Tuesday

Cavatelli with mixed veggies in red sauce.

Not exactly the prettiest, or the healthiest. I don't know if this has come up, but hubs and I are living with my parents. I do the cooking, but they decide the menu, which, inevitably is pasta, pasta, pasta. Catatelli was their "non-pasta" ideal. I'm in a food funk.

I'm still here....

just being lazy. Here are a couple while I'm getting back on track.


Poached Flounder with Spinach and Quinoa

I was a little leery of the flounder, last time I cooked with it we spent the next day dealing with a fishy smelling house. This time I poached the still frozen fillets in water seasoned with lemon juice and some herbs. No smell at all, and the fish stayed quite moist. Win!



Turkey Bacon, Avacodo, Arugula and Tomato sandwhich on whole wheat bread, with roasted green beans.

Well,

so soon in the game and I've been slacking off. I apologize. Although, I'm not sure who it is I'm apologizing to. My sole reader also happens to be the hubby...and if needs to refer to the flog to figure out what he's eating, I'm in trouble.

So, I'll leave you with just a few highlights from the past few days, while I figure out how to better manage floggy.

Friday Morning Breakfast

Hubby's Famous "Toad in a Hole"

For us, this is what Toad in a Hole is, a fried egg cooked in a piece of toast. All I can say is thank god I never ordered it out. To the rest of the world, this is Toad in a Hole


A lovely mix of take away Chinese for Mother's Day


And, finally

Homemade Turkey Meatloaf with Mashed Red Potatoes, and Roasted Carrots and Radishes.

Can I just say, OMG. Where have roasted radishes been my whole life?
