What’s for Dinner Tonight?

Sloppy joes tonight.

Going to Rainforest for lunch, not sure about dinner yet.
Last night ended up being chili topped with cheese.

I think the snow is finally ending. We still have light flurries. I can’t remember the last time we had multiple days of snow. It was nice it fell over the weekend. DH is digging us out I’ll need to run out later for gas.

Enjoying my last day of the long weekend and the snow by making and canning a batch of sauce. I can the tomatoes from my garden then reprocess some into sauce. Making 12 jars. It smells delicious in here!

Had unexpected company Saturday.
A neighbor, lost her keys and phone so we hung out together until everything was resolved as much as it could be on a snowy weekend. Good thing she was here since she took my mind off other matters like the new weekend home attendant who doesn’t know how to make up a bed or clean a sink . I know I’m picky but this one was scaryyyyyy.
Parents, please ensure that your children know these life skills before sending them out into the world - stepping off my soapbox now .

Nabe and I ate some black bean soup from the freezer and I added a piece of kielbasa to it.

We “decimated” the clementines and nuts throughout the day so no dessert.


Last night, I made pasta fagioli using pantry goods, some ham and almost the end of the fridge leftovers. Still need to use up some butter leaf lettuce that I forgot about earlier this week but maybe I’ll use it today and that’ll be the end of that.

Got to our place around sunset and took a quick trip to the store to get a few items for dinner last night. Made a salad and grilled some fresh snapper. My husband was like a little kid when he saw Gulf as we were landing yesterday.

Need to make a list of our favorite eats around here and get to shopping!

Happy Monday!

Tonight is Pork and sauerkraut in the crockpot
Sauerkraut has great amounts of Vit K2 to support bone health.

Yesterday (Sunday) we went to a pub to catch the football game at halftime- YAY PATS!- so ate there. DH had brisket tacos and I had a cheese steak sub. He ate all of his, I ate about 1/3rd of mine. It was OK but not worth taking home leftovers.

I made a pot of chicken broth on Saturday which will morph into something for supper tonight. Maybe just chicken soup. It's been lightly snowing pretty much non-stop since Saturday. I can't tell how much we've had overall- maybe 10"? All I know is that DH periodically goes out to shovel. Since his shoulder surgery he'd rather shovel smaller amounts more frequently than do one big, heavy shoveling.

Ate part of a huge Chop Salad at Rainforest
It's cold here at WDW.....tomorrow too, and then should warm up.
I couldn't feel my toes, nose or hands for awhile.

I think dinner will be some soup tonight.....not sure what kind yet.

What meal kit companies have you tried and do you have any preferences/recommendations?

We’ve tried a lot of different ones over the years, going back to Covid shutdown time. We often rotate through companies, depending on deals with the sites or with our credit card company. Here’s the ones I can think of (and my thoughts):

Hello Fresh: Good selections plus was offering a free item (e.g. dessert or appetizer) with every box ordered. Got pretty pricey lately (about $50 a meal kit for 4 people)

Home Chef: Decent meals, albeit not the most creative.

Blue Apron: One of the originals, but mostly pretty basic meals, nothing I couldn’t make on my own with ingredients I usually had around the house.

Sunbasket: Really liked this one. Big emphasis on fresh ingredients and things like whole grains and organic products. Our boys weren’t a big fan, so we only did this for the year they were both away at college and it was just my wife and I.

Green Chef: Only tried this recently for a couple meals, but they were pretty good. Would try them again if I get a good deal to come back.

Gobble: First box coming tomorrow, so I’ll let you know . Had a great deal with the site and our credit card company so the box coming this week (2 meals / 4 servings) was only like $50.

Cook Unity: Tried this one time when I had a $30 off deal. These were premade, single serving meals, most inspired by famous chefs. Pretty good, but wouldn’t have been worth it at full price.

Made and canned 12 jars of sauce. That will make for some easy week day meals.

I have granola in the oven now. That will be my lunch with yogurt and some fruit at work this week.

Tonight we are having meatball subs and baked potatoes - warm and cozy for our last night of the long weekend and bitter cold temps this week.

Last night, we finished the salad that was leftover from Saturday night. After eating that, we only had room for one slice of pizza each. So, we'll be having pizza again tonight. I'll probably serve some carrots, celery & blue cheese dip with it.

 

[LoveDaisy]

I tried a new to me recipe Marry me bean skillet. It was fine. We both thought it was a little bland. If I made it again I’d add more everything; spices, garlic, onions, etc.

Granola turned out great.

DW, you know the one that works at the bank, just got word they have to work until 7:30 tonight. So I guess I’m on my own tonight. Not sure what I’ll do. I may just grab a sandwich,

DW, you know the one that works at the bank, just got word they have to work until 7:39 tonight. So I guess I’m on my own tonight. Not directed I’ll do/ may just grab a sandwich,

My bank wasn’t even open today. Hopefully she’ll get OT.

Pulled a pork tenderloin and 1/4 of roasted chicky out the freezer this morning so at least that decision is made. Now I can decide overnight what to do with them.

Tonight decided to have stuffed shells with chicken breast slices poached in water, herbs and white wine. The shells were already stuffed with spinach and ricotta and the breast was already sliced so I just simmered them gently which defrosted the meat w/o it seizing up and getting tough. When the meat was cooked enough I just mixed it with some Rao’s and baked with the shells. Interesting technique and hopefully I’ll remember it for another time, lol. Oh and I added a bit of heavy cream to the sauce to mellow it out. The 4 cheese version is too sharp to me.
Made a kale and onion salad w/ lemon vinaigrette as a side and a dish of lemon sorbet for dessert.

take out burritos from Bueno Y Sano

Quick dinner tonight - broiled tilapia, rice and salad.

 

[dizneegirl]

Salt & pepper pork rinds and a few pepperoni slices.

Had a late lunch, and wasn't really hungry.

My bank wasn’t even open today. Hopefully she’ll get OT.

Theirs wasn't open, either. They were training on new software they're installing. They worked from 8-5, however, they were given the option to stay later as the new program didn't upload until 4:30. DW and her boss were the only ones to stay late, and she worked until 7:30. They gave them the option of holiday pay or an extra paid day off that had to be taken within 90 days. However, February is completely blacked out because that's when the new system will going live. So she opted for the holiday pay in addition to her regular pay. So she basically worked 21 hours today.
