lu - a cook after my own heart - dump stuff together and it is never quite the same the next time. If I want to do something new I look up a couple of recipes online then going into the kitchen and do a kind of combination according to what I have and what sounds good. It usually turns out well. When it is something like soup or stew there is the taste and adjust part until it tastes right Bet your meat loaf was great.
Maybe that's why I don't get much GERD. Too much sugar and I don't like it. Give me a raw carrot or a couple of squares of 70% chocolate instead.
Supper last night was a small rutabaga, some crackers and hummus. Every now and again I want to make a meal of rutabaga Weird I know! 😉

smeshque...Your Dh has good taste.Hawaiian Punch is the best and it's loaded with all kinds of good stuff like Apple,Passionfruit,Pineapple and Orange juice and it also has the fruit purees of Apricot,Papaya and Guava in it and alot of Vitamin C. in it too,but it does have alot of sugar,your'e right.That's why I'm sure i love it so much too.I just crave sugar all the time.

Lu- My DH loves hawaiian punch too. Never thought of slushes. But he quit buying it because mom was getting hooked on it too and too much sugar.

But it does have vitamin c, so that is the salad to counter act the canned ravioli. :) According to Send. :)

I love Hawaiian Punch slush's A LOT. So much so, I've gone through 2 great big jugs in 3-4 days.The problem with them though, is that they make GERD worse, so I have to call it quits.I love them but they hate my guts.

Send, it may not be that unhealthy but I've always felt it was very salty and it is out of a can so.....who knows. But its easy and quick so I turn to it when I'm feeling lazy.

Beef Stroganoff, using plain Greek Yoghurt instead of sour cream.
It is tart, and very thick.
On extra wide egg noodles......

Gershun,
Whenever I need to open a can of that, a salad later can reverse the side effects of the food that was not healthy. How unhealthy is it, cause I eat it often.

I finished the last of the chicken soup I've been eating for a few days.
And then I polished off all the nanaimo bars I'd stashed in the freezer... they weren't quite as good as I remembered, but I ate them anyway. I knew I should have tossed all that stuff 😔

I think meatloaf's are easy to make and they go a long way.You never need a recipe,you just eyeball it and dump and there's never any two that come out alike and the next day after having it for a dinner,you can make the best sandwiches.
It'll be good on this snowy night and very filling too.That's what I'm making~

I agree. It helps to talk about other things besides talking about our tales of woe. I need to find different ideas for what to make for dinner every night. Something fairly easy.

My FIL visited on Sunday and told me about a gift card he got for Xmas. It was $100 to a fancy restaurant. So, MIL and FIL went to the restaurant with another couple who also happened to have a $50 gift card to the same restaurant.

Their first clue was the fancy menu with no price. They ordered ordinary food like chicken and steak dinners with some wine. When they finished dining and wining, they got a bill for almost $400. Yikes!!!

I told FIL $400 is my monthly food budget.

We went to a restaurant that specializes in "pescado zarandado"-a white fish grilled with spicy butter with shrimps on top. Yum. It's one of my favorites. Then off to Costco to buy the 4 layer chocolate fudge cake I've been dreaming about since last year. Gosh it's rich and yummy! Gave half to hubs' family and took the other half home.
Guess I'll be eating most of it myself, as hubs (a non-diabetic) took his blood sugar (he just checks it for info) and it was 130 this morning. :0
Now, another year to diet and to cut carbs. :(

The problem with appetizers in a restaurant is they cost almost as much as the entree, it costs too much unless you have a bunch of friends splitting the cost.

CWillie,
Appetisers when eating out can make the whole meal, and allows a wide choice of favorites. I like to eat this way at a restaurant sometimes.

Bringing a friend and sharing gets even more choices.

We had fish tonight. My goal for 2019 is to have at least two fish meals a week. I just don't like making the whole kitchen smell fishy. But tonight, it's not too bad.

I bought a some frozen, pre-seasoned wild caught mahi mahi at Costco. Fish thawed and then baked in the oven. Came out OK, good enough, moist and flavorful. But I like the pre-seasoned salmon better, pan fried, but more fishy smell in the kitchen.

Homemade pizza with sourdough crust. Dh had pepperoni. I had cheese and peppers. Mom's choice of toppings was Bacon and Anasazi beans? She loved it. Weird combo, but she liked it.


I still dream if a brick oven. It's in the plans, but you know how that goes.

Veggie Burger Recipe.
Simple, nothing special but really good.
The original recipe I took from is as follows:
1 T ketchup
2 T soy sauce
2 T mustard
1 large onion
1 1/2 cup of oats
1 c beans (cooked of course)
1 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp chilli powder
1 medium carrot grated
4 cloves of garlic
dice the onion and garlic and sautee with the carrot until tender.
then just mix it all together and you can grill it or cook it in a non stick skillet browning it gives it more flavor.

When I made mine, I modified it to myself and Moms likes
2 T ketchup
1 T soy sauce
2 T mustard
1 T onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 1/2 cup oats
1 cup black beans
I completely forgot about the carrot.
But this turned out perfect for me.

The great thing about these is that you can modify it with seasonings, add nuts, Worcestershire, rice, throw in other veggies to liking.
Next time I am going to add some crushed walnuts and some peppers, or chipotle sauce.
This was my first try so now I will be experimenting with it.
If anyone else has a better recipe or different I would love to know it.

Hope ya'll like it. I do :) So yummy
