What's for [insert nearest meal here]? Steel cut oatmeal with butter, brown sugar, and honeycrisp apples I dried myself.
Ooh. Breakfast was boring, lunch was a supermarket roast beef sandwich, but dinner will be some combination of scallops, bacon & goat's cheese, possibly with sauté potatoes. Little scallops, so probably not suitable for wrapping in bacon, but I do predict that the outcome will be yummy and served with dryish white wine.
For lunch I will probably have a burrito -- refried beans, salsa, onions, cheese, hot sauce, chili powder. That's what I usually have most days.
For dinner I could either have leftover baked beans (canned beans, onion, tomato paste, dry mustard, maple syrup) from yesterday or I could make a tempeh/broccoli/onion/soy sauce over brown rice thing.
Sick food for me today, so pretty self-indulgent. Currently drinking warm milk with turmeric and pepper to soothe my throat. Then I'm going to have a bowl of leftover lamb stew with a buttered sourdough roll for brunch. Mmmmm.
Brekkie was a favorite Sunday treat - at the farmer's market, an egg and chorizo croissant sandwich made over a burner by the farmer who oversaw the egg and chorizo production.
Dinner will be leftovers from yesterday, but yesterday was awesome! I brought home some dried chiles from Oklahoma - they had a good variety which is harder to find here. Last night I roasted them and made them into my own chili powder blend, and cooked up a giant bowl o'red. It was delish and there's plenty left.
Coffee, cereal, milk (slowly getting unfrozen because I was away and I froze it so it would stay good). I have heard via AskMe that maybe eating the same food over and over again is a problem. I am hoping this is not the case, but a little afraid to investigate.
Actually turned out to be banana and chocolate chip french toast with sausage, maple syrup and fresh fruit. It was heavenly. My husband had enormous pancakes made with cornmeal, also outstanding.
Update: I made salad, with green leaves, a little goat cheese, crispy bacon, seared scallops, saute potatoes, garlic, tomatoes, and some dressing. It was as over-complicated as that sounds, though very tasty. Will leave out a few ingredients next time :)
I made a bagel-egg sandwich. Single egg scrambled up with milk and grated mixed cheese, then poured in a bagel-sized skillet. When done, a slice of Provolone cheese melted on top. Turned over onto a toasted buttered raisin bagel.
Home cooking, so much healthier and cheaper than going to Dunkin for a coupla donuts. Oh yeah. Only not.
Breakfast was fried eggs, hashbrowns, toast and orange juice. I just ate two oatmeal cookies so I think that was lunch. I think dinner might be popcorn.
Breakfast was a glass of tea and a slice of bread and a pack of Pocky.
Dinner was the last two ricotta, spinach, and leeks in phyllo (pseudokopitas?) good riddance
