I thought it was going to be a cool,rainy day so I put on a pot of chili. Not that it really bothers me because I often fix chili in the summer. lolYum. That sounds good. I was going to cook spaghetti but had a migraine headache pop up, so my husband offered to order take out and save the spaghetti for another night. How do you make your strawberry cake? My grandmother made one that was so good. I miss that and her rhubarb pie.

I make it different ways according to what I have in the pantry. My favorite way is to add a small pack of strawberry gelatin to a white cake mix, add about a cup of smashed strawberries. Then frost with strawberry buttercream frosting and then garnish with fresh strawberries. I used to make the cake from scratch but I found using a box mix is not only easier but it is also tastier.

Me too. I started cooking in my grandmother's kitchen when I was about 4 years old. ( Mostly I guess I thought I was cooking I guess). I prefer to cook and I love to cook. My mother says that my cooking reminds her of her mother's cooking and that is the ultimate compliment for me.

And another trick is to use more eggs than the recipe calls for. I used to make most of my cakes from scratch but I don't anymore. Unless it is one there isn't a mix for such as an fresh apple raisin walnut cake. I bake a lot. one of my favorite tv cooks is Ree Drummond. Do you have a favorite?

Ree kind of gets on my nerves and a lot of her stuff isn't from scratch but her show is still good and some of her food is good also.

Fresh green beans with new potatoes, fried green tomatoes, fresh creamed corn, cornbread and ripe tomatoes. My sister came and ate with us. I had baked peanut butter cookies today and had a pineapple to cut, but we ate too much dinner, so we passed on dessert. The dinner took us back to our childhood. Back when we used to have to hoe the corn and pick the beans.I probably will have the leftovers tomorrow.Love fried green tomatoes and fresh corn.

Yes, it is too hot to cook. I just bought an Instant pot, but I don't really know how to use it yet. I don't know if I will ever use it, because I am a slow cooker type. My mother always used pressure cookers and they kinda scared me. Anyway, I am thinking maybe a BLT and a fresh peach.

BLT's is one of my go to meals. Cheese and crackers are too. My kids are all out of school, so I have no more practices. I probably will go with my granddaughter once she gets started. I miss that sometimes.

They don't mess up shakes but every time I have ordered food it's been meh. First time I ordered cheese sticks and all the cheese was gone inside them cause they were cooked too long ... I don't remember what else has happened but now I associate it with bad food. So I won't ever go there anymore except for a shake.

They have Chicago dogs, which are okay.
I am kind of bored. Can't drink ... trying to save $$. Cold out. I can't really go out to eat, lol. I'd like to go have a beer or two and sit outside with my good boi dog, but I need to just be super duper disciplined for about 60 more days.
I am gonna go to store and get a nice steak I think for dinner. I am getting tired of basic chicken, pork, beef, chicken, pork, beef, chicken, pork, beef for my one meal at dinner a day. I really should look up some keto recipes. First 23 days of this wasn't so bad, but now I am like I can't wait for this to be over.

Tonight ribeye (I like that Costco has prime meat) and maybe cauliflower rice.
When that movie came out to the theaters, my kids were laughing at me in the car after the last avengers telling me fat Thor reminded them of me, lol. Those lil effers are gonna pay!!!!!! 😜
Actually people in general have no problem telling me I'm getting fat, lol. I must have the kind of face that says feel free to share your unsolicited opinion about my appearance and be brutally honest about it and don't spare my feelings, lol. It doesn't bother me, I already know when I am slacking. Still I would never tell someone that!
Post by: Jemima721 on January 29, 2020, 08:35:54 am
Left over 7 layer salad and some Costco chicken salad (they need to add some more flavor to that ... and they use the same for their shrimp salad ... it does not have a lot of flavor to it)

I would never dream of telling someone they were getting fat. They should say in a polite way, looks like you have gained a few pounds. ;D
Tonight will be something Quorn and vegetables, but not sure yet.
I never go to the gym, but a good a way to exercise and burn a few pounds is constant housework for a couple of hours, then rest and then out walking the dog. ; ) Works for me !
Have a good day.

You have a nice one too.
I have to run or watch what I eat. If I run I can eat and drink what I want. I don't need to lift weights to look like I do, tho, which is nice. So just keep fat off and I can have like a 9 or 10 body.
I come from a very meat and potatoes and beer drink culture, tho. So if I am lazy and not watching what I am eating and not running, I will put on weight. Not as fast as I can lose it but it slowly trickles back on. For me weighing myself every day is good way to keep it in mind.
My dad, my mom, my family, my buddy's gf (I am gonna be in their wedding this summer), some outlaw biker I met this summer (we partied all night together but he mentioned something g I don't remember ... I remember saying I am only 20 pounds away from looking in decent shape).
So yeah people will say stuff but when I am in shape people, including, strangers will say you must work out, or you are huge, or ask if I take steroids. My buddy's gf will ask me to flex for her ... like four or 5 of her gfs just walked up to me and one of them said "I am sorry but you are hot." So it's a two way way street. I think people are critical in part cause it's kind of a waste for me to not be in shape. I have been blessed with a nice body if I show it.
Except my mom ... I'm always either too fat or too thin, lol.

Cake recipe is super easy.
You can use either apple pie filling or cut up apples,, yellow moist cake mix and 3/4 cup of melted butter.
Preheat oven to 350, spray glass pan with cooking spray, 4 cups of apples, pour cake mix on top and pour melted butter on top. I add some cinnamon before sprinkling butter on top. Bake 45 to 50 minutes.

Steak and eggs for breakfast. With homemade buttered bread. That will do for the day. My wife is an amazing cook. Worked with a chef at a historical hotel near us,plus what she learned from her grandmother. I always never forget to thank her when she cooks for me. To me that's more intimate than sex.Yep, I always thank my husband when he cooks supper and he does the same. It is the little things that makes a marriage work.

Me too I just don't have the proper ingredients and I won't go to the store because of the virus...LOLSmoke sausage was pretty good in it but gave it more a Cajun spicy flavor. My daughter didn't care for it but she is a picky eater. Our son will love it. It has 2 of his favorite things- meat and potatoes. Lol
Coincidentally I just made PLs crockpot sausage recipe but used country style pan sausage and it was pretty darn good...

You don't make demands like that in a marriage. A marriage is a partnership not you saying that my husband will do this and that and I will do this and that. There are times that my husband cooks, and does the laundry and I don't ask him to do it on any certain days. Eating out is not something you would also do if you had a family. A meal out is very expensive with a family of four. Or even 3. We rarely eat out and both of us cook but I don't dictate what night he is going to do that or what night to do laundry. Now, we all know why you aren't married.

That came out wrong, I would not dictate, just explaining both parties must work as a team and share the chores. I choose not to get married, I've had several opportunities in the past. I like being single, it works for me, I never wanted children. The closest thing I had to a child was an Iguana.

We are grilling out today so it may be steaks or burgers.
Post by: _Blue Bird_ on May 25, 2020, 09:08:52 pm
What are grilled silver turtles? That sounds good.
They are delicious....Here’s the recipe.
To make a turtle:
Lay out a rectangle of heavy duty aluminum foil that is at least a few times larger than all of your ingredients.
Form ground meat into a patty with the center being thinner than the outside, season.
Cut same-type vegetables into slices as uniform as possible.
Cut longer cooking vegetables thinner/smaller than quicker cooking.
Place meat patty in center of foil.
Cover with vegetables, season, and add sauce, if applicable.
Bring long edges of foil together until they meet in the center. Fold foil over to create a sealed edge. Continue to fold until you have almost reached the top of the vegetables.
Neatly fold open end of foil to seal. Repeat folding several times until getting close to enclosed food.
Repeat on the other open end.
Should have a packet similar to what is in the first picture.
Place in coals (or on grill) and cook until done…checking one after about 15 minutes to see how fast your coals are cooking.
Generally it takes 20 to 25 minutes for an average size patty and packet to cook.

They are delicious....Here’s the recipe.Sounds great, sounds like one I use to do except it was with green beans, potatoes and hamburgers on top called cowboy meal. I bet there are a lot of different names.
To make a turtle:
Lay out a rectangle of heavy duty aluminum foil that is at least a few times larger than all of your ingredients.
Form ground meat into a patty with the center being thinner than the outside, season.
Cut same-type vegetables into slices as uniform as possible.
Cut longer cooking vegetables thinner/smaller than quicker cooking.
Place meat patty in center of foil.
Cover with vegetables, season, and add sauce, if applicable.
Bring long edges of foil together until they meet in the center. Fold foil over to create a sealed edge. Continue to fold until you have almost reached the top of the vegetables.
Neatly fold open end of foil to seal. Repeat folding several times until getting close to enclosed food.
Repeat on the other open end.
Should have a packet similar to what is in the first picture.
Place in coals (or on grill) and cook until done…checking one after about 15 minutes to see how fast your coals are cooking.
Generally it takes 20 to 25 minutes for an average size patty and packet to cook.
OR, you can place them in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until done.

I’m probably having left over Papa Johns pizza tonight and then tossing the remainder in the freezer for another day or possible to be forgotten and tossed at some point. 🤔
Post by: purplelady1040 on May 26, 2020, 12:25:51 pm
We’ve done silver turtles but we’ve used a variety of different meats and veggies as well as the hamburger. We use to just have a smorgasbord of stuff like steak chunks, chicken strips, smoked sausage, pork tenderloin pieces, all marinated and then have potato chunks, onions, peppers, squash, broccoli, asparagus, carrots, celery....and let everyone fix their own. After you wrap them, use permanent marker to put your name on them. It’s great with teenagers around. They tend to get creative and then they share their completed projects. LOL Throw a nice strawberry and spinach salad together and you’ve got a crowd pleaser.Sounds great. Lunch today is out with daughter at Olive Garden.

Just got some ground beef...I am going to make one tonite...Thx for the great idea....
You’re welcome! 🙂 I think you’ll like them! Btw...you can add any veggies you want... and I always spray a little Pam on the aluminum foil....helps keep the potatoes from sticking.

Its a great idea... The ground beef is thawing as we speak and my mouth is watering in anticipation....
picturing it in my mind I am going to love it.......
BTW have you ever heard of vegemite? Anyway, a teaspoon of vegemite dissolved in a beef stew makes it taste much more meatier....
Just saying
I’ve never heard of that... but will check it out! 🙂 How did your turtles turn out?

Glad you liked them! 🙂

I had leftovers from Thursday which consisted of round steak with red & green bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and lots of seasoning, leftover peas, leftover macaroni, and leftover corn on the cob. It was delicious but the remainder of steak will go in the freezer and the remainder of the veggies will be fed to the garbage disposal.Sounds good. We fed the rest of the roast we had and carrots to our dogs. They love it.

Fry up maple bacon or peppered jack bacon, any bacon will really work-remove bacon but don't drain the grease.
Grill chicken or use skillet that bacon was cooked in. If grilling brush chicken with that bacon grease.
Top chicken with bacon and then top with grated cheddar cheese and let melt. Viola, sandwiches.

WTF's a 'grit'?Grits is a porridge made from boiled cornmeal. Hominy grits are a type of grits made from hominy – corn that has been treated with an alkali in a process called nixtamalization with the pericarp removed. Grits are often served with other flavorings as a breakfast dish

Chicken breasts in crockpot. Then add 2 cans of chicken broth, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, stick of butter, pinch of salt. Cook for 6 to 7 hours on low. One hour before eating, shred chicken. It calls for frozen wide egg noodles but I couldn't find those so I added cooked noodles in for the last 45 minutes.

I don't know what a cheese stuffed sandwich is?It is hard to explain but this place has stuffed sandwiches that are awesome. They have one called 3 cheese. That is what I had. One called a stuffed Monte Cristo. It is like they take the bread and stuff the ingredients inside the bread and toast them.

We decided to go out to lunch instead. It’s too hot to cook so we went to a deli where we could get cold food. They have such a good menu it’s hard to decide. But we both chose club sandwiches.

We have an excellent Thai Restaurant here where I live but with the virus I’m not sure how they’re doing. I know they were always closed the entire month of July and part of August while they went home to Thailand. I love their food and I always got curry puffs regardless of what meal I got. Yum!
Tonight I’m having fried green tomatoes and I doubt I’ll have anything else with them.

I love, love, love fried green tomatoes and fried eggplant!!Yeah, fried green tomatoes are one of those things you either love or hate and like you, I’m quite fond of them myself. I tried freezing some green tomatoes once so I could have some in the winter but it didn’t work real well. I’m thinking I could probably fry some and freeze them but Lord have mercy, they don’t stay on that plate long enough for me to get them in the freezer. 😳

I love spaghetti too and it freezes real well. Enjoy!

Ribeye and baked potato laterThat’s my absolute favorite meal but I can never eat it all. The potato tends to fill me up so I try to just nibble on it then I end up with 2 meals. Do you eat the skin on the baked potato? When I was a child I was a very picky eater and when it came to potatoes, all I would eat were the skins. LOL I guess I’ve always been a little odd.
I’m not sure what I’m having tonight but since it’s after 7, I should probably figure it out. LOL I’ll think of something I guess. I’m not in the mood to cook.

Mustard with a side of bratwurst and some mixed veggies cooked in butter and then I melt America cheese in it (for some things you can't beat America cheese ... I prefer America cheese over cheddar in an omelette too ... it has more flavor). Glass of milk.

Hi purplelady
You mention chips a lot. As in potato chips or the English word for fries?
Just curious.
Tonight we had pork chops in the crock pot with mushrooms and mushroom soup, whatever that's called.

I was out & about this evening so I picked up a chicken sandwich on my way home. Ironically, I kept thinking I should hit up Arby’s but McDonalds was closer so that’s what happened.
Have you ever had Hot Brown or is that just a Kentucky thing? I had the best Hot Brown a couple of months ago and I’ve been craving it again ever since.

Hey Icno! Arby's is having a special right now. You can get 5 regular roast beef for $10. I don’t remember the regular price.
Hot brown. Is that a gravy? If not I’m not familiar with it.
Had smoked sausage Alfredo this evening. Not impressed but it was recommended.

OMG....Hot Brown is wonderful! No, it’s not a gravy and I’ve never attempted to make it but my Grandmother always made it after Thanksgiving when she had leftover turkey. It originated from The Brown Hotel in Louisville. It was a specialty and often served to Derby guests.
Tonight I’m just staring at the kitchen wishing something would magically appear to give me inspiration. So far no luck, so I’m thinking a salad is probably going to be my dinner of choice this evening. It’s Thursday, and I have to clear my schedule to partake in 3 hours of ABC.

The mornay sauce sounds easy enough but I’d find a way to mess it up. Then again, at least for me, nothing seems to taste as good when I make it myself. 🤨

I think half the fun of trying new dishes is making them your own. I’m on a low potassium and phosphorus diet so I have to be really creative. I’m still experimenting and very limited. Seems everything has potassium so I’m doing without a lot of my favorites.

To my knowledge I haven’t had and don’t have COVID. I was tested a while back and it was negative.

Yes, it is their roast beef but instead of their cheddar sauce it has a thicker swiss cheese sauce on a soft french bread and you dip it.
Absolutely delicious!

Well, I might just have to try it one night this week. I’ll let you know what I think. I have a coupon for the French Dip 2 for $6.00 so I’ll need to find someone else to feed. It’s not hard to find someone needing a bite to eat.

Ok Folks, I’ve got the meatloaf in the oven. I use the Paula Deen recipe. My son suggested it a while back and it is good. How bout y’all? I might skip the veggies and opt out for a salad instead.I don't have the Paula Deen meatloaf recipe but I did the Cracker Barrell recipe

Yum!!! Having BBQ tonight with baked beans and potato salad. Tomorrow night is overnight chicken casserole.I love BBQ but I never fix it. Occasionally, I’ll pick up a sandwich and bring it home but we don’t really have the good BBQ around here. When I was working in Government I had a friend who was from Owensboro. When he would go home for the weekend, he always brought back a tub of the best BBQ for me. Yummy!!
Not sure what I’m having yet tonight. If nothing comes to me, I might have sh...it on a shingle. I have some milk about to expire so I need to try and use it.
You’ll have to post your chicken casserole recipe.

When I was working in Government I had a friend who was from Owensboro. When he would go home for the weekend, he always brought back a tub of the best BBQ for me. Yummy!!That would be BBQ mutton more than likely. I love mutton and burgoo. Here's the chicken casserole recipe.
Not sure what I’m having yet tonight. If nothing comes to me, I might have sh...it on a shingle. I have some milk about to expire so I need to try and use it.
You’ll have to post your chicken casserole recipe.
3- chicken breaststroke, cooked and cut up
1 can of chicken broth
1 can of cream of celery soup and mushroom soup
1 jar of pimento
1 medium onion, cut up
1 green pepper cut up but can also red or orange.
1-7oz. Box of elbow macaroni- uncooked.
1 package of sharp cheddar cheese
After you have cooked chicken, place all ingredients with the chicken in a greased casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate.
When ready to cook. Preheat oven to 350. Crumble Ritz crackers and pat with butter. Bake for 45 minutes.
You can also add peas or other veggies in this.

I had Hot Brown curbside pickup from a wonderful local restaurant along with a salad. It was absolutely scrumptious, however I only took a few bites. My son called just as I started to enjoy it. When I told him what I was doing he said, “Man, I’d love to have some Hot Brown”. Well.....this Momma can’t resist. I told him there was plenty here for him, stopped eating, closed the container, and waited for him to show up.I love a good Hot Brown!

Germans have been eating pork and sauerkraut on New Year's for generations because they believe it brings good luck (viel glück in German). ... That's why in Ohio and Pennsylvania, which received many German immigrants in the 17th and 18th centuries, people are almost religious about this delicious duo.

I miss going out to places I use to enjoy and IHOP is one of those places. Regardless of what time you go, they’re always packed and there’s always a wait.

Tonight is spaghetti and garlic bread. I threw the remainder of the chicken & dumplings in the freezer. It seems like chicken & dumplings along with vegetable soup always tend to grow when you’re preparing them. If my son doesn’t stop by to grab it, I end up freezing left overs.

Tonight is undecided. I had a late lunch and I probably will just snack this evening. I already popped a cookie in my mouth during the KY game but that was the first half. I’m really wishing I had some popcorn or chicken wings. I should’ve planned better I suppose.

Well, I’m glad you got to enjoy it!Thanks, I made a big pot of chili and we froze what was left over. Husband said it was the best I had ever made and I think it is because I used tomato sauce instead of tomato juice.

I don’t use tomato sauce or tomato juice but I know a lot of people who do. I use canned tomatoes and a little bit of tomato paste. I also don’t use chili beans. I use kidney beans. I wasn’t privileged enough to have a mother that taught me to cook. When I first married I had to learn on my own. Chili was one of those things I just kinda figured out on my own and did my own thing. I turned out to be a decent cook after a lot of trial and error. Honestly, I’m not sure how we survived. LOL

Roast in the instantpot with mashed potatoes,gravy and steamed carrots. That is supper tonightI have a pressure cooker that I’ve used a lot but I don’t have an InstantPot. I’d like to have one but I also want an air fryer. Don’t know which I’ll get first.
Hope your dinner turns out good! I like to put my potatoes, carrots, and onions in with my roast when I fix it in the slow cooker. Can you do that in the Instant Pot as well?
Not at all sure what dinner will be tonight. I’ve been a bit under the weather so I’m sure it’ll be something simple. I don’t have much of an appetite.

When the pressure cooker went off, I added my vegetables and reset it for 2-3 minutes and they tasted just like they had when I did them in crockpot.

Have you heard of chocolate gravy? I have a friend from TN and apparently they had chocolate gravy and biscuits for breakfast quite often.
I had leftover roast, asparagus, and tomatoes for dinner. It wasn’t anything worth bragging about but I managed to choke it down.

I have a friend from TN and apparently they had chocolate gravy and biscuits for breakfast quite often.These were a Pillsbury brand with a marshmallow.frosting and if I do say so myself, pretty damn good. Yes, I have heard of chocolate gravy and had it. It is fantastic over sweet biscuits and I love grits with tomato gravy, another Southern dish.
I had leftover roast, asparagus, and tomatoes for dinner. It wasn’t anything worth bragging about but I managed to choke it down.

I’ve never eaten them and for some reason I just can’t bring myself to try them. But yes, I’ve heard of grits with tomato gravy but I’ve never had it either. I’m gonna look up tomato gravy to see how it’s made. I love tomatoes.

A leaf of lettuce in the middle of a plate, a glob of cottage cheese on it topped with some fruit cocktail in heavy syrup from a can.
And some miscellaneous cold cuts rolled up and placed around the plate.
Cheap, easy and delicious

Cold cut Blue plate special...That sounds good except that glob of cottage cheese. I had to laugh when I read this because the other day I bought some cottage cheese for the first time in years. For lunch I got it out and put a glob on a plate with some tomatoes. I took my first bite and OH MY GOD, I remembered why I hadn’t bought any in years. I do not like cottage cheese. I tried and tried to choke it down but it was awful! I know people love that stuff but Lord have mercy, that was torture for me!

I cooked for a houseful of people yesterday so I am not cooking much today. I thought I would whip up a batch of Cowboy Sloppy Joes and maybe some chips and a dill pickle. They can count themselves lucky I am fixing that much. Part of me is saying,"Pull out a loaf of bread and a pack of boloney" But, nobody here likes boloney except for me, so I guess I won't do that to them. I may make a fruit salad.Good afternoon Misty, what are Cowboy Sloppy Joe's?
Post by: Icno on February 05, 2021, 01:55:31 pm
Yes Misty, I’m with Pete. I’d like to hear more about those cowboy sloppy joes. My sloppy joes come from a Manwich can although I’m sure they would be much better and not much more difficult if they were made from scratch.

They’ve really branched out but I’m not sure how many restaurants they might have now. I honestly thought they were both from Lexington. It’s Bluegrass Hospitality Or something like that. I’ve met Mr. Drake at Malones but I’ve never met the other gentleman. I like the Turkey, Swiss, and Avocado at Drakes and of course I generally have either Rib Eye or Salmon at Malones. I’ve always said if I were ever going to be involved in a restaurant, it would be just like Malones. I’m guessing you’ve eaten there a few times yourself. I like how they’ve named a number of their dishes after U.K. Football and Basketball.

Malones has sandwiches as well but Drakes is more of a leisure type establishment. They have another restaurant as well but I can’t recall the name and I haven’t been there. They also have a sushi bar at Drakes. You’ll need to try Malones as well.

Grilled BBQ pork chops, baked beans and grilled corn on the cob.Sounds good P.L. I’m debating with myself over whether to have a ham & cheese sandwich or a grilled cheese sandwich or maybe just a couple slices of cheese. I’m not real hungry but I have to take a pretty strong antibiotic which tears my stomach up which is another reason I’m having dinner so late. I’ll figure it out I guess. I’ll more than likely scratch the grilled cheese cause I hate to dirty a pan. LOL Guess I’m kinda lazy.

Chinese takeout tonight. Gotta get my steamed dumpling fix.I enjoy Chinese but I don’t think I’ve ever eaten steamed dumplings. I stopped eating Chinese when the pandemic started. I know that sounds awful and I’m not racist in that regard. It’s just that since there’s never been any definitive determination about where the virus actually came from, I became leery. I’m pretty sure over half a million people didn’t die from eating Chinese but it did make me feel uncomfortable for a while.

Blowfish, B.O.C. Sketchers and Earth Origins. She had made supper for it and it was like sweet and sour pork chops.

Tonight I’ll more than likely be having pizza with 4 little ones who think they can eat cheese pizza for every meal every day. YUK!

But, the one thing that always makes me wanna barf is when they throw out that disgusting “McDonalds”. Ewwwww Unfortunately for me that was my punishment tonight, those wretched Golden Arches. I would have loved a cheese pizza over that. I guess that’s what I get for complaining about cheese pizza.

Went to the Pumphouse Brewery last night (watched the Av's play) - portobello mushroom sandwich with sundried tomatoes, caramelized onions, sauteed spinach, swiss cheese, crispy artichokes - and onion rings - I'll have the leftover half and o rings for lunch later. Not sure about dinner yet....maybe a movie....That sounds delicious. We are grilling out tonight, some steaks, squash casserole, strawberries and wine coolers. Empty house as kids have gone to friends.

Tonight - I have no idea!

My daughter and son in law bought a smoker and made bbq beef brisket, roasted veggies, salad, chick pea lettuce wraps, salsa, guacamole, chips and a chocolate cake. A fun afternoon and evening!That sounds wonderful. My son fixes a mouth watering brisket on his green egg. I ran into a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago at a ballgame. She’s also a realtor and has sold 4 houses for my son. He buys, renovates, and sells. He’s made a decent profit. But anyway, I told her I forbid her to sell anymore houses for them as I’d like for them to stay in one place especially after they fix it up. She said she loves selling his houses because she can always find a brisket in the fridge and she’ll fix herself a sandwich. And, on a couple of occasions, she’s even gotten a baggie out and sliced her some to take home. I had to laugh.

That's the first brisket they've made. My daughter wants to make applewood smoked chicken next. I didn't have any of the beef brisket..they had potato salad and macaroni salad too. Everyone, including me, have gotten used to the bagged salads. I decided to make a real salad...spinach, baby greens, tomatoes, red pepper, yellow pepper, onions, carrots. Salad but super colorful and it tasted great. I love Ken's Citrus Onion salad dressing. I also roasted the veggies - Brussels sprouts, onions, zucchini, parsnips, peppers, potatoes. Tossed them in olive oil with garlic, salt, lemon pepper, oregano, basil, rosemary - 35 minutes in the oven at 400. My youngest brought the chick pea lettuce wraps since she and I are doing the vegan thing. I need to go on a diet! You think you'd lose weight eating vegan! I don't eat sweets, no chocolate cake for me either.
My oldest is due August 9th....she's 30 weeks. This baby is carrying a lot higher and not as crazy active as my Grandson. Maybe a girl?
