This week in My Kitchen

It occurs to me that the food I post about all seems to be 'sweet'. Maybe that's because I find making actual meals a chore whereas sweets are so wonderfully rewarding. Because I don't eat meat my suppers consist of veggies and sometimes potatoes ( well, they are a veggie too) or pasta. DH, who still likes his meat, will make himself a steak or chicken piece or whatever he wants in addition to what I've prepared.  So you see that suppers are not very inspiring.

So here's what I've made this week.  Three small jars of peach jam ( have to have jam  on my morning toast).

A surprisingly healthy dessert... Crustless Pumpkin pie  ( served with 95% fat free Cool Whip)

I'm still using those little apples that we were given. I made Apple Crisp in little ramekins. Apples and Oatmeal...what's not healthy about that?

 I bake bread from time to time but for my toast I like a nice whole grain bread full of all sorts of seeds. I buy it at a small local bakery and every time you buy a loaf they stamp your little card.  When you have 12 stamps you get a free loaf. I thought since it was a free loaf I'd try something different and chose this Apricot/Raisin bread. It is wonderful but I'd never pay over $6  for a loaf of bread. See how packed with fruit it is? A bit of butter on that and I have everything I need.

What's been happening in your kitchen this week?  And how do you cope with the endless need for suppers? Do you have a rotating menu, like some do?  When all 5 kids were still at home I had a rotating 2 week schedule. ( That often featured ground hamburger. Ugh! THAT was a sacrifice for me to have to deal with). Thanks for visiting.        Granny M.
