What did I have last week for dinner?

Shrimps sauteed with butter and garlic. broiled tomatoes topped with Parmesan

Grilled sirloin with steamed broccoli,

cauliflower and carrots cheddar cheese and butter.

Grilled tilapia with butter and Cajun BBQ

seasoning, tossed salad with Hurricane dressing

Grilled burger with cheddar, two slices of tomato and half a ripe avocado

Pepperoni and sausage pizza on a parmesan crust with provolone topping

Grilled tilapia with butter and Cajun BBQ

seasoning, tossed salad with Hurricane dressing

Last night -- as I do every Saturday night -- I

went out for burgers and a salad with my husband

at a restaurant which works really hard to meet

my needs, then swung by Borders to check out this week's new books!

I had burgers three times and tilapia twice

because it was a crazed week. This week, I'm

looking at sesame ginger shrimp with bok choy,

Creole catfish with a side of buttered steamed

spinach, pork chops and French cut green beans,

Creole pot roast with carrots (probably get two

meals off this one, with a lunch or two),

beef-and-lentil chili, and then burgers and tilapia at the end of the week.

Don't ask me what the following week will be!

Maybe Italian meat sauce on zucchini noodles or Mexican casserole....

A couple of these, like the chili, are a bit

advanced for a newcomer. Ditto anything with raw

salads, with the exception of ripe avocado.

Luckily, I don't have to worry about salicylates

or phenols like so many of you do. But these are

just examples of some easy to prepare meals.

If the rest the family Just Can't Do Without

their mashed potatoes or rice, have someone take

Matt for a fun trip once a month while you cook a

couple huge batches of both and put them up in

family sized containers and freeze them so you're

not preparing them around him.
