Today I am taking the easy route. We are having Angus beef hotdogs with all the fixings and Bush's vegetarian baked beans. I actually like the beans on top of the hotdog topped with onions and mustard.
I took out a pound of ground chicken from the freezer today and if life permits, I plan to make a pot of Italian Wedding soup tomorrow.
We are not CostCo members, have never been in one. I wonder how their vegetarian foods are. Have you noticed a decent variety?Yep, the pandemic has shown us the convenience of having stuff in the fridge or freezer that we can simply pop in the oven or on the grill.
I'm sold on CostCo products, as the food is usually pretty good and the prices are killer.
In Kirkland branding I highly recommend Brats, Bacon, Steaks, Ground Sirloin, Pork Loin, Kettle Potato Chips, and the huge bag of Tortilla Chips. And don't forget the loss-leader 5 dollar Baked Whole Chicken! That's easily one of their most popular items.
I really, really, have got to start a thread on this; seriously.
(And yes, I will be keeping an eye out for the Lasagna)
Hated spinach as a kid. Now, I long for it, especially warmed up, right out of a can. Can only dream of it, though. Impossible to get where I am at.Husband come home with an abundance of spinach. We had sauteed spinach with lots of garlic, topped with crispy chick peas, over rice.
That's too bad. I hope you have other yummy foods available to you that can make up for your cravings.Hated spinach as a kid. Now, I long for it, especially warmed up, right out of a can. Can only dream of it, though. Impossible to get where I am at.
Your wife seems like a good person, glad she takes good care of you.....hugs to your doggie, wish I could give them in person.We had leftover tortellini that we froze a week or so ago. My wife dressed it up with a carbonara topping that she cooked up in a pan. It was a good use of leftovers, and my ancient dog likes it, too.
Thank you. My wife is awesome, and the doggie girl is old enough to drive if she could see over the steering wheel.Your wife seems like a good person, glad she takes good care of you.....hugs to your doggie, wish I could give them in person.
Can you beam some of that pie over here?"Watching my girlish figure night", as my beloved affectionately refers to it - AKA as "I ain't a cookin' tonight old man, so fend for yourself!" --- Tuna sandwich (plain) on whole wheat bread, salad with a 'lot' of 'stuff' in it, some walnuts and blueberries. Will most certainly mow down the remainder of the homemade lemon merengue pie later on tonight. ( so tangy/tasty I can't help but drool )

I read not too long-ago spinach is a great source for Omega 3. So are walnuts. A large bunch doesn't go very far. I like it in my salads regardless of the type of lettuce I have on hand. I am not a fan of baby spinach. I prefer a more mature leaf and remove the stems because it has so much more flavor. Top that salad with some toasted walnuts and that's a power salad!Husband come home with an abundance of spinach. We had sauteed spinach with lots of garlic, topped with crispy chick peas, over rice.
That sounds delicious. Do you make meatballs or buy them?Today I finally got around to making a pot of Italian Wedding soup with small chicken meatballs. One of the ingredients in the soup is fresh spinach. I had a colander full of fresh spinach where I washed it and removed the stems. When the soup was done the pot comes off the burner. As soon as it stops boiling, I added all the spinach, put the lid on and and it was ready to serve. Delicious.
I make my own and season them the same way as I do those made with ground chuck. The only difference is they are smaller in size.That sounds delicious. Do you make meatballs or buy them?
I had the last of the beef veggie soup and a grilled turkey and swiss on sourdough.
My Italian neighbor taught me to make the meatballs sized with a melon baller (smaller than a walnut). They are delicious but an utter PITA to make 2 dozen for a gallon or so of soup. That is the only thing that stops me from making it more than once a year.I make my own and season them the same way as I do those made with ground chuck.
