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.
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! 😉
But it does have vitamin c, so that is the salad to counter act the canned ravioli. :) According to Send. :)
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.
Willie, now I'm craving a nanaimo bar.
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 😔
It'll be good on this snowy night and very filling too.That's what I'm making~
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.
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. :(
have a margarita where ever you go
and, congratulations on reaching social security age
The suspense is killing me! 😜
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.
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.
I still dream if a brick oven. It's in the plans, but you know how that goes.
Too tired to make a salad.
A large portobello mushroom, the size of a hamburger bun can be a veggie burger.
Saute in fryng pan, or grill on bbq.
Thanks Smeshque for your 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
