Using what's left of a roast chicken to make chicken and dumplings. It's cool and rainy here.

I went to a local meat and 3 place on my way home from the grocery store. I got hamburger steak, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. I got SO a fried chicken breast with creamed corn,purple hull peas,

mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and cornbread dressing.

It was okay but I do get irritated when I pay for food and have to reseason it before i eat it. Everything needed salt. But once I seasoned it it was good and plenty for leftovers later tonight.

Ham balls, roasted potatoes and spinach salad.

Disappointment. Well, sort of. I braised short ribs for hours today, in a Korean short rib mixture, in the crockpot. With more than a pound of short ribs, fat, and bones, by the time all was said and done, only 6 oz of meat. I had it over a third a cup of rice, to control the carbs. By midday, I was sick of the smell. A third of a cup of cooked rice, is only 66 calories, I sure wanted a lot more. It all tasted good, but it took so long and I really wanted a lot more rice (which I really don't need. So good, but dang I hate trying to be healthy). Eating healthy is hard and takes a lot of dishes!

I will have pan fried salmon, steamed potatoes, steamed broccoli, and a mixed spring greens salad with grapes and walnuts. Pears for dessert ( meant to make a pear tart with franginpan, but got lazy.)

I made spaghetti. Every Thursday my daughter and 2 year old grandson come to my house for supper. She is eating gluten free so I put sausage pieces in the sauce and cooked gluten free pasta for her.

Canadian bacon & broccoli quiche. Key lime cheesecake for dessert. (leftovers)

It's afternoon here, but yesterday I made chicken thighs with berbere spice, to give them an Ethiopian flavor, and I made a vegetable rice to go with them.

Still too early here as well but dinner will be leftovers from yesterday - braised short ribs, polenta and sauteed green beans.

pork chop salad butter peas

A Yummus Bowl salad from Clean Juice.

A frozen pizza. But it was California Kitchen. We like the Marguerite..

DH usually likes to make dinner, but today he texted me at 4 to ask if I would take care of it. I was near the store so I popped in for inspiration. I was planning to try a new salmon marinade so bought miso paste, but then I saw lo mein near it, and then saw the salmon was pricy, so I remembered that we had shrimp in the freezer and plenty of vegetables in the fridge, so I made a stir-fry. DH doesn’t usually do stir-fry, he does curries, so it was a nice change of pace, especially with the lo mein instead of rice.

I forgot about the time difference for all you West coasters! Haven't had salmon in a while but it sounds good. Have a student who doesn't like fish, the S. Korean kid so probably won't have any for a while.

I did a sheet pan with chicken and vegetables seasoned with olive oil and dried ranch mix. I visit a farmer's stand and all my veggies came from there..potatoes, green and red peppers, red onions.

It's not yet 6:00 p.m. here so we haven't had dinner yet. But we will be having pizza. Hubs has the Big Green Egg heating up as I type.

Homemade Beef stroganoff Salad and fruit..

I had pasta salad, ate it out of the container. Also a tuna salad sandwich, not in a container.

Bought fixings to make chili one day next week.

A country style rib and an ear of corn.

I had leftovers. Some rotisserie chicken and rice with rotel tomatoes and sour cream.

Had to make a trip to the city-so we had Chinese food!! and lots left for tomorrow.

Chicken with lemon honey sauce, brown rice and a salad. A small amount of chocolate for dessert.

i made a batch of grands for tonight and tomorrow

Grilled salmon, little yellow potatoes, corn on the cob, tomatoes.

Roy had pork ribs and beef sausage with sauerkraut and a salad of homegrown tomatoes and store bought cucumbers.

I had some wild caught shrimp cooked with homegrown red bell peppers, onion, garlic and shishito peppers and garlic cooked with some white wine. It turned out well.

I also had cucumbers and tomatoes.

Roy had cookies for desert.

I had fried battered chicken tenders BP & some okra.

Nothing yet, but my mate is making a big salad and some corn on the cob. We have some roast to rewarm, too.

Seafood linguini is queued up in Uber Eats, mussels as an appetizer, chopped salad, Sacher torte for dessert. Feels light on vegetables, will see if I can add something green.

Last night was more interesting - chickpea ravioli filled with smoked gouda and poblano pepper, tossed with a little butter/olive oil mix and some parmesan. Pretty tasty! Plus an apple and some grapes. Got the ravioli at Aldi.

Today is leftover homemade multi- bean & vegetable soup, stock made from beef bone. I may make some cornbread to go with - haven't had any in ages.

Still have a tiny bit of leftovers from last night but I made some chili mac for tonight with sauteed snow peas and onions. I wanted chicken soft tacos but Wal-mart didn't have any roasted chickens for home delivery. I'll have to run to Kroger tomorrow and pick one up. I also ordered tortilla chips, the scoops with guacamole but no scoops available.

Cajun scallops alfredo. It was my only meal of the day.... because of the calories. Sure was delicious with all that cream and parmesan.

Breakfast for dinner tonight - waffles with bacon and egg. It was yummy!

today i fixed a small pork loin in the CI staub ... used my leftover pillsbury grands for the pulled pork ...

I cooked a quick meal for 2: Broiled salmon + steamed eggplant tossed with olive oil, old bay seasoning, soy sauce, served with white rice-quinoa.

Big Italian Salad according to this recipe. I add sautéed mushrooms and croutons.

Anna, that salad looks really good! We're having chicken soft tacos tonight, made with rotisserie chicken from Kroger. Very few unripe cherry tomatoes from the garden right now and no big ones so I had to go buy some cherry tomatoes from Kroger. I really hate store bought tomatoes but these are passable.

Thin-ish ribeye steaks, grilled grilled, served on toasted baguette rubbed with garlic butter. Caesar salad, crudités, macerated grapes for dessert.

Made "my" version of Zuppa Toscana soup. I don't do kale, but I put a bag of baby spinach in,

It was great!
