This week's meals

Went shopping Saturday and spent $136. Got lots of meat and some other stuff.


Yesterday was my day off, so I made dinner and did a bit of food prep.


For dinner we had gumbo and grits (it's in my cookbook, whenever I manage to get the damned thing published) with garlic toast. It was a delicacy.


I also chopped and froze most of the bananas I got so I can make nice cream at some point. I made some tamogoyaki style eggwhite omelettes that I cut into portions. A big square electric skillet is great for that btw.


Let's see...oh I got some little turkey sausages for breakfast. Chicken I plan on making into chicken curry tomorrow, like butter chicken. Man I can't wait! Tonight is pork schnitzels. Probably just making sandwiches out of those.


For lunch today I'm having broiled salmon, the tamogoyaki, asparagus, greens, and applesauce for dessert.


Oh I also made chicken salad yesterday. I make mine with shredded chicken from my instapot, Hellmann's mayo, fat free sour cream, sweet pickle relish, white onion, celery, and cucumber. Plus of course it was seasoned when I cooked the chicken. Used same for gumbo and leftover chicken is for curry tomorrow. So I did three different foods starting with one pot.

Good ideas. I love my Instant Pot to brown whatever I need instead of my skillet. Less mess and quicker. I'm making salmon for dinner with a cream, lemon, cilantro sauce and whatever else I can think of. We eat salmon 2-3 times a week and use any leftovers for a salad. Going to make sauerkraut this week.

I also tend to use a meat in different directions. Yesterday, lunch was a turkey ham and provolone sandwich. After heating the ham in the microwave, I put one slice then the provolone, then second slice, which melted the provolone. I had found two 80-20 packages of ground chuck at $1.49 markdown. One I turned into 4 patties and used Foreman grill. The other I broke up and cooked with onion and spices (pepper and garlic). 1/2 will go in freezer then vacuum seal. Am still debating what direction to go with the other. May go Korean, may go with mushroom gravy. Will decide on veggies and either basmati or sushi rice once I pick.

I tend to eat alot of fruits and salad. Today had a couple of lobster rolls.
I don't eat meat anymore but I will eat fish so that makes me a pescatarian...

I have been picking things from my garden so salads are becoming a daily affair. Tomorrow will be more of the same.

Wow...I'm super impressed by your cooking skills! I'll admit I had to Google "tamogoyaki" to learn what it was. : )

My diet is extremely limited these days, due to a chronic illness. Prior to getting sick, my diet was similar to Bob's -- lots of fruits, veggies, and fish, and very little meat.

Moondancing, I eat salmon once a week for dinner and save leftovers for lunches with salad. I don't like sauerkraut but I have recently discovered kimchi, which is like Korean sauerkraut but better in my opinion.
Bill, root beer is a great marinade for pork roast.
Ladybug, what kind of illness? Is it Lupus? I have had some experience with that and some training in dietetics. Maybe I can help?
Everyone else, good job on eating healthy and getting in the kitchen :)

I am soo far behind all of you in my cooking skills! Like Ladybug, I had to google tamogoyaki, and it sounds yummy :)

Also, due to chronic illness, my diet has become fairly bland. I tend to stick to foods that I know I tolerate well and that I know are healthy.
I guess I've gotten into a rut, and haven't been trying lots of new things.

I have a crock pot though and haven't experimented with it...maybe it's time to try new things.

@bobinmaine, I’m also a non-meat eater but will eat a fish once a week for the omega 3. I also don’t eat dairy.

Tonight because I went to the food pantry today I had some sauced hot not really hot chicken wings and they had a bunch of free slightly older bananas that I took a bunch of so I skinned one broke it up into the blender and then got the last few of my strawberries out of fridge and added about half inch of heavy cream and about an inch of milk then a hand full of ice and made myself a nice banana strawberry smoothie to top off the chicken wings....

Lol Bill that reminds me of something I used to like to eat when I was a teenager. Do you remember when Wendy's had spicy Asian wings? I used to love to get those and eat them with a cookie dough frosty, which they also don't have anymore :(

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
