The bacon grease would add fat true but the healthy part of them (nutrients etc) would remain in tact. Thus still giving you the health benefits. Just sayin. Yum Brussel sprouts. Lol!

Dinner tonight will be baked drumsticks, rutabaga cubed and steamed, then mashed with butter, a little evaporated milk, turmeric, rosemary, & S&P. Also steamed zucchini and yellow squash.

Wellllll....If we want to be technical..... Brussel sprouts are supposed to have cholesterol reducing agents. So maybe that would even itself and not clog the arteries? *laughs* couldnt help myself.

But I know that will not convince you. ;)

I do not want them all.... I don't like them THAT much lol.

Crazy healthy little things though.

Grilled chicken skewer and vegetable fried rice.

Good question, maybe I will know later

Dinner
 

I am having half a turkey sandwich with ice tea.

From The Varsity:
- a chili dog
- a chili cheeseburger (pimiento cheese)
- onion rings

It's my once-a-year oil change.

I saw the Varsity on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and have wanted to eat there ever since. Thank you for posting that you got to eat there.

Homemade BBQ wings, salad and fruit. I can't wait! I skipped breakfast and lunch as I did chores.

I think I am finally going to order those chicken wings I have been wanting all week-- and will probably just have that. *rubbing my tummy to get it ready*

Chicken wings and a salad

Dinner
 

I am having pepperoni pizza with olives and feta.

supper
 

went shopping and got 4 dozen fresh smelt. Shook in flour, salt and pepper and fried in butter and olive oil till crispy YUM. Bowl of steamed spinach. Ice tea with lemon.

Couldn't decide what I wanted. So after roaming the grocery store for a little while, I decided to make nachos.

It was a excellent choice.

I'm going back to the nursing home today, after being gone a week because my spouse hasn't been well. So I just packed a pb&j for me for dinner tonight.....:seeingstars:

My daughter and I had a busy day so I started dinner in the crock before I left...

It started out as sriacha chicken...but then I added mixed pepper strips from the freezer. When I got home I added a can of diced tomatoes (partly drained) and a bag of broccoli cauliflower carrot mix. Jasmine rice is cooking...smells SO GOOD in here

BBQ pulled pork
Fried squash
4 mater and cucumber salad
Tea

Mom brought dessert not sure what youcall it, but it is to die for

- lima beans with ham
- creamed red potatoes
- pound cake

I was going to make nachos with chili. Did not. Then I thought I might do a steak. Did not.

I am now sitting here eating a slim jim. :|

Revision: I just heated up some leftover potato/onion perogies and a piece of hot italian sausage with peppers and onions. Orange Crush to drink.

I had homemade chicken noodle soup and a big glass of ice tea.

I had a couple of small grilled pork chops dusted with garlic and basted with mesquite bbq sauce accompanied with corn, green beans and broccoli.

I have a pot of beef heart stew loaded with veggies on a slow simmer for tonight's dinner.

Kale and Italian sweet sausage soup. I've been wanting soup. A substantial soup, but not chicken soup.

Gemme's recent dinner posts gave me this idea (thanks, Gemme) and it's exactly what I needed.

Had it last night, having it tonight, and will have it again tomorrrow.

Given I have everything to make the chili nachos and did not make them last night --that will likely be tonight's fare --unless I get lazy and do the steak. Have I mentioned about food being a chore? :|

Dinner
 

I am making Texas chili. Yummy.

:cowboy:

I made beef carnitas last night, so I'm having that with corn tortillas, avocado, diced onion, and sour cream.

Too hot to actually cook...

Cold salmon with a tzatziki-esque sauce I whipped up
Cold roasted asparagus with lemon
For dessert I have berries with crème fraîche and dark chocolate curls
To drink I have one of the few Chardonnays I like, Toasted Head

Beef and noodles, mashed potatoes ,corn

Pizza and goodies

Sweet and sour pork
Veggie fried rice

We had baked. Chicken breast, roasted asparagus with garlic and cherry tomatoes, spoonful of mashed potatoes.

I made a nice light pasta salad...which I'll most likely have with some spinach or something

Veggie burger and fries.
