What Are You Eating This Week?

Sooner — Sun, 09 Jan 2022 19:50:16 GMT

We have broccoli that needs to be eaten, so that will go with salmon, we have eggplants, one will go with meatballs and sauce, another will be air fryer cooked as breaded sticks to go with burgers.

We also will do a stir fry and make gaba brown rice in the rice cooker, which will also go the next day as a cold grain salad with cherry tomatoes, onions, celery and oil and vinegar dressing with tuna, which we will eat with fruit as a side.

Probably some grits this week too! Maybe shrimp and grits?

What in your house needs to be eaten?

I 'm defrosting a chicken breast , a big one, that .I will stir fry with some broccoli and mushrooms that need to be used. Toward the end of the week, I'll see what's in the fridge that cane be made into soup. It is reall cold here so hearty food is on the menu.

Just had a grand meal of salmon and shrimp...so it's back to a small steak tonight. After that, who knows, don't plan very far ahead - perhaps something Italian.

Salads and fresh veggies fill in around the main menu.

@SharkE I do hope some have fruit centers and some have nuts for fiber. You need a good balanced diet you know!

I have leftover roasted sliced chicken breast and a thigh, fresh asparagus and mushrooms. Am thinking of combining them somehow, not sure.

I cut up fresh okra, yellow squash, potato, and onion. Salted it all and waited for the juices to come out in the vegetables, just a few minutes. Tossed in corn meal. Actually used cornbread mix. Cooked in a large skillet in corn oil until crispy.

Unfortunately, I am on an esophagus-friendly diet, after having a severe bout of esophagitis this past week. I ate a highly-condimented chicken Marsala at Olive Garden, and it was extremely spicy. That, and a martini, made my recurrent symptoms very bad this time around. I cannot eat ANY spicy foods, and alcohol is to be avoided as well. I had a hankering today for popcorn, but looked it up, and it ALSO has to be avoided in case of esophagitis. However, it is heartening to read that people like me can eat very healthy choices, and many of the medical articles that I was reading, pointed this out.

@Free2be Put them with some rice and broth as a sort of casserole, or even as a soup? Make sort of a quick dressing with toasted bread cubes and cornbread if you have it, italian herbs and broth?

@Mayita02 It is good you do have choices. Do you have a vitamix or other blender? Can you make some good soups--especially if the weather is cool! Be well!

Thanks! Actually, some of the articles mention that you can put food in a blender to make it pureed, if the case is severe enough. I think it's called a "soft esophageal diet?"

Make an Alfredo sauce and combine. Serve alone or over rice, pasta, or a substitute.

We need to finish a cold tuna salad, a tortellini casserole and some green beans. Later this week I'll make a meatloaf and scalloped potatoes. Perch dinners would be great on Friday. We haven't been inside a restaurant in quite awhile because Covid isn't taken seriously around here. We have to walk through a bar to get to the dining room of our favorite place so we'll opt for curbside pick up.
