Home cooking

I’m in a complicated cooking situation.

I have no stove or oven.

I cook with electric nonstick skillet, toaster, waffle iron, crockpot (slow cooker) and microwave.

I have got cooking pasta and rice in the microwave pretty close. (Notes: they are very hot, because you have to make water boil.)

I noticed I do better when I cook. (I do not like cleaning up. Sigh.) Compared to going out so much.

I just feel with Uber Eats or Door Dash, the things are overpriced and the serving sizes have gotten smaller.

Probably the last few times orders got mixed up or the there was just something making me want more. It didn’t fix the craving or feel the void. (I need to stop ordering when I’m upset.)

Like I said there is nothing like a home cooked meal.

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.
