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.
Lately I have been adding a couple of big spoonfuls of salsa to make it a bit spicy! I’m sure I saw someone doing this on one of my food blogs that I read.
I don’t even bother to put meat in it. I keep it vegetarian. I’m amazed at how much fresh organic produce costs these days! The way I justify the price is that I am eating healthy and hopefully I will save money by eating well and not having to pay doctors or hospital bills!
My brothers have horrendous heart problems and diabetes. I don’t want to get either of those.
I find it so therapeutic to make soup. My grandmother taught me how to cook it. I think of her very often when I make it.
I will also make a salad. I’m sure that at some point this evening hubby will treat himself to a bowl of ice cream too! 😊
That’s wonderful! I am married over 40 years also.
You’re right! It’s a long time these days. My brother is on wife number four and he finally seems to be in a happy relationship! LOL 😆
Me too, but I think that you would need more food! LOL 😆
I love crabs! I’m being lazy tonight and cooking a quick dinner, burgers.
Happy anniversary! How many years?
Sounds absolutely amazing! What time are you serving dinner? Can your AgingCare pals come over? 😊
TN: Good on those cobblers. Yum.
I made well over a gallon of turkey soup the other day and froze most of it. My, it has gelled well. Lots of protein!!! I eat it for any meal. Fast and nourishing.
No worries. It is perfectly okay not to like chocolate. You still fit in.
Chocolate, for me, is my medicine. It helps my moods.
"PEA is the same compound found in chocolate that is believed to produce chocolate’s positive effects on mood. The phenylethylamine in chocolate is believed to work by making the brain release b endorphin, an opioid peptide which is the driving force behind its pleasurable effects."
unhappy? 5 donuts.
happy? 5 donuts.

"I'll be the anomaly. Not a fan of chocolate."
is this really true? i have never met someone who doesn't like chocolate.
i wish i were like you!!! :) :) :)
oh my goodness, imagine i didn't like chocolate, junk food, any unhealthy food...what an amazing body i would have right now! :)
imagine the only thing i love is tofu, cabbage, tomatoes...
i'd also have to stop with my chocolate quotes in the joke thread...
i'd be focusing on tomato quotes...
:)

I modified your recipe a bit by adding the shredded lettuce from last night's tacos, and pico de gallo, and a bit of shredded cheese.
"corn, black beans and bell pepper salad".
We had all the ingredients on hand and cut up, ate that for lunch!
It was so very good, and unique for us. The bell pepper was red.
Wow! Just thanks!
And no glass was broken in the making of this dish!
You have inspired me to branch out and try these. They all sound great. I tend to get stuck in a rut and it’s boring. Variety is the spice of life.
ITRR,
I do like adding veggies too. They certainly add nutrients but also color and texture.
Thanks for responses!
