We had boneless chicken thighs with Greek seasoning, broccoli salad, and smashed potatoes.
Tonight I made quesadillas: ham, thin sliced onion and orange sweet pepper, pineapple bits, salsa, and cheddar cheese. They were excellent.

I made bagels this morning.
We had spaghetti, with hamburg, cauliflower, dried garlic chips, chopped onion and celery (I forgot the green peppers); and a green salad.
Great news! I think you'll be back to baking soon!
I baked another Apple Caramel Cake -- it's just as tasty as the first one! And it came out of the medium size bundt pan and the 4 small bundts perfectly!
BakerAunt, you can add any leftover beer to your compost pile - it's good nutrients for the garden. Although I would not suggest serving it to your Aerogarden (when you get one!)
I used the leftovers from the chicken-spinach-mushroom casserole to make soup. I added celery, carrots, and chicken broth. Delicious! I've added it to the winter soup rotation, whether from leftovers or made special.
I'm sorry to learn of Jozy's passing. I make her Rhubarb Streusel muffins every spring.
Today I made one of our favorite casseroles, which we don't have very often. It is chicken breasts on a bed of sauteed onions, garlic, spinach, then a layer of mushrooms - all topped with shredded mozzarella. I didn't get much of the liquid squeezed out of the spinach, so next time I'm going to try fresh spinach instead of frozen. I'll make the leftovers into a soup, possibly adding some small pasta, maybe orzo, or rice.
BakerAunt, a good use of your stimulus money!
Len, the raspberry wine is sweet, but not overly sweet. Excellent flavor. I just learned yesterday that when we are in Michigan for almost 2 weeks next summer, teaching and selling for my sister's handpainted yarn business, we'll have one whole day off with no classes or traveling - so we plan to visit some new to us wineries and revisit several that we have been to over the years. Of course, that is all dependent on Covid and events and businesses being open.
cwcdesign, here's hoping your next 6 weeks fly by!! You can read through your entire collection of recipes and make plans for what to make first when you're healed.
I made my husband a birthday cake today. I made a white two-layer cake, and spread home-made raspberry jam between the layers, then frosted it with chocolate ganache. It is delicious. No candles -- not allowed after age 75!
Tonight we had husband's birthday dinner: grilled strip steaks, green salad, rosti potatoes, and buttercup squash, and red raspberry wine from Leelanau winery in Michigan.
