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.
Mom is sleeping away about 20 hours a day. She hates stew.
When she's up, all that she wants is ice cream, pudding, or pumpkin butter toast dunked in hot chocolate.
I am glad that the potatoes were a hit. I am still amazed at how much richness and flavor they have.
I did 6 servings for the 2 of us, leftovers yeah!
You have awesome grandkids that cook for you. It's refreshing to hear about what a functional family does for one another.
I am so going to try the broccoli- cheese-chicken- patties idea. That sounds delicious.
I've made meatloaf with ground chicken and it was pretty good. Never with the broccoli and cheese though. I will try that.
Tonight it's lasagne because I had homemade sauce in the freezer.
Off to look at recipes!

Rice was for pudding, and pasta was just something you used in tuna casseroles or spaghetti in a can. It wasn't until the mid to late 70's that Italian and Asian recipes began to feature more prominently in the local cuisine.
I never cook all the texture out of my potatoes for mashing, I need to know they aren't flakes. :-)
The recipe is on cdkitchen.com and offers a variable servings option.
I have a physically big man that eats lots of potatoes too.
For some silly reason I pictured a family rolling giant potatoes into their kitchen. Just that kind of silly day.. Hahaha
I looked up scalloped potatoes and it is similar. Except, you do these on the stove and you don't make any sauce, just crispy bacon, sauteed onions, sliced potatoes all layered and milk poured over the top, cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
It has onions, bacon, potatoes, milk, salt, pepper and parsley. So easy and so delicious! I added fresh chopped garlic chives to add extra nutrition. Mmmmmmmgood!
These are worth sharing. A meal in itself or a great side to anything.
