So, since mom broke her shoulder, I have been in charge of foraging for us. The kitchen is MINE! I have been trying to be creative in my cooking, and find good recipes that get in some meat and veggies, but still trying to be somewhat healthy. I am not as focused on lo-fat, lo-cal, I mostly just want well rounded. The problem I have found is that most recipes make meals for 4 or more. While I lived alone, I could cook and put up the leftovers, or invite friends over to eat.
The other day, I bought this book
The Pleasures of Cooking for One, by Judith Jones. I saw her interviewed on TV and she made a cheese souffle. It looked amazing and today I doubled the recipe and made two!
So these along with a green salad were lunch. And, I have to say, they were delicious and fairly easy. Of course, they took about every bowl I had in the kitchen, but they were so worth it! Light and airy and oh so cheesy. I used vermont white cheddar this time. I will be making these again, maybe next time swiss or grueyere.
Update on Mom...it's been a month since she fell. We have been to the orthopedic surgeon who decided that surgery on the shoulder would be a crap shoot and that we will hold off and see how it heals. He seems to think it is healing well and she will return to most normal activities. However, in the next 2 weeks, we see him again, but this time for Mom's knees. His plan is to replace the left knee and then the right later on. His goal is to get her out of her electric chair and walking and soon.
That's where we are.

Oh, I have that book and love it! You should try the beef bourguignon recipe - it's delicious!
Thank you for keeping us updated on your mom, Amy!
Cam isn't too keen on leftovers, so I'm thinking about getting this book and doubling recipes. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
