Another electronic video sticky note.
I’m gradually building up the courage to attempt Pad Thai at home. I bought some rice sticks this past weekend.

Butternut is my favorite fall/winter squash if you haven’t figured that out yet.

Another electronic sticky note but a video version.
Here’s another post in my nearly world famous Electronic Sticky Note series.
Posting the link here as summer is starting soon and I need better salads than the prepacked kits I tend to buy and eat.

Chicken thighs are one of my favorite ingredients to cook with because they’re fairly inexpensive, they always stay juicy and tender, and they can be added to just about anything.

Bookmark this list so the next time someone asks, “What’s for dinner?” you’ve got a lot of great ideas in one place. 🙂

Another Electronic Sticky Note!
Another blogger who loves chicken thighs!
Some kind and faithful readers may remember Chicken Thigh Week (vegans/vegetarians avert your eyes) which ended up becoming a week of food diary tracking and introspection. Well, welcome to the sequel.
BTW I found boneless thighs on sale for $1.69 a pound. Guess what’s going in the oven in about 15 minutes?
Memo to Self: Still winter. I’m getting tired of chicken soup. I need to try some new soup recipes. Now where did I put that electronic sticky note reminder?

Another post in my world famous collection of Electronic Sticky Note Posts. For those new to the blog I post links to other food blogs with recipes that I want to try making. I have a head of green cabbage in the fridge. While wasting time online I found this:
20 Healthful Cabbage Dinners and Sides https://www.thefullhelping.com/20-healthful-cabbage-dinners-and-sides/
Now go get yourself some cabbage.

And yet another post/link in my extremely sporadic electronic sticky note series. The quick veggie olive oil and garlic pasta dish I make has reached “in a rut” status. 2023 will the year where I develop the ability and experience to make more than one vegetarian pasta dish.
Happy New Year!

Another electronic sticky note. I am always on the hunt for new recipes to try AND a method to remember where the hell I filed those recipes. Hence, the electronic sticky note series of blog posts. I also use https://getpocket.com/en/ to save webpages for reading later or to save source material for my posts.

Beans on the shelf in my pantry.
Although I prefer to use dried beans for my dishes I can’t ignore the ease of opening a few cans and having a meal on the table in less than an hour.
Are Canned Beans as Healthy as Home-Cooked dried beans? Yes, but watch the sodium content. https://nutritionfacts.org/2014/09/25/are-canned-beans-as-healthy-as-home-cooked/

Here is another post/link in my periodic electronic sticky note series. I may have one or two butternut squash recipes I return to every year. And when one of those recipes is oven roasted butternut squash and the other is Butternut Squash Enchilada Casserole it’s time to find some new recipes.

Wait. I found another butternut squash recipe in my vast (3) collection of favorite butternut squash recipes, the classic Butternut Squash and Spinach Lasagne.
Classic.
