1. Cher, you always

offer tempting food menus. I am jealous.

2. Cheeseburgers

FLFC heartily approves this menu.

Fresh ground beef from the butcher for the burgers. Several cheese choices. I'm leaning towards pepper jack.

Likely sides
Oven fried potato wedges
Veggie TBD, something from the freezer.

FLFC and TJ are sleeping. I hope they get up soon, I'm hungry.

4. We're having the same thing! I have brioche buns in the oven now, going to have the burgers with

pepper jack and some crinkle fries. Also made s'mores chocolate chip cookies earlier so maybe a couple of those for dessert.

3. I'm thinking sloppy joes

Using ground chicken as the base. Off to look for a recipe.

5. I guess you could call it chicken stew

but the only chicken I have is some drumsticks.

So I browned the skin-on chicken first then removed it from the pan, added some chopped onions and some minced garlic to the pan to soften, and then made a pan gravy using chicken broth and poultry gravy mix (I added some sage, rosemary and a bay leaf). Then I put the chicken back in the pan and let it finish cooking (covered). I added some frozen peas and carrots near the end.

Served it all w/ some mashed potatoes.

Tasty enough.

There still may be a bit of bread pudding left. If my guy doesn't it get to it first, I'll have it.

6. salmon, asparagus, and probably turnips

made a big salad too, but that might be too much vegetable matter, not sure. leaning towards roasting the mains. it is kind of cold today and running the oven sounds nice.

7. Pasta

Spaghetti with a sausage & peppers sauce.

Mixed green salad. Garlic bread.

A tiny bit of spumoni.

Annisette.

9. Random stir fry

Broccoli, carrots, and tofu seasoned with garlic, chili oil, soy, and sesame oil. I like those pre-cubed packages of tofu for a quick protein to add to a stir fry. Served with medium-grain rice. Lots of leftovers because I was just cooking for myself tonight.

10. Twice stuffed potatoes with bacon, cheese and sauted shrimp

11. Potstickers

Pork i think - from the freezer. I started them in seseme oil and then added coconut vinegar, soy sauce and a little water to the pan. Let this all boil out and slightly brown the bottoms of the potstickers. So yummy.

Spinach salad with cukes, broc and onion. Finished with walnuts. Had a shitake and sesame dressing and also sprinkled some coconut vinegar on the greens.
