More Good Stuff

It’s been raining for days here in Southern California. ☔️ I love it. I’m forced to stay home in my kitchen and do what I love to do. Here’s what I cooked this week:

• Turkey tenders with rice & broccolini with garlic
• Tomato soup
• No knead pumpernickel bread
• Vegetable bean chili
• Apple pudding
• Chicken spinach skillet dinner + salad
• No knead whole wheat bread

• Mini chocolate chip cookies
• Leftover turkey tender with steamed & pan fried potatoes, carrots, green beans & sweet potatoes
• Buckwheat pancakes
• One pan chicken with roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts & bell peppers
• Tortillas
• Rigatoni with simple meat sauce + salad with garbanzo beans & avocado

About those mini cookies: We usually just have a cookie for dessert these days. Since cutting back on sugar, I rarely make cakes or pies. I’m even making the cookies smaller and one small cookie or a chocolate cluster is all I need for dessert. But the man I love claims he’s being deprived of his rights and as the warden of this prison I should allow him to have two cookies. His claim is that two small cookies are equal to one regular cookie and as a model prisoner, he’s entitled to a grown up cookie for dessert. (…awaiting a decision from the appeals board… 😀)
