After all my baking football and I even planted my day lilies that I ordered in May. I made time for pot roast and mash potatoes.
I have no more gas in the tank to cook a real pot roast.
What a beautiful tribute. It looks and sounds wonderful!
Just giving you a hard time Eric. Seeing that plate of pigs in a blanket brought back some traumatic childhood memories. Mom would put American cheese on everything and call it gourmet. 
lol
I remember we would have peas or spinach from a can and I couldnāt get up from the table till my plate was clean. I covered it with so much ketchup you couldnāt even see what kind of vegetable was there. 
lol fun times. Have a good evening my friend.
Sounds like you and my wife had the same mother. And my wife was very traumatized by her mother.
These peas ?
And the same table shenanigans too. Wifey never did eat those beets. 
@Dazercat yes, you are such a good sport! And honestly, if someone put a brick of Velveeta in front of me right now? I could not pass that upā¦
Do you remember the little cheese cubes wrapped in foil - La Vache Qui Rit? Laughing Cow or something? Mom would get those for special occasions only! Like a grey cup party 
But I canāt blame my aversion to processed cheese on my childhood. I take full responsibility. Hiking with a long time pal this summer, we were recalling our drinking days in uni, how we would bike to the 24hr Dennyās after the pub to get grilled ādouble-cheeseā (yep, processed) sandwiches and fries. At least we wore bike helmetsā¦ 
Yes. Laughing Cow. I remember too well. it was one thing my anorexic daughter would eat. I would fill a shopping cart with it. That and canned corned beef hash. Oh the memories . I liked it to though too.
My mom couldnāt boil water . Dad did the cooking. Once mom made a meatloaf. She thought sheād be creative and put apples in it 
Using up my leftover smoked salmon on a Flatout Foldit wrap with cream cheese, baby arugula and everything bagel seasoning for a quick lunch in my office
That does it!! Iām buying some smoked salmon next grocery trip. I canāt take it anymore I donāt care where itās from.
I make these for my little guy whoās quite picky. Itās a great way to get fibre & protein in him. I take oats, add milk (can use milk alternative), ground chia, ground flax, an egg, cinnamon, and ripe banana chopped up. I let soak a few minutes. I pan fry in a touch of unrefined coconut oil for flavour. Taste like a less sweet banana muffin. No sugar, no flour. Can eat warm or cold. He eats it like toast with his hands. I put in his lunch box as alternate to sandwich. No syrup. I enjoy them too Yummy with butter or seed butter on top too
Great idea! Iāll have to try it sometime.
Chicken quesadillas and seasoned frijolitos. āFrijolitosā are what I grew up calling beans, literally means ālittle beansā but itās just a cute name. In this case I seasoned some pinto beans mixed with refried beans and added some homemade salsa verde, they came out super tasty! This is one of those meals where I feel like itās going to be super basic and kind of lame, but then it turns out great, my husband raves, and I feel really good about it. I like when that happens!
Ooo yum! Iām going to try with GF oats - the egg and banana should be enought to make it stick together, do you think?
Now your cookin!
Iāve heard that called a toad in a hole
