its been extremely hot lately and the only thing I want to cook is BBQ as the stove won't make the kitchen hotter.. Yes we have A/C in the living window, but that is for the living room.. Our nights are cool enough to allow for a good nights sleep, but our daytime temperatures are up around 35c.. We are NOT used to that hot temp up here.. BBQ chicken, burgers, veal steaks, and sausages seems to be what is going on lately.. Our veggie garden is growing like crazy and a fresh garden salad goes very well with a BBQ, especially with my homemade dressing.. Breakfast consists of scrambled eggs with some fresh parsley chopped into it.. Lunch: Nothing really other than a cold diet pop..
Thinking about frying the okra I have put up from my garden, but the plants are still producing and I want to see how much the plants produce in total.
Chicken breasts pre-marinated, frozen on the BBQ.... A fresh garden salad.. Veggies from our garden.. slice of watermelon... Breakfast: the usual, 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon for my wife, and 3 scrambled eggs for me..
FISH .... I bought some frozen Haddock fillets.. Made a breading and put them in a hot skillet.. Wonderful.. I went to our vegetable garden and picked veggies to make a fresh salad.. A slice of watermelon for desert .. Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon for my wife.. 3 scrambled eggs for me..
Today (Friday) is food shopping day.. I will most likely buy something for supper while shopping.. Maybe some fresh fish.. Yesterday (Thursday) was sooooooooooo hot that I made a mish-mash BBQ for supper.. No stove please.... Princess wanted one of my marinated frozen chicken breasts while I felt like a small steak... I went to our veggie garden and picked veggies for a salad... Made my own dressing.. S/F jello with heavy cream for desert..
Yesterday (Saturday) I made an Italian chicken casserole in the oven as the temperature dropped and it was cool enough to get the oven going.. Those casseroles that I make are loaded with veggies making it a one dish meal.. UNFORTUNATELY I have some leftovers that I put in a container in the fridge.. Actually, enough for the both of us to have another meal.. The casserole was delicious...
Last night (Monday) for supper, I made chicken drums on the BBQ Steamed butternut squash, mashed with fresh chives.. Slice of watermelon... Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon for my wife.. 3 scrambled eggs with just a bit of cheese for me.. Pot of Folgers.. Lunch.................. as usual, NOTHING !!!
Tonight (Wednesday) I made fish.. Haddock in the skillet but I made my breading first.. Steamed and mashed carrots with parsnips... slice of watermelon Breakfast: as usual... 3 egg omelette with turkey bacon for my wife and 3 scrambled eggs for me... as usual, no lunch...
I had raspberry toaster waffles for breakfast. I had never seen that type before but they had them at Wegman's the award winning grocery store that built a store about 45 minutes from me. I also made a macaroni salad last night, and I was given input by many different people as to macaroni salad. I guess that begs the question..What do you put in your macaroni salad? I put a variety of veggies in mine, plus part mayo and part plain yogurt and mustard. What sorts of ingedients make up your macaroni salad?
Warmish again today, so BBQ was the only option.. No heat in the kitchen, not that the air conditioner wouldn't help.... Princess had a frozen marinated chicken breast and I had a steak with a sausage.. Yes, I pigged out... Went to the veggie garden and came back with veggies for a fresh salad.. made my own dressing which was perfect.. A thick slice of watermelon cut in half each for desert..
Supper tonight (Tuesday) was mini meatloaves.. I made a meatloaf and instead of putting it in a loaf pan, I put it in a muffin tin and made mini loaves.. Worked out that I made 12 mini loaves and we ate each 3 so I have leftovers..... Another fresh salad was the veggie.. We love salads especially this time of the year when it is fresh from our veggie garden...
Made some fish for supper tonight.. Tilapia fillets breaded, and fried in EVOO.... Steamed butternut squash with peas added..
