While sorting out the freezer and trying to organize items. I found a nice steak and will be fixing that today along with mushrooms and golden Yukon potatoes, simple but so good. Our Son dropped off a box of Claxton fruits cakes that be found at Sam’s Club this morning, so we will have that and coffee later. I am one of those folks that really like good fruitcake. When I had the salon, one of our clients would bring in a big box of Claxton cakes that one of her organizations would sell though the holidays, that has been nearly 45 years ago and I look for them every year, I think they are the best.

Didn’t have any dinner tonight (had homemade pizza at the deli today) but I was definitely being bad and had a cup of tea, two homemade chocolate chip cookies and a small square of homemade chocolate chip brownie. It sure tasted good but now I’m chastising myself for eating sweets. I need to lose at least 15 pounds but it’s so hard to do I don’t seem to have the will power right now. When lent comes I plan on giving up desserts so I guess I may as well eat what I want now.

Another weird weather da here, snow is starting to melt and temps rising, rain and more winds on the way. Last week we lost a tree and had wind damage to our house, a costly week for sure, so I am not looking forward to this weekend of rain and gusting winds.
Tonight for dinner I am fixing pan tried pork chops, gravy, boiled red potatoes, green beans, fried apples and cheddar biscuits This morning I baked brownies and made shortcake to have with strawberries for later. I am looking forward to doing some cooking and baking this weekend to keep busy.
Weather channel is saying more storms for folks in the South, please remember them in your prayers. Thank you.

I have discovered the world of air frying!! Why did I wait so long. Hubby surprised me with an air fryer a couple weeks ago. I have used it several times and am amazed how well they work. I am not one that like to fry foods, but some thing have to be fried to taste good. I have always used my toaster oven that has a convection setting for frozen breaded foods and fries etc. but items were never crispy–nothing compares to the air fryer. I talked my Son into purchasing one, he is single and eats way to many fast foods that are not healthy, he purchased one and loves it, he has stocked his freezer with all sorts of goodies and is loving the fryer it is so simple to use, Tonight I am fixing a whole chicken and baked potatoes, and creamed lima beans for dinner. The one that Hubby purchased is quite large for just the two of us but I like it for roasts and whole chickens. The rotisserie chicken at the grocery are about $8 and I don’t care for the amount of salt and some of the seasonings that are used. Another favorite is fish and hush puppies—yum. We also purchased a compact model that we leave out all of the time for a quick snack etc. the big one goes in the pantry.
We found the best prices on the one we have at Sam’s Club.

My son and DIL have an air fryer and they like it. I may have to borrow theirs and try it out before I invest in one.

Not sure at this point. Probably something simple.
I did a lot of cooking over the weekend. Had a granddaughter graduate high school Sat. and had a family bbq after.

One of my favourite pizza is pepper, onion, and mushroom pizza. I prefer this for dinner for most of the time. I always prefer to cook pizza in the outdoor ilFornino wood fired oven rather than ordering it from restaurant because it taste well. If some drinks such as beer are available then it double the taste of pizza

I have not felt like doing a lot of cooking of late and have been so grateful for things we have in the freezer. Tonight we are having fish and chips and hush puppies.

Making a BIG pot of chili. It has been quite cold here and we had our first snow yesterday so my son asked me to make chili. I am baking some cornbread to go with.
