My friend from church makes it with grapes and pecans. SO yummy. I'm thinking I might get chicken salad this week. Miss E is at my mom's for the week, AFTER I'd already bought four chicken leg quarters. If Schmoo doesn't eat Miss E's portion for his lunch, I can turn it into chicken salad to fill a pita with. I have leftovers from the veggie platters from my dad's party today for lunches this week, I just need to worry about pita fillings.

Cindy and Ria, Both of those sound so good- I did use Hellmanns, and sliced some scallions (green onions in some parts) into it-Laid it out on a french roll, I'm the only one in our house who likes chicken salad.. I tend to forget my own likes in favor of what my family always wants. . The husband is at work so I indulged in something I like..
So again, Thank you Cindy for suggesting it- It was delicious.
I had a chicken wrap & pretzels. Mr. Other Half had ribs.
I fried up some bologna and had sandwiches. A favorite from my childhood.
Sissy has some bologna and I was thinking about frying me up some for sammies, but it's a week old now, so no thanks. I'm going to get me some later and do it up with lettuce. Been a long time. Thanks for reminding me, Nava.
Tonight, I may have toaster sammies, or potted meat without chips, or Sissy might bring me something. IDK.
Well, Today we had BBq slow cooker rib tips- Lemon rice.. I dunno, its just too damned hot to want food.
We have central air but really, I am really afraid of what our electric bill will be this month! Dang heat! Wish it would just go away...Can't wait for autumn!
Eggs on toast tonight here something quick and easy for us
Sissy keeps ours on 68 or 69 year round. Right now I have two fans going as well, plus a housecoat on, otherwise I'd be freezing. I winter I use a warm air blower, otherwise I'd be freezing.
We had chicken, biscuits, and corn on the cob. Good eats and enough left for breakfast and dinner tomorrow.
Turkey burger with melted mozzarella on a bun, with broccoli,celery and tomatoes on the side, and a dollop on ranch dressing.
Pork steaks, mashed taters, and green beans. And now I have a tummy ache.
I drank half a bottle of vodka last night, and as usual didn't want anything to do with food until later on in the afternoon today. I'm never hungry after drinking. Last thing I put in my mouth yesterday was a few pretzels around 7pm. I went almost 24 hours without eating which is not good for me because I have trouble starting to eat again.

Hi Ria, I don't drink on a regular basis, But occasionally have tried vodka with coke and for some reason going down its good, .But good heavens a little later it felt like I had a sore throat!
Tonight for dinner? Husband is working so, Probably throw an asian-ramen salad together...Kids seem to like that.
I don't drink at all. Because Mr. Bud destroyed my family and Mr. 1800 Tequila wrecked my marriage. I don't judge people who do drink. Matter of it not being any of my bee's wax. But nobody is going to do it around me. Well, I'll excuse FAD members who drink while I'm on here.
Tonight, as far as I know, I'm having leftover chicken reincarnated as Chick Fil A sammies. Haha.
Hi Cindy, I know where you are coming from...My parents were both mean/violent drinkers..
My father could not tolerate whiskey- it was fire water for him..
I will occasionally have a drink, But its like once in a blue moon type thing..I cannot drink more than two...I don't like feeling tipsy- And they must be diluted with something like coke and lots of ice.
Never could stand Beer- My husband will maybe have a beer with pizza but heck, Its been over 2 years on that..
I am not mean or violent when I have a cocktail like my parents use to be. Thank heavens.
i too don't judge, We have married close friends who kick back a few vodka martinis each every night but as long as they don't affect our lives..Like you say: Its not our business..
Ooh, Chik fil A,! That sounds really good! We have not been since they took their cole slaw off the menu...
Loved their slaw!
Not that Chick fil A. My chick fil A a la making fried chicken sammies out of last night's Popeye. Brings back memories of my collage days. Almost every single Sunday lunch was fried chicken, cream potatoes, some other side, and chocolate brownie topped with hot fudge and whipped cream, because that is what our chancellor, Dr. Roberson, wanted. And for dinner we were served the leftovers and loaf bread.
Hi Cindy, That sounds really good! As a kid (and even now) Fried chicken has always been my favorite!
We have a Popeyes here but I've never been there..(we are transplants) lol.
We also have a KFC, (but who doesn't right?) But their food is nasty.
What are cream potatoes?
Dang it! Now I'm hungry! Lol
A frozen dinner, for the first time in about 40 years. I've been wanting turkey and dressing for several weeks but not about to cook a huge meal. I had daughter pick up aa frozen dinner. It was ok, but now I doubt if I eat turkey and dressing for a long stretch.
Well, it's not much different from mashed potatoes, really. We call it cream because we whip the ingredients with a mixer instead of using a masher. After the potatoes are done, we dump them in a bowl, throw in some mayo, salt and pepper, and add milk until they are creamed to a consistency a bit thicker than oatmeal.
Yeah, thought I wanted one of those last month. It was nasty. Ew. Never again. I have eaten them that were good, though. I love the pasta and the meatloaf and cream potatoes is out of this world.
No clue. Hubby's sleeping, Miss E's at my mom's, not sure where Schmoo's at. I was going to make spaghetti, but probably not. Or I might make it later. Not sure if I'll be able to eat anything. I still have a tummy ache. Skipped breakfast and managed lunch at work, double California burger and cheese fries. Haven't eaten anything else today. You know, with how sporadic my eating is, I'm surprised I'm still so heavy. I skip meals all the time. Fast for almost 24 hours at least once a week, usually after drinking. I only drink one night a week, though.

That's me. I was diagnosed years ago as "borderline" anorexic because of the skipping meals, fasting, need to have my food be just so before I can eat, etc. I am proof that you can have anorexic tendencies and still be heavy. Skipping breakfast is normal for me, because when I worked at McD's I'd be taking my break between 9am and 10am, which was still early enough for breakfast. But then I'd skip lunch, unless it was few days before my "Shark Week," so I'd have appetite for dinner with the fam.
Now that I'm at Freddy's, I don't go on break until 1pm or 2pm, so I really need to be dragging my ass out of bed early enough for breakfast before I leave. I was getting Jimmy Dean sausage egg and cheese muffins and El Monterey (I think?) breakfast burritos and having one of each in the morning before I left, but I started getting burnt out on those. Plus the burritos are like $8 for a package of 8, and I can get 18 eggs, cheese, and tortillas for less than that and make them myself. I can spend even less if I want to get adventurous and make my own tortillas, which I HAVE done.
I'm 42, about to be 43 in two months. My appetite comes and goes. Lately I've been having a rough go of it. I'm a sexual abuse survivor and those issues are back front and center for me yet again. Which is another thing that drives my appetite away. I wake up from a nightmare when my alarm goes off, think about breakfast, and my stomach turns.

Spinach/Shroom/Garlic thin crust pizza & vegs if Man goes out of town. If he doesn't, I'm thinking a veggie burger with a side of veggies.
No clue about dinner tonight, no clue how many's going to be here. Miss E is with my 'rents till the weekend, so there'll be at the very least 3. I have NO clue if Hubby's working or where Schmoo is. I'm not hungry, I ate after work. I wasn't hungry when I went on break, so I didn't eat anything. It was only a 15-minute break anyway, as I was working a six-hour shift. After I clocked out, though, I got hungry so I ordered a patty melt with fries and a large drink. Ate the sandwich and half the fries.

Grilled chicken breasts, grilled corn on the cob, grilled steam veggies and some sort of pasta, maybe some grilled garlic french bread. This is a summer staple, since I live in AZ and it's 109 outside, I don't cook to much inside.

My man is on his lil road trip till tomorrow so tonight it's going to be the pizza and veggies I was going to have last nite,with a vodka drink and chocolate for laters
Frozen pizza. After I cook it, of course. Hubby's doing laundry and Schmoo is working so I don't have to make dinner tonight. Woot! Works well because I have an online video conference for my other job in a little over an hour.

Pork chops, not sure what else, maybe fried green tomatoes.
It's too hot!!! Add humidity to the mix and its damned hot! so...Maybe store bought sushi rolls or watermelon but probably not both...Did I say it was hot?
I agree, H&H, it's scalding hot. I made the pork chops and wished for ice cream.
Well, I was GOING to make chicken, green beans, and mashed 'taters. BUT I got home too late. So, we're having grilled hot dogs and cheesy brats with tater tots. Friday night food.

A cup of coffee. I will then be in this thread...the only one that will be active tonight. Lol
Chocolate birthday cake. My twins turn 35 on the 5th, and I'm feeling old.
Homemade cheeseburgers. I am now waiting on a bottle of water to chill in the freezer because I "have thirsties."

Probably a stirfry-maybe a glass of wine...

Roast chicken, mashed 'taters, broccoli, and green beans. Nummy nums. It's actually a super late lunch, I started it when we got back from church. Leftover cheeseburgers from last night if anyone is hungry later. Which I need to try to eat again later. Not been the best of eaters this weekend. *sigh*

Thanks. Just been a week of very little appetite is all. When my past comes back to haunt me, as it does quite often, I'll lose my appetite. I do everything I can to entice myself to eat more. I went to the grocery store Wednesday and bought a few extra things that I like in hopes of being able to eat more.
