February 2024 - Spring is coming, soon!

Love all your suppers!

Good thing I have a ton of food in the freezer! I have been living on:chips (for the salt) bread & butter, water, soup and some almond milk yogurt for breakfast.
Glad I had homemade chicken soup and minestrone from the freezer! Yesterday, I took out a small container of tomato sauce. I had that with some small pasta shells.. nothing else. It was the most I have eaten in 10 days.

I am still, slowly recovering my strength from having the flu last week.. Man, I swear the older I get, the worse the colds/flu hit me, and the worse the asthma is..
I doubled up on inhalers, as pulmonologist suggested. It worked, I did not get full blown bronchitis, but I am still exhausted. No stamina..

Yesterday, I did go down to try to play cornhole. I thought it would be a fast game, as I was playing against former high school pitcher. Wrong! He was 'off' his game, and I was bad.. After we finished, I was exhausted, sweating, and SOB.. I was done in for the rest of the day.

Tonight, I think will be more chicken soup. It is really cold and windy outside. Tomorrow will be the rest of the sauce with shells.

I still have the beef stew recipe hanging on my wall... one of these days......

Your picnic sounds wonderful We've received a shock of cold, cold, cold again! the last few days have been in the low 50s (very unusual for Feb.) But Mother Nature has told us................... "Remember, this is Canada, not Florida!" Biting wind and cold. -2 C right now, I guess that's about 27/28 F for you 'Mericans!

While I was taking a picture of the steak and corn cooked on the grill, BBQ beans and salad from the stores salad bar, Charlie was making mac N Cheese and garlic bread.

Then, when I was at the store today, I saw some really nice baby romaine and decided to make Chicken lettuce wraps instead.  I figured I could just look up a copy cat PF Chang's recipe and be just fine.  Well, it was OK ~ just barely.  It tasted nothing like what I get at the restaurant.  So I won't be saving THAT recipe in my files!  LOL

But, we ate it and both are full.  Sometimes you get lucky and other times it's a big bust......

I do t often use bottled stuff but kikomans stir fry sauce makes a wonderful lettuce wrap…even better than homemade. I just put the stuff I want with the ground chicken…usually ground water chestnuts, green onions, stuff like that.
