Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
newbie,
It is hard to scale back after cooking larger quantities of food.
I love coffee and coconut ice cream. Especially, coffee because I love coffee. I only eat ice cream once in a blue moon.
I do have fond childhood memories of making homemade ice cream with my grandparents. They had the hand crank ice cream machine. So delicious!
That’s what my daughters keep telling me also.
How often do you use yours? My daughter says that she uses hers several times a week.
My daughter offered to let me try hers to see if I like it.
I'm home today so did some cooking.
@NHWM
I have an air-fryer and I like it. It sure beats heating the oven in this heat and it's great for cooking small batches of something.
I don’t have an air fryer. My daughters love their air fryers. I have an instapot and a crockpot but so far no air fryer.
I can see how the dog went crazy for his special treats!
When rendering fat, there will be solids left. I left a bit more meat on them as I knew she would be happier with that. I took the solids and just popped them into my air fryer for 10 minutes to get them crispy. They aren't a baked treat.
Cwillie,
I had a few and they were yummy. lol But, I didn't nose dive.
Tonight I'm having a salad and maybe some strawberry shortcake for dessert.
I have been wanting to bake some dog treats for my daughter’s dog. I saw a recipe that uses peanut butter. It looked easy and I think my grand dog would like it.
How do you make the crackling? Is it easy?
Danni..the Dog...did a nose dive of happiness into the living room rug. lol
Tonight, I'll just make a simple hamburger casserole.
I won’t be home later, going to see a friend who is leaving rehab after her stroke. She’s moving far away to be near her son. I will miss her not living as close to me and won’t be able to visit her as much after she moves.
I made my Italian husband Italian sausage with onions, peppers and sauce with pasta.
Stay cool, friends.
Yes, it is hard to cook a small amount when we are used to cooking larger quantities. I find that I will sometimes still cook larger portions and then freeze in single serving portions.
Bought some Shepard pie and asparagus
I love buying fresh fruits and vegetables from our local farmers markets. I also love buying the eggs, preserves, pepper jellies, pickles and herbs.
Hubby is a sweetheart and made our breakfast today, eggs and toast!
