- Swedish meatballs and egg noodles
- Orange juice

I made soup last night. Just used veggies that I thought would go together well. The base was baked pumpkin that I had in the freezer. I had to boil it to get the chunks apart, so I used that water to blend the pumpkin till it was smooth. I like chunky soup. In the soup pot I sauteed cauliflower, carrots, onion and corn till the onion started to brown,then added two cups of chicken bouillon, a can of cream of mushroom soup and more water. Spices were garlic, ginger, chili powder, lots of black pepper and curry powder. Super low in calories - 137 calories for 2 cups. Along with, I had a frozen strawberry bar.


Had the soup for dinner again today, but for a different tangy-ness I added cottage cheese before I heated it up. Had a butterscotch pudding cup for dessert. Later I had DeliMex taquitos which I have recently developed a passion for.

Tonight I am trying iamkeri1's recipe that uses Hormel tamales that she posted in another thread. I can't wait to try it!

Hey Georgia Ma'am,
Did you like it?
Scary to have someone try my recommendation.
Smooches,

For dinner tonight I had a stuffed green pepper from Stouffer's.

Mashed potatoes and corn with slices of watermelon. Cutting up that watermelon was the most work for for me of that meal. The rest was either frozen or ready to eat food. Plenty good for a non cooker.

I did like it! I had the beef tamales. I think next time I will try the chicken. Since it was February and there were no good tomatoes to be had, I used canned store brand fire roasted tomatoes with green chilis (89 cents). I also added a couple of tablespoons of sour cream, which increased the calories a bit, but hey - I love sour cream on spicy food.

Tonight for dinner, we had:
- pulled pork BBQ
- garlic toast
- French fries

That sounds like a variation that would appeal to many people. I never have been much of a "hot" food eater. I like a little kick but not as much as many people I know. What I'm using for hot sauce these days is Louisiana Supreme Wing sauce. I like it on wings, or drumsticks which I usually substitute for wings.

Tonight I had some leftover steak, so I sliced it up into very small pieces, tossed it in the wing sauce, nuked it, and added tons of lettuce, tomatoes and onion. Pretty good tacos. I'm fighting a UTI, so I had some cranberry gummies and some yogurt to help in eliminating it. I also reheated a baked eggplant (aubergine) and onion dish I made yesterday. I'm going to post it on the "easy food" thread in a minute.

Smooches,
Keri

I've never had boudin sausage, but I looked it up and it sounds wonderful.
I've been to New Orleans once many years ago, but my partner was in such a hurry to keep moving on our trip that I never even got to have a meal in the food capital of the country. Some transgressions you can't forgive even after forty years, LOL

I had a bunch of little things for dinner tonight.
The last of the roasted eggplant & onion topped with
provolone cheese, hot sauce, shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes.
a cup of split pea with ham soup
1/2 a banana
AND, of course, a fudgesicle.

Not stopping to eat in New Orleans is just tragic. I'm so sorry.

Panama City Beach, FL has two good New Orleans Creole style restaurants that I know of. On my recent trip I had a creamed shrimp scampi that was flavored with boudin. Delicious! And the best bread pudding I've ever had outside of New Orleans.

Tonight's dinner was leftover pulled pork BBQ and a baked sweet potato.

I made eggroll in a bowl. It’s my quick dinner standby. It was very good. I added some pizazz.

- Chicken pot pie with potatoes and carrots
- Orange juice for dessert

I didn't post Thursday night, but I actually cooked so I want to tell my tale. I had some steak pieces in the fridge that I wanted to make shredded beef out of for enchiladas, So on Wednesday I braised them with carrots and onions, Took hours for them to get tender enough to pull apart. I bought some street size tortillas, rolled the beef up in it, along with the carrots, topped it with Italian cheese mix and baked for 15 minutes. It was too late to eat when I got done, so I made up two freezer meals and plated up the third meal to eat Thursday for dinner. It was very flavorful - worth the effort.
Friday night I went out with my family. Had a wonderful hamburger with lettuce, tomato and onion. The service was terrible. We waited about an hour to get served, but all the food was good once we got it. We were celebrating my 6 year old g-daughter's 6th birthday so we had cupcakes and rainbow sherbet at my place. Fun Fun Fun.

I have a friend visiting from Woodstock and I'm breaking in my new kitchen for company! I'm making falafel, hummus, tahini dressing, and spiced flatbreads. Will serve with pickled beets, pickled red onions, olives, and slices of cucumber.

- Salisbury steak
- mashed potatoes
- lima beans

I made egg roll in a bowl for the second time this week.


I made embellishments to my recipe that made it even gooder.

Good soy sauce, ginger and garlic for example. I’ve been having it on repeat on the weekly. It’s such a quick dinner too!

pot roast with onions, potatoes and carrots

I'm posting this message here because it gets posts almost every day. For about five days now, I haven't been able to get on BFP through my lap. I keep getting taken to a "default page". Not sure if it's the real thing, but I wanted to report it just in case.
Thanks
