Gad About

Right now I feel like we are on the road a lot.  

We had errands and meetings most of yesterday.  We had quite a to do list, but we were able to get everything accomplished.  We're continuing to prepare for retirement and almost all of our errands and meetings centered around that.  We're feeling better about our plan so that is good. 

 I did pick up some fresh fruit and veggie top offs while I was out.  Walmart Neighborhood Market was on our route so it was an easy in and out. I came home with strawberries, pineapple, bagged lettuce, mushrooms, white onions, carrots, bell pepper, cucumbers, lemon, 3 cartons of soy milk, a cake mix, and a candy bar for my daughter.  

One of my jars of sweet potatoes didn't seal, so I heated them up (added cinnamon but no sugar) for a side.

Made a quick garden salad.

I seasoned some ground turkey, made up patties, and cooked them in the air fryer.

While they were going I sauteed some onions, mushrooms, and bell pepper in a tiny bit of olive oil.

My family loved the turkey cooked that way so I'll remember it for the future. (Quite easy and little mess to clean up.)

Today is another crazy day.  I have an appointment at the Heart Center midday, and then my daughter has a meeting I am supposed to attend tonight.  I'm kind of hoping to get a few odd jobs around the house done in between the two.

Kitchen Duty

I've been trying to keep kitchen duty light and it has meant a change in shopping, but needs must kind of thing.

 

 

a kind of sort of Italian sausage sub

I had limited energy, so I used a purchased whole wheat roll.

Sliced a vegan Italian sausage, added some bell pepper and onion, and sautéed it all with a tiny bit of olive oil.  Then I stirred in a couple of tablespoons of marinara and let it heat.

A quick topping of Daiya mozzarella. 

 

 

 

My sister took care of brunch on Sunday -- delicious by the way!

Then I had more energy for cooking on Sunday evening. 

I made my first ever egg rolls -- I used up a bag of broccoli slaw mix, some mushrooms, onion powder, and a bit of Bragg's Liquid Aminos to make the filling.

I brushed them very lightly with oil and air fried them.

 

 

 

This was my Aldi find of vegetarian chili.  There's a baked potato under there and a light topping of Daiya cheddar.  Extremely easy, filling and inexpensive.
