aKathys What's for Dinner? 2/24

Good morning, my friends!!

I'm feeling good today. My house is in great shape, laundry is caught up until tomorrow. Dd and her friend of the boy variety is now officially the boyfriend. I haven't heard deets yet, just that they're official. I know she's very excited and he really seems like a nice boy so I'm happy for her. He's been engaging with ds, who's on the spectrum, which is more than either of the other 2 boys ever did. So that in and of itself earns him big points in my book.

Not much going on here today. I've made out my menu and grocery list already today. But I probably won't do shopping until Friday.

Dinner tonight was dd's choice that she decided with the boyfriend. Chicken, homemade mac and cheese, and oven roasted broccoli.

Lots of good thoughts and love for all of you!! ❤

Home Chef meal- blackened shrimp tostadas for us!

scrapmaven I think I missed the Bulgie update. Going to go read yesterday's thread to catch up.

I read teddyw post this morning. I am definitely wishing her well today. And I hope jubejubes is feeling better today too.

brandy327 congratulations on the new boyfriend! I'm glad you think he's a nice kid.

My couch didn't arrive until 6:30 yesterday. But I just love it. Now I just need to put the finishing touches on my living room. A rug. Set up my yoga space. Pictures on the wall. Etc. But I'm pretty happy so far. And comfortable.

Dinner tonight will be rechauffe. We have leftover scalloped potatoes, chicken and biscuits, and beef and broccoli. So plenty to choose from.

Hi Everyone,

teddyw and jubejubes I pray that both of you are having a better, pain free day. 

scrapmaven Enjoy your relaxing day.

sueg I am glad that you are not putting up with the candle company not getting the order correct.

brandy327 I am happy to read that your daughter has a nice boyfriend.

jeremysgirl Beautiful couch and room. Those are almost the same colors in my living room. 

PolarGreen12 I always feel better after going to the salon.

Last night, we had lamb curry; so today is rechauffe. I just started watching season 4 of The Crown. Yes I am a little behind. But better late then never, right? I found out last week that this will be my PT’s last week on the job. He is starting a job at the hospital. He told me that he has never met the replacing PT; but he is young and big. He told me that he is going to explain to him how to work with me because my pain tolerance isn’t very good. He comes at 4 pm today and Friday, so I hope that I do better today then yesterday. 

Love the sectional, jeremysgirl !

The Turkey & Stuffing Casserole was a huge hit last night and has officially been Pinned. 

Of course, I made a few minor tweaks.  I didn't have a potato in the house, so skipped it and the flour, and added 1 1/2 - 2 cups fresh thin green beans along with an extra couple carrots to the turkey mix. Looking over the recipe, I also only added about 1 TBSP and no butter to cook the filling. TThe only change to the stuffing was using Boudin Sourdough Stuffing and skipped dotting butter on top before baking. 

Tonight we are having Korean Tacos.

My girlfriend Zoom happy hour is on the schedule for this afternoon.

Our school resource officer (police) has been doing presentations to classes this morning ... I hope he gets through to some of the students ... we have some who are on the wrong track.     

He will be presenting during the second half of my Option class next ... they need it.    

I think dinner tonight will be takeout Hot and Sour Soup.    

Love your new furniture jeremysgirl!      

Just back from our walk ~ feels like 75 degrees out there! Didn't need my mittens or muffler at all.

Tonight we're having Brisket Chili from Costco. I am going to add a can of black beans and corn as last time it was tasty but needed more of both. We'll finish off DS's ice cream cake for dessert.

jeremysgirl, nice, comfy looking couch!

teddyw, glad your migraine is gone.

jubejubes, glad there is no residual pain in your palate. I've had injections in my palate and it was no fun.

Happy Hump Day!

jeremysgirl love your sectional and the wall color.

littlemama shrimp tostadas sound delicious !

For dinner we are having hot dogs (mine without the bun) carrots and broccoli.

From me?  I have been making it the past few weeks.  I am able to eat the entire thing on the program I am on as it is basically veggies  lol  (but I dont!  I get about 3 servings out of it).  Its quick and easy and so yummy!  Of course, as always, it is better with real pasta, but the spaghetti squash works for what I need.

large container of cherry/grape tomatoes
square of feta
olive oil and spices
place the feta in middle of the baking dish, pour the tomatoes in.  Top with olive oil and spices (I use basil and Italian seasoning).  Bake for 25 min at 400F.  Squish it all together and stir to combine.  Add in pasta and stir.  Enjoy.

I think tacos today! Our house inspector is here right now and Dh says things are going really well so that is good news! After we have the completed report we will send to the agent and he’ll show it to the people that have looked at the house (they were waiting to make an offer until they see it). Then we can decide if we want to accept an offer or go ahead and list it next week.

Love the couch jeremysgirl!

I forgot we have leftover steak in the fridge so I will make that into stir fry. I need to get more noodles today. I finished up one package I had and there is another to try. I need to do laundry today and I don’t want to. I have to go out and I want to procrastinate...

That's exactly my spot! The other wing of the couch is longer so perfect for Jeremy to lay down and nap. My spot runs sideways of the TV but it's fine because I don't watch.
