Breakfast was leftover Wolf brand chili with leftover broccoli with melted swiss cheese and two scrambled eggs.

Diner was leftover spaghetti with parmesan cheese.

Don't eat lunch, but will snack if hungry. Blood sugar in control.

There is leftover beef roast which I will have to see how to use for breakfast and dinner tomorrow.

God bless us, America and President Trump.

We are starting to use some of our non-perishable preps, just to keep them in the food rotation. The white rice will keep for a long time, but I've had old dried beans that wouldn't cook up, so I'm focusing on those.

I am successfully cooking up a 14 year old stash of dried red beans one pot at a time right now, with no problems whatsoever. (We are from New Orleans, so we have red beans and rice every Monday, as per tradition.)

No need to pre-soak - I just put them in the crock pot before I go to bed Sunday night, and let them cook all night and the next morning.

You CAN SAFELY cook dry beans in a crock pot - you just have to know HOW to do it.

If you could not,I would be dead now, and so would at least half of New Orleans, as that is the way most restaurants in the city cook them.

To do it SAFELY, you must cook the beans on the HIGH setting for at least 10 hours.

The beans will boil in the later hours, but it is a gentle, well controlled boil. Not a messy, bubbling all over boil.

Some of my older beans, though, I cook on HIGH for 12 or even 14 hours. But I have never had a bean too old to cook and eat, doing this.

Today was eye roast with broccoli and cauliflower. I cooked for my wife and son, but fat boy is fasting tonight. None for me!

Tonight I used a pint jar of homegrown and home canned ground beef and made taco meat. DH made himself a taco salad and I made myself some taco dip (I take some of the seasoned meat throw on some shredded cheddar, stir to melt the cheese some, add some salsa and sour cream, mix well) then use tortilla chips to dip!

Also made some candied pecans today, made a nice dessert and a nice snack for the next few days.

For DH's dinner/supper he had pork pieces browned in a skillet, brown gravy, mashed potatoes and green peas with butter. I had green pea soup with ham and a cup of mashed potatoes with butter and cheese. No dessert. I really do need to stop eating mashed potatoes.

I've got some deboned chicken from the chicken I cooked the other day, its looking like chicken salad.

God is good all the time

You brought back memories of my Mom. She would cook us beautiful meals and only have mashed potatoes and gravy on her plate.

I was tired today, long week at work. It was Wendy's for our family. But tomorrow, beef tips and noodles, mashed potatoes and a green veggie. Sunday will be pasta with sauce, salad and fresh bread.
