What’s for Dinner Tonight?

I have no idea what DH and the resident 7 year old had for dinner last night; I have what we suspect is norovirus and didn't leave my bedroom, couldn't even contemplate food. Feeling better today but still wrung out, so I'll take it easy. They might get leftover pizza from the weekend, or I'll have DH take the boy to McD's or something. I'm wiped.

Burger is on sale here this week so guess what our dinners will revolve around... once I can contemplate food again, that is!
I hope you feel better soon!
 

We’re doing hot sausage in the crock pot. I will sauté some peppers and onions as my side. DH will insist on his being on a bun. I probably need a side for him and DD—probably some sort of frozen potatoes (tots or fries) or noodles. Neither of them like peppers and onions.
 
A green salad with radish and red onion slices added to it, and baked salmon atop spinach .
Went to Aldi’s today and fell in love with all the fresh fruit available so dessert is a fruit salad made with clementine segments, pear slices, cubed mango, kiwi fruit and blackberries. Dressed it with a bit of honey and mint leaves. Made enough of the fruit that I can have some tomorrow too, yum.

I love a fruit salad. That sounds delicious!

Thank you, my doc told me to start losing weight, freaking sigh, 😝 .

I told her that getting things started with p/t would probably do the trick, hellooo but I’ve an appt with an orthopedic surgeon to see if wrist surgery will allow more arm mobility. Oh and my arm has nothing to do with my demndable leg getting P/T as far as I’m concerned but apparently my insurance company disagrees.

I’m thinking really evil thoughts for both professions….oops.

You're a good patient. Fingers crossed that the surgery will be the solution.

@leebee. I hope you're feeling better.

I will be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping this surgery will allow for more mobility.

Health insurance companies ☹️
 
Basically, ground beef mixed with uncooked rice, some minced onion, salt & pepper, rolled into meatballs, and put in the pressure cooker with tomato soup and a little water.



This is basically Grandma's recipe: Porcupine meatballs - allrecipes.com, though she called for half the rice, and the same amount of pepper as salt. We've always made them in a pressure cooker. The recipe I have calls for 10 min at 15 lbs, let the pressure come down on it's own; or 15 min at 15 lbs, and release the pressure right away. I put them in the Instant pot on normal pressure for 15 minutes, and usually release the pressure manually.

They're definitely comfort food in our family. Sometimes served over mashed potatoes (mmmmmm!).
Aww...thanks for this. :lovestruc My Dmom used to make porcupines and they looked just like that. Good memories! I miss you, Mom. :littleangel:

We're having beef stroganoff tonight. I was away on business a week ago so I suspended our Hello Fresh order. That means I'm back to meal planning and shopping, and using the chance to make some of DH's favorites from scratch.
