Hump Day Poll: I'd Love For You To Participate

I was thinking about how different over the years I've realized all of our holiday food is.  As many of us enter (or are in) the second part of our lives, we find our holidays are changing.  Whether that's through kids and/or grandkids moving away, loved ones passing away especially those considered the long time 'glue' of the family or maybe you moved yourself or found it necessary to not participate in gatherings anymore.  Some people like myself like to make traditional foods to keep tied to family and some like to start all new traditions because they feel tied down by those old standbys.  But if I may, I'd like to encourage those of you who still have big families to please get something like this to bring to family gatherings for people to write down their famous recipes.  It hits different to see the person's handwriting when they're no longer here and they likely can write it down from memory (or at least the ingredients and you can get back to the...

Friday Food Journal 6/17-22

Man this week has gone kinda fast! I'm in a good mood because our Hawaii trip is booked for next year and now we just have to start saving for it!  HA!  But you came by to see the eats so...altogether now...let's eat!

Sunday was Pesto Chicken Mexican Naan Pizza and steamed brussels sprouts.  It was quite yummy!  Calories: 688


Monday we had a friend over for dinner and I made my Spicy Mexican Stuffed Shells which she loved and rainbow salad.  I cheated and used frozen corn.  It was still good but I'll be using fresh corn from now on.  Calories: 750


Tuesday I took 3 oz of the leftover "guts" from the shells and used it to make a quesadilla.  I added spinach and a little cheddar with caramelized onions and a side of rainbow salad.  Calories:  624


Wednesday was a quick dinner.  Pacific Crab Stuffed Flounder and grilled asparagus with 1/2 slice of bacon, basil, scallions and asiago sprinkled on top.  Calories:  382


Thursday was a quickie too.  Salmon burger with 1 tbsp of teriyaki glaze and a side of brussels sprouts with bacon.  Calories:  343


Tonight was fish tacos with broccoli slaw and some fresh dill and cilantro from the garden to mix it up and little and the last of the rainbow salad.  Calories:  586

I hate to report and run but I hear the Mr just paused the movie and is getting irritated for me to come and join him watching The Game.  (affiliate link)  Haven't seen that in forever.  Okay, gotta run but feel free to leave any inspiring eats you had this week in the comments!

Have a great weekend!
