SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

My son baked a 3 pound beef brisket. He slow cooked it for 6 hours on 275 temperature. He added mushrooms, onions, and shredded carrots to the sauce during last few minutes of cooking. His beef brisket was so good!  Of course, there was a lot of brisket left over ( even after eating it three days)!   I reserved  some of the cooked beef  brisket, so I could make  beef Quesadillas. Here is my recipe:   SENIOR LADY BAKED SPICY BEEF QUESADILLAS 3 1\2 cups cooked chopped beef brisket 1- 1 oz packet chili or taco seasoning 2 oz diced mild green chilies 8 oz shredded pepper jack cheese 4 large burrito style flour tortilla shells 4 Tablespoons Oil 2 Tablespoon soft butter Directions: Preheat oven to 400.

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...

pixabay.com It's funny how I developed a taste for foods I didn't care for years go. I suddenly love pizza and often eat it for breakfast. I know this  is  not the healthiest food for a Senior Lady to eat. Therefore,  I do it in moderation!  I always add veggies  and herbs on my pizza. I tell myself that the veggies boosts the nutritional value a little bit. 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...
