Pooky1 — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 23:44:38 GMT

Good evening everyone and happy New Years Eve and have a have new years day everyone. I'm starting the year early. For breakfast I made a pan of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and Anna made pasta with meatballs, string bean and potato salad, broccoli, salad, chicken parmesan, mashed potatoes and probably more. Tonight we just had nachos with cooked chicken, olives, chick peas and Ria made a cheddar cheese sauce. Really good. Ria took all Christmas decorations down and I took them all down cellar and I took up 2 bins of Valentine's decorations and the 6 foot pink tree. Ria has 3 days off so she's getting Alot done. Ave a great new years everyone.

We just returned home from a weekend at my sister's home celebrating with her family. I really enjoy spending time with my nieces' and nephew's families. One of my nieces has a little farm and they raise a couple of hogs every year for butchering. We were gifted with some of their bacon. It's so good!

I used up just about everything in the fridge before we left except for some cheese, a few slices of salami, a few eggs, some berries, yogurt, etc. We're making do with that for today and will restock tomorrow.

I made a big breakfast today. Eating some leftovers for dinner. Need a fresh trip to the grocery store. I'm mad that I forgot about a huge container of spring mix I just tossed. I don't like to waste....hoping everyone has a happy and blessed 2024.

We have some sliders and dip and some veggies left over from a small celebration yesterday with family.

Happy New Year to all the foodies here! These menus sound just delicious. Thank you for starting us off so faithfully @Pooky1. Your family has a great jump on Valentine's Day. I love that holiday 💕!

Picked up some salads tonite. We had the Southwest Chicken Salads. Very refreshing and light. Perfect for the New Year & leading into healthier eating here.

Have a nice evening!

I'm still recovering from the weekend. I fell asleep while watching tv lastnight. This morning, DH said I was out hard. I still feel kind of wiped out. It seems I'm not bouncing back as easily as when I was younger. Fortunately we still have stuff to pick from the fridge. And guess what? I found a Chicken Bacon Ranch Caserole in the freezer that was supposed to go to DS but got overlooked. That's lunch tomorrow and Thursday and we will really do a shopping trip Thursday afternoon.

I had my second gum graft (the first was in June) this morning. I will be on a soft food diet for the next 6 weeks. Also since the graft was on a lower front tooth I can't bite through foods with my front teeth. For the next 48 hours I can't have anything hot so tonight I am having tuna salad and DH is going to get me some coffee ice cream.

I was supposed to go to work tomorrow but I have to ice and take pain medication regularly for the next 48 hours so I will go back Thursday.

@ninjawife

I'm sorry you have to endure that, but it is sweet that your DH is going to get you your favorite ice cream.

Feel better soon.

I made teriyaki chicken, white rice and broccoli.
@Pooky1 yes thank you for starting this month.

@ninjawife I hope the time goes quick for you. I'm not sure I could eat soft foods. But I could do the ice cream.

Another grey blah day here. I can take the cold but sure would love to see the sun.

Have a good evening everyone.

I am feeling pretty good. Much better than when I had the last graft done. This one was a smaller graft. I am swollen but no brusing as I was told to expect. Still can't have hot foods. Yogurt for breakfast, White bean salad for lunch and tuna salad for dinner. I still have some ice cream as well.

Stir fried chicken with carrots, broccoli, onion & pineapple chunks. Sprinkling in cashews & served over brown rice. I have a bottled sweet & sour sauce to mix in.

I am working on planning menus before heading to the grocery. Our ads come out today. Hopefully they might provide some inspiration! A bit tired of cooking!

Have a good evening. Cold & wind chills but better than how it could be this time of year.

Wishing @ninjawife to feel better soon.
