We did a bunch of yard work today to start prepping for fall. We ended up running out for a late lunch and had Mexican. It was delicious!

I did get the fall display set up in front of the house. I managed to use a million pumpkins

Somehow got it into my head that I had to go to Stew Leonard’s this morning and so I did. Had no idea what the procedure was for getting on a Metro North train and somewhat peeved the conductor but he was on the money when I got off in Yonkers so all was well.

Many changes since I was last there but still decent prices on the goods I wanted. Tried to focus my buying but somehow apple cider donuts and veal scaloppine fell into my cart-wonder who put them there?

My home attendant has apparently fallen under my spell so she bought a turkey for the holiday season. She left it in my fridge overnight and we’ll spatchcock it tomorrow and then she can freeze it for later use and take it home.

You have no idea how normal this felt going to the supermarket; just enjoy what you’ve got when you have it.

I bought a ground chicken Parm meatloaf in the prepared food aisle and that became dinner with carrots and string beans. A portion of a store bought fruit salad became dessert. Read an article in today’s Times that reminded me to eat more fruit so trying.

I love Stew Leonard’s! I mix up my grocery shopping locations and go about once a month. The apple cider donuts usually fall in my cart this time of year too! I might have to put it in the list for next weekend!

Chicken pot pie with rice tonight. I’m back to working on the very full freezer. Using half a roasted and frozen chicken and a half bag of frozen corn and a half bag of frozen peas.

I know, isn’t it fun?! We used to go about once a month as well and take DGD after school; she never saw a supermarket so large before and all the silly kid friendly animatronic exhibits. One of the owners went to uni with Bob Iger and I think it rubbed off, lol.
Planning to return the start of December and can’t wait .

Spent the day playing with a new toy: an Anova vacuum sealer. Packaged new purchases and items already frozen. Great way to increase space in the chest freezer. After I finished didn’t feel like cooking so I reheated tikka masala chicken with cauliflower (again), steamed carrots and zucchini.

Sloppy Joes with chips and dip tonight. My grandkids love it and it's an easy fix.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Making chili as I type and most of it will go in the freezer but some will get eaten today for dinner.

I made this the other night and it was very good -- https://joanne-eatswellwithothers.c...n-caribbean-pelau-with-beans-and-spinach.html

Lastnight was this -- https://www.hellofresh.com/recipes/tex-mex-turkey-stuffed-peppers-61952b11e28fc13f6049f13b

I don't subscribe to HelloFresh any more but kept all of the recipe cards that I liked and occasionally make. The other two that I make frequently is their "Louisiana-style" Tilapia and their Firecracker Meatballs which is a favorite of the kids.

Tonight I pulled out from the freezer some Argentinian red shrimp with ginger, garlic butter and togarashi style seasoning from Trader Joe’s. I made linguine, added a little extra butter, pasta water, and parm cheese and finished cooking the linguine in the shrimp pan with the ‘sauce’. It was surprisingly good and had a little kick.

@LovesDaisy @NYCgrrl I love Stew Leonards too! We don't have any here in Maine, but DD used to live in Connecticut; we'd go to Stew's every time I went to visit!

I made chicken noodle soup w/carrots, celery, and onion for dinner tonight. I made the stock about a month ago as my freezer was getting to full of "garbage" (roast chicken bones and veggie scraps) so it went together quickly. I picked up a chicken breast that was on clearance at the small market up the street so we'd have freshly-simmered meat for the soup, and heated up some leftover angel hair pasta instead of noodles. Big pot 'o soup, noodles and chicken optional, a loaf of sourdough, and salad rounded out the meal.

No idea,,,,just got home from vacation last night.
I need to go to the grocery store.....something else for sure

 

[NYCgrrl]

Brined a couple of thick pork chops last night using star anise as the prominent seasoning. So tonight it’s smothered pork chops, grits, and tangled ribbons of steamed Swiss chard, mustard greens, radish tops and spinach on the side. No rhyme or reason to the veggie; just seemed they would work together and boy did they ever. I hope I remember to make this another time.

Tonight was Swedish meatballs over egg noodles with a green salad. I’m not even making a dent in the freezer.

Come colder weather you’ll be so happy for the fullness and sad to see your stocks recede. We’re just never happy, are we?

Once again, I've got a lot of catching up to do. My sisters visited us last week. The county they live in was devastated by Helene, so they're still there. When they finally got to speak to their families, they all told them not to come home. Alas, we had to hit the road again & leave them behind. At least, they have hot food, electricity & running water, which they wouldn't have at home. I'll try to come back later to post what we had last week, but this week, we've had:

Sunday -Burgers & fries w/ my sisters. DH & I shared a burger & added a burrata salad.
Monday - We shared a steak sandwich. DH had fries. I got a side of potato salad.
Last night - We had calamari & clam chowder.

DH is sick & trying to work, so we've been getting takeout. Tonight, is yet to be determined. Hopefully, he'll feel up to going out.

If I was able, I'd volunteer to be your attendant, just for the cooking tips.

I've never seen a Stew Leonard's. If I did, I probably wouldn't have connected the name with a grocery store. Now, I'm intrigued. I'm going to look for one, while we're up north.

No cooking for me tonight, my DH and I are going to one of our favorite diners for their special tonight, stuffed cabbage. YUM

How did you prepare the greens?
