I bought a bag of frozen BirdsEye chicken pasta skillet meal. We'll try that with a salad. Pepperidge Farm turnovers for dessert. I've been too busy to fuss with cooking lately.

Leftover meatloaf and rice, freshly sautéed zucchini. It was yummy

Made beef stew in the crock pot and made the Lemon Icebox Pie-with limes!

Did you like the Ice Box pie?

Loved it! First time, I follow the recipe exactly. This was the second time, so I increased the lime juice-doubled! I like tart! And used sugar-free pudding. Now I need to learn to make graham cracker crusts! Store-bought Keebler, not so great.

I always double the juice too. I like the Keebler Shortbread crust better than the graham crust. Sometimes I make it like a pudding and put the filling over vanilla wafers.

Tonight I'm making caramelised eggplant and lentil ragu, served over a dish of polenta. It sounds so fall like. I'm really looking forward to fall when the tourists disappear and the air turns crisp.

We love eggplant. Found this recipe when I Googled caramelized eggplant. How do you prepare?

Oooohhh...that looks good! Very simple too. Here's the recipe that I used: https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/rec...6796_text2vec1

It came out amazing! I served it over polenta. I did make a few changes. I didn't have enough lentils, so I omitted them and added a diced pork chop and some soy curls. I also had a ton of fresh paste tomatoes and so I processed them in the food processor and used that as my tomato puree. I added some chopped up bell peppers, red, green, yellow. And last, but not least, I baked it in the oven on a low, 300 degree oven for a couple of hours. That made the eggplant super soft and all the flavors melded together. My husband really liked it too. It's a keeper.

Hubby and I have a deal -- he has a bowling league night and he can go bowling another night, and we have our Sunday date day bowling. But when/if he does go bowling twice, he has to bring me home dinner.

So tonight I had him bring me home something not strictly on our eating plans from a local place I've been wanting to try but doesn't have much keto-approved so it's been two years now and we still have been there. We call it a "golden brown" place where pretty much everything is fried. The freshest thing on the menu is coleslaw and no, fried pickles are not a vegetable! But they are delicious...

Anyway, I got an Italian Beef (sort of like a sloppy cheese steak with less cheese and hot gardinera pickles) and hubby got the Thursday special of catfish nuggets (lightly breaded), and an order of fried mushrooms -- or as he calls them "disguised lava bombs".
