SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

I   have changed my breakfast regimen recently. I decided to have meatless breakfast during the week.  I keep bananas, zucchini, pineapple, pumpkin, and  carrots on hand. These  items make delicious breads and muffins. The bistro where I used to get muffins only  sold jumbo muffins. They always  tasted great and kept me feeling full until  lunchtime.  After I retired, I always ate my breakfast at home. I even bought a jumbo  muffin pan.  Therefore I don't miss the bistro muffins anymore. My mom bought a bushel of sweet potatoes from a local farmer. She shared half of them with me. I keep trying to come up with meals using sweet potatoes. I wondered if people baked sweet potato breads and muffins. The only sweet potato dishes I have made were candied yams, sweet potato pie, and sweet potato souffle. I checked online and saw several sweet potato  breads and muffins.  I put chocolate chips in my pumpkin beards and...

I only eat  take out pizza from a pizzeria if one of my sons come by.   A twelve  inch pizza is too much for one person.  I could freeze left over pizza but it's not as good as fresh baked!! I'm retired and live  on a budget. I usually have pizzeria pizza average, once  every three months.   I have figured out ways to make tasty.pizza at home.  I'll admit, I don't have the patience to make pizza dough from scratch.    I keep pasta sauce,  Mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses,   pepperoni, Italian sausage  ( pork and tu...

I rarely crave a certain type of food. However, Pulled Pork Barbecue,  Coleslaw, and hushpuppies, have been on my mind all week. This Southern meal is a favorite for my family. I try not to  eat it,  but once every six months. I am trying to eat healthier, so I limit my intake of fried foods  and certain cuts of pork. There was a restaurant  I loved that served delicious Turkey Barbecue. It was so good and it tasted as good as Pork Barbecue!  They closed their doors three months go. Bummer! I used to make Turkey Barbecue using turkey thighs. The neighborhood grocery store that sold them,  moved to another town a few years ago. A lady I used to work with sold Turkey Barbecue for her father. She took orders for  pints of the his barbecue and delivered it for him. It was very good. I tried to get recipe from her. She would  only tell me a few secrets.  Her father, slow cooked  whole turkeys, deboned them,  and simmered...
