Chocolate dipped strawberries with pineapple salad

by **KRSTY** on Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:11 am

Sandwiches last night. Probably the same tonight with a bowl of fresh fruit salad. Just too hot to use the stove.

I just started this about a month ago, it makes less mess, they cook faster and they are great for lunches, etc.

We'll have to swap meatloaf recipes, I have about 5-6 different ones.

I'm betting yours are fantastic.........see ya.

by **LifeChanges** on Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:36 am

They're actually very simple. It's the ketchup sauce that makes them.

by **starreborn** on Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:59 pm

i actually cooked a real meal tonight. i made a cornish game hen with angel hair pasta and peas, and i will have the leftovers tomorrow.

by **LifeChanges** on Wed Jul 11, 2012 7:11 pm

Yay!

I've never cooked one of those. Was it hard?

by **starreborn** on Wed Jul 11, 2012 7:45 pm

motivating myself to actually cook is usually hard for me, so yeah. :lol:

but the weather has been rainy and cooler lately (a nice relief), which i guess put me in the mood for it.

cornish game hens are pretty easy to cook, though. i just sprinkle a mix of seasonings on it, put a little water on the bottom of the pan, and bake at 375 for about an hour (till the juices run clear).

by **KRSTY** on Thu Jul 12, 2012 6:32 am

OMG! starr cooked! Break out the champagne and lets celebrate with her.

*does a little dance* :cabbagepatch:

It sounds great starr. Quite yummy indeed. Big thumbs up on that meal.

What ever is in the panty to simply heat up. I haven't been in the mood to cook.

I was doing so good...then they started whispering sweet nothings to me from the cabinet. The chocolate milk got jealous and I had to make it feel better

by **gargoylegoil** on Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:24 am

Probably nothing

by **LifeChanges** on Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:47 am

How bout a jar of Nutella?

by **gargoylegoil** on Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:56 am

That made me giggle...I don't have an appetite when I go home at night.

by **LifeChanges** on Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:57 am

Have you tried drinking a tea that would increase your metabolism? Maybe it would get you to eat. You need to eat something sweetie

by **gargoylegoil** on Wed Jul 25, 2012 9:13 am

I do eat during the day at work, it's just when I'm home. Believe me I can live off my body for months.....

by **starreborn** on Wed Jul 25, 2012 1:42 pm

i'm definitely not in the mood to cook tonight, and i'm feeling kinda yucky anyway, so probably something light and easy.

by **LifeChanges** on Wed Jul 25, 2012 4:06 pm

Tonight, I went back to my roots...
Herring fish in a can with mustard and crackers, thank you dad for teaching me that acquired taste

And a bowl of Malt-O-Meal, thank you grandma for cheap filling breakfasts

by **LifeChanges** on Thu Jul 26, 2012 7:16 am

Pot roast with carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, potatoes, and herbaceous seasonings

Yummy

by **gargoylegoil** on Thu Jul 26, 2012 7:23 am

Now THAT sounds yummy LC......I wish I had someone to cook a pot roast for. It was so much fun when we cooked together.

You can still make one for yourself and have leftovers

Cooking for only yourself allows you the opportunity to be adventurous with your seasonings. I know, because I've been there. It was very therapeutic for me to pick a complicated dish. I had to focus on the steps of the recipe so it came out right. It's a good way to divert your thoughts. But to each his own, right?

by **gargoylegoil** on Thu Jul 26, 2012 7:41 am

I may get back into cooking once I'm settled, but for now I just order out for lunch. Hard to cook when you don't have an appetite, for me, anyway.

by **LifeChanges** on Thu Jul 26, 2012 7:44 am

Lol, sometimes I cook just for the hell of it. Because I want to look at a pretty dish, or so I can say I made that. Then I'm not hungry by the time it's done.

by **gargoylegoil** on Thu Jul 26, 2012 8:47 am

I hate doing dishes....LOL

I like doing the dishes. Does this make me sick and disturbed???

I will do them for you GG :hugs:

Tonight we are having kabobs and veggies on the grill. Maybe I'll throw some brown rick in there. Sounds kinda good. Munchies at the drive-in later

by **Vulcanoid** on Fri Jul 27, 2012 10:57 am

A few beers since I'm not hungry. Maybe some melon later in the night.

by **KRSTY** on Sun Jul 29, 2012 10:48 am

Sick and disturbed? naw, just clean and motivated maybe.

@ Vulcanoid
You really have to take better care of yourself. I know you are a student and all, but you need a meal from time to time.

Don't worry about me. I haven't died yet.
MY dinner tonight, about 1 liter of beer and slice of pizza. I left the rest of it to me gf. My body is able to withstand hunger on beer alone.
