Sure they are. Teach. And I really can claim that badge because God help the person who tries to tell me what to do. Such as, I would take down anybody who tried to keep me UP past my ridiculously early bedtime!

Mame, chicken livers sound so good. The only way I can make them though is to make 2 dinners, hubby won't touch them.

Yum, livers. I also like gizzards. Tonight is DH night to cook and he only cooks on the grill so something wonderful as usual.

Southern & Maple: I sautee the chicken livers in broth, with veggies and rice. YUM! It's easy even for someone who hates to cook, like me. I usually make it when I am really rundown, for the energy, and I am really rundown lately. I've been ill off and on for months now.

DH only wanted deli sandwiches tonight, so the chicken livers are for tomorrow I guess.

Thanks Maple! Actually today I woke up with a teaspoon of energy so I'm doing the laundry. I have fibromyalgia, so I get fatigued easily and when I get sick, it takes me forever to kick it. On topic: I'm really looking forward to the sauteed chicken livers tonight!

(((Mame))) I understand, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which is similar I guess, it is nasty, nasty stuff. I'm 10 years in now though so find it much easier to stay in my body's limits since they've drastically increased from what there were to begin with. It takes me forever to kick illness too, I got sick at the beginning of the month, ended up with pneumonia and it wasn't til yesterday I felt halfway decent. Then I had to go and ruin it by doing too much, dang fever is creeping up again and I'm so mad at myself. But my definition of insanity is to sit me in a room and tell me not to do anything, especially if it is a dirty room.

I am going to try the chicken livers your way one of these days, maybe make hubby a chicken breast on the side.

And on topic for me, grilled burgers, potato salad, tater tots for gs who hates potato salad, carrots.

Aw Southern, I'm sorry to hear that you have CFS. It is very similar to Fibro. I'm so wiped out from doing the laundry today, I am aching from stem to stern, and I don't have the energy left to walk over 3 blocks to see my doctor to tell him my ear is still blocked and it's been over 2 weeks.

I'm very flattered that you are going to try my recipe sometime. It's very fast, easy, tasty and filling. Sometimes I add a can of tomato soup as well as the can of broth to give it a sweet Italian twist.

We did tacos de carne asada - tried a new recipe from a Chicago Tribune foodie newsletter that had some nice heat to it. Also had strawberry shortcake w/real whipped cream. Both were even better than usual b/c we got to share it w/my folks who came up with one of my nephews.

My husband is grilling salmon and zucchini tonight.

We went to our niece's wedding yesterday and I have to say that they had the yummiest crab cakes and butternut squash raviolis.

We went out to our favorite Mexican restaurant tonight and split "Vallarta Caliente" - a mix of beef, chicken, sausage and shrimp all served in this super hot stone dish with peppers and onions, topped with queso fresco. We spooned it into corn tortillas, topped it with pico de gallo and inhaled it! DELICIOSO!

We went to a friend's b'day bbq brunch and were so stuffed, all we had for dinner were homemade smoothies that DH made for us, from frozen mixed fruit, sweetner, and milk. Fabuloso!

Love Mexican food, Teach. Wish I knew how to make it myself.

We had pork chops baked in apples, raisins and honey, with cole slaw and roasted corn on the cob.

Grilled, marinated tilapia, fresh asparagus, salad and some homemade garlic bread on a multi-grain french bread...yummy, and almost all healthy. :-)

After yesterday's b'day brunch at a pal's place, today we were invited to another pal's place and had a lovely dinner of Caeser salad and rolled salmon steaks with ricotta and asparagus, etc. Yum! Next weekend, we'll have both gals over to our place for a reciprocal dinner, with mini-quiche hors d'oevres, my famous beef-rib stew, and hubby's Lasagna on the menu.

I've had a pot of chili simmering for most of the day.

Did a very quick SW chicken tonight. Threw two cans of drained corn, one can of drained/rinsed black beans, 2 cups of med. salsa, 2 tsp. of cilantro and 1/4 tsp of chipotle chile powder in a pot and heated it up. Meanwhile, browned and cooked chopped up chicken thighs in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. In 15 minutes, we served it all mixed together like stew.

Going out tonight and I canNOT wait for my favorite fried asparagus! The restaurant we go to uses the lightest, crispiest beer batter ever, and it is to die for!

All your meals sound soooo good. I'm stuck in the throes of needing to feed my husband a proper dinner and wanting nothing but canned peaches, saltines and gingerale for dinner. 10 weeks down, only two more to go until the 2nd trimester.

Tonight I'm trying my luck with beef dips and corn on the cob. I'll make some lemon pudding as a backup plan.

I made a tuna puff. It was a recipe for salmon but you could change it out with tuna, which I had. I also made a spinach salad.
