Even Though He's Hard to Understand

Sometimes its hard to be a patient woman, in a relationship, with a man that does things that you don't understand.  I won't bore you with how I send this stranger to get zucchini for dinner and he comes back claiming they had none and later that he doesn't know what it looks like.  I won't bother showing you the little note I made, stating it looks just like a cucumber because that's where I'm at in this.  And it pains me to know that if any of the three markets were out of nearly every vegetable, which they have never been, you could always count on them having zucchini.   I won't go on about him buying two ginormous spaghetti squash, saying he remembered I said something about it also being called squash. 
So when he came back with bell peppers and tomatoes at least, I chose to roll with it and stuff those with tiny meatballs and quinoa, parsley, corn and black beans.

Don't Need a Gun to Blow Your Mind

I tell ya I got this scrambled egg thing down!  I know you're thinking, anyone can make scrambled eggs yo.  Yeah, but I could never get them cream dreamy or delicate tasting and I finally got it.  The right heat, the right time to add them to the other ingredients, just a dash of milk. 
These had sautéed zucchini, red onion and baby spinach. 
I'm obviously easily impressed but I also made a kick ass low-cal homemade mac and cheese with ham and peas.  I made the roux with flour and butter, added a 1/4 cup milk and a cup of chicken stock until it thickened and got really hot. Then I added the cheese, about 4 ounces of Monterey Jack until melted, then I immediately mixed it in with the pasta.



Instead of parmesan on top I added seasoned bread crumbs.  During the week it's all about the simple victories. Don't try to overreach.
