I ate too much...

 I am a picky eater. I care more about the dessert than I do the actual meal sometimes. Unless my daughter makes meatloaf. Now I love meatloaf and she make it just like my Mom does. She had me over one night a few week ago for supper and this is what it was. My favorite meal. Minus the peas. I never eat those and since she had made some, I decided to try them. Well, okay, to be honest I tried one. Not one spoonful. But one pea. I was done with them after that. Remembered why I don't like them. But wow the rest of the dinner was amazing. 


I have baked a lot of cookies since the first of the year. I don't eat them all. Some were for get togethers in BCV (before corona virus) and some were for me.


I went to one of my friends house earlier this year because she wanted me to teach her how to make the brownie cookies. They were a huge success and we ate a lot of them that night.


But I treated her and one of our other friends to some homemade pizza on flat bread. My favorite is with pork saugsage and Colby-Jack finely shredded cheese.


One weekend I baked a chocolate cake and had it with peaches because Mom did that a lot for dessert at Sunday dinner growing up.


I was proud of myself on this meal. I made French toast all by myself. I know that is not a big deal to some people. But I was married 34 years to a man that cooked every meal and got a little spoiled. Since he passed away, I am always proud of myself when I make something that I love and it turns out as good as his was.


This was school cafeteria vegetable soup found on Facebook on a recipe board. It is my favorite soup now.


But I am still partial to the beef cabbage vegetable soup as well. It is just that there are a lot more steps to it.


I have a bigger appetite since I have been laid off due to the virus. I got on the scales last night. That's a mistake I won't make again until I get some self-control over my food intake.
