Dinner was uneventful, I had a salad with buffalo ranch dressing and a packet of white meat chicken.

BUT!! We made homemade greek yogurt in the Instant Pot!! And now I'm gonna do it again, I'm going to get 4 more gallons of whole milk and keep the instant pot going until all of my old yogurt containers are full. Some is probably going to get blueberries and honey, and probably some honey and vanilla too. I thought about peach too, but I'll probably eat all my frozen peaches in my smoothies before I get there.

Yesterday my son made a london broil, cooked perfectly. With some roasted cauliflower. It was delicious. Tonight I had the leftover steak in a salad with bleu cheese, bleu cheese salad dressing, crispy onions, and tomatoes.

Yesterday I also had my very first smoothie made with my homemade greek yogurt. There is a HUGE difference. The homemade yogurt tastes soooooooo much better than the stuff I've been buying in the grocery store.

Salmon fillet. It was on clearance because of freshness date. It started at twice the price I normally would pay for fish. Yes it did taste better than the usual filets..

It was sauteed with big hunks of fresh garlic and it was delicious.
pork dumplings
green tea

My darling child has been asked for 4 days in a row, two of which have been freezing days, to make some bread. It hasn't happened.

He did make dinner tonight though, we had meatballs and ravioli (yes, I hate pasta, but he keeps making the Rana ravioli for both of us. And baked potatoes, which makes a HUGE amount of carbs with the pasta, I'm gonna feel like a balloon all day tomorrow and he's going to end up doing my shops because I'm gonna be sick.

^^^We are fans of Rana Fresh Pasta^^^. I buy it at Costco - favs in order - Butternut Squash, Spinach and Cheese, Cheese. I see they sell Lobster Ravioli but we have no interest.

Tonight was baked eggplant rollatini, sauteed broccoli drizzled with garlic, Italian bread, chocolate cake (created by my Mom-so good), strawberries and blueberries.

Rana tortellini and ravioli seem to be the only pasta that doesn't trigger my gag reflex. Going 10+ years without eating wheat and most grains has given me a whole new pile of things that make me want to toss my cookies.

We haven't had any good food for a few days, my son made a loaf of bread on Tuesday. And we were on the road for most of Thursday and all day on Friday. Thursday we went to Taco Bell, and today we went to possibly the worst Popeyes for miles and miles around. It was almost inedible, and I didn't even get a biscuit. I'm looking forward to staying home for a couple days and eating real good food.

^^ We love Rana tortellini! Haven't bought it in awhile but last summer's 4th of July party, my Mom created the most delicious tortellini salad with it ever. Asparagus, red onion, zucchini (?), tomatoes, corn (?), pimientos, her own Italian dressing. I could not stop eating it.^^

Family brunch today to celebrate #2's bday. Family winged it for dinner or should I say DH? We were stuffed. Furry baby loves had parfaits (Greek yogurt with blueberries and strawberries) lol. I love my baby boys. Red Velvet b'day cake, Italian cookies and decaf cappuccinos early evening. Hope you all had a great weekend.

I bought some marked down empanadas at Kroger the other day, so we had those yesterday, but all of the salad makings were turning brown, so they were chicken food. I think I had a severe lack of vegetation yesterday.. except for my breakfast smoothie. Tonight we had popeyes and pizza because we were out working.

In and Out Burger, eaten at one of their outdoor tables
with a light breeze and lots of sun.
Very nice except for the crows that were wanting to dive in and grab a fry.

I did a little better tonight. Marked down Bacon Caesar salad kit, with hickory smoked tuna, tomatoes, and crispy onions. And two snickerdoodles for dessert.

$1.65 + $1.00 for the salad kit and the tuna pouch. The cookies were $0.36 each. The cherry tomatoes were $5 for a 1.5 lb clamshell, I had 5 in my salad. And the crispy onions were from a 1.5 lb. bag I bought at Gordon's for $9, 2 months ago and I've only used about half of it. About $4 total.

My Mom made a 50 lb. Lasagna with her sous chefs. Arugula salad with tomatoes and grated Parmesan. Italian bread rubbed with fresh garlic. Honeydew, cantaloupe, granny and McIntosh apples, red velvet cookies. Later on, my neighbor gifted us a huge box of the most beautiful desserts in celebration of Ramadan. They were gorgeous and subtlety sweet. Too much yummy food!

I am not sure but it could have been the combo of carbonation and all the fiber foods in the soup...maybe the spices too....
Will watch that in the future.

I think I will try to make pozole at home some time. The flavor combo is great and it seems almost too easy to make.

We did Outback tonight.. it was hugely disappointing. I got what I thought was my usual Steakhouse Salad, but the menu has changed and it doesn't say that anymore. They changed it to a Big Bowl Salad with added protein, and of course I got the steak. But the steak was grossly over cooked, there was more salad dressing than salad, and it was all iceberg lettuce, not romaine. And something just tasted wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. If I didn't know from previous experience that this Outback can do better I would say that I'd never go back.

Wait, WHAT??? What is this about a 50 lb. lasagna? You)re talking about this in the past tense! Why was I not included in what sounds like a massive feast? I like dessert too. : <
