Cousin #2 was here yesterday to do her usual; and she brought all the Thanksgiving food with her. Beggars can't be choosers; but she bought a small package of turkey tenderloins; so there will be no leftovers. I was hoping for another meal on Friday. Oh well.
The weather forecast went from 1.3" of s**w with gale warnings to now possible heavy amounts of lake effect s**w with blizzard conditions on Thanksgiving. I hope that doesn't come to fruition!!!
Breakfast - Oatmeal bar
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Ham, cheesy potatoes, mixed veggies, applesauce
Dessert/Snack - Strawberry crumble bar
Dinner - Chicken/vegan cheese sandwich, veggie straws, black cherries
What did you eat yesterday?

Longhorn Steakhouse makes a deeeeeliscious strawberry salad. I'll bet yours was just as good. The weather better behave! I worry about cousin #2 driving to my house.

@snowy22315 We'll have to see how it is. The turkey tenderloins are already defrosted.

@RasmaSandra It's too bad you can't get Meals on Wheels. They deliver a Thanksgiving meal for those that are alone.

At least you had something. Turkey tenderloins sound good. Not sure I have ever cooked one. Although I saw some from Jennie-O at Menards the other day.
For dinner I made what I call "dirty rice," which isn't really, but it really good anyway. I just browned up some ground beef, drained it and set it aside, then cooked up some onion, celery, and red peppers in butter, added in 1 cup of rice, sprinkled in some garlic powder, thyme, curry powder and Italian seasoning, cooked that a bit then added the ground beef back in, a little soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce and 3 cups of beef broth, let it cook a bit, lidded it and let it sit for about 5 or so minutes and served.
Man, oh man. Good eats!

@porwest That's the dressing I always made. Both hubby and I loaded it high on the plate!

@LindaOHio I bet. When things are good, heaping helpings and seconds are just...necessary.

Sorry that's what she brought and there won't be leftovers. Hopefully the snow won't change to that...why does it have to be bad around the holidays..

@MommyOfEli2013 We lucked out and only got a couple of inches. I guess Michigan got up to 28".

I had to really think about what I did eat yesterday. I recall a salad with a bit of chopped chicken, Beef Barley soup I took out of the freezer, and some yogurt. Oh, and an apple!
Turkey tenderloins are really good, even if there might not be leftovers.

My kids and grands love mac and cheese. I am tired of fixing it and at this point, would rather have something else...I'm sure it's because I've fixed so much of it over the years!

The usual for lunch, and vegetable barley soup with potatoes and rice added. And Triscuit (low-fat) with (low-fat) cheese and applesauce and fiber!

I don't think I can have Triscuits anymore. I can't have whole grains.

Yes. I hope the weather isn't too bad because cousin #2 is coming from the west. The weather isn't as bad there like it is where I am.

I like turkey tenderloins but they certainty aren't enough for leftovers. I can understand that you're disappointed. Hope the weather doesn't get too bad there. We have rain today and tomorrow but none of that white stuff .
Last night we had grilled chicken, baked potatoes and mixed vegetables.

Me too. They are saying south of I-90 is going to be worse. That's definitely lake effect.
