AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 01/28

I have leftover chili rice and leftover quiche. No one's gonna starve around here.

I have decided that I need to stop eating like a college student, so I am going to try to start eating better. How I plan on doing that, I do not yet know. 

At some point today, I need to go to Publix. I have enough laying around that I am good but I am totally out of coffee and that can't wait. In fact, the idea of not having coffee is giving me the fits, so even though I am still in my comfy place with fuzzy jammy pants on to Publix I will go.

Dinner? Something I get at Publix. Something healthy, because you know...it is time to start eating like a grownup again.

hop2 I have made pulled pork with a pork loin in the Instant Pot. It is very lean and didn’t pull especially easy but it was very good. 

Dh and and I are going to BIL and SILs house for a siblings dinner. Dh is currently making a salad as our contribution. I’m told there will be spaghetti with some long dead aunt’s sauce recipe which I can only assume includes some kind of meat and/or meatballs. We went out for breakfast which I followed with a syrup laden iced coffee and now I’m not feeling great. Three weeks of healthy eating has my body angry for putting crap into it today. I also ate cake and a scoop of ice cream yesterday as a reward for not screaming in the ex’s face and telling him what a horrible, obnoxious, rude, stupid, idiotic jerk he is. OMG. It was a very uncomfortable few hours and I won’t be inviting him to my home again. Ever. 

Back to my healthy eating tomorrow 😊

Does anyone know how to make tomato rice? I had it at a Persian restaurant in town and it was amazing. I am not thinking clearly here and don't know what to google if I wanted to make it. I don't want to make a huge quantity of it. I wonder if I just use stewing tomatoes and rice? That seems too easy, doesn't it?

No cooking here tonight. Yesterday was granddaughter's birthday and her bff's is Tuesday so we're all going to Yamato's Japanese Steakhouse to help them celebrate. Oh boy... warm sake!

We're having the sausage-vegetable-pasta soup I made yesterday. I should make salads to go with it, but most likely won't happen.

My week got a little better as it went on, after having a super crappy Monday. FB going to college is stressful on us both... DD is sick, but nothing serious, just the worst cold imaginable. Strep was negative and no true flu symptoms. Hoping it stays that way.

Well, we had French toast, bacon and eggs for dinner last night, so now we have another craving for bacon. So tonight, we’re having BLTs. Not sure what to go with, maybe hash browns or Mac & Cheese ? Why didn’t I figure that out at the store when I was just there getting the tomatoes?!

Hello Fresh is available in my area now. I just contacted them. I don't think the family will like what they feature. I do want to try this out so I might wait until I am by myself for 6 weeks in Feb/March. Then I can figure out if I like the food or not. I will give it a shot though. I want them to be successful!

Give your doctor's office a call and ask if they can at least schedule you for an ultrasound NOW, while you're feeling ill.  If you go for an image when you feel better, it won't really show what's going on.  Or do they already know you have a sludgy GB?  (If it's sludgy, I'm a little surprised you still have it; it's not working correctly, so I was under the impression they usually take it out!)  I hope you feel better soon, though! 

I have french onion soup in the crock pot, plus I will make some ham sandwiches.  That reminds me that I may want to pop up to Target before dinner... I have a couple of bowls just for french onion soup but they aren't my favorite for several reasons.  I think Target has some ramekins I can use instead.

 LOL at your meme!!!! 
It never ceases to amaze DH and I how LONG our babies take to find the PERFECT spot to poop!!!  

Also, does anyone else's doggies ferociously KICK dirt/leaves over their pee and/or poo when they're done?   It cracks us up! 

To answer your question, I am very picky about SOME food brands!  Other things, I'll buy whatever's on sale/ generic store brands. 


I wonder if your dds will notice the wheat pasta  I used to make it, but haven't in a while. On a related note, I've  made lasagne with thinly sliced zucchini instead of noodles, and although it was yummy----DH nicely said "um, can you please
just use regular noodles next time?"     I have to admit, I missed the noodles, too.  

KelleeM .....(( hugs ))

As far as dinner....I'm trying to decide whether to invite myself over to grammanisi 's or PolarGreen12 's !!!!!     

I reheated the leftover spaghetti and had that for dinner. It was easy and I wasn't really in the mood to eat. I was hungry enough, but I didn't feel like eating. Today feels like one of those days you'd like to avoid. Know what I mean?

KelleeM ex’s suck. That’s why they’re exes.

Made roast in the crockpot with green beans and potatoes.

Basement flooded halfway from the furnace humidifier. Dh still thinks he’s saving the carpet. Just have to let him go through the motions.
Kitchen contractor hasn’t shown up the past 2 days. Not thrilled.

Payton is still missing. They are now classifying her as a runaway and have stopped looking for her. I would be crazy if I were her parents.

Delta Dawn I bet you will like Blue Apron. Kroger grocery chain is advertising a version that you get in the store. I typically don’t shop there but I want to stop in and see what they’re about.
