What's for Dinner ~ Tuesday April 17th

[Lucinda]

?

We have all the fixings for Beef Fajitas, so I think that will be the winner tonight.
I'm feeling pretty awful, so I may just snack today though.

The bear is back. He meandered through my deck the other night on his search for food. I felt bad, and fought the temptation to put something out for him. He/she is looking thin. It isn't safe for them to get too used to finding food when they forage around people though.

1. I think we might do eggs and bacon tonight, but I still haven't decided.

[Lucinda]

6. We didn't get to the fajitas before Bill left for work

so I am thinking I will have breakfast too.

2. If I get organized, it will be my one skillet mess.

Fried sliced potatoes and onions with diced ham, garlic and spices and melted cheese on top.

[Lucinda]

7. We make skillet breakfasts all the time. Bill usually

dices the potatoes and then scrambles eggs into the mix, but it sounds a lot like yours, overall...

3. Good call not to feed the bear. Once they come to get it - houses = food - it rarely ends well.

The best outcome is relocation / re-acclimation, if that's done in your area. The worst he gets put down.

[Lucinda]

8. They rarely shoot park bears here, and will only relocate them if they really

become a severe nuisance in the tourist areas. Most of us who live locally are used to them, and let them roam. We are very close to the National Park, so we see bear, and deer often.

4. Left over BBQ for now. I'm thinking a spicy vegetable stir-fry for later.

[Lucinda]

9. Spicy sounds good. We were going to have fajitas but ran out of time

I may throw some salsa on some eggs instead!

5. i'm sorry you're feeling poorly

i'm not 100 percent on dinner yet, but it will probably be chicken sausage and peppers with pasta. i've got a couple loaves of bread rising, a wheat and a white, too. my husband usually demolishes a whole loaf when i make it, so i figured i'd just start making two.

[Lucinda]

10. We can do some serious damage to fresh bread too

I haven't baked in a while, but fresh warm bread and butter are soooo good. It's hard to stop!

[fizzgig]

12. i've been making a quick rise no knead bread

little more water, little more flour and more yeast. it's ready for the oven in about 3 hours, so i've been making it a lot more. it's been at least a few months since i've purchased bread, i'm kind of proud of that

[Lucinda]

14. Have you posted the recipe for it?

I'd like to give it a try sometime.

[fizzgig]

18. just posted it

[Lucinda]

19. Thanks for sharing it! It's a great recipe!

I don't steam mine when I bake it, but the recipe works well both ways. ?

11. You sound so much better. Sorry to hear you don't feel better.

I asked DH to go into town and get a roast chicken, but he has waited so long, they are probably all gone.

So.... I will roast my own.

[Lucinda]

15. I'm faking it. Less than a week until my next doctor visit!

She's back from maternity leave, and I'm looking forward to seeing her.

We used to grab a pre-roasted chicken to make enchiladas with, when we didn't have time to roast one first. They are sooo handy to have.

13. More cauliflower in alfredo sauce, this time with italian sausage pasta. Fruit salad for dessert.

[Lucinda]

16. I love cauliflower. I don't eat it very often, but I love it.

Have you ever tried it mashed? It's really great.

[applegrove]

17. Never tried it mashed. My dad likes it baked for 40 minutes with alfredo sauce on top.

[Lucinda]

20. Cauliflower is soo versatile. I've never tried it baked with Alfredo, it sounds great!

I discovered mashed cauliflower when I was low carbing. It's soooo good.
