I'm with you on that one. Serve a simple meal with no apologies. It's important that you don't wear yourself out with the prep; more important that you appear rested and really glad to see them. Fresh flowers on the table are a nice touch.

Daily Health Tip
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!

Oh my goodness I am a cabbage lover anyway, but roasted cabbage steak with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and a splash of lemon juice is over the top. Next time I will add some bacon and onion onto the baking sheet and serve them together.

And I went with bland comfort food. My grandmother always made a meal from mixture of the first garden peas, beans, baby carrots, onions and new potatoes in a white sauce, I only had my own beans and peas and had to use store bought for the rest.

Salads sound good to me too so I'm busy making a variety to have on hand - I picked up some grapes and cabbage so I will make up some coleslaw and some kind of fruit salad. I'm also cooking some macaroni for a pasta salad.

Martz,

That is not hard to do. Last week, I ate almost whole bag of Oreos watching the Invisible Man. LOL

If you don't need to be concerned about the salt, you can use a pasta or rice side dish to start the one pot meal, like cheddar broccoli, add a little extra water and some chicken with frozen broccoli spears or other vegetables and let everything cook till tender. Turn it off and stir in some shredded cheddar if you like it a bit more cheesy.

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.

I was trying to make a nutritionally balanced one pot meal - I went for a kind of Asian inspired rice and veggie combination - and I have failed miserably, it's awful 🤢
Maybe I'll have grilled cheese?

I had a TV dinner in the microwave tonight as my new oven won’t arrive for another week and somehow I managed to start a fire in the other one 😁...and yes I was worried my father with dementia would burn the house down... I guess there’s a first for everything. By the way, be very careful if you are cooking with parchment paper and be sure it’s not sticking out of the pan 😉

Made gazpacho, supposed to chill overnight, but had some that wouldn't fit in the container. MMMM! Love it! and had a few slices of crostini with it.

I will never understand hot meals in the heat of summer, unless you can do the hot part outside.
