Dessert makes me smile
Attachment 262978
Tonight it was roast chicken and fried rice.
Fish and Chips from a restaurant downtown on the way home.
I have some cod fillets thawing, from the food fishery catch back in August...so will pan fry those..boiled potatoes mashed with butter, etc and homemade pickles/chutney (that I didn't make)
this will be the gang's dinner tonight but it was my lunch, thinly sliced skinless, boneless chix breasts, crumbed and baked.
( got to use some special spices that were given to me as a gift after a friend's visit to Turkey! ) Added saffron, coriander and paprika to the crumbs. Mashed red skins ( skins left on! mmm) steamed fresh carrots and broccoli.
Roast beef and gravy, mashed potatoes with peas and carrots.
Butter Chicken Lasagna...so good...so FATTENING!!!
Leftovers from earlier in the week. We had fried cheese perogies, fried rice (home made), chicken and vegetable stir-fry (home made), and chocolate milk.
Tomorrow I am roasting a 12lb turkey with yellow onions and carrots. I think I will try cooking my butternut squash and sweet potato in the slow cooker (as suggested in another thread this week). Probably mashed potatoes and gravy to go with it too. All for no particular reason, but it will make for good leftovers.
I currently have raspberry oatmeal squares in the oven for a baby shower on Sunday, this way I know they are ready to go. :)
edit: Can't forget the cranberry sauce, it is one of my favourite things about having a roast bird.
Making some spaghetti and meatballs for tonight.
and so it begins again......the menu? the planning, the shopping, cooking and cleanup for the coming week. I REALLY want to make something new-ish. These comfort dishes are not helping our waistlines any.
Whatever we can grab thats in the fridge and doesnt involve too much work!
It's a miserable weather day here..currently have winds 75km/hr gusting to 123km/hr...so what else is there to do but cook & eat!!! Hopefully, I don't lose the power, I'm going to bake a couple of large turkey thighs, shred the meat and make hot turkey, with mash potatoes, green peas and stove top, lots of turkey gravy..even if the power does go I should still be able to finish cooking on the wood stove. And, while that's cooking this afternoon I'm popping a large bowl of popcorn and watching t.v. all day, which I rarely get a chance to do. Hope there's a good movie/show on!

^Oh, yum, Wolfie - do you make it? If not, what brand do you buy and like? I've only had Schneiders.
Last night, I had Renee's spinach dip and crackers; husband had leftover chicken bits and bread, then later eggs and bread.
Tonight - ? Don't wanna cook...
I am blaming the weather! I still have only thawed some cod and shrimp and have made a darn thing yet! ( too busy crocheting and napping accidentally ) lol
