Then put it all together and topped it with grilled chicken breast and fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

After a nice savory dinner, I was looking for something sweet. Passing the counter I noticed that teh bananas had reached their peak, and if not eaten soon they would become banana bread. So, I grabbed a banana, the Moose Tracks ice cream from the freezer, some chocolate syrup, whipped cream, maraschino cherries and a Kit-Kat candy bar. The rest is history...big smile on the face history. :lol:

Eggplant! Have not had any for years. Wife does not care for it but I love it. I can eat it till my belly hurts. Mom could burn through 3 nice big ones at one meal when we were kids.:clap: Yours look super, Peeps!
 
The kids had a 40th anniversary party for us last night at DD's home. DD and her friend, Nicole, did all the planning and cooking, while I played grandpa with Alexa and made sure the cooks stayed hydrated with whatever they wanted. Here was the menu...

Onions & peppers

SWMBO was not happy about this stunt by me, and I stood there while she returned the favor.

I grilled up boneless pork loin chops with corn on the cob. We fixed a plate and took it down to the neighbor lady. And I have one chop left for breakfast!:clap:
 
Congrats Joe on your 40th!
What a feast they prepared for you.
Your veggie burgers look really good.

I made seasoned turkey patties, with mashed potatoes and broccoli (was going to make turkey gravy, but decided against it).

One for me, one for Gretch and two for tomorrow.
I'll make a sandwich with one of the leftovers tomorrow, with tomato, lettuce and honey dijon dressing.

DW makes the salads. This one is mixed greens with dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, garlic croutons, almond slices, grated Mozzarella and her homemade sweet dressing (cider or red wine vinegar, canola oil, sugar, salt & pepper). She makes it without measuring any ingredients.
 
1# Hillshire Polska kielbasa, onions, mixed peppers, broccoli and new potatoes. This is a one-pan meal. Literally, you cut everything up, throw it in the pan and simmer it for 20 minutes with the cover on the pan. No oil or liquid is needed, as the fat from the sausage and moisture in the veggies provide all the necessary liquid. Stir once or twice and plate it. Bread & butter with a tossed salad finishes the meal.

Might have to copy that for tonight Joe. Been watching some broccoli in the garden and have a few peppers ready. Since Joe hollered about pics here is last nights taco salad. Crunched up tortilla chips with a layer of taco meat, then shredded cheddar, lettuce and tomatoes. Then topped it off with the rest of the meat. Probably about 3/4 lb. of burger on it! Was very good.

I had that last week and now I want it again. Looks so good.
 
After looking at pancakes over on NCT, me and DW agreed that pancakes would be a great dinner. Sooooo, I kicked it up a notch and made roll-ups filled with raspberry preserves and cottage cheese, then topped with sour cream. For the doubters, this is a GREAT combination. Oh, I also added 1 tsp. each of vanilla & orange extracts in the batter. It was da bomb!

ensure. got a stomach bug. my Mom was just w/ it. gotta drink the half in the container yet. lost the 1st half. ugh. despise stomach bugs, especially when i can't keep the anti-nausea meds in.
 
We had a widow friend over for dinner, so I made my 4-cheese & spinach whole wheat raviolis, a small loaf of bread from pizza dough, and DW made her killer salad. The girls had cookies for dessert, and I'm holding out for Moose Tracks later on. Urp!
