Let's Get The Year Started Right!

Great pic, Ladyebug. A reminder to eat healthier!

I made the best chicken yesterday. The 2 lg chicken breasts and 4 large chicken tenders hadn't quite thawed.
I hot out my electric pot and chopped 1/2 large sweet onion and tossed it in the oil-sprayed pot. When they were soft but not caramelized I put the chicken on top, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, and poured a can of Progresso mushroom soup thinned with 1/2 can of water, and left it all to simmer slowly all afternoon.
It was so good with mashed potatoes and Italian cut green beans with carrot slices!

I think tonight we will finish up the last of the turkey and gravy over pasta, with a side salad.

Not really as hungry in the evening. I made a baked potato with all the fixin's, sour cream, chives, real bacon bits, and grated cheese. Could have used a bit more cheese but I didn't want to get up and grate some more.

Yesterday was simple - chili cheese dogs and fries. Today I will make Italian Beef for sandwiches in the crockpot.

[JoGee]

Sounds good, Pat. I'd like to eat at your house!

We finally had the Italian Beef sandwiches last night. They were a HUGE hit. Erin said "Mom, can we please have these more often?"

I made it with pork loin yesterday. E loved it. But he asked me to put BBQ sauce in them. So I did for next time. I also put part of it aside with some crushed pineapple to add Catalina sauce to it, for a sweet-sour change.

It was decided yesterday evening that I should make spaghetti. So that's what I did.

I am makng a meatloaf recipe a friend posted on FB. It uses stuffing mix and dry onion soup mix ( I know, tons of sodium) but the picture just looked good to me.
Broccoli and mixed green salad will hopefully, make up the difference!
