Axed. Day 85.
Things I have cooked since being laid off:
- Roast Chicken X 4
- Chicken Pot Pie with Cornbread Crust X 1
- Pork Loin X 2 (third time’s the charm …)
- Roast Chicken Pasta (made up the recipe)
- Bratwurst Sandwiches with Gruyere
- Curried Lentil, Sweet Potato & Bacon Soup - Keep It Seasonal Cookbook
- Sausage, Potato & Kale Soup - Keep It Seasonal Cookbook
- Some cheese soup Erica remembers, but I have no idea what she’s talking about.
- It came with bread. And really good butter.
- She says, “Remember? We loved that soup. We said it would be good with a Croque Monsieur.”
- I thought, “Maybe she’s thinking of a soup that didn’t actually have cheese. She just added the cheese because of the sandwich.”
- She continues, “Mmmmm. It was a good soup. We should find that recipe.”
- Lasagna with homemade sauce
- Pasta with homemade sauce (there are two versions of homemade sauce that I go between. We’ve had this meal countless times.)
- Pork Chops with this fancy rub and baked sweet potatoes
- Mar-a-lago Turkey Burgers
- Strata Frittata
- Steak & Chicken Quesadillas
- 7 Layer Dip to go with Quesadillas
- Pumpkin Bread - Trader Joe’s Box Mix
- Banana Bread - Trader Joe’s Box Mix
- Chocolate Chip Cookies - Toll House Recipe
- Chocolate Chip Cookies with Dried Cranberries
- Chocolate Chip Cookies with Dried Cranberries and Pecans
- Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pecans and Raisins
- A ton of different salads — all with cheese
- Turns out Erica was right. I made Onion, White Bean & Gruyere Soup - Keep It Seasonal Cookbook
- Lots of sides
- Lots of vegetables
- Lots of Mac & Cheese
Pounds I have gained:
- Undisclosed
- Unacceptable
