I don't need to cook ALL day to cook for a week ...


Three chicken breasts ($2.76):
One for Mil's mid evening treat ... she won't even eat an entire breast but prefers unseasoned
One for me ... barbecued w/sprigs of rosemary
One for me ... roasted w/sprigs of thyme/cloves of garlic/slices of lemon

boiled small organic yams

Chicken breasts are fried to crispen skin/flavor then roasted for about 45 minutes.
Important NOT to overcook as some of this gets reheated in the week and is quite juicy!
The yams boiled just til tender so they can either be reheated, fried or even eaten cold...they're so yummy and sweet.
The chicken breast with the garlic is quite large and will provide two meals for me. This one is quite nice with sauteed mushrooms and all are eaten with something green and fresh.
(Some of these cooking shows are so full of it!)

Why Sunday a.m. is so delicious ...

simple, quick, nothing fancy
warm pureed sweetened raspberries
buttery biscuits (in a can)
small chunk of thick sliced bacon
coffee, of course!

Thursday nite ...


A taste for steak or is it a taste for horseradish sauce?!
Dipping these pan roasted fingerlings into ketchup at meal's
end was like dessert ... so was the horsey-sauce
