This could very well be one of the more satisfying dinners we’ve had in awhile. After a big lunch out, nobody was very hungry, but I made this cake that needed to be eaten, so…..berry cake with lemon glaze and poached eggs. Both were wonderful!

We generally have take out or something else quick on Friday nights, but Meg was sick and home from day care this week, so our plans were impeded a little. So, maidrites, fries, huge pickles, and peaches it was!

It’s been awhile since I posted a dinner, so here’s a good one for you! Pasta carbonara made with peas from our garden and homemade pasta!

Under that is chocolate pudding. Here’s the recipe for that: 2 cups chocolate chips melted with 1/2 cup milk in the microwave. Blend together with 10 ounces of silken tofu and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. That’s right, I said tofu…and, it was delicious!

It was HOT, but we had our shrimp boil anyway! Shrimp, crawfish, crab legs, corn, potatoes, and sausage. And coconut cake for dessert. A very good birthday!

Andy and Meg helped with my birthday breakfast: scrambled eggs with Irish cheddar and chives, toast, and yogurt with honey and blackberries. The morning light in the dining room is much cheerier than in the evening…

Saturday night dinner: Chicken leg quarters, rice, and California blend vegetables. Our (egg-laying, not for eating) chickens LOVED the leftover rice!

One of my new favorite thing to make – Huevos Rancheros. The last time we had them, I made the tortillas, too. This time, they were store bought, but the meal was still delicious!

Pancakes, bacon, and strawberries and bananas. Meg and I talked about having pancakes on our way home, but then when dinner time came, she told me “I wanna cheese quesadilla pwease, Mama.” Huh?

Grilled Italian sausage and peppers and onions with egg noodles. This has also been my lunch so far this week and it’s still good!

Chili mac. Ours:
