1. A delicious but not really healthy (for me) dinner

Broiled sea scallops wrapped in turkey bacon topped with the last of our rosemary and slices of lemon.
Steamed asparagus with slivers of red pepper. Wild rice.
Tomato and red onion salad topped with dill and olive oil.
We're marinating a fresh pear in brandy for dessert.

2. TURKEY bacon better than pig bacon tho, right?

ENJOY them!

[NJCher]

10. sounds healthy to me!

3. frozen pizza

and a fresh salad of romaine, carrots, onions, celery, yellow bell pepper, grape tomatoes, black olives and cubed ham. Dressed w/ the homemade salad dressing I made last night (red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, Dijon mustard, and S&P).


No dessert planned... but Top Chef is on tonight, so I may make some popcorn.

[NJCher]

11. that salad would be good with French dressing, too

I was thinking.

[MissMillie]

17. I was hoping...

...that we had bleu cheese dressing in the house, but we don't.

4. Rice-Bean-Cheese-Corn Tortillia Casserole.

My 1 qt pyrex bowl is the same size as the corn tortillas, so I grease the bowl and layer them. I do heat the torts 2/3 min in the toaster oven, I get a little more crunch. Decafe English Breakfast Tea.

[Phentex]

5. Ravioli, salad, bread...

with an olive spread. We love our carbs.

6. Comfort food

Dark and misty day in Virginia - glad it's not cold.

Meatloaf
Au Gratin Potatoes
Collard Greens

For reasons known only to himself, FLFC is presently obsessed with his miniature tennis balls and is not requesting tastes as I eat.

[NJCher]

12. hey, Yonnie,

where ya' been. Missed hearing about FLFC, too.

[Yonnie3]

15. I've been around ...

Several reasons I've missed posting daily of late.

I've been napping when you folks are posting. TJ and FLFC are awake at all sorts of variable hours and I find I'm short of sleep. The only reason I'm posting right now is that my phone woke me up reminding me to put the garbage and recycling out for pick up.

The political pickle here in Virginia has upset me and I've taken several breaks from the internet this week.

Sometimes I'm not sure I want to share the results of my foraging for food here.

[Wawannabe]

18. But

FLFC is the mascot. We gotta know!

7. Sons are coming for dinner

Red hot chili (made in Instant Pot), spinach salad, cornbread from corn milled at The Mill at Anselma, crisp apple/berry cobbler (also made in Instant Pot). Used the "vegan under pressure" cookbook, one of my favorites.

[iamateacher]

9. The cobbler turned out well

3 apples, a cup of frozen berries, stevia, spices, oats and almonds.

8. Zucchini lasagne for me

Hubby gets cheese ravioli, basic salad, and garlic knots.
Oh, and I made peanut butter cookies from a keto recipe! Just natural PB, one egg, vanilla, and sweetener. They came out delicious, but too crumbly. I'll try again but make them bigger and not cook them as long.

[NJCher]

13. interesting

about the pbj cookies. I want to try making chocolate chip cookies with that no- or low-carb flour I ordered. Jovial einkorn wheat flour.

BTW, I noticed the grocery stores around here are finally getting this wheat in. The ShopRite had 2 kinds--Jovial and Red Mill.

ABOUT TIME they paid attention to the low-carbers!

[PennyK]

21. The Keto thing is BIG

So even Publix has things like coconut flour now. I need to really start learning from all the keto sites that have sprung up.

[Luciferous]

14. Steaks, broccoli, mushrooms and onions. Dark chocolate squares.

[pansypoo53219]

16. leftover chicken breast. soda cracker breaded. dipped melted butter. baked in butter.

my grandma used 1 stick, which is AWESOME, but for a health kick we tried 1/2.add all the crackers. 20-30 min depends. experimented w/ my added spice/herbs. add no or more cayenne? that is the question.

[Wawannabe]

19. The last of my lunch!

Company bought me a personal pizza - got buffalo chkn pizza. The sauce was great - maybe Franks...and it had chkn breast, red onion and pepperoncinis. Mozz and bleu cheese. It was big so I had leftovers. Tonight I am having a side salad and celery sticks with it. All with ranch. 😬

NJ Cher. I love rosemary and garlic roasted potatoes. Simply the best!

20. mesquite grilled London Broil on a salad

made up a quick dressing that turned out really good. I have a jar of homemade fake Good Seasons Italian mix (mostly salt, LOL) so I used a tablespoon of that, squeezed the juice of a few chunks of lemon and lime leftover from earlier this week, a bit of wine vinegar, a tiny bit of dry mustard, a teaspoon or so of honey, maybe a tablespoon of good olive oil and a quarter cup of mayo. it came out really good.

salad was just Romaine, cukes, cherub tomatoes, onion, and a chopped up carrot. that was about the end of fresh vegs in the house. I REALLY need to go shopping.
