Pasta and ground beef with parmesan cheese (girls request post game - having daughter's friend over for dinner tonight as her parents both in the hospital now)

Cuke/tomato/mozzarella salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

home made bread - loving the King Arthur website. I'm making this bread in my dutch oven on the grill.

When I make bread or pizza dough, I keep a portion aside, let it ferment in the fridge for several days.
Gives the bread more character, and the fermentation process will allow the bread to keep longer without developing mold.

That’s a great idea.
I have sourdough starter I have been babying and using. It’s so fun!
 
Tonight will be rotisserie chicken, one we raised, salad from our garden and stuffed jalapenos, also from the garden. The filling for the stuffed jalapenos is a mix of cream cheese, smoked cheddar and some ghost and scorpion pepper mash left over from making hot sause.
The peppers will be wrapped in ghost pepper (of course) candied bacon.
 
Chinese eggplant. Stir fried with ground pork, green onion, fresh garlic, and sweet&spicy sauce. Then you simmer it until the eggplant starts to fall apart and serve over steamed rice. My favorite dish in the Chinese restaurants in Atlanta until I figured out how to cook it myself. Now I don't have to go to Atlanta to eat it.
 
That all sounds delicious. Trying to figure out what frozen meal to eat tonight. Or maybe cheese and crackers and wine?
Just got to my camper at the RV park this afternoon.
The other night I made grilled shrimp with lemon, avocado + home grown tomatoes and cucumber. Hubs and the daughter ate it up before I could get any. Haha.

Cheese and crackers and wine is my go-to easy supper, usually with some fresh fruit and vegetables too. I can't do the wine part this week, unfortunately, due to being on call for work.

Sometimes, when it really hot, the wife and I will make a plate of cheese, cold cuts, crackers and wine and sit on the back deck and enjoy watching nature.
 
Our amish neighbor brought over dinner and dessert, a barter for the eggs we give her. It was tasty, but salty and high in calories. A casserole. Dessert was whoopie pies
I will bite--- What is whoopie pie?
 
I think it's basically like a Moon Pie.
They are light and fluffy and sweet and delicious and sooooo good with a tall glass of milk.
YUM!

Yep! That's exactly what they are!
Tonight's dinner is an ice cream supper at little granddaughter's grade school. It'll be sandwiches, snacks and homemade icecream. I made a spiral ham and cheese sandwich tray and german chocolate cupcakes
 
I just stocked away more beans and rice for long term storage in jars with oxygen absorbers. I like quart jars so you don’t have to open a huge container and feel obligated to eat it fairly quickly once you break the seal. So, I had some bags with a little left in them that wouldn’t fill another jar. I decided to experiment and made seasoned rice and beans with shredded pork I had left in the fridge. I know you can live off rice and beans but adding some meat makes it a lot more satisfying. I had a side salad and a loaf of wheat and oat bread fresh out of the bread machine with it. I added some brown sugar, honey and maple syrup into the bread machine and it turned out the best tasting loaf I’ve done in a while. I’m finally getting more adventurous on doctoring bread recipes on my own here. I cook a lot but have never done a lot of baking in the past. Anyways, I’m content for the day now.
 
Sounds good, Brent. We have done something similar for lunch and the grandkids will eat it. I've been getting alot of Knorr Rice Mixes for 50 cents each at our little amish scratch and dent store. Add in some cooked beans and water leftover meat we have.
 
Sunday its Bacon and Eggs.
I did bacon and eggs this morning as well, along with homemade toast and potatoes and okra fried in the air fryer. (One of my favorites). I don’t eat these kinds of breakfasts often now but it’s good to splurge occasionally.
 
Made stuffed peppers with jasmine rice/ ground beef/ tomato sauce/ basil /mozzarella cheese - my daughter is already in here eating half of it before dinner. Haha

These heirloom peppers I grew are terrible in salads as they are so bitter and hard, but delicious baked up.
