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.
Peg Bracken reckoned the best way to clean a waffle iron was to have pancakes instead.
Hey Sue
I heard someone mention a restaurant in your downtown area named Mole - supposedly very good mole
I have a waffle-maker, so we might have fresh made tonight. Thanks for the idea! I once heard that if home-made, there are much fewer calories and carbs, especially if you add blueberries, an antioxidant, and so healthy for you!
Where is that? Where'd I put it?
Hubby is on a diet which means WE are on a diet. Tonight was a tasty combination of ground sirloin, onions, green and yellow bell peppers and portobello mushrooms. Great! But NO carbs......no rice, potatoes, noodles, bread (I'd even take a tortilla), nada. I'm a witch without carbs. No wine with dinner, no desert. :(
Hubs has a meeting tonight so I snuck 2 frozen waffles! I feel so guilty but... oh well. My carb "fix" is satisfied. He'll never know.
As you can imagine, I didn't do well on the Atkins diet.
I am so envious of your NY strip steak. Sounds delicious.
Tonight it was burger and fries and a fresh lemonade. I think I better make up for it with a salad tomorrow.:-)
Sue- that recipe sounds way better than the one I did, but it was still good.
Becky- hope you are recovering well. bean salad was good. But Sues recipe sounds better.
Madge- Spinach enchiladas sound good.Love spinach.
Dusti- Depends if you like corn tortillas or flour? I love cheese enchiladas.YUM!
I had an Indian taco for dinner(black bean,pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos,black olives,red onions, sour cream and Louisiana hot sauce, and I like a little ketchup too)
One thing I am looking for is a good beef enchilada recipe... haven't found one as yet.
That recipe sounds yummy
Spinach enchiladas with verde sauce - it was the weekend special and had zucchini and carrots along with avocado and sour cream - so good
Think I'll go simple and pick up a couple of shr dudes beef tacos with radishes jalapeños and carrots
Of course tomorrow is $1 taco Tuesday
The Viking's caregiver got a chorizo with potato and black bean taco Saturday

Send,
Darn, I've got to watch my cholesterol. Not saying' you have to do this but I get the Turkey sausage patty in my sausage McMuffin. Way less fat grams and I can't tell the difference in flavor. I'm sure they'd do an egg white only also (the yolk has 200 mg. cholesterol per egg!) I get mine eggless. Just sayin'.
Glad you're home Becky enjoying such a spectacular meal. How nice for a bit of solitude to recover.
MsMadge,
Spinach enchiladas? Cheese too? What sauce do they use to cover them? Can't even imagine (?????)
Cheese enchiladas
Made a black bean and corn salad, the first time I have tried it. Added some onions and tomatoes, some cilantro and a little lemon juice, was very good. I thought corn and beans cold sounds gross, but was good, anywho.
Hubs was late for work, they called him, no breakfast for me, as off we went in a hurry.
Much later, when I was more awake, sausage egg muffin at guess-where.
Dinner is also going to be late, but Mexican food sounds great!
But I'm treating myself to takeaway from my fav Mexican restaurant
Spinach enchiladas
If only they had mango margaritas to go
Here it is leftover chicken and noodles; too hot to cook something...made a bean(SSSSSS) salad for tomorrow- letting it marinate because it has lots of red onion in it so it will be even better with a sandwich or something on grill tomorrow...also going to be hot.
Have a nice breakfast today 🍳🍊🍩☕️
Last trip to Ralph's (Kroger) much of the fruit was hard and cold - picked and kept in storage no doubt, but there were some bags with a half dozen or so for $2.99 which have been pretty good
Otherwise, place those peaches and plums in a paper lunch bag and they might ripen better
All the one's Iv'e tried look ripe and ready and then they're as hard as a rock when I cut them up.I'm having good luck with cantaloupe's though...
Glad...How about a popcicle or a chicken salad sandwich?Or chocolate's ALWAYS good~
