[Lucinda]

Sorry for the delay in posting! I couldn't get the post new thread to function.

We're having Beer Batter Swai and home made Onion Rings tonight. Not sure about veggies or dessert yet.

What's for dinner where you are?

1. I love home made onion rings! We're having leftover split pea soup

home made biscuits and a salad of mixed greens, kiwi and oranges.

17. You dinner sounds much healthier!

But I did enjoy the fish and chips!

21. I've been dieting since last October

. Five more pounds to go and then I vow to maintain that weight this time!!

[Lucinda]

22. Congratulations!

I need to lose quite a lot of weight, I've had a huge gain since my last hospital stay. Maybe some of your good energy will rub off on me.

[livetohike]

23. You can do it!! This time, I am doing a high fiber/low fat diet

I try to get 35+ grams of fiber every day. I lost 30 lbs. so far. These last five will.not.come.off!

Thanks for the Congratulations..... .

2. Comfort food..grilled cheese sandwich and chicken soup.

It's one of those days when I don't feel like cooking much and nothing really sounds appealing to me. I think the soup and sandwich combo will be just enough.

16. Always a good "go to" combo when you don't feel like cooking.

I haven't been feeling well enough to cooking much lately, so quick and easy comfort food sounds perfect to me.

3. Spring has sprung, it's BBQ. Dry rub pork chop, grilled green squash and garlicked potatoes -

all over the coals. Corn salsa on the side side plus the end of the brownies.

Killer day here, we hit the mid 70's. Did some yard work in the AM but I don't want to go inside 'till dark. Way too nice to be inside. So, it's the hibachi on the front walkway... Later.

15. It's been really gorgeous here. Cool and breezy. Saw the local bear on my deck the other night,

he seems to be enjoying the spring too!

4. Osso bucco

I change up my normal recipe when serving the kids. Instead of chopping up the carrots finely like I do the onion and celery...I keep some of them keep them chunky and add them at the end. And serve with sticky rice.

You'll have to share your recipe for the onion rings because both my kids love them, as do I!

14. We've been using a boxed beer batter, but want to find a nice light crunchy home made version

Bill cuts the onion rings very thin, so they cook well and get crispy. If we come up with a good homemade better, I'll post it.

5. Spring mix salad .

[Lucinda]

13. Always tasty, and also really pretty!

[LaydeeBug]

6. pan seared pork chops with fresh thyme and pepper with baked beans and cucumber salad. nt

[Lucinda]

12. I don't often use thyme with pork but I like it

I should do that more often.... we grow thyme in our garden, so I always have fresh available.

7. We had chicken kiev, cauliflower in alfredo sauce, parisian potatoes and strawberries with whipped

cream for dessert.

[Lucinda]

10. Fresh strawberries sounds so good right now!

I have dessert envy

[applegrove]

18. We have fresh berries almost every night.

[Lucinda]

19. We have local wild berries but it's hard to get to them before

the bears and the birds do!

[freshwest]

8. Haha. Breakfast.

[Lucinda]

9. I like breakfast for dinner!

[freshwest]

11. How are you doing, Lucinda? Hope things are looking up for you. Thanks for your work here.

[Lucinda]

20. Thank you! I've been away from DU more than I should, but I haven't

been feeling well. I see my doctor again soon, and hopefully that will get things sorted out. Thanks for asking. ?
