We had hash brown bowls with sausage,egg, cheese and sweet peppers. Just something that I threw together in a hurry because we were late getting in tonight.
I made a rack of baby back ribs in the instapot. Fall apart tender in 30 mins. Great gadget, low energy consumption and it doesn't heat up the whole house during the summer. I’m dieting but still eat good food. Had green beans with potatoes and garlic bread with the ribs. I have a bowl of oatmeal with fruit for breakfast and one really good meal for dinner. I even have a snack at night with a glass of wine, and so far have been loosing just under a pound a day. Honestly, dieting kind of sucks, but allowing myself to eat a good meal at least once a day helps make it tolerable.

That sucks when your weight starts getting loose, LOL Sags and wrinkles are one of the downsides of getting old.
(sorry I just couldn't resist, LOL)
I just wish I could turn it all loose and let it get away..... it just doesn’t want to leave without a fight!

I have learned that working graveyard shifts I have packed on the pounds, . . not a good thing for me getting older and metabolism is slowing down, so I have had to watch what I have been drinking and eating the last few weeks. Yesterday was beef fajitas, but I ate mine over a salad when hunny ate his with tortillas. (Yeah I was jealous) Today I am going to eat a hamburger, without bread. . . I am awake most of the night now but still need to stay quiet while hunny sleeps and vise versa.
Night shifts are tough to get used to. We do occasional overnight emergencies and it takes me a few days to get back to normal.

Hey doc, I have another 50 ton of hay to put away. That should help with those sags.

BBQ pork ribs, blackeyed peas and okra with some Cabernet. The only thing missing was cornbread to sop up the potlikker.
These blackeyed peas were dried. This is the first time I've cooked dried blackeyed peas. Man they were sooooo much better than canned!
I can't compare them to fresh because I have only had pink eyed purple hulls fresh, and regular blackeyed peas just aren't on the same plane of existence, LOL. But for regular blackeyed peas, these were the best I can ever remember eating.

That sounds really good. It's been a while since I had black eyed peas. I think I might make some next week.
Prime Ribeye steak, sweet potato, asparagus, sauteed onion, bell peppers and mushrooms.
We're grilling burgers tonight. Haven't had any in ages.

We haven't either!We're grilling burgers tonight. Haven't had any in ages.
That reminds me, I think I'll make some 3 critter burgers tommorow.
Meat loaf and mashed potatoes and with the day I have had I’m not going to rule out a beer or two.
I plead ignorant. What's a 3-critter hamburger?
Venison, wild pig and beef
Tonight it's crawfish etouffée over rice.

The wife has a doctor appointment and then we're going to the feed store. It's in another state so we're going to Taco Bell for dinner. This silly town isn't allowing inside dinning so we'll get take away and eat down at the river.

Thanks, you gave me an idea of what to do with that chicken breast in the fridge that I need to cook!
This sounds really good, certainly much better than my supper. I just grabbed a can of vienna sausage and a couple other things from my stash. My perishable food supply is low because I was out of town this past weekend and will be busy this weekend as well, and weekends are when I usually shop and meal prep. I'm glad I always have plenty of non-perishables on hand at all times, but it certainly is much nicer to have real food. I will keep this idea in mind for next time I cook.
I made my Lasagna, ground Italian deer sausage and beef. Garlic bread.
Ribeye on the grill and air fried mushrooms and a cold glass of sweet tea , followed by a trip to the recliner. Lol
