My Food Diary 2

I have another blog that is mostly food. I usually include photos of the food, the how-to, etc. I am including a link to this blog in case you would like to see more food related posts.

I like to cook nutritious food but like to do it without long, drawn-out instructions and standing over something all day. I do have medical issues that play a part in this. I just don't feel good a lot of days.

I post My Food Diary to help encourage other people with medical issues, elderly, work all day and don't have the time to cook all day, or who are single and find they just don't want to cook for one. 

Please bookmark the blog, if you find it helpful. Well, while you are at it, bookmark this blog, too. LOL  I add some food post to this blog but also include "opinion" blogs here.

Thanks for taking time to read my blog. Feel free to share it, too.

Here is the link to My Food Blog on Tumbler

Cool Tuna Salad and Fresh Tomatoes

My Food Diary July 10, 2012

Simple tuna salad, on a bed of lettuce, with grated cheese. Sliced fresh tomatoes and 

a fresh strawberry, for good measure. So simple, quick, and nutritious.

Bread Pudding and Lemon Sauce

My Food Diary July 09, 2012

I wanted some bread pudding for a dessert but with at least some nutrition. I did this bread pudding in the slow cooker. Made Lemon Sauce as a topping. Delicious!

Fresh Veggie Meal with Chicken

My Food Diary July 5, 2012

Fresh field peas and some of the okra were cooked in a slow cooker. I added some mixed, chopped onion and bell pepper, and a few new potatoes, too. I started the slow cooker first since this takes longer than the Nuwave Oven cooking. I don't think the Nuwave will cook stuff usually done on the stove top.

 Now for Nuwave ingredients: The chicken was frozen. I placed it on a pan with okra, bell pepper, new potatoes, onion, and a few slices banana pepper. I baked the chicken and veggies on lower rack of Nuwave Oven for 10 minutes, turned oven all of it and then added the onions and bell peppers. Baked an additional 10 minutes.

Cornbread: Mixed cornbread and placed in muffin tin that makes 6 muffins. I baked in toaster oven for about 15 minutes and then in Nuwave Oven, lower rack for 10 minutes. The reason I used toaster oven to start with is that the bread needed to bake a bit and set the top since the NuWave seems to blow the air and this often leads to uneven tops when baking. 

Just saying. LOL Below are photos of food in the Nuwave and of the peas in the slow cooker.

 

Left: Veggies and chicken breast in pan ready to bake in Nuwave.

Below: Field Peas, okra, potatoes,  and other items in slow cooker.

Add sliced tomatoes and/or other veggies you may have and serve.

Cool Sandwich and Fruit Salad

My Food Diary June 29, 2012

I baked (yes, baked) the chicken hot dogs yesterday,

yesterday's blog click here

This link will have photo of cooking the hot dogs with a chicken breast. I wanted something

really light today, easy, and very quickly done.  It's just too hot to do much!  LOL I used croissants

instead of regular bread.  Added the lettuce, tomato, and hot dog. Quickly cut up the fruit and a few dabs of broccoli. 

Use fruit you have on hand. I happened to have kiwi, strawberries, bananas, and mandarin oranges. I 

also added a bit of  low fat Thousand Island Dressing.
