Eat at home 2!

[purpledisneyprncess]

Going to work my way backwards as I'm having a hard time remembering what we all ate-- DS and DH (He coaches him) don't get home from football practice till late in the evening so we've all been eating different foods, lol.

Last night- I had to work late so I bought a salad. My DD ate baked chicken and potatoes and my son had that as well when he got home from practice. DH opted for an Arabic dish, a falafel sandwich. My dad goes to the ethnic grocery stores and buys the frozen falafels- they are very tasty! So with the exception of me buying that salad, the rest of the fam ate in.

Sunday we had Chili leftovers & Spinach Pies.
Saturday was Chili.
Friday I really can't remember. Will ask DH later as it's bothering me.

Tonight we are having spaghetti and a veggie.

I really need to join you! I have a pantry, refrigerator, cabinets and freezer full of food! We have got to eat some and get it gone or it will go to waste.

Tonight we are having a concoction my husband thinks will work - pasta with alfredo sauce, ham and peas. We will also have some garlic bread.

Can someone come and cook me dinner? Benadryl makes it hard to want to get up and do it. I have not had anything to each since lunch. Not really hungry but know I SHOULD eat something. But... so far away!

Tonight we are having a spin off of BLT's. We were blessed with a huge bag of restaurant quality ham slices like the type for breakfast items. We are frying the ham and doing HLT's. I think we will also have marinated cucumbers.

Well it's 2:30 and I have no idea what we'll have for dinner. I think maybe breakfast for dinner. I'm really tired from taking our puppy out all night long so I want something quick and easy.
However..
I need to make a menu for vacation. We leave for the cottage on Saturday and we'll be there for 8 nights. The only way in to the cottage is boat access since it's on an island, and from the launch it's about another 20 minute drive to the nearest grocery store. So I need to have my menus planned so it doesn't turn into a 45 minute trip because I forgot one thing

I will work on a menu and come back to post it.

Tonight I'm making garden burgers. Light and quick!! The kids want buttered pasta. Spinach for a veggie.

) I started to have a reaction. Just moderate (nausea, issues breathing, tingling of the lips and tongues, but no swelling of the tongue or throat thankfully).
.

Allergic reactions are no fun! I hope everything is better? I am allergic to lobster. I never want that reaction again. I was out of commission for a whole week and swollen bigger than a Macy's balloon!

I start school again next Thursday. Classes will be Tuesday, Thursday, and Sat. Crock pot meals are in my future!
Tonight we are having empanadas again. I am stuffing them with ground beef again but am using shortening instead of butter this time and also green olives.

It stinks. Still really worn out. Just tired and not feeling 100%. I have to keep an eye on my heart rate based off of the meds I am on. Many of them can cause an increase in the rate so I have to be sure it doesn't get too high. Now I am getting seasonal allergies on top of it. I have heard that this feeling can hold on for a few days so hopefully I might get "normal" soon.

Oh, and the Benedryl really kicks my butt. I only take 1 during the day and then take 2 at night. Even with only 1 I have trouble getting up to do anything. But it is better then sitting here miserable. Also, some of the meds make me not hungry. All I have had today was a piece of toast at 8:30am, a sprite I have been sipping on all day, and I am JUST now getting hungry again (4:15pm).

Tonight will be hot dogs and mac and cheese. I am tired and it sounds good so I think I might actually eat it.

Peanut Butter fudge brought from home

Friday: French bread from Publix

roasted green beans
chocolate cake w/red velvet ice cream

Saturday: left over French bread
goat cheese & basil tortilla sandwiches
baby back ribs in the crockpot
homemade mac & cheese bake
fried okra
red velvet cupcakes

We ate out the rest of the time. I still have some appetizer recipes from recommendations I received here to try next time, but that's as far as my planning has gotten. I'm looking forward to seeing your menu.

I saw a poster was making homemade pierogies - I am impressed! They are so difficult to make, they were a staple with I was growing up and went to my grandmother's house who was from the Ukraine. Thanks for bringing back the memories

Aww, yay! We love them - so I do a big batch and freeze --- they aren't too hard, but they are time consuming. Worth the effort though!

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Can you tell me how you make your burrito bowls? My dd loves Chipotle, but I don't. If I could make it for her then maybe she will stay off my back about going all the time.
