Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
Don't shy away from chocolate.
Some kinds of chocolate contain high amounts of flavonols. (White chocolate isn't one of them.) These antioxidants may help control blood pressure and fight cognitive decline. Don't go overboard, though. An ounce of dark chocolate has 155 calories.
So, I am having some more chocolate!
Potatoes and eggplant cubed tiny, sauteed in olive oil.
Scrambled eggs on top.
Campari Tomatoes and parsley as a garnish.
Needed some comfort food.
Blueberries and cherries for desert.
Pamzi, your breads sound delicious.
3 loaves of pina colada bread , and 2 loaves of chocolate zuchinni bread! And 4 loaves of banana bread to top it off! Freezer is filling nicely with stuff for "later"
Cheeseburgers, tater tots, garden salad
homemade chocolate pudding
beer and wine
You are doing great. Love the menu look. Strawberries and raw almonds for a snack, sounds so yummy and healthy. I need to buy some. Keep up the good work, it does pay off. Go Beatty.....Have a nice July 4th.
Beans, beans the musical fruit.....
Breakfast 🍊🍐
Morning snack🍌
Lunch: baked beans (close enough..)
Afternoon snack: 🍎 & handful raw almonds.
Black tea & coffee + lots of water all day.
Pre dinner 🍷🍷
Dinner will be a bit rogue but healthy(ish) steamed salmon, green beans & home made potato wedges.
That is not hard to do. Last week, I ate almost whole bag of Oreos watching the Invisible Man. LOL
Grilled cheese is good too. My father's first off the farm job was working as a short order cook at a drug store counter so he taught me the "right" way to make a grilled cheese sandwich when I was about 10. Last week I taught the same lesson to his great-grandson.
Maybe I'll have grilled cheese?
I will never understand hot meals in the heat of summer, unless you can do the hot part outside.
