I had leftover chicken meatballs with mushroom gravy with bow-tie pasta and roasted Brussels Sprouts and cauliflower. Oh, and a slice of apple/blueberry pie which turned out real nice.

Last night on youtube I saw Chef John of Food Wishes make apple turnovers and I thought I'd make that. Then I thought I'll just make a pie but I only had 3 apples. So I added a cup of frozen blueberries to it and made apple blueberry pie. I used Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust dough, the kind you unroll (they really are a good crust option for when you're feeling a little lazy). For the top crust I cut out circles using a doughnut cutter. It's still cooling off so I don't know how it turned out taste wise.

I made turkey meatballs today and had some with spaghetti and Brussels Sprouts. I have enough for a couple more days.

BA, I like ratatouille with pasta, good stuff!

We have to same frost warning so I pulled as many peppers as I thought were worth pulling. I had pulled my few remaining tomatoes about a week ago. It was not a great year for tomatoes for me or my neighbors.

I can almost smell it, Mike, it looks fine to me!

I wonder if the pandemic caused a shortage of the Vermont cheese so they had to supplement it with cheese from other areas. Most businesses would rather make small, usually unnoticeable, changes to meet demand rather than have shortages. For example, high demand for bourbon has caused some bourbon makers to make subtle changes, the black label variety of Jim Beam was originally labeled 8 years old but now just says Extra Aged, meaning that the blend has some product in there that is less than 8 years old. That allows them to put more product on the shelves.

I had leftovers too, chicken hamburger gravy with barley. That was the last of it, I'll have to make something tomorrow.

If the artichoke hearts sold well you would think they would restock them. Maybe they were slow sellers but it sounds like it brought new customers in.

Yesterday I made hamburger gravy with ground chicken. Had it with pasta and green beans. Today I had leftovers with broccoli and carrots.

Thank you Joan and Skeptic. I only have chocolate ice cream on hand at the moment so I have it without.

I don't have a problem with that pairing, Mike.

Today was leftover chicken, rice and mushroom gravy, fresh broccoli and carrots. And a slice of fresh apple pie.

[RiversideLen]

Thanks, BA. Slightly over baked but good.

I made an apple pie using honeycrisp apples. I made an oil crust from Jenny Jones but I used part whole wheat pastry flour. For the topping (Dutch style pie) I subbed 1/2 almond flour for the AP and walnut oil for the butter. I also drizzled several tablespoons of Smuckers salted caramel sauce of the apples before I topped it.

It might not look pretty but I have high hopes for it.

Yesterday I roasted a chicken and had it with an apple stuffed acorn squash and mashed potato. Tonight will be leftover chicken with wild/brown rice blend and mushroom gravy and broccoli.
