribs (one baby back, one spare rib), I made smoked Gouda grits and my grandmother's coleslaw and we had company for dinner. Dessert was a strawberry pavlova roll. Tonight is fairly simple -- DH will grill some hamburgers and I'm making a small amount of potato salad. No dessert left (sigh) but I did make lemon blueberry lavender muffins for our chamber coffee tomorrow and some apple dill tuna salad for lunch tomorrow (it works better if it's made the day before).

Today: Chicken thighs and rice in the crockpot. Then a yellow sheet cake with a layer of chocolate on the bottom and chocolate icing on the top.

I wrote about my veggies and spaghetti sauce on another post.

My neighbor stopped me last night as dh and I were walking back from the mail box. His sister had given him a whole bunch of tomatoes from her garden so he shared them. I made taco salad for lunch. I kept mine relatively healthy. I didn't eat the chips or add sour creme. Just a tablespoon of cheese and lots of lettuce and tomato. The meat and tomatoes kind of made their own sauce. The tomatoes put it over the top.

I poached some eggs for brunch and baked banana bread.

Leftover pizza, out to a friend's tomorrow night. Trying really hard not to cook in the heat!

Terilyn, I know what you mean. Often in the summer I can go weeks without cooking indoors. I'll use the grill and even put a crock pot or electric roaster out back to cook rather than add more heat indoors.

Tonight I ate alone, family went to bible study. So I sauteed a big salmon steak, had peas with it. Then heated a Stouffers fettuccine to go with it all. Am stuffed! The lemon cream pie will have to wait till later. LOL

For this week I have 6 of my nephews and nieces at my house. Man oh man have we been going through food. My oldest nephew is 13 and by himself he could eat me out of house and home. Tonight I made 3 pans of chicken enchiladas, mexican rice, chips, salsa and watermelon. Tomorrow we are having beef and noodles with bread and more watermelon. I figured the watermelon was the best deal on feeding the kids fruit.

DH made our version of frikadellar a Danish meatball. Ground chicken based instead of pork. Of course I had it on heavy dark rye bread. Since I can't eat any other condiments I used salsa as my mayonnaise. :-). . My Danish relatives would cringe if they saw my me do that. It was delicious though.

Six is a lot to feed when you're only used to one or two. Your meals sound perfect for the little ones though.

I didn't....made a vegetarian stew with chick peas and sweet potatoes the other day in the crockpot so tonight was 'planned overs'.

We got a batch of vegetables from the CSA my wife signed up for, including four small leeks. I was at a loss to come up with what to make so after a google search for "chicken and leeks" I made the following recipe:

https://iowagirleats.com/2015/01/12/leek-and-mushroom-chicken-skillet/

I made steamed broccoli as the side rather than asparagus, but It was simply delicious. On the plus side, there still are two of the leeks left so I may make the exact same dish again tonight. On the down side, the CSA people said that "it wasn't working out for them", and that last night was going to be the last delivery, and they refunded the remainder of the money. :-(

Sorry to hear that Bob although the recipe sounds delicious! Will you try another service?

We keep making blazing hot cheese quesadillas. Cheddar cheese, a mix of white cheeses, chives, Thai Dragon peppers. Any time we want snack or small meal. We started out with jalapenos, but the Thai Dragon are far better. If we want to zhuzh it up, chicken that's been marinated in a fajita tasting marinade and grilled. So good!
