I think we will be having the last of the Rana Lobster Ravioli that I got from Costco.  I froze one half of one of the packages.  I make a simple lemon butter sauce to put on it.  

Probably a tossed lettuce salad to go with.  It is really hot and humid here in Central Illinois.

Oh my  goodness - is this the July 2020 thread? Did I miss the time already gone. 

Well guess I will say howdy to everyone and keep looking to make sure this is the right thread - for sure I will be back tomorrow - where is everyone else?

So relieved to see a post from @Winifred!  I was concerned that she may have been ill.

Today I will be making a chicken dinner in my slow cooker. I use chicken thighs and potatoes,carrots,onions,and throw in some cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup. Four hours later,I have a good meal.

A good week-end to all.

It is a beautiful day here in Central Illinois.  Had a storm last night, but no damage, and lots of rain which we really needed.  We decided to make the trip to our favorite local farm to get some veggies.

Tonight we are having beautiful green beans, just picked this morning, with onion and little new potatoes.  I add some chopped turkey bacon and cook it all in beef broth.  Love this so much.  

I also got some tomatoes and zucchini.

As a child I remember having fresh green beans or kale cooked with new potatoes in a pot. Bacon grease for flavoring. So now I never use bacon grease, and still eat all the veggies but not cooked together. Ah me, times have changed.

Just had my cinnamon bagel with raisins and cream cheese spread over it for breakfast. Water is on the lilac bushes and then will perhaps collapse. Temps suppose to be at 107 today - going to be miserable. It was horrible yesterday and temps were not quite that high. Ugh. Every time I just walk outside I come back in soaking wet.

Not sure what food is going to be on the table. Sure wish the restaurants were open - that would be so easy but I cannot sit out in this weather and eat.  Surely I will have figured out what for dinner in the next 5 or 6 or 7 hours. LOL

Have a great day everyone

Our Sunday dinner was stuffed peppers, mashed potatoes and corn.   Everyone seemed to enjoy the peppers.  

Dessert was a warm brownie, with marshmallows and peanut butter chips added to the batter.   Sure made my taste buds happy!

Mr 4kitties got out our margarita machine this afternoon and made frozen margaritas.  We also snacked on chips with guacamole and some Mateo's salsa.  I rarely drink, but his margaritas are sooo good!

We really were not very hungry so we just had some pasta salad that I had made for lunch.
