← My Way or His Way?
We will all miss the sunshine, delicious brunches, water everywhere and friendly Americans. Thank you to everyone who served us, waited on us, helped us and chatted to us. We had an excellent holiday.
A short but sweet stop over at Raleigh-Durham.
Eventually, we were home. It’s lovely to go away but also good to be home.
I bought some magazines to read in Florida and am now going to enjoy cooking some of the recipes from them.
Sunday nights dinner was quite easy and super tasty. We had blackened chicken, broccoli and a sweet potato dish baked with a brown sugar and pecan topping.
The sweet potato with pecan praline topping was delicious and worked very well with the spicy blackened chicken.
I loved having a break from the kitchen but it was great to be back in it. Blueberry smoothie for breakfast (blueberries, natural yogurt, hazelnut milk, poppy seeds and a frozen banana).
I made a chicken casserole for lunch, using vegetables from the garden. It was wonderful to be out there with my trowel, digging up carrots and my first parsnips 🙂 Strange how one parsnip was very large but its neighbour was so small! The mud washed off easily and I didn’t peel these vegetables as they are organic.
Bring the stock to a simmer, cover the casserole dish and place in the oven for 1 hour.
For supper I made a blue cheese dressing which I poured over a simple salad of lambs lettuce, tomatoes and sprouted sunflower seeds.
I enjoyed being home and cooking again and managed to eat lots of healthy food today. I definitely put on some weight on holiday, which is easily done in America. Now I need to lose it and keep going. I am looking forward to losing weight again.
I am so glad you arrived home safely without incident! Enjoy being back in your own kitchen/garden, in charge of what you eat.
Thank you Laura, I just need to make good choices now.
Thank you VGUTR. Chill? Did you see that frost this morning? Freezing.
