Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
Pot roast, carrots and baby potatoes.
Dessert:
Small slice of chocolate moose cake
I only use grass fed beef and I recommend a marinade of mustard, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar and pepper. Marinate overnight and dab dry before throwing it on the grill, if cooking in the house a little liquid smoke in your marinade will give you the grilled flavor. I hope that you enjoy your next steak.
You can put your garlic on the grill as well and you are in for a treat.
I made a relatively expensive cut of steak last night, too. It was grass fed, etc. I didn't think it had very good flavor. I normally buy run-of-the-mill cuts of beef so I'm not sure if this is normal for grass-fed, that it didn't taste very good.
Bridger, Your DH will be in my prayers. I haven't had a chocolate croissant in years. I love them! I sometimes wish I was a baker just so I could make them.
Chocolate croissants reunite the United States!
ginger beer. (Non Alcoholic).
Please share the chocolate croissant instructions. I am thinking that they could bring world peace if we could all enjoy a chocolate croissant, whether you like dark chocolate, white chocolate, strawberry or milk chocolate. Mmmmmmmgood! We could all be happy and maybe we could have some love for one another. 😁
Keep us posted.
I figured that I would get a head start on dinner.
I put a roast in the oven.
Will make mashed potatoes and a salad later.
I am going to look at the granola recipe.
I love beef stew! So does my hubby. I make it too.
Here is the recipe that I found on line that is super easy and really good for Granola. I must warn you, it makes a big batch and you may find that you can't stop eating it!

You mentioned the Amish products before. I am curious. Do you have a favorite of any their products?
Do you cook any of their dishes?
It looks good. I want to try it soon.
The only thing I will modify is the noodles.
The recipe calls for no bake noodles which I am not fond of.
When my mom got Alzheimer's, I was her "lady-in-waiting," I had made (or should I say "maid") salmon for everyone, and she said she didn't want that, (although it was one of her favorite meals). She wanted chicken, but I didn't have any at hand, so I decided to "wing it." I gave her some other options, (like soup and a sandwich) but she didn't want that either, so I hid her salmon under some mashed potatoes, and she said it was delicious. "No harm no foul," (fowl) or, no luck no cluck. I even wrote a book about my husband and I taking care of her, laced with humor called: "My Mother Has Alzheimer's and My Dog Has Tapeworms: A Caregiver's Tale."
