Marinated chicken slices over garlic mashed potato's, green peas and berries over angel food cake and a dabble of whipped creme

Repeat of last night's salad plus pumpkin ravioli with a walnut cream sauce and Pinot Grigio (a little in the sauce, a lot in the cook).

Turkey burger, coleslaw.......cooking at home.

Chili and cornbread. This week it has finally started to get cold enough to make chili.

I made mock mashed potato's...one head cauliflower, one red large potato boil and add to blender, salt pepper, almond milk 1 pat butter....not bad, very light tasting, low in calories, low in carbs.....broiled chicken with skin on.

Live consciously....

Crispy baked fish, mashed potatoes, steamed fresh spinach with lemon butter.

Irene,

I've done the mashed cauliflower before and added some sour cream to it. Yummy.

I wished i thought of that...Trader Joe's has cauliflower for .49 a head, may run down and get another...will try with sour creme.

I'm trying a new recipe tonight - Spaghetti Squash lasagna where the squash is the noodles.

My friend used to make that, I've never had it..let us know....low carbs, a good thing.

Lucille's BBQ, late lunch will be dinner...ribs and chicken, mashed potato's, small dinner salad. No cooking, no dishes, nice and easy.

Live consciously....

Veggie dogs, baked beans, and waldorf salad... We'll pretend it's still summer weather tonight

Homemade chili, cheddar and onion on top, corn chips on side. I add in vinegar peppers chopped at the end, husband loves them.

Walesmaven, Do you make your own Mu Su Pork? Do you use Won Ton wraps?
I have made ravioli with Won Ton wraps, so easy, delicious!

Here is my favorite use for wonton wrappers

Ooooh...They would go so good with a spiked mocha latte...Week off from work. Woo hoo!

Leftover chicken from my job, making my cauliflower mashed potato's adding sour creme....trying to bake a banana loaf..(I'm a lousy baker) adding applesauce for sweetness, any tips? Just bought an old favorite for dessert, bottle of chocolate and red wine, "Europa ChocoVine"......used to love it just saw it at our fabulous .99 store.

For Mu Shu pancakes I use very thin flour tortillas. They are much more like the Chinese pancakes that come from the local restaurants that deliver. Yes, I make the pork in the slow cooker (see below). I buy a cabbage mix add shredded carrots and saute that in a little oil plus toasted sesame seed oil, garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce. Once it is hot and wilted, stir in 2 well beaten eggs. Combine with the shredded pork.

Slow cook about 2 lbs pork loin with 2-4 TBSP soy sauce, garlic, 1/4 cup white wine, 1/2 - 1 cup hoison sauce. On low for about 10 hours. Shred and mix well with the juices. Combine with the veggie mix. I make stacked instead of rolled pancakes.

Spread a small flour tortilla with hoisin sauce, spoon on a layer of the mix, add another tortilla, sacue, mix, rinse and repeat. This will fit nicely into a small round covered casserole. Heat until bubbly, slice and serve. In hot weather is is wonderful just served cold. I usually have a side of fresh melon and/or pineapple chunks.

Tonight is a fall meal even though the weather is only quasi-autumnal. Roasted sausages and grapes over polenta with apple blossoms and vanilla ice cream dessert. The meal plan was based on having only an hour to get it on the table, possible only with a few of my favorite hacks, along with part of the meal requiring an oven. The sausages and grapes are roasted then the apple blossoms are baked. Did I mention my new ovens were installed yesterday

I love cauliflower, but not as pizza crust or riced, I have had grilled and/or baked cauliflower steaks (thick-sliced) which are yummy.

Tonight, we had Grilled Tuna and broccolini. Dessert, was grilled peaches topped with fresh berries.

Tonight will be chickpea salad sandwiches. I might pick up some tater tots to go with the sandwiches.

Last night: braised beef with wine, carrots and mushrooms, served with mashed potatoes (and a little red wine in a glass). Tonight, room service on a hotel shop less than 5 miles from home (where I will earn double rewards points for all stays through the end of this year!). This place has good food! Taking a good book to read with dinner and afterwards. (Between check-in and dinner, I will do 90 percent of my hotel observations and write the reports for the 2 shops that I will have done on the way to the hotel. So, I will have a restful evening. Between breakfast and check out I will write 90 percent of the hotel report. After checkout, 2 more shops on the way home. Ten minutes at home to finish hotel report and upload last pictures. Then, a mostly free afternoon at home. The two garage reports are not due for 24 hours and can be done in 20 minutes flat in the morning.

Sorry for the long post, but this also pertains to why hotel shops with modest or no fee, can be useful AND relaxing.

"Taco Tuesday" salad at Rio Cafe, late lunch, no dinner just a yogurt...balancing my eating crazy for last week.
This place has a woman that stands all day making fresh handmade tortilla's, both flour and corn, small and large, the best.

Chickpea patties for dinner tonight. One of my son's favorites.

I am going to marinate and broil a large rib eye steak (holding some for "planned overs"

to have with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach.
