What's for Dinner?

Yep.

And always have oatmeal for a backup. LOL I'm on a new kick with that...even if I eat something else, I want to end the day with oatmeal! But no garlic on that. Though I bet there's a way to do savory oatmeal. Gotta think about that one.

 

Kale & turnip greens & onion cooked in country ham pieces. Cornbread.

 

Must be in the air FoG, I was having one the same day, though it didn't hit fully until Saturday, when I also ended up needing treatment!

It's still in the background, so I'm making stuff that doesn't smell too strong. Tonight is grapes, plus rice cooked with...a meat I can't explain. It's a Chinese thing. I know what to buy when I go, but don't remember the names of stuff!

I may switch that to tomorrow and do chicken with roasted potatoes and almond green beans instead. Depends on whether I think I can best handle the smell of the meat or the smell of the Parmesan used on the potatoes.

The smell of spaghetti is always scary with a migraine, but the worst? Cooked green peppers. I remember being at work with one, they refused to let me leave as they were short handed and needed at least a body there to avoid state intervention over how short staffed it was that night, and the cafeteria (medical setting, I was taking care of people) was making stuffed peppers. I ended up on the floor, couldn't even stand, and finally ended up having someone come get me. The person in charge was so mad that she put in for me to be fired because "she didn't notify us when she was throwing up, leaving the residents unattended while she was unable to help them." YA THINK?!
I forgot about that. The DON had a good head on her shoulders though and simply chided her for not stepping in and HELPING on the floor instead of staying in the office, especially if she was so very concerned for the residents. I miss that lady - she was excellent at her job and at making that a wonderful place for the residents and the employees.

Though - stuffed green peppers DO sound wonderful. Hrm. LOL Nope, can't, but if I can get a good month or two of no auras or signs of a migraine, I might just go for it! Or stuffed cabbage. It's been FOREVER!

Anyone got a good recipe? I haven't made stuffed cabbage in years. And I really mean years, as in my kids were still in diapers then.

 

Cereal - Grape Nut Flakes, to be exact. It's the first time I tried the flakes style. It's really good! Also had dark cherry yogurt a bit before that.
I love the regular Grape Nuts but it's too hard on the teeth once you get older (not I didn't say I, I said you, lol, DENIAL) but even with the hard stuff, it is delicious if you pour milk in it and eat it hot.

 

Made a "taco ring." I saw the recipe online and it came from a Pampered Chef site. I set up a "toppings platter" next to it. I think everyone liked it - a line formed and the next thing I knew, it was gone!

Of course, I changed it without having ever made it before. :laugh: I roasted garlic and mashed it with some butter and olive oil and brushed the crescent rolls generously after laying them out. With the filling, I used less meat and added refried beans.

The garlic butter/oil stuff helped balance the sweetness of the crescent rolls out. I'll definitely have to add this to the rotation of easy dinners to throw together.
