PICTURE OF THE DAY

                                                         So true.

 

Speaking of dogs... my friend Cathy (LASD ret/worked ELA) has two new pups. They were at the feed store with their litter of 10. The owner desperate to find them homes, Cathy the Good Hearted Animal Lover, took them home! How adorable are they! Ricky and Riley... 

 

 

Yesterday I put a short video on Youtube... my cat Bruiser loves my feet so much, other than sleeping on them, he likes to put his paws inside my slippers! While I was sitting watching TV he got comfy...

Ok, today is Sunday Football and here's the low down.. should be interesting with the Birds playing the Birds, the Seachickens playing the Lambs, the Bears going fishing... LOL.

 

I was so thrilled with the roasted carrots I decided to roast more veggies yesterday for dinner... snap peas, mushrooms, purple potatoes, and more carrots....

 

I mixed up some olive oil, sea salt, garlic salt, and Sonoma pepper... tossed all in that mixture and put on foil lined cookie sheets...

I baked them at 400º. Took the mushrooms out after 20 minutes. Left the rest in for 20 more. Should have taken the peas out sooner, as they got very crunchy, but they were GOOD anyway!

Heated some turkey loaf and dinner was OMGOOOD!!!!!

If you noticed the peeler in the first picture with the vegetables... it is a "vintage" (1940's) Ekco Floating Blade Peeler, Stainless and made in USA. It was my Mom's. It is the BEST peeler ever! I have tried a number of others, tossed them and kept Mom's! I LOVE using things that belonged to my parents. Makes me feel like they are close by. These are even being sold on Ebay!

All I know. Happy Sunday. Nuff said. Ciao.

I made a meatloaf the other night. I tweaked a recipe I saw on line. It was for "Tangy Apple Chicken Loaf".

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Tangy-Apple-Chicken-Loaf/

So..................... instead of ground chicken I used ground turkey. Didn't have celery. Didn't want to use onion. Didn't have the seasonings they used so used ones I like. My ingredients: turkey, cheese, Panko, carrot, green and red chili peppers (from Jeannie's garden), egg, roasted garlic, apple, lemon pepper, taco seasoning, homemade celery salt, citrus rosemary sea salt, parsley, applesauce (homemade), butter.

Peel and grate a large carrot, cook in butter for about 10-12 minutes, add in the peeled chopped apple, stir and set aside 

Next mix all the ingredients, about 1/3 cup of the applesauce, and seasonings (to taste). Put in loaf pan, top with grated cheese. Mix the mustard, honey (this was lavender honey from Provence France my friend Judy brought me... then it was soooo good I ordered more from Amazon.com!), and the other 1/3-1/2 cup of applesauce, and slather on top of the cheese.

Bake in preheated 375º oven for about 1 hour. At the same time I had the large carrots peeled, halved, and halved lengthwise in a 9x13 pan. Mixed olive oil, pepper, and sea salt and a little garlic salt and drizzled over the carrots. Make sure carrots are well coated with the oil mixture.  Put in oven with the meatloaf. Roast 20-30 minutes, until browned and tender.

 

I'm certainly going to make this again~! AWESOMELY GOOD!!!

 

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.
