I had jumbo shrimp, next time I will cut them up a bit.

That looks so good!

Tonight I just had a frozen entree. Tomorrow I am making chicken lasagna.

That looks delicious, Raven!

Today I made a Thai coconut curry soup. It was really yummy and had the right amount of spiciness. It was especially welcome today when we are having a snowstorm :-(.

Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and mixed vegetables.

I made Chicken Marsala with a side of broccolini tonight. Yummy.

Today was my cooking day. I made pasta with cilantro pesto. Delicious! I like mine a little more tart than recommended so I always end up adding more lemon or vinegar.

Also I made zucchini lasagna. Another favourite around here. This time I kept it very simple using hot salsa and cheddar cheese. For sides we had broccoli and gai lan. I make big portions and a lot of it goes into the freezer and containers for lunches.

I made tacos. I haven't done as much extra cooking as I would like. Have been working outside a lot and by the time I get my evening chores done, I am ready to go to bed. I keep planning to make cookies...I am out of the biscotti I have every morning...but I keep putting it off.

I bought some Costco Panko Breaded shrimp. They are "oven ready". UGH. Should have known better. They are tasty but so greasy. Tonight I tried deep frying a few to take some of that fat off. A bit better but had to be done too long to get the centers right. So I give up. I was going to toss the rest of the package. But I think I will just take the greasy breading off and trying using them use them for a stir fry. What ever happened to ready to fry frozen breaded shrimp? This is why I dislike the "air frying" thing. Frozen products are made for them instead of people who like crisp non greasy fried foods. Yes I can bread fresh, but right now it's about convenience and what is available.

FINALLY baked the Irish soda bread I should have baked on St. Patrick's Day. Will have it at breakfast tomorrow.

I have been doing less cooking. Doing other things around my home. I do want to make some bread at some point, not sure when I feel up to it.

Raven, what did you do differently in your shrimp taco recipe? Did you use yogurt or sour cream? Those look very good.

Thanks for the ideas. We have been at a loss of what to fix...nothing sounds

good it seems. Plan to fix something, then think, "no, later maybe?) etc. Been

doing too much snacking for sure.

I like Amy's Thai Sweet Potato soup but it's a bit too spicy for my taste. So I made a bag of instant wild rice (available at Target) and added that to the soup plus some leftover grocery story roast chicken bits and pieces. Topped it off with a large dab of plain yoghurt and added a toasted English muffin an had a delicious dinner.

I cooked some chicken and a head of cauliflower I needed to use up. I've been baking bread in my breadmaker so used up the rest of the french bread I had made and made it into garlic toast.

I have sweet potatoes that are starting to sprout. I may roast a couple today. Not sure what I'll make to go with it.

On Tuesday, I made chicken soup but reserved some of the cooked chicken for chicken salad and perhaps chicken a la king which I have not served in years. Last night we had hamburgers. Tonight's dinner is still up in the air.

That looks good, Raven!

I tried my hand at making tortilla shells for the first time.

DD was assigned homework for her foods class eons ago, and it was to make flour tortillas. Those were the best flour tortillas I ever had.

I used sour cream for the dressing. I used bagged salad mix that had purple Cabbage and carrots in it instead of just Cabbage. I sautéed the shrimp in butter and lemon pepper dressing from Kroger. I didn't have any cilantro. The dressing was very good I used green onions and sour cream with lemon and lime juice salt and pepper and a little Mrs dash with garlic. And a little olive oil. Oh and for Seasonings on the shrimp I just used old bay and a little garlic salt.

I will definitely make them again.
