What do you guys eat when it's just little old you?

Hi changing

I've put them in a salad and that's why I had a tin of them. but shopping was today so I cleaned out some things, like the tin of peas, the 1 bran muffin in a container and the 1 carrot muffin in another container, as I keep the muffins in the freezer, so was making room.

I love that I can eat what I want, when I want and no man who wants a gourmet dinner every night!

For lunch, I'm having a turkey BLT Wrap that I bought when shopping.

I bought some Robitussin ($12.08) for my cough to see how it works, but if it is not as good as the hot salsa I have been using (cheaper) I will stick to the salsa.

Ha Ha Ha

That was a very nice explanation of gelato.

Thanks, Lily.

As for chic peas for dinner....

two thumbs up.

Beans are a wonderful food group and I'm able to eat them straight from the can.

-------Then on top of the BLT for lunch that I bought, I picked up a seafood salad for dinner. Yum yum!! A Lemon Dressing was included and WOW! I enjoyed that! Never had it before.

Something I've never had is a trifle so picked up a Country Harvest one. Oh so yummy looking and the fat content was off the charts.

I thought I would have just a couple of spoonsful, but I got the line a bit crooked and I tried to fix it up and it kept wavering until ¼ of it was gone, but it was more than a ¼. Oh goodness! I cheated!

So I tried to patch it up to look good, but had to eat the small ¼ to even it out in the container.

Now there is a good looking ½ left awaiting me.

Well I keep talking about Shark Steaks...love them..Cajun style...for a few years now (lol) but forget to get them when I'm out...and that would probably be eating with just little old me...for the family think of the sharks...eating them....and cringe when I say I want them to try it...

Tonight it's chicken for me...and tommorrow I will talk about shark steak again...and forget..


Love

Deb,

Isn't Mahi Mahi shark? Try it by another name. Maybe it won't "smell" the same.

Just wanted you to know, a few weeks ago the NY Times had a BIG article about the Jersey tomato. I was so tempted to post the link...

[LilyCat]

Okay, all you chick-a-peas  --- today's NY Times has a cp salad recipe.

This is very much like a salad a mideastern acquantance of mine made years ago -- but I don't think she had the feta and olives. I really liked it and have always wanted the recipe. (She was someone another friend knew, so I never saw her again)

Such a healthy food.... and the chic pea salad looked fresh and healthy too, Lily.

I like to sautee them with chicken stock, tiny diced carrots, onion and parsley...... more than a bit of butter for flavor and to thicken..... a handful of baby spinach in at the end.

I had it with black chic peas the first time but settled for white ones when I re created for Christmas dinner that year.

  I've been doing a bit of reading on the board, read this thread, so I had to pop in a moment.

  Belated Happy Birthday to you, Lilycat !

  Lighter, guess what I have when I go to a movie theater ?  Popcorn and Milkduds !

  I'm going to have to try making something with chickpeas one of these days....

Glad to see you posting, catspaw.

Thank you, Catspaw! Much appreciated. (Just saw this now, was away for a few days.)

...oh boy. Last night I tried yet another flavor of Ciao Bella gelato. One I thought I wouldn't like.

Boy, was I wrong!

It's called maple and ginger snaps -- and oh boy! It is SOOOOOOOOO good! It has little pieces of really good ginger snaps in it.

I'm in big trouble here!! (But I had it for dinner, so not too bad...)

Lily:

What's the nutritional information on that stuff read like?

Lighter

[LilyCat]

The gelato? Funny you should ask. I just checked last night. For a half cup it was 180 calories; the fat wasn't too bad for such a thing -- I think it was 80 of the 100. It really feels and tastes like superpremium ice cream, though, and it's more dense so you don't really HAVE to have as much (ha!) -- so it's really quite a caloric bargain in that respect. Better than sp ice cream, actually.

The sorbet is really nominal -- about 80 calories, I think, no fat and usually has a pretty good vitamin content.

I'll try to remember to look at the label again tonight.

Thanks Lily.... that gingersnap flavor sounded interesting..... I imagine the cookies have a nice crunch.

We like to freeze fruit here and have frozen smoothies, then make popsicles out of the extra. 

There's about 6 kinds of popsicles in the freezer.... who knows what's they are?  Some are just strawberries, some pineapple and blueberry some pineapple and apple.... you never know what you'll get.

Very nice though and I feel good about giving it to the children.

I've haven't been able to bring myself to purchase storebrands for years.  All cornsyrup and junk: /

[LilyCat]

Lighter, I apologize. I forgot to look at the container last night. I'll try again tonight!

Popsicles sound good! I love to have them around because they're very satisfying and practically no calories. Have always meant to make my own but ... never have!!

[lighter]

For a while there I was making popcicles in little plastic dixie cups with plastic spoons inserted.  If you make frozen fruit slushies the spoons stand up on their own.  Just be careful about how precariously perched the little cups are.  Very sticky mess if they go over before freezing solid.
