Or affectionately "Lime Cat" because of that cute little helmet type hat.

In general I'm fine. Age is catching up with me (Medicare age) and sadly overweight. I have the aches and pains that go with that. (with the MS mixed)

Had Chicken, baked stuffed potato and steamed chopped spinach for dinner tonight. Chicken is so easy and is wonderful whether done on the grill or in the skillet.

For a split chicken breast (boneless):
1T. Olive oil
1T. balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp Emeril's chicken rub.
Mix and marinate your two portions of chicken for 20 minutes to several hours. Always moist and delicious and consistent. Obviously if you are feeding more than 2 , add more olive oil and vinegar and chicken rub. This cooks on low-medium heat on the grill in about 5 minutes per side and in a skillet over medium heat about 7 minutes per side.

Sandra, I think in THIS thread it's so much easier to keep it on topic so we don't have to scroll through extraneous posts.

I know I appreciate it remaining ON topic - in such a long thread, it's just easier to find the food info, that's all.

Hello everyone!
Here in western MA we have escaped snow all winter. But we have suddenly gotten storms dropping 5". And it is cold and very windy.

Husband John brought home several varieties of sweet potatoes from farmers' market we attend. We bake them all and have them around all week. If warm I split it open and fill it with whatever is in the frig. Today's breakfast was a mixture of yogurt and guacamole on a white sweet potato. Yesterday's dinner potato was topped with a ladle of a bean/veggie soup I made that was like a thick stew. Yum.

If I have cottage cheese in the frig that will be a start. Maybe with chopped up apple on top.

I always have hummus and that is a great start with some type of salsa on top of that.

Potatoes are great to bake and have around for nutritious meals...

Ah sweet potato fries! Oven-baked to avoid too much grease.

Linda, I didn't even know there was a white sweet potato. I believe you're talking about a true yam, not the pale yellow sweet potato that is often called a yam?

I'm confused about sweet potatoes vs yams: Same vs different. But since I don't eat them, I never checked into them. I probably should. I'll read agate's link and see if it points the way.

Nope, there is a white sweet potato. The flesh is white. Friends also grow a purple sweet potato. Flesh is royal purple. They are not yams.
I love growing all the stuff we grow and I love all the exciting foods that are grown here in the Pioneer Valley of western MA
