On March 13, 2020 we began our Covid19 "lockdown". Long story short, between March 13th and May 22nd we prepared all of our own meals. It was over 2 months of glorious eating, that resulted in me gaining 15 lbs and now having to join Weight Watchers. Here is our journey through food. Don't worry, you can't gain weight reading and viewing this blog.


Here is a pic of our climbing roses taken on March 13, 2020 - CoVid-19 day 1

Our weapon of choice was a portable Weber Grill. We chose it over the "big" Weber because frankly, it did a great job and made grilling almost impossible to screw up. Plus we were able to grill right on the back porch.


ree

A breakfast Fatata, which included cheese and chopped italian sausage.


ree

The kids favorite and the main culprit behind my weight gain, baked ziti sicilian with ricotta, mozzarella, ground beef and home made sauce.


ree

Of course what's baked ziti sicilian without home made garlic bread smothered in butter.


ree

Our own creation of grilled chicken topped with spinach and melted mozzarella served with rice and garlic bread.


ree

Here is a medley of flank steak, served with salad, broccoli and leftover pasta.


ree

Time for fun food that featured "Nachos Supreme" and Tacos, nothing like overdoing it.


ree

Another variation of baked ziti with cheese overload.


ree

We gave chicken milanese a try, with arugula, tomatoes, onions, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Stuffing served on the side. It was "the bomb".


ree

See close up below.

ree

Nothing like cheeseburgers and onion rings, served with baked beans, cauliflower and salad. A real gut buster.


ree

Up next is chicken florintine..........how gourmet.


ree

It's so super deluxe it deserves another pic.

ree

On the casual side we went with tuna melts, homemade fried zucchini with a side of rice.


ree

We tried a pot luck of rice, broccoli, sausage and egg (aka fried rice) and homemade split pea soup.


ree

Lets take a break for some homemade bread..........fresh out of the oven.


ree

Lets take a look at that from another angle.


ree

A fun dinner featuring frozen pizza, freshly made chicken cutlets and tasty garlic bread......bring on the carbs.


ree

Grilled flank steak, stuffing and homemade split pea soup....yummy.


ree

Lets see some more of that homemade split pea soup you say.................


ree

We went all out with this homemade baked ziti sicilian served with baby back ribs in homemade sauce. The ribs were "browned" first than slow cooked in the "gravy". The total "bomb".


ree

Again, it deserves a second look.

ree

Who can resist tacos with all the fixins. Beans in the ground beef were a big hit.

ree

We made a stuffed pepper concoction with ground beef, rice and cheese served with tater tots and salad.......it practically evaporated off the table.


ree

Those are some good lookin peppers.

ree

A simple london broil, served with potatoes and salad (grown from our garden).

ree

Switching gears, here is a breakfast consisting of scrambled "cheese" eggs, bacon and toast.


ree

At this point we were getting out of control. This sausage sandwich delight features grilled sweet italian sausage with homemade french bread along with sauteed onions, homemade fried zucchini and salad from the garden.


ree

A good old american classic, "cheesy lasagna" hamburger helper with ground beef and a side of string beans.

ree

We tried the other white meat, pork chops served with stuffing, broccoli, mac&cheese and a salad.

ree

One last flank steak served with brussel sprouts, rice and corn on the cobb.
