I was baptized Catholic but really not into organized religion so much anymore. But old habits are hard to break! Without thinking, I searched the pantry for canned salmon. Yum, I love fish anyway! I'm going to fix salmon patties with a spinich salad

Mmm salmon patties!

I took some chicken breasts out of the freezer so Im thinking tonight I'll pour some peach bbq sauce over them (that I canned, have to use it up!) and wrap them in foil, should be tasty. Along with rice and I think Ive got some frozen veggies in the freezer.

Going to throw together a pot of beef stew this afternoon with potatoes, carrots, onions, and green beans. Most likely make up some biscuits to go along with it. For dessert I have a coffee carmel muffin with my name on it...They are soooooooooooo good.

I was inspired by AbbysMom so last night I made baked scallops. Mmmmm
We'll be having the leftovers tonight.

We're due for some beef -- overdue, in fact. I'm thinking that may be a pot of chili -- unless I have some other brainwave in the meantime. That might involve a run up the road to Safeway, but that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

I just finished slicing and chopping everything to make a nice, homemade veggie pizza.

We are having turkey, potatoes. carrots ,peas, asparagus, stuffing , cranberry sauce. I went grocery shopping this morning and this little turkey kept calling me.

I just tried a new recipe:

Herb Cheese & Almond Stuffed Chicken Breasts with couscous. It was AWESOME! Hubby gobbled it all up.

It does sound really good.

And after saying probably a pot of chili, I have been resisting that all afternoon. I just don't feel like chili. So I cast my mind around the possibilities once again, and I feel really fine about garlic prawns. There's also a very nice avocado on the counter that will figure in there somewhere, probably as part of a salad for the prawns to be draped over. Yessirree, that feels much better.

I just had some lovely fresh fish grilled with cheese, a mushroom rice dish on the side and a big serving of fresh green salad.

Simple meal tonight. Bavarian smokies, panfried nugget potatoes, salad -- the 15 minute supper.

Meatloaf, pan fried potatoes and carrots. Old fashioned rib sticking

We had chicken.

Last night was oven-baked bbq chicken, fresh green beans and corn muffins. Not sure what tonight will bring.

I have a beef roast in the crockpot and we'll make sandwiches from it tonight.

We're going to have chicken with broccoli and cheese rolls, salad and some other veggie I'll decide on later.

I roasted a chicken yesterday for me and hubby. There is lots left so tonight it is leftover chicken with potatoes, carrots and broccoli.

If all goes according to PLAN...

Yosemite's "Mika's Cheesy Chicken Breasts", aka "Yosemite Chicken". A friend of ours -- actually the sister of a friend -- loves her animal protein, but has no confidence cooking it, and often ends up with dry uninteresting stuff, so doesn't cook meat/poultry often, so doesn't get much practice, etc -- vicious circle. So, for a while we've been doing periodic dinners where I coach her. For this one, she decided it was time to tackle chicken, which has been a particular frustration for her. When she said that, I said, "Have I got a chicken recipe for you!"

So, R is doing appies (not sure what); N and I will do main course of Yosemite Chicken, Jasmine Rice, and whatever green veggie she fancies; and I'll do Zabaglione for dessert.

That is, if the &*>@\\*€{*>]\\]*\\> snow that's been falling since yesterday afternoon doesn't put the kibosh on the whole enterprise! N is an anxious driver, and may decide she doesn't want to venture out if it hasn't improved substantially by this evening. It's no big deal in terms of quantity, but it sure was screwing up the traffic this morning! The roads were slick enough that there were accidents all over the place. It's pretty much stopped now, but I have no idea what driving is like. We'll see.

I'm really looking forward to sharing YC with her.

Last night I ended up having steak, tomatoes and mushrooms with heaps of fresh bread!

I'm not sure what will be tea for tonight but I'm thinking some lovely eggs with fresh bread!
