Nowhere here to get a strawberry shortcake. Went to Cheesecake Factory & found their meny "boasted" of the cake being a biscuit. Fml.

I think I'll order a roast chicken & sweet potatoes from Kroger.

Enjoy!

You can also add a few dabs of anchovy pate when sauteing the shallot or onions and garlic stage...add deeper flavor....I also add white wine, store bought clam juice and use juice from the canned clams...

5. Broccoli Steam-Fry with Cannellini Beans

So glad to be back from vacation and back in my own kitchen. Trying to eat healthy when away from home, especially when you avoid red meat, poultry, dairy, extra added oil and eggs, is a tiring chore.

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, orange bell pepper, cut broccoli, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. When almost done I seasoned with dried oregano, basil and fresh chopped parsley and added canned cannellini beans and whole wheat penne. Vegan parm on top after plating. Cheers!🥂
Cher, linguini and clam sauce. Mmmmm. Enjoy!

I should probably throw some green vegetables in this. I'll see what I have in the freezer.
