It is!!1 -
fish patties made from sardines can, tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce salad/omlette with cheese and grilled toast1

Salad with pear, blue cheese and candied pecans to start. My ribeye and shared sides. Carrots were roasted too long and look awful but tasted nice. Mash. Leftover sauces from last weekends roast. Onion gravy and hollandaise. The latter can be reheated at the lowest setting of the microwave.

I gave you a "like" for the plate. My mother had a whole set of them. There's a Currier & Ives print of a winter scene under that steak. She got them before I was born, but I think they either came in boxes of powdered laundry soap or were one of those offers in the grocery store, where each week a different piece was offered at a really low price (I think the idea was that you would buy a few at ridiculously low prices, then you would be hooked and end up filling out your place settings at more normal prices). By the time I came along she had bought a different place-setting we used for everyday, but we brought the Currier & Ives out for holiday meals (probably in part because she had more place settings in that pattern, and at holidays my older siblings came with spouses and grandkids).
Thanks for setting off fond memories.5 -
My last meal was a Lenten Friday supper, so I kept it simple: a sweet bell pepper with hummus and a bowl of edamame (well, technically mukimame -- they sell them shelled in little plastic tubs in the produce section sometimes), dressed with rice vinegar, soy sauce, and a little sea salt.1

I recently received a diagnosis of diabetes so I've been doing A LOT more cooking. I've gotten a few cook books specializing in diabetic eating and have been trying a new recipe a day for the past couple of weeks. I live with my son and his kids and luckily have been 100% successful at preparing meals everybody likes!
This morning was breakfast cassarole.2 -
Protein pancakes with fresh strawberries and Greek yogurt.

Thank you for sharing that piece of history. I had no idea about some of that.

Coronavirus Lockdown Sunday (2) Dinner: Beefaroni!! Old school meal, using old school ingredients (everything canned or jarred, except the onion and pasta, but including quality canned ground beef). Very good, actually. Low salt items keep it reasonable. MFP recipe builder calls a serving (shown) as approx. 351 cals, 28g protein, 10g fat, 36g carbs. Batch good for two meals for family, maybe a bit more. Plus a side of maple carrots (family favorite) to get to the bottom of the fridge stuff. Hopefully getting some fresh stuff delivery this week.

Ground beef in a can???? Never have I seen this, and I dont really want to TBH lol
Please tell more.
I know you're in Canada from previous posts. So, we were visiting our daughter in Ottawa and got back just before the border crossing got complex with Coronavirus shutdown. That was fortunate. Unfortunately, we came back to the Grocery Panic here in NJ. Most fresh stuff was gone. So we went to alternate sources to fill in until the stores resupply (it's still a catch-as-catch-can situation; we are in higher-risk categories [age and issues] so we're doing the online thing - very frustrating). We had some prepper-y experience for sourcing items (food and nonfood) from being impacted by Superstorm Sandy a few years back (we're at the New Jersey shore).
Long story short, outdoor and provisioning-type stores have some of this. Amazon, too. Canadian Walmart and other outlets seem to be stocked more plentifully than here in the USA. This is "pure" beef - not Sloppy Joes, Chili or other prepared food things, although that's sort of the same idea. Those others are already seasoned meals in a can, and usually quite salty - more than we like. Admittedly, this kind of plain canned beef isn't as appealing, out of the can, as you'd like or might be accustomed to, LOL. But it "dresses up" pretty well in a decent recipe.
I took a quick look at Walmart Canada to see what they had before making this reply.

You're very welcome. And I'm wishing I had fresh strawberries to put on pancakes (social distancing for me = not shopping if not absolutely necessary). Maybe I could make a compote from frozen strawberries ...1 -
