finally got back to ordering ChefsPlate meals… took the summer off as we were camping a fair bit and there were so many fresh veggies in the Markets…

on Wednesday my first box arrived… I had chosen two meatless options and one beef… filled the fridge up, lol…

life had been very full so I haven’t had an opportunity to make anything until tonight…

chose a delicious Beef Taco Salad… it had watermelon radishes, which were beautiful to look at and tasted a bit spicy… first time I’ve tried them…

happy to have the time to make the meal… it is always fun to follow the directions and see what turns out… saved the second half separately so that nothing will be soggy… just need to combine and eat;-)…

looking forward to a weekend of figure skating on tv…

good thing that I have lunch already prepared for tomorrow…

have really taken the day to rest and recover from the cold I’ve been struggling with all week… 

these are some of the times when I most miss my beloved… he always did a great job of looking after me…

jammies on all day and the only thing I did was prepare meals…

for breakfast I really wanted to order something, but dragged myself down to the kitchen and took inspiration from the cute woman at the resort who made all the egg dishes… cooked up mushrooms, green onion and spinach and made an omelette with a little cheese in it as well… came out very nicely…

for lunch I chose the last bit of my zucchini basil chicken soup with chips and some Mexican chocolate… seemed like just the right combination, lol…

for supper made one of the ChefsPlate meals… still enjoying the process of preparing the meal… and it tasted great…

turkey and spinach meatballs…

as I was sitting in the living room waiting for the meatballs to finish cooking I could actually smell the hyacinth…

hurray, the cold is starting to let up…

variety…

very fall-looking day… 

spent it indoors and the morning melted away as I worked on a little project…

wasn’t expecting it to take near as much time but working with a variety of technology is sometimes challenging, lol… although I always enjoy every minute when I am making something…

kept at it until it was done before I would let myself have lunch…

each meal today was a bit unusual… for breakfast I made zucchini pancakes to go with a poached egg… very tasty…

at lunch I had a whole wheat pita with lettuce and pâté and radishes alongside…

finally my dinner consisted of smoked goldeye with a stir fry of cauliflower, onion, eggplant and mushrooms…

although when I look at the pictures, there wasn’t much variety in colour except for the radishes… looking rather bland, lol…

took this picture of the house yesterday… looks pretty good, eh… thinking of the variety of looks it has had since September 1973…

choice…

after all that grocery shopping on Sunday I’ve had lots of choice as I prepare for each day’s meals…

during the week I usually make a smoothie for breakfast… it is easy and quick and I can spend a few minutes checking my phone before the day gets crazy… 

  
today it was spinach, black currants, banana, Greek yogurt and almond milk… doesn’t look great but was very tasty…

for lunch I had half of a smoked goldeye with the zucchini and basil soup I made last night, along with radishes, peppers and celery…

  
healthy and delicious…

for supper I thawed some shrimp and added asparagus and mashed cauliflower… 

  
as I was crushing the garlic, the press broke… had to toss it and will need to get a new one… luckily was able to pick the bits of metal out of the shrimp…

  
finished the meal off with two small Guylian chocolates…

feel happy when I’ve eaten three good meals in the day…

more birthday fun continued today…

once the boys woke up (after 8), we drove to the “A” for breakfast as it was chilly and rainy… the whole purpose of breakfast out was so we could walk, lol…

downtown for lunch and a Habitat for Humanity Garden Party and Fashion show…  

on to IKEA where I picked up two utensil holders… they were not the ones I really wanted but they will work fine… the last bit of red has now left the kitchen…

 

home to put the finishing touches on supper… all excited about the reheated mashed potatoes which will not affect my blood sugar the way freshly cooked ones do…

  

been looking forward to this dinner for over a week… our tradition is to have the birthday person choose their favourite meal and that is what we have… 

roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing are one of my favourite meals… haven’t had normal mashed potatoes since Christmas dinner because of the diabetes issues… 

usually you don’t have to make your own birthday supper and my son-in-law was really against me making the dinner, but it was what I wanted…

  

it was delicious and I certainly enjoyed every mouthful…

lots of eating today…

at lunch we had a wonderful Thai soup made by a colleague… it is their specialty and is a lovely treat whenever we get it…

tonight, at aquasize I started coughing… think it might have been the chemicals in the water… a couple of others were coughing as well…once I got home I didn’t know what I wanted, so I made myself a hot lemonaide…

supper ended up being two crumpets with melted cheese on top…
