Again this week I’m using E-Mealz for part of my menu. I am enjoying it, though I haven’t fully converted to using it entirely. There have been a few of the meals that I knew my husband would not eat so I had to modify. This week’s menu includes:
1) Hamburger steaks, macaroni & cheese, beans
2) Crock pot Teriyaki Chuck Roast with potatoes and veggies
3) Fresh Polynesian Pizza , Tossed salad
4) Coca-Cola Pork Chops, Au gratin potatoes, green beans
5) Garlic Shrimp & Grits, Steamed Asparagus
6) Roast Beef Mini Sandwiches, Zesty Sweet potato fries
7) Grilled Tilapia, loaded potatoes, grilled asparagus (My husband is cooking this meal.)
**I will receive a small commission if you purchase E-mealz subscription via my link.
One of My Quirks

My husband pointed it out to me tonight. He didn’t call it a quirk, but I couldn’t come up with a better name for it, and quirky or a “quirk” just seemed to fit in my mind. You see I have this thing I do. It involves food. I get stuck on a certain food and I eat it like crazy. I can’t seem to get enough of that food and I have to have it every day, or at least extremely often. Then, all of a sudden, I don’t want it anymore or at least not as often.
Here are some of my recent food binges. They include:
- coffee (not a food but a recent addiction)
- Bagelfuls
- egg sandwiches
- guacamole
- chips and salsa
My newest is OLIVES!
What will be next? Do you do this? Or am I alone?
