Also a request for strawberry shortcake. I had to buy the lettuce and strawberries, but it was good anyway. The 7 year old had a pbj, grapes, and dessert.<br />Saturday-zucchini, pasta, and feta cheese, and corn on the cob<br />Sunday-taco salad. The 7 year old had tortilla chips, sour cream, cheese, and watermelon.<br />Monday-chicken thighs, pasta, tossed salad. And the 7 year old ate some chicken. A miracle.<br />Tuesday-another family birthday, but I wasn't in charge of dinner.

Also, we got tired of (expensive) fair food. <br /><br />We have harvested exactly five cucumbers so far this year; no tomatoes. Soon I will have jalapenos running out of my ears, though, for whatever that's worth. The rabbits ate off all the vining plants except two hills of cukes and one of watermelon (and including the calabaza), and all the beans, period. Not a great result.

I made crockpot soup with them. Tossed in some veggies, canned broth, and the chicken leftovers from the day before. Also made homemade gnocchi to toss in (two cups of flour, two eggs, a container of sweet potato baby food that's been sitting in the pantry for awhile. Mix up in the food processor, then pinch pieces off and toss in boiling water or broth). <br /><br />Tuesday: hamburger helper with ground beef, frozen veggies, and a box of Mac and cheese. <br /><br />Wednesday: Soup made with a pound of chickpeas, lots of garlic, and a smoked turkey leg we had in the freezer. <br /><br />Thursday: King ranch chicken casserole. Chicken, rotel, cheese, veggies, and white sauce layered with corn tortillas and baked. <br /><br />Friday: frozen pre-breaded fish fillets and... potatoes maybe? Not sure yet.

I haven't used taco spices in years since one time my husband left out the taco seasoning packet, and everybody said they liked plain beef better.<br /><br />Wednesday: Salmon burgers, watermelon (on sale), and corn on the cob, plus coleslaw. <br /><br />Thursday: Hamburger stew for a stormy late dinner after going to confession.<br /><br />Tonight is lentil soup. samcarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559301165647772571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-22908069639724379982022-08-05T06:30:05.444-06:002022-08-05T06:30:05.444-06:00I cannot remember what all we ate so I am working ...I cannot remember what all we ate so I am working backwards…<br />Thursday: hamburgers, coleslaw, baked beans, French fries<br />Wednesday: family event sponsored by my husband’s union so we had dinner provided for us before the soccer game (our first time watching major league soccer) <br />Tuesday: pulled pork sandwiches, salad, baked beans <br />Monday: various leftovers (fajita bowl for me) <br />Sunday: fajitas <br /><br />~AndraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-9713176770726099302022-08-05T05:12:42.775-06:002022-08-05T05:12:42.775-06:00mbmom11: Yuck.

Here's hoping for 100% health for your household soon!Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-86644989128642203172022-08-05T05:08:55.731-06:002022-08-05T05:08:55.731-06:00Due to covid finally hitting the home, food was wh...Due to covid finally hitting the home, food was whatever I had on hand. Mostly grilled cheese and pasta. I did cook homemade Mac and cheese and veg for one birthday night. She wanted lemon poppy seed muffins for her treat which her brother got from the store. (The 2 working teens haven't got it- they're hiding from the rest of us very effectively. ) now it's very hot again so used gift cards last night to get enough pizza to last a few days. The only baking I did was a batch of banana bread to use up old bananas. <br />The blue sky above the lake- glorious! Enjoy your weekend!mbmom11noreply@blogger.com
