Creamed Spinach

I’m not a picky person. To be honest there are very few things I would eat. . .

I am not a fan of canned spinach as I cannot get pass the tinny taste and the slimy texture. However I love fresh spinach.

Quarantine cooking

Since this virus is out, doesn’t mean good and creative cooking had to stop…I have made amazing fried pork chops and fried potatoes.

Chocolate Waffles

I have a waffle iron and I made a chocolate cake batter (yes from a box.)

I sprayed the iron and made chocolate waffles.

I melt butter and mix 1-2 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix. I made like a glaze.

Beef soup

Imagine the show Chopped.

You have the following ingredients: 1 pound beef roast, can of corn, can of green beans, and rice.

I made a beef veggie soup over rice and it was hardy.

It was good to have on day when you are stuck inside avoiding a virus.

I have to say that fat on your beef is your best friend for flavor.

5 Chocolate Brownie

We baked the ultimate brownie. . .

It’s double chocolate brown mix. . . plus

We had it with a chocolate orange bar.

It was rich, but so worth the piece. . . MMMMM Chocolate.

Naughty Food

There is a term I heard called food porn. I laugh at the term, but today I took some shots if the food we made. . .

Steak. Yumm.

Phase one of dark forest cake (chocolate and cherries)

Sweet potato fries

Yummy amazing food.

Salads

Today with dinner, I had a salad. . . It was simple ice burg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarrella cheese and a poppyseed dressing. It was light and comforting.

I also love my loaded salads. Croutons, bacon pieces, lots of cheeses, even sun flowers or pecans. . The combinations are endless. . .each salad is its own piece of edible art. It is a fun, mostly healthy enjoyable piece of meal.

I grew up with having side salad at meals with extended family. I have always enjoyed them, sometimes they are my favourite part of the meal.

Sweet Breakfast

I had gotten chocolate muffins, I took fresh raspberries, and whipped cream.

I enjoyed my breakfast. It was simple and sweet.

Simple meal

Simple meal: shells and cheese and salad.

Am I the only who gets excited over cheesy pasta and salads? It’s just fresh, rich, and comfortable.
