Finally got around to reviewing what I have in the fridge this morning… not as bad as I thought, though I do have a couple more of those HUGE jars… This time it is kosher dill pickles and marchino cherries…. What else do I have in the fridge? Beer, wine and milk – all basic… Continue reading The Refrigerator Inventory…

Vegetarian Friday… June 24, 2011
After standing in front of my refrigerator trying to decide what to have (I really wanted chicken tonight, but none in the house, and trying to abide my own rules), I decided to make a vegetarian meal this evening. I had fresh baby eggplant, zucchini and tomato from the church garden. They have been in… Continue reading Vegetarian Friday… June 24, 2011
What to do?
I realized yesterday evening that I don’t have a lot of variety when it comes to meats in the freezer for my protien portion of my dinners. I used the last of the steaks yesterday. I have a couple pieces of ham, several boneless pork chops, some veil, spicy sausages, bacon, and some homemade breakfast… Continue reading What to do?

Dinner last night was filet steak (medium rare, of course), leftover potatoes from Tuesday made into a potato salad using an indian dip that I have in the fridge-thinned a little with a bit of milk, fresh tomatoes from the church garden with homemade pesto, and stir fried yellow zucchini (from my garden) peppers and… Continue reading Thursday June 23, 2011

Another evening where I wasn’t very hungry at all – so I boiled some potatoes from the Church garden and made some mashed potatoes. Boring, I konw…

Monday was snack day for dinner, nothing special just some cheese and crackers. I used some laughing cow cheese wedges with Rasberry Chipotle sauce and some butter crackers I had on hand. Nothing exciting, I just wasn’t very hungry.
Dinner – Sunday June 19, 2011
Tonight I pulled a boneless porkchop from the freezer, and using a sweet/spicy grilling sauce, grilled the chop. Sides included: Potato Salad made with an indian yogurt sauce (minty/spicy) an interesting twist on potato salad; fresh tomatoes and cucumber salad with a dark beer from St. Arnold’s brewery located in Houston.
Pantry Inventory
Are you amazed at what you find lurking in your pantry when you finally get around to better organizing it? I re-organize my pantry probably a couple times a year. It starts out nice and neat, but it always ends up a bit of a mess. Well, with this “dining at home” and “eating what… Continue reading Pantry Inventory

Dinner tonight consisted of what I thought was a chicken tamales that turned out to be a spinach/cheese tamales, “re-fried” black beans with salsa, fresh, homegrown tomatoes with fresh, homegrown basil and Texas olive oil (if your interested in some, leave me a comment and how to reach you), cucumber salad and roasted potatoes. Crystal… Continue reading Saturday June 18, 2011
