Dinner tonight was leftover roast beef. I heated it up in the oven with lots of butter. I added a chunk of one of my favorite cheese on the side - Clawson Scarlet White Stilton® & Cranberry. Simple, but good!

Lunch - March 19, 2013

Today's lunch is an open-face ham (Applegate Farms honey ham) and pepper jack cheese pumpernickel sandwich and sliced tomato with mascarpone (BelGioioso) and chipotle powder. I think I am in love with mascarpone. This is the first time I've tried it. I may like it as much as Crème fraîche!

Lunch - March 16, 2013

Ground pork sausage and scrambled pasture eggs:

So simple, but so good. Why buy packaged faux foods when you can eat real food!? It can't be the cost since this meal cost less than $2.00! The media and government have done a great job of brain-washing the past 40 years ...

Dinner - March 14, 2013

Today was a very long day. Traveled over 40 miles on my bike today. Got home after 6. My mom made a quick meal of sliced hot dogs (uncured chicken Rocky Dogs), raw sauerkraut (Sonoma Brinery) and sliced sweet potatoes fried in bacon grease and sprinkled with lemon pepper. Yum!

Dinner - March 10, 2013

Such a good dinner tonight. I just love lamb in any form. This was broiled lamb shoulder chop with Trader Joe's 21-spice blend sprinkled on it. Sweet potato slices fried in bacon grease (my mom over-cooked them a bit - some were a bit crispy like chips, but still good.) Tomato wedges with Bellwether Farms Créme Fraîche.

Lunch - March 10, 2013

Today's lunch was simple, but very good. Wild salmon baked in butter and sprinkled with onion powder, garlic powder and chili powder. It was so tender.

Dinner - March 9, 2013

I stopped at a grocery store I don't normally shop at today and discovered they carry a fish that I haven't had in years because my usual stores don't stock them. Smelts! This was a favorite when I was younger.
I also found blood oranges. I've wanted to try them for a while, so bought a couple. I am allergic to regular (navel) oranges, but can tolerate Mandarins, Clementines and tangerines without problem. So far, I seem to be okay with bloods, too!
The smelts were coated in pastured egg, milk and rice flour before frying in coconut oil.

Dinner - March 5, 2013

My busy day ended with a very good meal.
My mom used the last of the BBQ sauce I made for her the other day (I'll have to get that recipe up on the blog later in the week.)
She coated a whole chicken leg/thight with it and NuWaved it. Then, there were yummy mashed sweet potatoes with butter. And, a nectarine to top it all off! So good.
