Getting Started with Food Planning

We're going to start a journey with dinner planning.

Chicken Margherita with Spaghetti and Italian Bread (Anna) - Completed 8/10/20 Amazing!!!
Polska Kielbasa with Rice (Erik) - Completed 8/9/20 Delicious and quick!
Breakfast for Dinner: Pancakes with Breakfast Sausage (Erik) - Completed 8/11/20 So Yummy!

Sunday 8/9/10

We had a later than planned night and it was my 2nd night off of a weekend so Erik took over dinner tonight with a quick and easy Polska Kielbasa with Rice and the addition of some herbed stuffing. Quick, easy and hit the spot.

Monday 8/10/20

I was exhausted today but I was dedicated to making this meal tonight. When I cook, I improvise a LOT. I don't measure so if you follow the recipe above (underlined); you can follow the instructions to the letter or just allow the magic to happen. It was so good that this Chicken Margherita will be in my regular menu rotation after tonight. For sure!

Tuesday 08/11/20

In the world as we know it, I think we often don't have enough time to have the delicious breakfasts we would cue up at IHOP for so why not incorporate it in the evening? Erik cooked up some delish buttermilk pancakes and some sausage patties tonight. Hit the spot!

Wednesday 08/12/20

I have been in training for my new job and studying a lot so after successfully passing the final exam before fully being able to work in my new job I had a delicious 4 Cheese Blend Pizza and Fresh Caesar Salad from the incredible Pizzeria Nora in North Knoxville.

BOXING in the KITCHEN: Hello Fresh!

OUR FIRST MONTH OF BOXING IN THE KITCHEN: Boxed dinners that is provided by various great options and we have paid for our boxes so these responses and reviews are completely our own and not compensated by anyone; and with that - here we go! THE COOK'S EXPERIENCE (ERIK'S SIDE/HE SAID) When my significant other suggested that we try cooking at home, I was really excited. I was thinking to myself, now I can show off my culinary skills and introduce her to the cooking of my childhood. She suggested that we try the box subscription, Hello Fresh and immediately I could hear my mother in the background of my brain saying, "I taught you how to cook, you're better than that." From a cook's perspective, I really enjoyed cooking the Hello Fresh kits. They came neatly prepared and ready to go. The instructions were so simple, it didn't take a lot of time to prepare them. I get off of work at 5:30 pm so by the time I get home and take the fur kids out for a little bit...

Best Picture A-Z Challenge: "B"

It's the second week of my Best Picture A-Z Challenge whereby I watch an Academy Award Best Picture Winner for each letter of the alphabet plus a numerical entry. However with one additional rule...it has to be a film that I have NOT yet seen. So I build my list and then if there's more than one choice I offer up a vote to suggest which one to watch. This challenge is the letter B and so here were my choices: R 1995 ‧ War/Drama ‧ 3h 2m [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=braveheart&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS930US930&oq=brave&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j46i433j69i57j69i59j46i433i457j0i433j0i131i433j69i60.3407j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 AND after the votes were in, my "B" challenge became to watch: William Wallace is the medieval Scottish patriot who is spurred into revolt against the English when the love of his life is slaughtered. Leading his army into battles that become a war, his advance into England threatens King Edward I's throne before he is captured...

Writer's Wednesday: A Poem About A Failed Relationship

HE WAS A WORDSMITH Poem by Anna Maria Terlinden Rogers He was a wordsmith. I hold him in a memory. I am beautifully resilient. I have always been. I am blessed by that. You were my Achilles' heel, the wax I built my wings out of as I tried to fly towards the sun, the shine on those 30 pieces of silver that I betrayed a Messiah for. You were the chink in my armor, the fruit that I wanted to taste just because I wanted knowledge, the person I would have let cut my hair, allowing you to leave me weak. I am blessed to have survived. I always do. I am beautifully resilient. I hold him in a memory. He was a wordsmith.
