1. Maybe a pizza.

But it's early, so that might change.

[Lucinda]

14. Pizza is always a favorite for me.

2. Leftover beef stroganof from yesterday.

[Lucinda]

13. I'm doing a lot of deliberate planning to have leftovers lately

really works out well with Bill's crazy work schedule and my not feeling too great. Stroganoff sounds great!

16. When you're cooking for one it's hard to get motivated.

So when I do fix something, I try to make at least 3 meals out of it.

[Lucinda]

18. I'm essentially in the same boat. Bill works nights and has developed

a weird eating schedule, and I'm always erratic... ... plus, I'm moving back toward veggie land again.

I am still having fish and chicken but have cut out beef and pork, so I'm developing new dishes that will work for several meals for me and then using the crockpot for main dishes for Bill. He's helping his brother with a construction project and working his regular job, so he grabs something when he can these days, which makes crockpot meals a good fit.

3. Lamb shanks.

Cooked with tomatoes, spring onions, rosemary and thyme. Green beans on the side.

12. Another lamb dinner! That makes two yesterday!

Hope you had a great meal.

15. I've got leftovers for tonight and tomorrow.

17. You know, I've never had lamb. My sister and several friends love it though!

I think watching all those cute Disney flicks at a young age made me a very reluctant carnivore.

4. Grilled lamb chops

with veggie kabobs (zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions) and rice pilaf.

[Lucinda]

11. I have actually never had lamb...but I know lots of people who love it

I'd be super happy with the veggies and rice!

5. Veggie burgers and potato salad

Beautiful day here finally and I have been outside all afternoon! Hope it lasts.

[Lucinda]

10. I hesitate to say it

but it looks like we finally have arrived at Spring...was beautiful yesterday and today is looking good so far!

6. Dilled boiled new potatoes. Shredded sharp cheddar, cracked black pepper, chopped chives and parsley

A hefty palm full of fresh dill into boiling salted water with halved new potatoes. Drained all and topped with some butter, the cheddar, chives, pepper and parsley. Let set for a while. Came out as a good peppery, cheesy potato dish.

[Lucinda]

9. It sounds really good! I've been using a lot of dill lately

and hope to grow my own soon.

7. A total mix of leftovers and random things

I made a bunch of Ukrainian food today for a friend who is coming over tomorrow when my kids will be with their dad, so we might eat some of the stuff today since I made quite a bit (especially the borscht!) But we also have left overs from my daughter's birthday meal last night (take out fried chicken) so we'll probably eat that up as well. And I'm trying to clean out the fridge...so probably random cut up veggies too.

[Lucinda]

8. That is a random mix!
