NEVER thought I'd have a "foodie" blog!!!


'Uncle A.'s' Healthy Dinner on Mon. night.  The shrimp is obvious.  I love cold shrimp with a dip made of ketchup and horseradish sauce. 


And this, is mine.   For the salad we had 3 different kinds of greens...  An organic Mac Apple from Vt., which is just across the state line...  Walnuts...  My Goat Cheddar Cheese...  And for him, his regular cheese. 


On the salads, we used the above.  Much *better* than my usual wish for creamy salad dressing.  And amazingly, DELICIOUS!!!


And this was my Healthy Lunch on Tues.  A can of Wolfgand Puck's Vegetable Soup.  Another salad.  Again, 3 greens, apple, honey-roasted peanuts today, no cheese....  But Newman's Raspberry Walnut dressing.  (Did I say I LOVE this dressing?????  -grin-)


'Uncle A.'....   Preparing to make bread...

BLOGGER  WATCH:

Btw, I am seeing more, about people having Blogger problems...

I tell ya', I'm glad I have my Word Press blog ("Auntie sezzzzzz..." name too) up and running.   At present, I'm just putting this and that, there.  Basically LEARNING about Word Press blogging.    I'm not techy, and I am kinda' slow with such stuff, so it's good for me to take time with the 'learning.'

But still, even if they pulled-the-plug on Blogger tomorrow, I have my blog set up, and going, and waiting for me.

I love boiled shrimp with a good red sauce but since it is high in cholesterol, and we both take meds to control our cholesterol, we eat it only occasionally. Love it, tho. 'Course, LOTS of foods are as high in cholesterol, I think. So, when we get really hungry for shrimp, we eat it. :)
Love that salad dressing, too.
Hope this is a great day for you.

Shrimp is one of my favorite foods, perhaps my #1 favorite. I love shrimp of all sorts. I really hope you never leave Blogger! I have looked at Wordpress but I don't think I'll start one there. I am hoping blogger lives quite a while longer :)

Pat Hatt said...

Eating right, sure will bring delight. As far as blogger going anywhere, doubt it will come to pass any time soon. And as far as issues, it has always had issues.

Vee said...

Must try that dressing as I am one who goes for the creamy stuff, too. You are very wise, Auntie, to think ahead. If they "pull the plug," I'm just going to circle the drain...hahahahaha...

Nellie said...

What an amazing salad, Auntie! I love Paul Newman's dressings. The latest one I've tried is the Sesame Ginger. We think it's really tasty!

Oh, dear! Is Blogger going away somewhere? I suppose I should investigate Wordpress. One of our daughters has her blog there, anyway.

Jackie said...

It takes a lot more work than people know to post food preparation on blogs; great job, my friend!!!
Hugs,
Jackie

Auntie, You sound techy to me. My problem is reading manuals..hate it. I want on hands learning. I read so many instructions and manuals on my job, after 30 years , I am burned out. I love the photos of your lunches. You are eating healthy. One day if blogger does pull the rug out from under my blog world...I'll be calling "Auntie, help." xoxo,Susie

Deb said...

Mmm...my friend Linda raves about that dressing too and uses it daily.

I LOVE shrimp that way - so sweet and fresh - yumm!

I may have to check out word press too.

Linda said...

I love a good salad!!! Those are such pretty dishes, too! I notice HE had wine and YOU did not.

Why would blogger pull the plug? I agree with Vee.....I'll just circle the drain, I guess!

HappyK said...

That is my favorite dressing too!!! and have it ALL time. Nice healthy and delicious looking food.

Dee said...

I have wondered if the Newman dressings were good...I will have to give it a try. I think blogger is updating or something similar. Hopefully blogger stays around a long time. But all good things change sooner or later.

It all looks delicious. I love salads during warmer weather ... somehow they don't appeal as much when it's cold outside. Lately we've been eating a lot of kale which is delicious sauteed or toasted in the oven (believe it or not).

Isn't food photography fun? Especially when you have such lovely colourful things to photograph. :)

Cheryl @ TFD said...

I love shrimp and a good salad. Your lunch looks delicious. Raspberry dressing is very tasty, I'll have to try Newman's Own.

I hope Blogger keeps on blogging, because I probably wouldn't go elsewhere. But, as they say...never say never. :)
