I still persevere with an open fire and a woodstove,the stove is kind of like the heart of the house in Winter …keeping the house warm and producing some wonderful roasts 🙂
 
So far, just a piece of cheese and water. Still exhausted after the installation of new water heater. Waiting on Aleve to kick in.

Mama had fish, cheese and water (w MiO).
 
Our menu: Pizza, burgers, fries, bread sticks, chicken wings, chicken sandwiches, salad and Pepsi. I am sooo stuffed.
 
I had two pieces of whole wheat toast for dinner.

When I was in college in the NE, the temperature dropped to -22 one day. That was the actual temperature, not the wind chill. Thank goodness the electricity stayed on! I’m happy to live in warm, sunny LA for the rest of my life!
 
Barb made a pot of turkey-rice soup and some whole wheat rolls for dinner…it was really good…we each ate two bowlfuls…fortunately, it was a BIG pot…there’s enough for another meal.

I was stationed at a radar site in Upper Michigan many years ago…the average snowfall was 300 inches per year…the year before I got there, the Fourth of July picnic was snowed out…my first winter, we had 400 inches…wind chill hit -75F a few times…after that, winters here in Northeast Ohio are mild by comparison.
 
I made some Chili with ground beef in it and diced tomatoes, light red kidney beans, chili seasoning, and tomato paste in it for our dinner, and served it topped with shredded Cheddar cheese.

I served it with refrigerator biscuits on the side.

I had some Diet Caffeine-Free Coke to drink and then some chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
 
I should cook more with beans,OGM…take a rest from meat more often.
One of the most memorable spaghetti meals I had was a dish my sister made a long time ago, substituting meat for broad beans …it was almost identical ,but better.Hmm, I should get her recipe…🧐
 
I’m thinking of doing that for Lent, although I do like to eat meatless meals during the year, anyway.

I like to eat Lentils, especially. They don’t take as long to cook as other types of beans when you cook them from their dry state, either.

I made a pot of 14-bean soup not too long ago, and it took forever for some of those beans to cook down, even though I soaked them and had them cooking all day.

Some of them were still a bit crunchy by the time that we at the soup.

I wouldn’t buy that mix again, and I had bought it on clearance, although my husband thought that it was really good. 😁 😉
 
Hi ConstantLearner,

The supermarket had items on special due to the Super Bowl, so I decided to make some Chili and some Sloppy Joes because they’re some of my husband’s favorite dishes to eat.

The bean soup was good and I made it from a mix, but like I said, I wouldn’t buy that particular brand again.

I like some of those soup starter mixes that you can buy in the supermarket, that come with the beans and a spice packet included, and then you can add additional spices and whatever you want to put into it also, and get a nice pot of soup out of it.
 
Must make something with the zucchini from the garden…zucchini slice perhaps…it’s a combination of fried onion, bacon,grated zucchini ,grated potato ,milk ,eggs and salt and pepper adding flour to help bind and rise.
You can add other ingredients too 🙂
Sliced and baked zucinni with olive oil ,bacon,tomato and cheese on top is good.

I like those, too. I often buy Bob’s Red Mill. I do love his 13-bean soup! And beans are supposed to be anti-cancer.
 
Chili. 2 burgers, water and a cough drop.

Mama had fish, a slice of Swiss cheese and MiO flavored water.
