Decided with all the talk of corn yesterday that today was going to be a corn type of day. However since the only corn in sight at my house was two cans that have been in the cupboard for several weeks. So into the crock pot it went this morning with several other ingredients and by dinner it will be my version of New England Corn Chowder. It will include a nice creamy base, potato's, nice crispy bacon, and lots of black pepper for flavor. For dessert I am using up some ripen bananas, some vanilla pudding and frozen tart shells to make a mini version of banana cream tarts.


Then after all those calories I will have to

Just make up for it.

One more meal off the rotisserie chicken from last week. Haven't decided whether to do another round of quesadillas (they really hit the spot!) or dig a Thai Garlic Black Bean sauce out of the freezer and do some Jasmine Rice. I'll probably see what the Boy feels like, if I haven't come to a conclusion before I get home. And we killed off the Berry Crisp last night, so dessert will probably be yogurt.

We are having a chicken in a vidalia onion fig sauce with maybe rice and a salad.

There are lots of good products out there these days that save a lot of time, without sacrificing quality, and I am slo-o-o-o-o-o-owly learning not to apologize for a product I would have been happy to produce myself. It's surprisingly hard to take that seriously, when one has been accustomed to -- and thoroughly enjoyed -- doing everything from scratch. However, I'm coming to realize that it takes almost as much expertise to spot those exceptional products as it does to make it from scratch, and if it saves time, it's worth it.

OK, off my relatively newfound soapbox.
Thanks for the link.

I have water on to boil for Kraft macaroni and cheese.


If I would have been planning ahead I could have added a vidalia onion and fig sauce.

We had Pork Tenderloin medallions (a favourite which we have fairly frequently) done with a Calvados, chopped apple and cream sauce, broccoli, new potatoes and a lovely spinach salad (spinach, tomato, mushroom, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, orange sections, and sunflower seeds with a homemade orange juice dressing).

I also made a pot roast last night for tonight's dinner because tonight is gym night and I want something quick.

Back to ham and scallopped potatoes tonight. The last of the potatoes. And tonight I think I'm going to do Linda's beets and pears. Haven't a clue about dessert.

I can send some to you for next time.


I haven't had Kraft mac & cheese in a while, but that used to be a staple.


I was on the hunt for the elusive dutch process cocoa today and it brought me to Whole Foods. I bought one of their ready made pizzas for tonight. I've been baking cookies again today and won't have the patience to cook supper also.

Corned beef, cabbage, and carrots. It's been cooking all day and smells sooo good
Just waiting on FH to get home; I told him if we didn't get home soon, I'd probably eat it all.

Salt pork, boiled cabbage and bicuits. At least that is what I'm eating. The kids will probably have chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes and the hubby? Well he can eat one of those two things or fend for himself tonight,LOL. I'm tired and just don't feel like doing much.
