So far today, ham and eggs- lots of black pepper on the eggs (scrambled).

Dinner: considering making the spaghetti salad with Catalina dressing.

We're having plain old BBQ chicken, which we haven't had in a very long time. Sides are corn on the cob for me, baked beans for Dogboa, and special macaroni salad, Muller's basic elbow mac salad recipe plus HB eggs, small steamed shrimp, and a little bit of Marzetti's dressing.

Tonight it was pork tenderloin kabobs over the coals. The salad is a broccoli "rice" affair that was quite good. The fresh pineapple was to die for.

I made a cold spaghetti salad with grape tomatoes, sliced boiled eggs, chopped cucumber and onion, and some wee salad shrimp thrown in.

Put that all together after you rinse the spag in cold water, then add some Catalina dressing.
Toss and chill. It's delicious.
More today. It made a lot.

Karen made doughnuts for dinner. Andouille and sharp, white cheddar stuffed that is! Home grown collards as a side and homemade BBQ sauce for the doughnuts. Recipes are from Emeril's cookbooks.

Last night was rotisserie chicken and salad.

Tonight was cheesesteak (hero roll with American cheese melted under broiler, thin sliced London broil pan fried, yellow, red and green peppers and onions pan fried).

I've got a steak portabella in the freezer, a quick nuke of that at work this evening.
Suppose I could do some quick rice to take along too.

Last night was pork tenderloins and pineapple grilled over the coals with pecan for smoke. The sweet potato on the side was slathered with homemade ghee.

The pineapples we are getting from T-Boys have been wonderful.

Tonight is stir fried chicken from the Whole30 book. It is less involved compared to the one listed on the net. I just finished the mise en place and will take a break before frying the chicken and putting it all together.

It was my first time ever doing a stir fry and it came out pretty good. It sure made a mess of the stove and counter. I learned to do a few things differently and sometimes think the people writing these feel good recipes never actually made them themselves.

The Warden didn't want to have rice two nights in a row, so she went with it over potato bread ...

The paleo gravy burgers came out great - forgot to get the sweet potato out of the oven but saved it.

I figured you were doing the Paleo thing again.

I made a sandwich using an XL butter croissant with ham and Kraft's wonderful " Big Slice" smoky bacon cheddar, lettuce and mayo.
Lay's lightly salted chips, and a Cutie.
--------- work dinner at the 'Crest.

It's the Whole30 plan and so far it's been great. Tonight's paleo burgers were something I found looking for recipes that would work as I'm getting tired of chicken.

Saturday night will be salade niçoise with Westport tuna.

OK, I was out kalamata olives - went to Safeway
and they had none in their olive bar, which is a bad way to start out the long weekend. I decided to make the long drive to Met Mkt and ended up getting 3 different kinds, as long as I went all that way. Also got fresh arugula for the salad.

Kalamata - Niçoise - Dry Oil Cured

The salade niçoise was a hit and wonder why I never made it before.
