We had a not very good Progresso beef and vegetable soup from my canned soup stock that I wanted to use up. Progresso soups are our go-to meal when traveling, but we have not done that many overnight trips for a while.

The soup was a good choice because we just returned from three nights at the Canyon Inn at McCormick's Creek State Park here in Indiana. We ended up taking salmon patties to have for dinner last Thursday and Friday, then we spent the day with my husband's cousin and his wife, and they fed us dinner on Saturday. So, we had the soup tonight that we would have had last night.

We went out of town to get the dog away from the fireworks. The official ones where we live were on July 4 and 6, and the adult sons of the couple next door usually do very loud ones on the 4th. And then there is everyone else around here. So, we leave.

I noticed an increase in Aldi's eggs when we shopped early last week. However, the price was lower at our local grocery store by about 10 cents, so go figure.

Salads sounds good Chocomouse.Today I had chicken and dumplings and made a dessert that's keto friendly. The recipe is one box of sugar-free Jell-O any flavor I use raspberry With one cup of boiling water mixed together, then pour in blender . Add 8 ounces of cream cheese that has been cubed up blend and pour in serving dishes. I sprinkled mine with graham cracker crumbs. It's really good and fast.

And that reminds me -- I used to make small pies in canning jars and freeze them. I cut the pie crust into circles a bit smaller than the wide-mouth mason jars, and baked them on a cookie sheet. When cooled, I layered them with cooked fruit filling between crusts (several layers). They kept for months in the freezer, if they were not eaten sooner.

I had breakfast for supper. Sausage, eggs, hash browns with onions and one of the rye bread rolls I made today.Len has a good recipe and I will make it again.

I had a tuna sandwich on semolina toast. I added shredded carrot to the tuna. I'm trying to use up fresh produce and not buy too much as I leave for Atlanta on Sunday for a buying trip at the Retail Market - 3 days at the Market and drive home on Thursday.
