We're having rotisserie chicken, mac and cheese, and green beans. I've been trying to make foods that will be easy for my pregnant granddaughter to handle. The poor girl is just 13 weeks along and having a hard time keeping anything down.
I'm visiting my sister for 3 nights. We often go out for supper, but she made chicken leek barley mushroom soup before going to work this morning. If we don't eat that tonight, I suspect it'll be on the menu SOME night this week!
Ran errands all morning then had a few friends over this afternoon. When everyone left I was tired so we reheated Chinese food. It was not a s good reheated but it was one less thing in the fridge.
Crazy weather here today it got to 58 and was sunny. People were sitting on our patio in Tshirts and now it’s we are getting flurries.
Pulled out my Mom’s Singer Stylist and talked one of my nieces through its maintenance which was very nice of her. Then talked a friend through sewing casement curtains for her front door.
When we were finished, the three of us watched Kiva Brent home decoratingYouTubes and ate a Rao’s meat lovers pizza with an antipasto salad on the side. A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon magically disappeared.
Yesterday I went to a friend’s house. The group of four of us worked together a few years ago and we try to get together every month or two. She ordered grandma pizza, had a charcuterie platter and some desserts. I made grapefruit margaritas and coconut margaritas at home, bottled them up and brought them over to her house.
Today, dd and I drove a couple of hours to NJ for my niece’s baby shower. It was an Italian themed party as she’s “having a little meatball.” They had baked ziti, meatballs, eggplant parm heros, veggie heros, caprese skewers, etc. Everything was delicious.
Two days of gatherings. Now I’m ready for a quiet Sunday.
We're traveling today & decided to stop for dinner at the Harland Sanders Cafe & Museum (site of the original KFC), because we're silly like that. The food was typical for a KFC, but the museum was worth the stopover.
My 16 month old grandson is overnight this weekend, so he gets his favorite GiGi dinner…Roasted split chicken breasts, cream cheese masked potatoes & butter green beans.
Hope that everyone is having a great weekend! Love to see what everyone is eating for dinner!
Today is family lunch day so dinner will be leftovers from that.
DD chose sandwiches, so turkey, salami and pastrami.
Pepperjack cheese, Cheddar, Provolone and Swiss.
Several kinds of chips.
Blackberries, strawberries, grapes and golden dragon fruit.
Cookies and Zebra popcorn for dessert
I bought a head of orange cauliflower earlier in the week, solely because it looked quite fresh and intrigued me. So far about half of it has been used in stir fry and soup so there is still a lot left. Decided to give cauliflower steak a run as I’ve never made it although the idea sounds good. Think I’ve everything needed to make cauliflower piccata but a quick check of the fridge will tell the tale. Really want to “eat down” my provisions and not spend money at any store. We’ll see.
We don’t cook on Saturdays
Last night we went to see our friend’s band at a local restaurant. I wasn’t very hungry so I had a Cesar salad and buffalo chicken tenders. DH had a haddock and shrimp Mozambique dish.
Saturday night at my sister's ended up being chicken barley mushroom soup and it was wonderful! She also made bread pudding for dessert.
Today we went out for lunch at Al's Seafood in Hampton, NH and shared fried clams and scallops with onion rings. Dinner tonight will be charcuterie and crackers, maybe some leftover soup. Neither of us is terribly hungry.
We're visiting DS for a few days, so we get home cooked meals for a change. I'm making bagged Pear & Gorgonzola salad, baked 3 cheese Ravioli & garlic bread.
