Chocolate chip ice cream

I keep chocolate syrup in the house in the summer since I have ice cream often. Chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate syrup on top taste great. Chocolate syrup goes best with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. You can also make chocolate milk from the chocolate syrup by mixing it in with milk.

Strawberry ice cream

I buy a lot of ice cream in the hot summer months. Strawberry ice cream is one of my favorite flavors. If you like strawberries, strawberry ice cream may become your new favorite flavor.

Egg salad

Making egg salad is easy. It makes a great sandwich. Be sure to first read how to make hard boiled eggs if you don't already know how. After you peel the eggs and put them in a bowl, all you do is add some mayonnaise and mix it together. Salt, and even a little pepper taste good on them. Egg salad taste good on white bread. I also have it on a roll sometimes. Two eggs should be enough for each person.

Hard boiled eggs

Hard boiled eggs are great for lunch. I have two shown in the picture. Two eggs is usually the right amount for each person. They are very easy to make. Fill a small pot with cold water. Make sure the tops of the eggs are covered with water. You don't need any more water in the pot than that. Boil them on high on the stove until the water starts bubbling. Then put them on low heat for about 20 minutes. This is the approximate time. If you like them harder, then you can cook them longer. It is important you cook them enough though. If you take them off sooner, the eggs will be too soft, making it hard to peal the shells off later on. Be sure to run the eggs a little under cold water before you peel them. The shells are very hot! I have them here already cut open. You can add a little salt to them when they are done. You can also make egg salad from hard boiled eggs.

Cheese with mustard on toast

A simple sandwich to make for any time of the day or night. Cheese goes well with mustard. It is a much tastier sandwich on toast than just plain white bread. I use no-fat cheese all the time. I try to cut back on the fat and calories where I can.

Hot cocoa

Hot cocoa is great to have in the cold winter months. The cocoa I have here also has marshmallows in it. Check the labels when you buy cocoa. Some cocoa with marshmallows has a lot of calcium in it. It is a good way of getting extra calcium. I just fill this size tea cup shown in the picture almost up to the top with cold water. Then I put the tea cup in the microwave for one minute and fifty seconds. Then just empty the cocoa and marshmallow packet into the water and mix. The water can also be boiled on the stove and added later.

Waffles

I love waffles. They sell many different kinds of waffles in the supermarket. I like them with butter and syrup. I never have more than two. They are good for breakfast. I can eat them also later in the day. They taste good with orange or other fruit juice as the drink.

Stuffed shells

These are delicious. They are an Italian favorite of mine. I usually have them every Christmas. I have them cut open here because they were just so hot. Stuffed shells are just pasta in the shape of shells, stuffed with ricotta cheese. They sell them in the frozen section. You bake them in the oven. Add your own favorite tomato sauce with them. These are very fulling. Normally I don't have more than 3-6 of them at a time.

Turkey dinner

I have here turkey with turkey stuffing and candied yams. The candied yams you can find in the frozen food section. They come with a packet you mix with water. It gives them a very sweet syrupy candy flavor sauce when you cook them in the over. They are very tasty. I have them every Thanksgiving.

Yams

These are cooked yams. You buy them where they sell the fresh vegetables in your supermarket. They almost look like potatoes but are much thiner and longer. They are very tasty and soft. I have them every Thanksgiving. They are known for their bright orange color.

Cranberry sauce

This is cranberry sauce. I have this on Thanksgiving. It is sold in cans in the supermarket. It taste really good with the turkey. If you don't use gravy or mayonnaise with your turkey, this is a good choice.

Spanish olives

These are Spanish style stuffed manzanilla olives. I have these on Thanksgiving. They taste a lot different than the black olives do. Manzanilla olives also go well in salads.

Black olives

Black olives taste really good. I always have them at Thanksgiving. I usually eat them plain. You can also have them in a salad with dressing on them.
