Re: What's Cooking in April 2020?

[ Edited ]

goodness  - it got really warm and humid today. Yikes. Not easy to get out in this mess with a mask, oxygen hose and move around - had to go to the store and I was worn out. I have never had to use the oxygen in hot weather - no fun at all - I sure do now. And to think it is only April. Yikes!

 

Shortly will head to bed - am tired. Davey chose a frozen dinner and he has a Gatorade and is happy - works for me too. I warmed up some of my turkey breast, mashed potatoes and buttered  baby carrots I fixed last night

 

Sleep well everyone!

Made homemade sweet potato hash and veggie omelets for a couple of meals prep.  Still hitting the salads hard.  May try and make my own dressings shortly.  We'll see.

Re: What's Cooking in April 2020?

good evening everyone. partly sunny in the high 50s. yestauday ria made nacho chips baked with shreded cheddar, creamy cheddar spread,chicpeas and sliced olives and today she made pasta with a sauce made with quite a bit of butter, diced canned tomatoes, chopped up carrots and celery. once it cooks and everything is tender she puts it in a food processer and processes it to smooth and it goes back on stove and she adds heavy creme and cooks it like 10 more minutes and puts it over pasta. its very good and nachos were to. hope everyone has a good safe week.

Re: What's Cooking in April 2020?

Just got back here - computer went to shop Sat. morning. Have no clue what was wrong but it sure stopped working for the most part, I know, you did not even know I was gone. LOL

 

Last night fixed some chicken breasts with veggies and tossed some barbecue dressing on it right before ready to eat. Really good.

 

Horribly hot yesterday  - I was miserable. 96 degrees. Not ready for those temps and also muggy as all get out.

 

Hope all have a great day!

Well the ribs I ate a week ago did me in.I bit into one and my front tooth is now gone.I had a root canal many years ago so I am not in pain.This is not considered an emergency so have to wait until June first to go to dentist.I am sure it won't be cheap.At least I am not going out and when I do I wear a mask LOL

 

Hope you are all well and having a good week.

Hellie, sorry to read about your tooth problem. Long time to wait to have it taken care of - times have changed for sure these days. Nothing more miserable  - to me anyway - then tooth problem. Had my share of them.

 

Hope I have the energy to fix something for dinner - getting very difficult these days. My health, the horrible heat all of a sudden and the masks which drive me insane are a bit much. Surely will come up with something.

 

Have a great day everyone

Re: What's Cooking in April 2020?

A few nights ago, I made a traditional Costa Rican dish called gallo pinto. It's made with black beans, rice, garlic, bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and a sauce called Lizano sauce. It takes two days to prepare because the black beans need to sit overnight, and the rice is best cooked a day in advance. 

 

It's so simple to prepare, and so delicious.Yum!😋
