I don't know yet. Just cut up a whole tenderloin into steaks.......DH will probably have a piece of steak later this afternoon. As for me, I might make some spaetzles and put some in chicken soup that I made the other day. That's what I'm feeling right now. :-))))

Leftovers :-) Was invited for dinner last night at my niece's. She received an InstaPot for Christmas but has been out of town so last night was the first initiation. She made chicken tortilla soup and it was wonderful!! Since she is heading out of town again (quite the little jetsetter, lol!), the leftovers were divided between myself and my sister.

And I made meatloaf earlier this week, so a meatloaf sandwich is very likely in the cards as well. Haven't decided which will be for dinner or lunch....depends on how hungry I might be :-)

Sounds like comfort food is on the menu for some of us today. The weather is definitely right for that.

Awwww, that's nice Fun2BHere. A small thing to you but meant a lot to him. It's amazing how those simple gestures can make another human being feel good.

I am having Nokedli a dumpling made from soft dough with beef stew over top and a cabbage slaw using nappa cabbage and radishes.

Fun2BHere - any chance you would mind sharing the GF ginger spice cookie recipe? My son's fiance is Celiac and the other son's partner is gluten intolerant and I'm always looking for tried and true dessert/cookie recipes.

Thanks

Eating a chicken soft taco for my "breakfast" right now. Later will have something from the freezer for lunch at work. Haven't decided what.

I am running late with lunch... and am having a nice salad with avocado, tomato, cheese and sunflowerseeds in it.

Red beans and rice with Polish sausage and a salad, probably.

Moni, you've made me think of something with regard to your salad. I love salad and eat it almost every day during the warm months, but I find I don't have much of a desire for salad during the winter especially on stormy days.

This question is for all of you: I know that most people gravitate towards soup and heavier foods during the winter, but do you find that the weather determines whether or not you choose to eat salad?

Not so much........for me, it is much more a craving for fresh veggies. Winter comfort food - soups, stews, casseroles - are IMO lacking in the fresh veg department, even vegetable soups, as once well cooked, they lose a lot of their taste and texture. And fresh raw veggies in a salad just call out to me :-) I usually have one several times a week in winter, often as a side. In summer, they expand to become the whole meal !

Mexican Train at my place, today. Friend brought me chili from Hamburger Heaven.

I've got the cold crud that's going around so my taste buds are dead. Unlike most people just the thought of soup makes me gag when I am sick although I like it the rest of the time.

So I fried up 3 thick cut slices of bacon put them between two slices of toast and had me a good old fashioned no frills bacon sandwich. Don't know what I will have later but it will have to be spicy and have texture one can bite into.

I eat salads year round. I'm trying to lose a couple of pounds. I've eaten half a yogurt & a can of tuna for my BIG meal. :0)

A small amount of "fake crab" and a drizzle of hollandaise. Leftover from where I made my mom brunch. No way I'm wasting delicious fish, which is nutritious and low calorie. I'm likely not to make it to the end of the sauce though ;) better than plain fish

I'm sitting and waiting for my to go order at a local Mexican place now. Beef taco salad no lettuce. Side of grilled poblanos and onions to mix in instead of the lettuce.And an order of pico de gallo to put on top.I throw away the shell to make it low carb. The little kitties at work like it.

I baked a 10 pound turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy & canned cranberries. For once I have something to add to this thread. But I forgot to cook the vegetable-oh well.

I eat salads when I feel like them. Year round. However I never eat them as means to lose weight. I need my meat protein too much. I am always bemused by the extremely obese women who are in groups I often dine with. There they are wondering why they aren't losing weight when they have a huge salad with a scoop of some mayonnaise saturated scoop of seafood product. Add the avocado the bacon bits, the egg, the cheese and the vat of dressing (on the side) and you have 2 or more days of my personal calorie count in those salads. Some have even commented that they wish they weren't dieting while noting my French Dip I am digging into which is often the healthiest low cal thing on restaurant menus.

I really miss the days when you could go into almost any diner and order the fruit salad. Huge assortment of fresh fruit sometimes served in a pineapple "bowl" with your choice of cottage cheese or sherbet. For some odd reason they would sometimes come with an additional chunk of Jello. Often they would embellish all that fresh fruit goodness with canned peaches or pears. Go figure. Pure 50s/60s/70s nostalgia.

Ooo. Cottage cheese and fruit. That sounds awesome! Got a craving now

I wasn't very hungry at lunch time so only ate a part of it. I reheated the rest for my supper, and added a Wasa breadcrisp topped with egg salad. I'd love to have a salad right now, but don't have the makings.

Ava, my mother used to make Nokedli with her chicken paprikash. It was so good!

Making a big pot of Portuguese kale soup. We'll have some tonight and put the rest in the freezer for easy, quick meals.

Blfenton, usually I make my normal cookie recipes and just substitute Cup4Cup gluten-free flour for standard flour and ensure that any other ingredients are a GF version. However, I had a box mix (who knows how it came to be there) in the pantry that was getting close to the expiry date, so I made those instead. I can recommend the mix as the resulting cookies are tasty.

Patti, the Nokedli are easy to make....if you haven't tried. The hardest part for me was getting the dough into the boiling water until I found a way that works well for me. I place a heap of dough on a small cutting board and simply cut and slide the dough with a wooden knife. Must make paprikash next week...chicken, tomatoes and sour cream is a favorite dish of mine.

I had a meeting and just got home, thinking "what shall I eat? Perhaps that left over tuna hot dish" but saw a plate on my counter with turkey, potatoes, green beans and dressing! A friend had stopped in with it. Needless to say, the tuna hot dish didn't have a chance!

I fixed a pot roast with potatoes, carrots, onion and celery.

@Fun2BHere - I'll see if I can find that mix. Thanks.

Ava, chicken paprikash with Nokedli is something that my sister introduced me to, and is one of my favorite meals! She has a special device for getting the Nokedli into the water, which is like a pan with holes in it that allows the dough to "drip" through as its stirred around with a wooden spoon. I haven't been fortunate enough to find this device myself, so I use a vegetable steamer pot in a similar way. I've also used a colander although the Nokedli are smaller than those my sister makes, but tasty nevertheless!

Mmmmmm, pot roast sounds wonderful. I was saying to hubby earlier that it's been a long time since we've made one and that we should do just that in the next week or two.

It's so cold and wet here that I've been feeling chilled and hungry all day. I'm thawing out some mung bean and ham soup that was in the freezer and ditching the salad that I'd planned on having. Maybe tomorrow will be a salad kind of a day. ;-)

Stacey, mine are probably larger and primitive looking, but oh, so good.
