Yesterday was my nephew's high school graduation. So afterward we had a BBQ taco bar. BBQd flank steak, chicken breast, and portobello mushrooms, and all the fixings for tacos. Strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Last night was calamari steaks, served over lemon pasta with a butter, lemon, parsley sauce. And a salad.

I'm in a cleaning out my freezer mode lately. Night before last was marinated and pan fried pork steaks with a cauliflower fried 'rice' and salad. Last night was crispy chicken thighs roasted with lemon and a sauce of pan drippings, shallots, oregano, wine and chicken broth. Served with...

Oh, now you've gone and done it. I'm making my baked beans some time this week. I have some salt pork in the freezer and beans in the pantry, so I'm all set. Last night I made a riff on Bobby Flay's crispy chicken with mint sauce. Um, no. The chicken was pretty good, but the sauce wasn't...

Last night was crispy chicken thighs braised with bacon, onion, and cabbage. Served with some dark sourdough bread.

Last night we had grilled shrimp tacos with a tomato avocado salsa.

It's a Brand name smoker/grill that uses pellets, quite popular out here. Made by a family that lives a handful of miles from us. My husband loves his Traeger, but I prefer a regular gas grill as I'm not particularly fond of smoked meats. Last night we had marinated and grilled chicken...

Yum on the rhubarb. I made a strawberry rhubarb pie the other day ... really good. Last night we Traegered a whole chicken. Served with mashed potatoes (for hubby, not for me), steamed broccoli and roasted garlic scapes. Apple pie for dessert.

We had spaghetti carbonara and a salad last night.

Last night I had no dinner. I had a late lunch with some girlfriends to celebrate two birthdays so wasn't very hungry. However, I did manage to eat some ice cream with fresh strawberries around 8:30. Only because I can't take my vitamins unless I eat something, so I actually had to eat ice...

I could not live without my food processor. A must have for anyone who likes to cook ... maybe even more so for those who don't.

Oh gosh, just buy Pillsbury crusts, two to a box, and freeze one. Easy peasy.

Since I only have four girls, rarely do I have more than a dozen eggs at once. But for some reason I had almost two last night, so I decided I'd make a bacon and spinach quiche. Yowza, was it good. My husband ate almost half of it. Served with a salad and a sourdough baguette.

LOL. You can't be good all of the time. Last night we had lasagna, garlic bread, and salad. Not the most low cal/low fat meal, but it was good. Coffee ice cream and strawberries for dessert.

Last night we grilled some 2 inch chops that had been marinating in a chipotle marinade, steamed broccoli, salad, and mashed potatoes for the husband.

Last night was beef/pork meatloaf with green beans, salad, and mashed potatoes. Tonight is grilled flatiron steak, wild rice, and a brussel sprout salad with dried cranberries, hazelnuts, and bacon. Woot!!

After returning from a ten day road trip (first time staying away from home since I got those silly chickens), and eating some fantastic food, I'm thrown back into "what the heck am I going to make for dinner" mode. It was so nice not to have to think about that for a while. So since hubby...

Last night we attended lu'au night at the local university, where my nephew (who is most definitely not a Pacific Islander) danced in three numbers - two hulas and a haka. The food was pretty good for an event that served 1200 people. All the usuals - lomi lomi salmon, kahlua pork, shoyu...

Yesterday I went to a friend's house for a girls' lunch. She made the most delicious cashew chicken over brown rice that I had seconds. Served with a salad and assorted snacky items before. Brownies and dulce de leche ice cream for dessert. I was still so full last night that I had no...

LOL. I grew up on that, too. I've just always been really interested in food. Cooking it, shopping for it, reading about it, eating it. I don't know if you've ever watched Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. He travels all over the world eating really interesting and sometimes really really...
