I made a boneless pork chop, had it with some pasta and red cabbage. I cooked the cabbage in a little chicken broth and then lightly thickened the broth with corn starch and used that as a sauce for the pasta. A head of cabbage really gives a lot of servings, but tonight was the last of it (except for a little leftover for tomorrows lunch).

All the best to your dog, BA, I know how special pets are.

I'm going through my freezer as I have a lot of stuff in there for a couple of years. I thawed out two steaks overnight and cooked them today. So, I had a NY strip with noodles and red cabbage. Will have the other steak tomorrow.

I made a cheeseburger (smoked cheddar), a baked sweet potato and steamed red cabbage. Followed by a slice of apple pie with ice cream.

I had turkey, pasta and cauliflower.

I think one of the problems with pumpkin pie is the traditional pumpkin pie seasonings. When I make it, I only use cinnamon and vanilla. Nothing else. People who otherwise don't like pumpkin pie often like mine.

That looks good, Mike. I haven't had sweet potato pie in a long time.

Last night I made an apple pie. I used a refrigerated Pilsbury pie crust, the kind that comes rolled up. 2 pounds of Honeycrisp apples, seasoned with some cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg, a little granulated and brown sugars. Flour as the thickener. For the topping I used a half cup of rolled oats, 1/4 cup of AP flour, a cup of chopped pecans, half cup of brown sugar, a pinch of the same spices used in the pie, and 1/3 cup of walnut oil. I baked it at 375f on a preheated pizza stone set on the lowest oven rack, on a sheet of parchment in case of any spill over, loosely covered with a sheet of aluminum foil for most of the baking time. The bottom of the crust is perfectly browned, I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Almost anything would have to improve kale. 🙂

lol, I like to steam kale and then season it with a little soy sauce and sesame seed oil.

I just finished stuffing some peppers, they are sitting in the fridge waiting for dinner time. I think I'm going to make potato (Yukon gold), probably roast as they can go in the oven with the peppers, and some broccoli and cauliflower.

Am also 6A but I don't know if that's a change.

I made a batch of sandwich/burger buns, 6. I withheld about 300 grams of dough for two pizzas. So tonight I made a pizza, topped with a sliced meatball, a few pepperonis and thin sliced onion.

Have a wonderful time, Joan!

I made meatballs today, so had meatballs with spaghetti, broccoli and carrot.

Another thing for good Italian beef is not to let the sliced beef simmer in the gravy. The beef should be placed in the gravy for a few moments only and then made up into the sandwich. If the cooked, sliced beef simmers in the gravy, it will cook some more and turn tough.

Last night I had leftover turkey. I made a semi homemade soup to go with it, boxed chicken broth, fresh cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, celery and a little onion and some canned corn.

Tonight I'm making burgers and oven fries. Haven't decided on the veg yet.

That looks great, Mike. I think Jenny Can Cook says to brush the pie crust with a little milk but I like the idea of adding honey to it.

I made a Butterball turkey breast roast (it's a rolled roast), rice and cauliflower.

I had a stuffed pepper, pasta, broccoli and cauliflower.
