My husband loves it when I fix a chef salad and add Hormel Natural Choice Turkey that I have fried in extra virgin olive oil. Frying the turkey makes it taste more like bacon. I use a mix of salad greens and chop up whatever fresh veggies I have in the fridge plus add green olives. We top it with either my mother-in-law’s homemade salad dressing or maybe low-fat ranch dressing. Sometimes my husband uses Ken’s Caesar Dressing. (There are COUPONS for Hormel Natural Choice meats available.)
For those of you who don’t know, my husband plays the guitar. In fact the first night I met him many years ago, he played the guitar for me and my roommate out on the grass on the college campus where we were all attending. Since then, he has played the guitar and sung at various restaurants in the past, and he has played at weddings and other events.
Nowadays, he volunteers to play at a local nursing home once a month. It’s so cute to see these precious elderly people tapping their feet or maybe tapping on their wheel chair to the music. It’s a little bit of a bright spot in their day.
He’s still teaching guitar lessons, and I’m trying to encourage him to work on his own blog about playing the guitar. We’ll see how that goes. I’ll let you know if and when he gets his blog up and going.
When I’m cooking pasta, I prefer to use Barilla Plus because of the quality protein and all the health benefits it provides. Barilla has come out with a new pasta called “Farfalle,” which I’m used to calling “bowtie pasta.” I cooked some tonight and added our favorite jar of pasta sauce, some Parmesan cheese, and Turkey Meatballs. My husband had seconds, he liked it so much.
If you’re looking for a quick and healthy lunch, one with a complete protein, then rice and beans are great to have. I had some left-over brown rice in the fridge. I dumped it out in a skillet and made Spanish Rice using the following ingredients:
Heat the above four ingredients in a skillet, stirring occasionally. Serve with refried beans. By the way, the beans and brown rice are good for our hormones, girls!
Four Foods on Friday is sponsored by “From Val’s Kitchen.” Val would love to have you come visit her site and play Four Foods with us. Here is this week’s:
Hi everybody. This week I’m asking players to look in their kitchen and find at least four items that start with one of the following letters – J, W, B and O.
My (Val’s) answers are:
J – jerky
W – white rice (creative license please)
B – butter
o – olive oil
If you play please don’t forget to drop your name and link into Mr Linky so the other players know where to find you. Thanks!
OK, now here are my answers:
I guess the idea, too, is to try and come up with answers that no one else has written yet.
Our daughter has this baby sling and used it with our second grandson, who is now nearly five months old. She really liked using it when he was younger. Back in June, we were at a graduation ceremony and our grandbaby was comfortably and securely riding in this baby sling. Unless you got up real close, you couldn’t tell there was a baby in there. So this lady we had never met before said something to our daughter. She thought our daughter was carrying some kind of “funky” purse until she realized that there was a baby in it. We all thought that was funny!
