BEDA #24. a little food prep for the coming week

Hello everyone,  no weather excitement today 🙂

We did a bit of planning for meals for the next few days.  

For supper, I made big pan of fried rice.  My fried rice has very little oil and lots of vegetables.

Son in law John made teriyaki chicken thighs

I also made a fruit tray.

We have leftovers from last night’s meal (ribs, Mac and cheese, salad, rolls and link sausage)and lots of leftovers from tonight’s meal.

The employed adults made work lunches and we will still have enough leftovers for supper the next 2 nights.  

I like cooking but I’m looking forward to a couple of days off 

We didn’t forget about breakfast.  

I made a double batch of this recipe- except I didn’t double the sausage.

I’m obviously not a skilled food photographer but this casserole looks better in person and tastes really good too.  

Hope you all have had a nice weekend 

❤️ Rhonda 

BEDA #23 supper and after supper sheltering 😳😵😱

Hello 

Supper was ribs cooked by son in law John, mac and cheese made by daughter Nina, rolls made by me and a salad. 

Then we had some exciting weather and went to our storm shelter.  

So far no big tornados have touched down and we have got some very needed rain. 

We will stay aware but don’t worry about us.  Our shelter is very safe and Oklahoma has the best meteorologists in the world.  

❤️ Rhonda 

BEDA #22 supper and replies

For supper, we had a new to us recipe

Pepperoni Rolls - the state food  of West Virginia 

They were delicious!

I used Heidi’s recipe from her YouTube channel 

We also had a big salad.

Pleasant temperatures and breezes meant we had our windows most of today

I wish everyday was like today 

Terri  this is the recipe I used for inspiration for the dipping sauce.  I didn’t cook the ham like this at all 

but for a sauce 

 I did heat up

1/2 C honey

1/4 C balsamic Vinegar 

1/4 Cup Dijon mustard 

Good pinch of red pepper flakes 

That’s all I used and it was delicious on sliced ham and grilled chicken 

Also Terri,  I’m not positive how long it blooms,  I’ll keep track of the bleeding heart but it doesn’t last long.  It is gorgeous while it’s blooms

Tammy- Jackson wears Zenni glasses too and his eye doctor approves

About the Easter buttercream eggs- I don’t have a recipe and but I think this recipe is very close to the eggs we were gifted.

Ours were definitely dipped in semisweet chocolate and were also decorated so pretty.
