Welcome back to Day Two! Today: what are your 3 favourite dishes or meals? I love to get inspiration for Flylady Tuesday menu planning! 😃Fantastic comments yesterday - wish I could grant all your "pom pom" wishes!
Hi Diane, thank you for posting these videos. My dog just passed away and it's been really, really hard. She was my best friend for 10 1/2 years and I miss her dearly. Though I may not do all the activities you have planned this week, just seeing your face and hearing your cheerful voice is uplifting.
@Stacey Angel: I know this is a month belated to when you posted, but I just saw your comment. I am so sorry for the loss of your dog. Pets are not like a part of the family to so many of us. They ARE family. Please know that many people are thinking about you. I know that I am. Sending you hugs and hoping that memories of your bestie will help sustain you through this difficult time. ❤💚
My Mum is unwell, I’m running two households hers and mine. My go to meals are anything that can be made ahead in the crockpot - vegetarian lasagne, vege curry with rice or dosa, vegetable hot pot and salads!
Instant pot Mac and cheese! A pound of pasta with 2 cups of water, and 2 bouillon cubes. 4 minutes, quick release. Add 8 oz shredded cheese and 2 tbsp butter (we use dairy free cheese and butter, because we’re vegan and it still works beautifully). Stir and serve with salad. We make this on hectic evenings a lot. It’s hearty comfort food that’s on the table fast with minimal hands on time.
You’re looking lovely today, Diane! Three family favourites… Well, we all love daal with rice and a dollop of yoghurt, meatballs with mashed potatoes, mushroom cream sauce and lingonberry jam and gingery sweet potato stew with rice. The latter is an invention by my husband. You cube sweet potatoes and finely chop onions, garlic and a generous amount of ginger. Sweat the trio in some oil, add sweet potatoes and red lentils. Let cook for a couple of minutes and then add equal amounts of coconut milk, canned crushed tomatoes and water plus salt and pepper. Cook under lid until potatoes are soft and lentils are done. Serve with rice and lime juice! Doesn’t sound like much but it’s deliciously creamy, sweet and gingery.
Hmmm… 3 favourite meals. I admit that this has been a struggle lately! I feel like I slowly let things go over the past two years with the virus. I just lost motivation. This retreat is just what I’ve been needing. 1) homemade pizza - always a favourite! 2) sweet & sour sausage over rice - we live in a predominantly Mennonite community which has the best pork sausage. 3) hamburgers on the grill - a summer favourite in our house
My top three go-to meals are: 1. Egg fried rice with leftover meats or veggies 2. Night breakfast -- egg sandwiches or omelets; biscuits with sausage gravy; or just eggs, toast, and bacon -- all served with fruit on the side 3. My husband likes to grill occasionally, but he will cook enough for a week's worth of meals: hamburgers, barbecued chicken, corn on the cob, broccoli and other veggies, steaks. I am enjoying this series, Diane! Thank you for sharing your ideas and inspiration.
Three favorite go to meals: 1. Empanadas 2. Homemade hamburgers 3. Taco Soup. Keeping with the theme-Plan and Play-I’ve ordered tickets for three shows. Disney on Ice (with my little boy) Cirque Mechanics: Zephyr. A local show featuring the Boston Brass. Using Notion to capture ideas as I go along! Thank you for the reminder to plan some fun! 🎉🎉🎉
Our three favorite meals are 1)Taco Bar- all the ingredients to make tacos, burritos, quesadillas etc., 2)Crockpot-roast with potatoes, onions and carrots, 3) Spaghetti with homemade sauce and garlic bread. Yum, yum!
My family’s favorite go to meals would be beef and dumplings, spaghetti and meatballs, and chicken and noodles. All made from scratch because they won’t eat canned, jarred or boxed food.🤷♀️
Our Family loves Hamburger Steak, fried Potatoes and Broccoli. We also love my Homemade Spegetti with French Bread, and another meal favorite is Pork Chops served with Cinnamon Butternut Squash. Have a Beautiful Day!!!
My faves are chicken piccata with thin spaghetti (must have capers!!!), steak frites, and I live in Ohio, where we grow delicious sweet corn 🌽! So at least once a summer, I like to have a dinner of fresh sweet corn on the cob, homegrown tomatoes, sliced onions and cucumbers and a burger on the grill! 😋
Dukkah salmon, chips and salad, marinated steak with pesto-mayonnaise sauce and vegetables, chicken parmigiana. Will use perfume today and paint my nails. House 9/10; self 4/10. I need to take more care of myself.
Red chicken curry with quinoa, grilled chicken with steamed veggies, fish (something white and mild like barramundi) with cumin and turmeric, pan seared and served with baked sweet potato. Yum yum!!
My Dear Diane ! Yuo are my Light in the Dank. Im always struggling with selfcare . My hausehold is a good 9 , thank god i found you. 🥰 My favorite Menues to make , and everybody in my Familie love 's are: Wienerschnitzel, Kaiserschmarren and Käspätzle. 😉i am from Austria ,Vorarlberg ,Bregenzerwald. 🤗Rosmarie Berchtold
My morning oatmeal with all the fixings is favorite meal followed by fresh tomato and cheese sandwich and mew new favorite is tossed veggies with cinnamon and butter. For my room I potted up two new spider plants. For my self care I put on pink eye shadow and wore perfume that reminds me of being a teenager (I'm 61). This is so much fun! Have a wonderful day! Looking forward to tomorrow.
I worked on getting my nicknac shelves, and things back on walls in front room after new paint job. Meatloaf, spaghetti, and tuna casserole. It just me so cooking smaller is what I am learning. Thank you again. God bless you and your family.
I know I'm staying up far too late, mainly because the TV is company, another voice. Hard getting used to being without my late husband, especially at night time and a little anxious about living alone after so many years. I do try to get to bed earlier but it depends sometimes on my emotional state. I'll get there. 🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss. Could you substitute a call to a friend for your tv to start moving toward bed. My husband works 24 hour shifts so when he isn’t home I turn his pillow long and set a timer to get ready for bed. I hate sleeping alone. His pillow feels enough like a person that I don’t wake up during the night. I hope it gets better for you.
@@susanleadbetter8639 you are welcome. I wish we lived close enough to visit. I think you must be a lovely person. I don’t suppose you happen to live in SC?
@@wendyduncan9084 That's I've so nice of you, bless you. I recently moved to Crewe in Cheshire from Euxton, Chorley Lancashire, to be closer to our son and his family, which we were planning on doing anyway. X
Hi from AZ, you look fabulous, those eyes are gorgeous!..I make red chile..my hubs fav...it is diced meat , pureed red chile from hatch new mexico, cooked over several hours at simmer...served with tortillas, pinto beans(home made also..insta pot on multi grain after bring to boil) also we grill marinated flap meat(its used in most fajita recipes)..its a sad day for us..we unexpectedly lost our Milo pup yesterday suddenly. your face always brings a smile to me..thanks
My go to meals are tacos and spaghetti. I always have leftover sauce and seasoned, cooked taco meat in the freezer. Then I just have to cook the noodles or tortillas and dinner is ready.
I love the candle idea! I work from home and I light a candle every day. Easy meal for my family. Quick flat bread pizza. I use any veg in the refrigerator. Bell pepper, baked chicken, any cheese. Bake until bubbly and beautiful. In the summer I grill my pizza. My family can customize. It’s fun and easy and my family thinks it’s special. Cheers to you! 🍕🍺
I’m wearing a jewelry set that I believe is too “fancy” for daily wear. Of course, it’s not. I’m using a rose scented perfume that I have packed for traveling. I’m traveling on a river cruise which is hyggely in and of itself!
Three dishes for us: 1) Lasagne. Loved by my girls but also their husbands. Those men can put away some food and they always go for seconds bless them ❤️ 2) Chili. Always a favorite on an autumn Sunday while watching the NFL! 🏈 #gopats! 3) Minestrone. I love your Mum’s version Diane. Have made that several times. I also follow the Magnolia Table recipe. Thank you for this retreat! Just what I needed ❤️
Thank you for this encouraging series, Diane! Family favorites: 1.Mississippi pot roast with rice or mashed potatoes and some green veg 2. Tacos - lots of different variety there. Tonight I’m making Cajun fish tacos with rice and beans on the side. 3. Red rice and sausage. This is a favorite for the men in my house. It is a regional dish made with sliced sausages, rice and tomatoes. Eat it with hot sauce. I serve seasonal vegetables with it. This time of year is okra. (I live in the southern US.😉) 💖💖
@@wendyduncan9084 😘😘. It was hard to narrow it down to just 3! My teenage son says his favorite is any meal that is meat and rice. 🥰🥰. And I’m in SC Lowcountry.😉
Three go to meals are: vegetarian chili, pasta with spinach and salmon and always a frozen pizza on hand for "emergencies " 😋. Treated myself to some reading yesterday and will be using a perfume that had gotten lost in the back of a drawer 😇!
Hi Diane, Thanks for your cheering motivation today. I needed it because the baby kept me busy last night, so I’m feeling a bit down and tired. But thanks to you I will go to the bedroom and do some shores over there and will see what i have to make it ‘hygge’. You looked wonderful and I love the necklace of your grandmother. Family favorites - wraps with chicken, corn and kidney beans seasoned with cajun seasoning . And put some cheese on it and put it in the oven for approx 10 minutes. - surinam style bami (english is as you see not my first language - hope google can help you with the recipe, otherwise i have one in dutch for you, which i can try to translate) - spätzle and ‘geschnetzles’ - brings us back to our honeymoon and the kids love it as well. - And okay another one: ‘kapsalon’ - it’s a recipe of a hairdresser in Rotterdam who ordered this meal at a restaurant. Hairdresser in dutch is ‘kapsalon’ and that’s why the dish is named like that. Take some shawarma (i like the chicken shawarma but take the one you like), but baked fries ON it, add cheese on the top, but it the oven ‘till the cheese melted, add lettuces ON it (yes, i know it sound insane), and add garlic sause on the top. Eat it all together. It isn’t the most healthy choice but once in a while doesn’t really matters 😉 See you tomorrow
Hi, Diane, yes for a glamorous sparkling feeling on a normal Tuesday 💃🏼! Feeling one point better already… My 3 dishes are: eggplants stuffed with tomatoes and onions, warm Spanish potato salad and chili sin carne … make us happy every time and if you wake me up in the night, I can start without thinking. Love and thanks, sparkling Monika💎❣
@@username00009 hi, yes, right: Imam Bayildi, it’s a recipe from a Turkish restaurant owner! It’s wonderful with feta cheese and today I added chick peas, so tasty! Warm Spanish potato salad is a recipe from my Spanish stepfather Pepe: boil in ONE pot small potatoes, carrots in big pieces, green beans and eggs in water, put eggs out and peel after 10 minutes. After 10-15 minutes more, when veggies are done, pour off the water (use it for a soup with leftover veggies the next day), put in bowls , add eggs, cut in half and pour over vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper after taste, parsley, if you like. Ready. Enjoy❣Greetings❣
You look glamourous for sure. Love the gold necklace. My easy go-to meals are spaghetti, tacos, and baked chicken with rice pilaf. These are not my favorite foods, but easy to make without a fuss or recipe. I like to clean my house on the day after my grandkids come over because they leave such a mess on the floors. I make the Flylady schedule to fit my life.
Our favorite meals: chicken pot pie (I always ‘decorate’ the top crust to add some fun. I might actually cut a name into the crust, or a shape-heart, tree. I just have fun with it. I also make a simple chicken cobbler. Like the pot pie, this is a recipe that is so easy and delicious it is a great dish to share with someone who needs some help. Lastly, for a treat with coffee or tea, I make a whole wheat pumpkin banana bread. I try to keep an extra loaf in the freezer so I can share.
Happy Tuesday Diane 💕 I did notice your make up was looking extra lovely before you even mentioned that you’d upped the glam a bit today. 💄 Family favourites are a shepherds pie and cauliflower and broccoli cheese, I always add extra grated cheese on top so it’s got a lovely crispy topping. With those I make an extra large dish so there’s a second meal to go in the freezer for a home made ready meal. My final favourite is anything we have on a Fridays because it’s when hubby cooks 😄 which is always something and chips/fries. Thank you always for the inspiration and motivation, love from Kent U.K. 🇬🇧💕
Thank you for today's inspiration. I chose some extra special mascara today. Three of my favourite meals are 1. Rainbow Quiche - love the name and the colours. It's packed with vegetables and topped with lovely cheddar 2. Lasagne - the one with our homemade pasta 3. Full monty salad - loads of leafy greens, fresh herbs, cucumber, capsicum, tomatoes, kidney beans, sweetcorn, feta cheese, hard boiled eggs and a homemade dressing. Best with flatbread straight out of a pan
@@sherryjones377 sure. Rainbow quiche For the dough: -450g flour -220g unsalted Butter -1tsp salt -100ml water Mix the dough and roll it on a deep baking sheet making an inch high border. On the dough: -500g frozen peas - 1-2 capsicums diced -bacon cubes if you like Mix -400g crème fraîche -150ml milk -4 eggs -1/2 tsp ground turmeric -1 tsp salt -1 tsp ground black pepper And pour it over the mixture. Top with 150g grated cheddar and put in the oven at 200°C for 35-40mins
This is a great series, re-energising and inspiring, three dishes, sausage and mash, lasagne, toad in the hole, love your necklace today, happy Tuesday 💕
What a fun way to kept moving along. Last night, sirloin tips in crockpot and tonight, leftover meat in tacos. In the middle of a heat wave, so sandwiches for the next few days. I love adding sliced crispy apples to my sandwiches for some crunch.🍎
Wow thank you for your gorgeous personality…you looked so very glam today with that lippy colour. You have many personality traits of your grandma. Today in my bedroom I cleaned a large window I love look out of a lot which frames an enormous Angophera Costicata tree which was humming with wildlife. Kookaburras, Rainbow Lorikeets, Sulpher Crested Cockatoo…Matilda my favourite songstress Magpie. I saw every feather glistening now the window is clean! 1) Japanese theme (I used to live a work in Japan). I get out our chopsticks and some of my favourite ceramic little dishes and bowls. as dishes are served separately like this in Japan. Salmon (marinated in ginger and garlic and light soya sauce and kecap manis, an Indonesian sweet soy sauce zested kumquat and adding juice to the marinade just before cooking), served with a “bowl ball” (nice presentation) of steamed rice with roasted sesame seed topping, served with a bowl of miso soup and Chawanmushi (茶碗蒸し, chawanmushi, literally "tea cup steam" or "steamed in a tea bowl") is an egg custard dish in Japanese cuisine.Unlike many other custards, it is usually eaten as a dish in a meal, as chawanmushi contains savory rather than sweet ingredients. The custard consists of an egg mixture flavored with soy sauce, dashi, and mirin, with numerous ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, kamaboko, yuri-ne (lily root), ginkgo and boiled shrimp placed into a tea-cup-like container. The recipe for the dish is similar to that of Chinese steamed eggs, but the toppings often differ. Since egg custards cannot be picked up by chopsticks, it is one of the few Japanese dishes that is eaten with a spoon. 2)Mushroom Leek and roasted pumpkin quiche with Greek style salad. 3)Gado Gado Which is an Indonesian salad with a super tasty peanut sauce. www.theguardian.com/food/2022/may/25/how-to-make-the-perfect-gado-gado-indonesias-super-salad-recipe
Thank you for the Virtual Retreat. It feels like a breath of fresh air to follow along with you daily. Three quick meals- 1. Pasta with squash and onions. 2. Stir fry veggies over rice or noodles. 3. Salad with roasted veggies and protein of your choice.
thanks Diane. I was so looking forward to today. It seems simple - but it is so inspiring! My three easy, summer go-to meals: roasted veggie and refried bean fajitas (with avocado & sour cream), sweet corn on the cob and BLTs (veggie and real bacon), some kind of pasta salad with lots of veggies, and sometimes shrimp or chicken added (which we can eat for a couple days). I have been having lots of trouble sleeping well lately (some major anxiety issues), so spending a few minutes to create a more calm and welcoming space feels very inviting. I'll probably add a candle or diffuser and flowers - move a fern up there for purifying the air! have a wonderful day all!
Your eyes was the first I've noticed when the video started-so when yo we're speaking about the make-up, it all made sense-and you look great and even more energetic than usual! My favorite dishes are pizza, plain Margherita, pasta with zucchini, and pumpkin/zucchini flowers fried in mixture very similar to the pancake one:) But I love to eat lots of other things! Going to treat myself today to something tasty as my "self-care" mission! Hear you tomorrow! Ra Ra Ra to all this great community!:)
Oh... today was a fun one! Three favorite meals... 🤔 our favorite meals change periodically, I have a lot of type 1 in my house and we get super bored of the same meals too regularly. 3 we like right now are: meatloaf in a large pan (so its thinner) topped with mashed potatoes once its all done; tacos (of various kinds) with beans, pico de gallo, and crumble cheese; and pork roast cooked with black beans 🫘 😊
💖 Loving this so much - thank you! 🧚🏼♀️ My 3 favourite/go-to dishes are: 1. Sausage Pasta 🍝 - snip sausages into chunks, stir-fry them until they’re browned with olive oil, garlic and onions, salt + pepper, add basil, Balsamic vinegar, chopped up peppers and tinned tomatoes, and simmer for about 5/10 mins! Stir your cooked pasta in and serve up! 😋 2. Cottage pie 🥧 3. Chilli flaked salmon + mixed salad! 🌶🥗 🧚🏼♀️ Off to add some Hygge ✨ to our bedroom, and then paint my nails 💅🏼 before launching into the rest of the day’s tasks! 😅 thanks again! X
Thank you so much for this!! These videos bring such a lift to my day. My 3 go-to family fave dishes: 1. chicken tortilla soup 2. chicken paprikash 3. kahlua pulled pork.
Love reading all these meal ideas! Our favorite meals include: rotini pasta salad with feta cheese, tomatoes, and olives, summer (yellow) squash and baked chicken, fish and fries. Did you mention your favorite meals?
My family 3 dinners which they all like is. (1) Shepherd's Pie with toasted garlic bread, (2) Sausages and vegetable casserole with pasta, (3) Aubergine/potatoes/peas Curry with Rice. I do this all the times,.
Another great video. I've had a busy day so I'm just getting to my 10 minutes in the bedroom, but I'm getting ready to give everything a good dusting. I know it will feel good to accomplish that. My family's three favorite meals are: (1) rosemary chicken, (2) herb pork chops; and (3) spaghetti with meat sauce. The last is pure comfort food for me. My mother used to make it all the time and it takes me back to my childhood. Thank you for the positivity and motivation you give us. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for today! Your inspiration is working. My favourite dishes I make often is: Salmon with broccoli mash Chicken and creamed mushrooms served in a butternut half. Pork in a cream sauce with mashed potatoes served with avocado salad.
Love this little series. My three favorite meals would be pizza, (because my son likes to make it and I don't have to cook!) Fritata, (uses up eggs from our chickens), and Taco soup.
Hey Diane! It’s only day 2 and I am loving it - you are so much fun and such an inspiration! Ok so 3 meals: chicken divan, spaghetti with meat sauce and sheet pan steak or chicken fajitas. Since it’s Plan and Play day, I’m planning my menu, checking over my budget and going to lunch with a friend. I’m even going to wear make up and jewelry which I rarely do! I have my late mother’s jewelry so I’ll try to find something to use. She was a T4 (although she’d never heard of DYT) so most of her stuff is a bit bold and formal for me. I’m a T1/2. Thanks for that idea though. Btw, you do look very glamorous in a T1 kind of way! Thanks for all you do!! Looking forward to tomorrow!
Thanks for doing this Diane! Truly appreciate it ❣️ love this new series. Can't wait for the results. Added some dried flowers that I had in the kitchen to my bedroom and wearing my pearls and my summer body mist.
Diane, you look fantastic! I love the sweater and the gold bobble necklace! So cute. I went into my heirlooms and spent a little too much time loving my grandparents and great-grandmother. 😁 Wearing a wind-up clock necklace from the 1940's! Not favorite meals, but my family cannot have gluten, dairy or eggs which is everything! So... 1. Oven-baked chicken thighs, brown rice and a green leafy salad. 2. Black-eyed peas and collard greens with wild rice. 3. Taco-shepherd's pie 😋which is pretty much ground meat, non-dairy cheese, vegetables in a good sauce with a thick cornbread topping baked in a cast iron skillet. It's a favorite!
Turkey Stroganoff: I put 1 bag of egg noodles in the instant pot, add 1 container of beef bone broth and add water to the bone broth container and pour in more until it seems wet enough. I'm able to see the water but it doesn't cover all the noodles. Then I chop up a raw onion into slices and put it on top and throw in a pound of pre-cooked frozen ground turkey (85% fat that I drain) on top. I close the lid and choose high pressure for 6 minutes. Then I quick release and add paprika, a few squeezes of garlic from a tube, and sour cream (I don't measure, I just know when it's creamy enough). Cook until the spices have blended their flavors and the sour cream is warm. So easy and a family favorite! Pre cooking the turkey, draining and freezing it in 1 lb zip lock bags has been life changing. I use the same method for chili, dumping the frozen meat on top of the beans, tomato sauce and seasonings (stirring them in before cooking). Chili takes 10 minutes. The Instant Pot in general has been life changing!
If you want vegan chili, just don't add the frozen vegan ground meat before cooking, stir it in after quick releasing the beans and cook on Saute mode for the amount of time recommended on the bag. I always add extra water because the vegan fake meat absorbs the liquid. I also add zucchini cut into 1 inch rings and quartered when I make the vegan version, or just if I have a lot of zucchini. I leave the skin on the zucchini so it doesn't get too mushy during the high pressure time.
Today I wear matching earings green as my printed dress(each month I buy me some very cheap earings on Aliexpress 5€max😊..with that I can match my earrings with my outfit..and i receive each month a new tiny gift in my mailbox🤣) My 3 fav meals: -chili con carne(easy to freeze) -home made pizza every saturday night+soup or salad -Pad thai or stir fry Noodles
I do hairy dieter cottage pie, we also love fish (salmon/cod) spread with whole grain mustard topped with breadcrumbs, lemon zest, olive oil. A new family favourite is jason vales fish sandwich with sweet potato wedges 😊
I usually do Int. Fasting so I have black coffee and then a meal at 11 or so. sometimes it is breakfast, sometime we have a lunch type of meal. I always think of what we will have for our second meal at 5. I often make most of the meal early so, it will be easy to complete and serve. If a person does not know what they are cooking a dinner, one could slip into a bad habit of ordering or going out. Bless you.
The three meals that came to mind were Tuscan Chicken, BBQ Chicken and Sloppy Joe's (a healthier version for the most part). So I will make sure to get ingredients for those meals next week. Again, these videos are super helpful.
Good morning from the USA (Indiana)! I put on my favorite comfy dress today (yellow with white polka dots 😍) and a bit more makeup. I’m about to have a cozy read and then add some flowers to my bedroom before getting to my regular zone cleaning for today. Some favorite meals: 1. In the summer, my favorite is grilled chicken thighs with charred corn and squash. Grill chicken thighs and then set in a casserole dish that has a light sauce of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and green onions. While the chicken rests, grill corn on the cob and sliced squash (zucchini/yellow, etc). Place spinach and grated parmigiana on a platter and then layer with the veggies and chicken. Lace on the extra lemon-garlic sauce. 😋 2. In the fall and winter, Potato-Leek Soup: you can Google lots of good recipes. Mine has a bit of ham and lots potatoes and cream. We serve it with a crusty bread, and it’s the perfect cold-weather meal. ☺️ 3. Anytime: sour cream chicken enchiladas! I grew up in the Southwest US, and so I love Tex-Mex food. 💛
Scheduled a haircut for myself for tomorrow. Going to an Aveda school (usually just go to an inexpensive place once or twice a year). I'm so excited! Three favorite meals to plan: plate tacos (easy and something the whole family will eat), Thai soup (delicious and comforting), and anything I can throw in the slow cooker in the morning!
I always say your intro with you... “Diane in Denmark here! Rah! Rah! Rah!”☺️ You also gave me a giggle when you said spray yourself some perfume not the cleaning spray!😂 My top 3 favorite are Carbonara, pancit and salmon with some veggies on the side😁
Love this! My three dishes. Spinach lasagna, blt salad, homemade grilled cheese n tomato soup. I make the bread use my frozen cheese and make my tomato soup from scratch. It's easy with the vegetables from the garden now. Your are so refreshing ❤️. I'm feeling ready to go today. The dressing part was hard but I did it! I got my hair cut short, short yesterday and love it!! I even took time and put on face mask. My skin hasn't felt this soft forever. Your a blessing. I'm off and running today.
So lovely to see you again today! ❤️ our favourite meals are, tacos 🌮 Diane’s salmon 🍣 and tuna pasta bake. Really enjoying these little challenges! Xx
I love to cook Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Parmesan cheese and a lot if garlic, filet with cream sauce and mushrooms, as well as vegetarian lasagna 😋 (with celery, zucchini, carrots & a lot of cheese) - so yummy!
Loving this retreat as a jump start in September! Our family is vegan, so we grow a big garden to help with grocery prices. So we eat whatever is harvested. Our three go to meals are rice and roasted veggies, ratatouille with all the garden veg, and vegan bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches with steamed green beans and onions! Can't wait to see tomorrow's missions!
Planning a meet up with my cousin. 😁. Three meals I often make are Cajun spiced salmon done in the air fryer, spaghetti bol made with lots of veggies and sweet potato soup. Really enjoying our retreat 😎
The make up looks very nice Diane! I am picking out jewellery that I haven’t worn in a while to flash up my outfits. A potato and leek soup is a fave, Butter chicken and a curried potato dish.
i'm loving this retreat, Diane! Three of my go-to dishes are lasagne, Chicken Divan, and Sole Meuniere. Since it's so hot here in southern California this week, I'll be making Louie salad with crab and shrimp--a no-cook meal that's great with a glass of chilled white wine! 😉
My favorite meals to make Chicken and Lime Soup from Budget Bytes (easily doubled and it freezes very well for future meals!), Oyakodon (a rice bowl with chicken and egg), and Toasted sandwiches
I was excited to get up this morning to watch your video. Of course I had to wait until I completed my Morning Routine. 3 go-to- meals: Baked Parmesan Chicken with Caesar salad, A Mississippi Roast Beef in the slow cooker, and Tuscan Salmon with spinach and cherry tomatoes 🍅.
Quick, easy meals I enjoy are fish 'n' chips (usually ready made, just bung in the oven) with peas and carrots; jacket potatoes - although not quick, can be left to get on with cooking themselves while I do other things; stir frying - so very quick to cook and only one pan to wash up afterwards! Enjoying this (re) treat, Diane, thanks for the motivation xx
10 mins in bedroom - tidy and de-clutter resulted in uncovering a crocheted granny square cardigan I started before the first heatwave so:- 10 mins pamper - continued sewing together my granny square cardigan whilst enjoying some greengages and some blackberries from my garden tomorrows clothes hanging on bedroom door, jewellery selected Plan & Play - contacted some friends and set up a D&D session on Saturday. Looking forward to that. 3 family favourite meals - braised chicken with 'dead' potatoes, steamed veg and onion gravy; cajun-spiced chicken rice and peas; baked layered potato salad with grated veggies and cheese.
Welcome back to Day Two! Today: what are your 3 favourite dishes or meals? I love to get inspiration for Flylady Tuesday menu planning! 😃Fantastic comments yesterday - wish I could grant all your "pom pom" wishes!
Fantastic comments today, too❣
Hi Diane, thank you for posting these videos. My dog just passed away and it's been really, really hard. She was my best friend for 10 1/2 years and I miss her dearly. Though I may not do all the activities you have planned this week, just seeing your face and hearing your cheerful voice is uplifting.
@Stacey Angel: I know this is a month belated to when you posted, but I just saw your comment. I am so sorry for the loss of your dog. Pets are not like a part of the family to so many of us. They ARE family. Please know that many people are thinking about you. I know that I am. Sending you hugs and hoping that memories of your bestie will help sustain you through this difficult time. ❤💚
@@hyggegirlstefx988 Thank you so very much for your kind message. You've really lifted my spirit.
@@staceyangel8926 You are most welcome. I am glad that I could do a little something to help you through this time. 💚💚
My Mum is unwell, I’m running two households hers and mine. My go to meals are anything that can be made ahead in the crockpot - vegetarian lasagne, vege curry with rice or dosa, vegetable hot pot and salads!
Instant pot Mac and cheese! A pound of pasta with 2 cups of water, and 2 bouillon cubes. 4 minutes, quick release. Add 8 oz shredded cheese and 2 tbsp butter (we use dairy free cheese and butter, because we’re vegan and it still works beautifully). Stir and serve with salad. We make this on hectic evenings a lot. It’s hearty comfort food that’s on the table fast with minimal hands on time.
This is fabulous! Thanks! Despite what My Big Fat Greek Wedding implies, Orthodox Christians are vegan for about half the year.
You’re looking lovely today, Diane! Three family favourites… Well, we all love daal with rice and a dollop of yoghurt, meatballs with mashed potatoes, mushroom cream sauce and lingonberry jam and gingery sweet potato stew with rice.
The latter is an invention by my husband. You cube sweet potatoes and finely chop onions, garlic and a generous amount of ginger. Sweat the trio in some oil, add sweet potatoes and red lentils. Let cook for a couple of minutes and then add equal amounts of coconut milk, canned crushed tomatoes and water plus salt and pepper. Cook under lid until potatoes are soft and lentils are done. Serve with rice and lime juice! Doesn’t sound like much but it’s deliciously creamy, sweet and gingery.
Hmmm… 3 favourite meals. I admit that this has been a struggle lately! I feel like I slowly let things go over the past two years with the virus. I just lost motivation. This retreat is just what I’ve been needing.
1) homemade pizza - always a favourite!
2) sweet & sour sausage over rice - we live in a predominantly Mennonite community which has the best pork sausage.
3) hamburgers on the grill - a summer favourite in our house
My top three go-to meals are:
1. Egg fried rice with leftover meats or veggies
2. Night breakfast -- egg sandwiches or omelets; biscuits with sausage gravy; or just eggs, toast, and bacon -- all served with fruit on the side
3. My husband likes to grill occasionally, but he will cook enough for a week's worth of meals: hamburgers, barbecued chicken, corn on the cob, broccoli and other veggies, steaks.
I am enjoying this series, Diane! Thank you for sharing your ideas and inspiration.
Three favorite go to meals: 1. Empanadas 2. Homemade hamburgers 3. Taco Soup.
Keeping with the theme-Plan and Play-I’ve ordered tickets for three shows. Disney on Ice (with my little boy) Cirque Mechanics: Zephyr. A local show featuring the Boston Brass.
Using Notion to capture ideas as I go along!
Thank you for the reminder to plan some fun! 🎉🎉🎉
Our three favorite meals are 1)Taco Bar- all the ingredients to make tacos, burritos, quesadillas etc., 2)Crockpot-roast with potatoes, onions and carrots, 3) Spaghetti with homemade sauce and garlic bread. Yum, yum!
My family’s favorite go to meals would be beef and dumplings, spaghetti and meatballs, and chicken and noodles. All made from scratch because they won’t eat canned, jarred or boxed food.🤷♀️
Our Family loves Hamburger Steak, fried Potatoes and Broccoli. We also love my Homemade Spegetti with French Bread, and another meal favorite is Pork Chops served with Cinnamon Butternut Squash. Have a Beautiful Day!!!
My faves are chicken piccata with thin spaghetti (must have capers!!!), steak frites, and I live in Ohio, where we grow delicious sweet corn 🌽!
So at least once a summer, I like to have a dinner of fresh sweet corn on the cob, homegrown tomatoes, sliced onions and cucumbers and a burger on the grill! 😋
Dukkah salmon, chips and salad, marinated steak with pesto-mayonnaise sauce and vegetables, chicken parmigiana. Will use perfume today and paint my nails. House 9/10; self 4/10. I need to take more care of myself.
Red chicken curry with quinoa, grilled chicken with steamed veggies, fish (something white and mild like barramundi) with cumin and turmeric, pan seared and served with baked sweet potato. Yum yum!!
My Dear Diane !
Yuo are my Light in the Dank.
Im always struggling with selfcare . My hausehold is a good 9 , thank god i found you. 🥰
My favorite Menues to make , and everybody in my Familie love 's are: Wienerschnitzel, Kaiserschmarren and Käspätzle. 😉i am from Austria ,Vorarlberg ,Bregenzerwald.
🤗Rosmarie Berchtold
What are the basics of these recipes?
My kids love a Wienerschnitzel, Kaiserschmarr‘n and Spinachspätzle 😃 - greetings from Germany (grew up in Bavaria😉)
My morning oatmeal with all the fixings is favorite meal followed by fresh tomato and cheese sandwich and mew new favorite is tossed veggies with cinnamon and butter. For my room I potted up two new spider plants. For my self care I put on pink eye shadow and wore perfume that reminds me of being a teenager (I'm 61). This is so much fun! Have a wonderful day! Looking forward to tomorrow.
I worked on getting my nicknac shelves, and things back on walls in front room after new paint job.
Meatloaf, spaghetti, and tuna casserole. It just me so cooking smaller is what I am learning. Thank you again. God bless you and your family.
cooking smaller, it is an adjustment.
I know I'm staying up far too late, mainly because the TV is company, another voice. Hard getting used to being without my late husband, especially at night time and a little anxious about living alone after so many years. I do try to get to bed earlier but it depends sometimes on my emotional state. I'll get there. 🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss. Could you substitute a call to a friend for your tv to start moving toward bed. My husband works 24 hour shifts so when he isn’t home I turn his pillow long and set a timer to get ready for bed. I hate sleeping alone. His pillow feels enough like a person that I don’t wake up during the night. I hope it gets better for you.
@@wendyduncan9084 Thank you Wendy, any advice appreciated 💖
@@susanleadbetter8639 you are welcome. I wish we lived close enough to visit. I think you must be a lovely person. I don’t suppose you happen to live in SC?
Susan, so sorry for your loss. Take good care of yourself 🥰
@@wendyduncan9084 That's I've so nice of you, bless you. I recently moved to Crewe in Cheshire from Euxton, Chorley Lancashire, to be closer to our son and his family, which we were planning on doing anyway. X
My three easy meals are pot roast, baked chicken and backed potatoes, and salmon with corn in the cob and asparagus. This is fun! Thank you
Hi from AZ, you look fabulous, those eyes are gorgeous!..I make red chile..my hubs fav...it is diced meat , pureed red chile from hatch new mexico, cooked over several hours at simmer...served with tortillas, pinto beans(home made also..insta pot on multi grain after bring to boil) also we grill marinated flap meat(its used in most fajita recipes)..its a sad day for us..we unexpectedly lost our Milo pup yesterday suddenly. your face always brings a smile to me..thanks
My go to meals are tacos and spaghetti. I always have leftover sauce and seasoned, cooked taco meat in the freezer. Then I just have to cook the noodles or tortillas and dinner is ready.
Favs: taco salad, egg salad, stir fry with any kind of meat. Easy and good. Off to the bedroom!!
I love the candle idea! I work from home and I light a candle every day. Easy meal for my family. Quick flat bread pizza. I use any veg in the refrigerator. Bell pepper, baked chicken, any cheese. Bake until bubbly and beautiful. In the summer I grill my pizza. My family can customize. It’s fun and easy and my family thinks it’s special. Cheers to you! 🍕🍺
I’m wearing a jewelry set that I believe is too “fancy” for daily wear. Of course, it’s not. I’m using a rose scented perfume that I have packed for traveling. I’m traveling on a river cruise which is hyggely in and of itself!
Curried chicken in insta-pot, burrito filling, white chicken chili
Three dishes for us:
1) Lasagne. Loved by my girls but also their husbands. Those men can put away some food and they always go for seconds bless them ❤️
2) Chili. Always a favorite on an autumn Sunday while watching the NFL! 🏈 #gopats!
3) Minestrone. I love your Mum’s version Diane. Have made that several times. I also follow the Magnolia Table recipe.
Thank you for this retreat! Just what I needed ❤️
Thank you for this encouraging series, Diane!
Family favorites:
1.Mississippi pot roast with rice or mashed potatoes and some green veg
2. Tacos - lots of different variety there. Tonight I’m making Cajun fish tacos with rice and beans on the side.
3. Red rice and sausage. This is a favorite for the men in my house. It is a regional dish made with sliced sausages, rice and tomatoes. Eat it with hot sauce. I serve seasonal vegetables with it. This time of year is okra. (I live in the southern US.😉)
💖💖
Girl, this is the food list for tell me you are southern without telling me. Lol. South Carolina girl right here.
@@wendyduncan9084 😘😘. It was hard to narrow it down to just 3! My teenage son says his favorite is any meal that is meat and rice. 🥰🥰. And I’m in SC Lowcountry.😉
@@jennifermason1848 I love that! We are SC sandhills. I almost put boiled peanuts as a meal since football starts this weekend. Lol
@@wendyduncan9084 😍😍. Boiled peanuts are totally legit!!
My go to meals are curried chickpeas, instant pot pulled pork and Shepard’s pie. Those are the easy meals we always seem to have on hand
Spaghetti Bolognese, chicken curry and potato salad, are my favorites. Thanks again Diane
Three go to meals are: vegetarian chili, pasta with spinach and salmon and always a frozen pizza on hand for "emergencies " 😋. Treated myself to some reading yesterday and will be using a perfume that had gotten lost in the back of a drawer 😇!
Yay, go you, Wiebke!
Hi Diane,
Thanks for your cheering motivation today. I needed it because the baby kept me busy last night, so I’m feeling a bit down and tired. But thanks to you I will go to the bedroom and do some shores over there and will see what i have to make it ‘hygge’. You looked wonderful and I love the necklace of your grandmother.
Family favorites
- wraps with chicken, corn and kidney beans seasoned with cajun seasoning . And put some cheese on it and put it in the oven for approx 10 minutes.
- surinam style bami (english is as you see not my first language - hope google can help you with the recipe, otherwise i have one in dutch for you, which i can try to translate)
- spätzle and ‘geschnetzles’ - brings us back to our honeymoon and the kids love it as well.
- And okay another one: ‘kapsalon’ - it’s a recipe of a hairdresser in Rotterdam who ordered this meal at a restaurant. Hairdresser in dutch is ‘kapsalon’ and that’s why the dish is named like that. Take some shawarma (i like the chicken shawarma but take the one you like), but baked fries ON it, add cheese on the top, but it the oven ‘till the cheese melted, add lettuces ON it (yes, i know it sound insane), and add garlic sause on the top. Eat it all together. It isn’t the most healthy choice but once in a while doesn’t really matters 😉
See you tomorrow
Hi, Diane, yes for a glamorous sparkling feeling on a normal Tuesday 💃🏼! Feeling one point better already… My 3 dishes are: eggplants stuffed with tomatoes and onions, warm Spanish potato salad and chili sin carne … make us happy every time and if you wake me up in the night, I can start without thinking. Love and thanks, sparkling Monika💎❣
Mmmmm… Imam Baldi (stuffed eggplant) with feta is one of my favorites! I’ve never heard of warm Spanish potato salad, but now I need to find a recipe!
@@username00009 hi, yes, right: Imam Bayildi, it’s a recipe from a Turkish restaurant owner! It’s wonderful with feta cheese and today I added chick peas, so tasty! Warm Spanish potato salad is a recipe from my Spanish stepfather Pepe: boil in ONE pot small potatoes, carrots in big pieces, green beans and eggs in water, put eggs out and peel after 10 minutes. After 10-15 minutes more, when veggies are done, pour off the water (use it for a soup with leftover veggies the next day), put in bowls , add eggs, cut in half and pour over vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper after taste, parsley, if you like. Ready. Enjoy❣Greetings❣
You look glamourous for sure. Love the gold necklace. My easy go-to meals are spaghetti, tacos, and baked chicken with rice pilaf. These are not my favorite foods, but easy to make without a fuss or recipe. I like to clean my house on the day after my grandkids come over because they leave such a mess on the floors. I make the Flylady schedule to fit my life.
Oh and for today I used the flat iron on my hair and added a swoosh of my fav perfume, Dolce Gabana “ The One”.
Our favorite meals: chicken pot pie (I always ‘decorate’ the top crust to add some fun. I might actually cut a name into the crust, or a shape-heart, tree. I just have fun with it. I also make a simple chicken cobbler. Like the pot pie, this is a recipe that is so easy and delicious it is a great dish to share with someone who needs some help. Lastly, for a treat with coffee or tea, I make a whole wheat pumpkin banana bread. I try to keep an extra loaf in the freezer so I can share.
Happy Tuesday Diane 💕 I did notice your make up was looking extra lovely before you even mentioned that you’d upped the glam a bit today. 💄 Family favourites are a shepherds pie and cauliflower and broccoli cheese, I always add extra grated cheese on top so it’s got a lovely crispy topping. With those I make an extra large dish so there’s a second meal to go in the freezer for a home made ready meal. My final favourite is anything we have on a Fridays because it’s when hubby cooks 😄 which is always something and chips/fries. Thank you always for the inspiration and motivation, love from Kent U.K. 🇬🇧💕
Thank you for today's inspiration. I chose some extra special mascara today.
Three of my favourite meals are
1. Rainbow Quiche - love the name and the colours. It's packed with vegetables and topped with lovely cheddar
2. Lasagne - the one with our homemade pasta
3. Full monty salad - loads of leafy greens, fresh herbs, cucumber, capsicum, tomatoes, kidney beans, sweetcorn, feta cheese, hard boiled eggs and a homemade dressing. Best with flatbread straight out of a pan
What fun names for your dishes, Michelle!
Are you vegetarian?
@@RobinHarris61 nope. I just try to get as many veggies in as possible. I sometimes incorporate meat such as poultry in my salad

Ooooo, I love all of those, Clare!
What a fun way to kept moving along. Last night, sirloin tips in crockpot and tonight, leftover meat in tacos. In the middle of a heat wave, so sandwiches for the next few days. I love adding sliced crispy apples to my sandwiches for some crunch.🍎
Wow thank you for your gorgeous personality…you looked so very glam today with that lippy colour. You have many personality traits of your grandma. Today in my bedroom I cleaned a large window I love look out of a lot which frames an enormous Angophera Costicata tree which was humming with wildlife. Kookaburras, Rainbow Lorikeets, Sulpher Crested Cockatoo…Matilda my favourite songstress Magpie. I saw every feather glistening now the window is clean! 1) Japanese theme (I used to live a work in Japan). I get out our chopsticks and some of my favourite ceramic little dishes and bowls. as dishes are served separately like this in Japan. Salmon (marinated in ginger and garlic and light soya sauce and kecap manis, an Indonesian sweet soy sauce zested kumquat and adding juice to the marinade just before cooking), served with a “bowl ball” (nice presentation) of steamed rice with roasted sesame seed topping, served with a bowl of miso soup and Chawanmushi (茶碗蒸し, chawanmushi, literally "tea cup steam" or "steamed in a tea bowl") is an egg custard dish in Japanese cuisine.Unlike many other custards, it is usually eaten as a dish in a meal, as chawanmushi contains savory rather than sweet ingredients. The custard consists of an egg mixture flavored with soy sauce, dashi, and mirin, with numerous ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, kamaboko, yuri-ne (lily root), ginkgo and boiled shrimp placed into a tea-cup-like container. The recipe for the dish is similar to that of Chinese steamed eggs, but the toppings often differ. Since egg custards cannot be picked up by chopsticks, it is one of the few Japanese dishes that is eaten with a spoon.
2)Mushroom Leek and roasted pumpkin quiche with Greek style salad.
3)Gado Gado Which is an Indonesian salad with a super tasty peanut sauce. www.theguardian.com/food/2022/may/25/how-to-make-the-perfect-gado-gado-indonesias-super-salad-recipe
Thank you for the Virtual Retreat. It feels like a breath of fresh air to follow along with you daily. Three quick meals- 1. Pasta with squash and onions. 2. Stir fry veggies over rice or noodles. 3. Salad with roasted veggies and protein of your choice.
thanks Diane. I was so looking forward to today. It seems simple - but it is so inspiring!
My three easy, summer go-to meals: roasted veggie and refried bean fajitas (with avocado & sour cream), sweet corn on the cob and BLTs (veggie and real bacon), some kind of pasta salad with lots of veggies, and sometimes shrimp or chicken added (which we can eat for a couple days).
I have been having lots of trouble sleeping well lately (some major anxiety issues), so spending a few minutes to create a more calm and welcoming space feels very inviting. I'll probably add a candle or diffuser and flowers - move a fern up there for purifying the air!
have a wonderful day all!
Your eyes was the first I've noticed when the video started-so when yo we're speaking about the make-up, it all made sense-and you look great and even more energetic than usual!
My favorite dishes are pizza, plain Margherita, pasta with zucchini, and pumpkin/zucchini flowers fried in mixture very similar to the pancake one:) But I love to eat lots of other things! Going to treat myself today to something tasty as my "self-care" mission! Hear you tomorrow! Ra Ra Ra to all this great community!:)
Oh... today was a fun one!
Three favorite meals... 🤔 our favorite meals change periodically, I have a lot of type 1 in my house and we get super bored of the same meals too regularly. 3 we like right now are: meatloaf in a large pan (so its thinner) topped with mashed potatoes once its all done; tacos (of various kinds) with beans, pico de gallo, and crumble cheese; and pork roast cooked with black beans 🫘 😊
💖 Loving this so much - thank you! 🧚🏼♀️
My 3 favourite/go-to dishes are:
1. Sausage Pasta 🍝
- snip sausages into chunks, stir-fry them until they’re browned with olive oil, garlic and onions, salt + pepper, add basil, Balsamic vinegar, chopped up peppers and tinned tomatoes, and simmer for about 5/10 mins! Stir your cooked pasta in and serve up! 😋
2. Cottage pie 🥧
3. Chilli flaked salmon + mixed salad! 🌶🥗
🧚🏼♀️ Off to add some Hygge ✨ to our bedroom, and then paint my nails 💅🏼 before launching into the rest of the day’s tasks! 😅 thanks again! X
Thank you so much for this!! These videos bring such a lift to my day. My 3 go-to family fave dishes: 1. chicken tortilla soup 2. chicken paprikash 3. kahlua pulled pork.
favorite meals...Taco Tuesday, Italian pasta, crock pot beef stew :) Loving this retreat week!
Love reading all these meal ideas! Our favorite meals include: rotini pasta salad with feta cheese, tomatoes, and olives, summer (yellow) squash and baked chicken, fish and fries. Did you mention your favorite meals?
My family 3 dinners which they all like is. (1) Shepherd's Pie with toasted garlic bread, (2) Sausages and vegetable casserole with pasta, (3) Aubergine/potatoes/peas Curry with Rice. I do this all the times,.
Country vegetable stew, spaghetti and salad, chicken, sausage, rice stir fry.
Another great video. I've had a busy day so I'm just getting to my 10 minutes in the bedroom, but I'm getting ready to give everything a good dusting. I know it will feel good to accomplish that. My family's three favorite meals are: (1) rosemary chicken, (2) herb pork chops; and (3) spaghetti with meat sauce. The last is pure comfort food for me. My mother used to make it all the time and it takes me back to my childhood. Thank you for the positivity and motivation you give us. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for today! Your inspiration is working. My favourite dishes I make often is:
Salmon with broccoli mash
Chicken and creamed mushrooms served in a butternut half.
Pork in a cream sauce with mashed potatoes served with avocado salad.
Love this little series. My three favorite meals would be pizza, (because my son likes to make it and I don't have to cook!) Fritata, (uses up eggs from our chickens), and Taco soup.
Love your enthusiasm ❤️
Roast Leg of Lamb with baked vegetables. Yum. A family favourite and I can do it blindfolded.
I gen prefer one meal dishes to cook. My three dishes are: Caramel pudding, bread pizza and scrambled eggs!
You can never go wrong with scrambled eggs, yum!
Hey Diane! It’s only day 2 and I am loving it - you are so much fun and such an inspiration! Ok so 3 meals: chicken divan, spaghetti with meat sauce and sheet pan steak or chicken fajitas. Since it’s Plan and Play day, I’m planning my menu, checking over my budget and going to lunch with a friend. I’m even going to wear make up and jewelry which I rarely do! I have my late mother’s jewelry so I’ll try to find something to use. She was a T4 (although she’d never heard of DYT) so most of her stuff is a bit bold and formal for me. I’m a T1/2. Thanks for that idea though. Btw, you do look very glamorous in a T1 kind of way! Thanks for all you do!! Looking forward to tomorrow!
My 3 meals are BLT, Spaghetti and meatloaf
We frequently do BLTs also
Thanks for doing this Diane! Truly appreciate it ❣️ love this new series. Can't wait for the results. Added some dried flowers that I had in the kitchen to my bedroom and wearing my pearls and my summer body mist.
Diane, you look fantastic! I love the sweater and the gold bobble necklace! So cute. I went into my heirlooms and spent a little too much time loving my grandparents and great-grandmother. 😁 Wearing a wind-up clock necklace from the 1940's!
Not favorite meals, but my family cannot have gluten, dairy or eggs which is everything! So...
1. Oven-baked chicken thighs, brown rice and a green leafy salad.
2. Black-eyed peas and collard greens with wild rice.
3. Taco-shepherd's pie 😋which is pretty much ground meat, non-dairy cheese, vegetables in a good sauce with a thick cornbread topping baked in a cast iron skillet. It's a favorite!
Turkey Stroganoff: I put 1 bag of egg noodles in the instant pot, add 1 container of beef bone broth and add water to the bone broth container and pour in more until it seems wet enough. I'm able to see the water but it doesn't cover all the noodles. Then I chop up a raw onion into slices and put it on top and throw in a pound of pre-cooked frozen ground turkey (85% fat that I drain) on top. I close the lid and choose high pressure for 6 minutes. Then I quick release and add paprika, a few squeezes of garlic from a tube, and sour cream (I don't measure, I just know when it's creamy enough). Cook until the spices have blended their flavors and the sour cream is warm. So easy and a family favorite! Pre cooking the turkey, draining and freezing it in 1 lb zip lock bags has been life changing. I use the same method for chili, dumping the frozen meat on top of the beans, tomato sauce and seasonings (stirring them in before cooking). Chili takes 10 minutes. The Instant Pot in general has been life changing!
If you want vegan chili, just don't add the frozen vegan ground meat before cooking, stir it in after quick releasing the beans and cook on Saute mode for the amount of time recommended on the bag. I always add extra water because the vegan fake meat absorbs the liquid. I also add zucchini cut into 1 inch rings and quartered when I make the vegan version, or just if I have a lot of zucchini. I leave the skin on the zucchini so it doesn't get too mushy during the high pressure time.
Today I wear matching earings green as my printed dress(each month I buy me some very cheap earings on Aliexpress 5€max😊..with that I can match my earrings with my outfit..and i receive each month a new tiny gift in my mailbox🤣)
My 3 fav meals:
-chili con carne(easy to freeze)
-home made pizza every saturday night+soup or salad
-Pad thai or stir fry Noodles
I do hairy dieter cottage pie, we also love fish (salmon/cod) spread with whole grain mustard topped with breadcrumbs, lemon zest, olive oil. A new family favourite is jason vales fish sandwich with sweet potato wedges 😊
I usually do Int. Fasting so I have black coffee and then a meal at 11 or so. sometimes it is breakfast, sometime we have a lunch type of meal. I always think of what we will have for our second meal at 5. I often make most of the meal early so, it will be easy to complete and serve. If a person does not know what they are cooking a dinner, one could slip into a bad habit of ordering or going out. Bless you.
The three meals that came to mind were Tuscan Chicken, BBQ Chicken and Sloppy Joe's (a healthier version for the most part). So I will make sure to get ingredients for those meals next week. Again, these videos are super helpful.
gazpacho ( all you need is a blender!) w bread and cheese, sauted salmon and ginger cole slaw, mixed salad w grilled chicken
Good morning from the USA (Indiana)! I put on my favorite comfy dress today (yellow with white polka dots 😍) and a bit more makeup. I’m about to have a cozy read and then add some flowers to my bedroom before getting to my regular zone cleaning for today.
Some favorite meals:
1. In the summer, my favorite is grilled chicken thighs with charred corn and squash. Grill chicken thighs and then set in a casserole dish that has a light sauce of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and green onions. While the chicken rests, grill corn on the cob and sliced squash (zucchini/yellow, etc). Place spinach and grated parmigiana on a platter and then layer with the veggies and chicken. Lace on the extra lemon-garlic sauce. 😋
2. In the fall and winter, Potato-Leek Soup: you can Google lots of good recipes. Mine has a bit of ham and lots potatoes and cream. We serve it with a crusty bread, and it’s the perfect cold-weather meal. ☺️
3. Anytime: sour cream chicken enchiladas! I grew up in the Southwest US, and so I love Tex-Mex food. 💛
Oops! Sorry about the typos! 😂
I love Buddha bowls, curry dishes and spaghetti
Our three favorite meals are eggplant parmesian, vegetable soup and salad with rotisserie chicken.
Scheduled a haircut for myself for tomorrow. Going to an Aveda school (usually just go to an inexpensive place once or twice a year). I'm so excited! Three favorite meals to plan: plate tacos (easy and something the whole family will eat), Thai soup (delicious and comforting), and anything I can throw in the slow cooker in the morning!
I always say your intro with you... “Diane in Denmark here! Rah! Rah! Rah!”☺️ You also gave me a giggle when you said spray yourself some perfume not the cleaning spray!😂
My top 3 favorite are Carbonara, pancit and salmon with some veggies on the side😁
Love this! My three dishes. Spinach lasagna, blt salad, homemade grilled cheese n tomato soup. I make the bread use my frozen cheese and make my tomato soup from scratch. It's easy with the vegetables from the garden now.
Your are so refreshing ❤️. I'm feeling ready to go today. The dressing part was hard but I did it! I got my hair cut short, short yesterday and love it!! I even took time and put on face mask. My skin hasn't felt this soft forever. Your a blessing. I'm off and running today.
Love it all and you are making me hungry! LOL!
Our favorite three meals: slow cooked pot roast, Everything But the Bagel chicken thighs, Low Carb Cheeseburger casserole.

Loving this retreat as a jump start in September! Our family is vegan, so we grow a big garden to help with grocery prices. So we eat whatever is harvested. Our three go to meals are rice and roasted veggies, ratatouille with all the garden veg, and vegan bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches with steamed green beans and onions! Can't wait to see tomorrow's missions!

The make up looks very nice Diane! I am picking out jewellery that I haven’t worn in a while to flash up my outfits. A potato and leek soup is a fave, Butter chicken and a curried potato dish.
Yum! 😍
thank you Diane! you do look beautiful today! I love lasagna, spaghetti and tacos
i'm loving this retreat, Diane! Three of my go-to dishes are lasagne, Chicken Divan, and Sole Meuniere. Since it's so hot here in southern California this week, I'll be making Louie salad with crab and shrimp--a no-cook meal that's great with a glass of chilled white wine! 😉
Our Favorite meals, Tyler’s ultimate chicken enchiladas, Lasagna, Roast Lamb and Veggies.
liked this idea....only am in office right now!
I recommend to my clients that they keep pamper items in an office drawer, great for a quick "pick me up" during the day! 😀
My favorite meals to make Chicken and Lime Soup from Budget Bytes (easily doubled and it freezes very well for future meals!), Oyakodon (a rice bowl with chicken and egg), and Toasted sandwiches
Now I am going to have to google Oyakodon - thank you, Sophie! 😍
Can't wait to make the Chicken and Lime soup! Thank you!
I was excited to get up this morning to watch your video. Of course I had to wait until I completed my Morning Routine. 3 go-to- meals: Baked Parmesan Chicken with Caesar salad, A Mississippi Roast Beef in the slow cooker, and Tuscan Salmon with spinach and cherry tomatoes 🍅.
I did make arrangements with a friend to have lunch and do a little shopping
This is helping me so much. Thank you, Diane! My three dishes are Spaghetti Bolognese, Chickensoup and oven-baked mixed veggies
Hi ! My 3 - French toast w/bacon for dinner, tuna melts, and ground beef tacos
Quiches with whatever is available! Same veg casseroles, lasagnes. Varies greatly by veg and cheeses on hand.
Your makeup looks great! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Quick, easy meals I enjoy are fish 'n' chips (usually ready made, just bung in the oven) with peas and carrots; jacket potatoes - although not quick, can be left to get on with cooking themselves while I do other things; stir frying - so very quick to cook and only one pan to wash up afterwards! Enjoying this (re) treat, Diane, thanks for the motivation xx
10 mins in bedroom - tidy and de-clutter resulted in uncovering a crocheted granny square cardigan I started before the first heatwave so:-
10 mins pamper - continued sewing together my granny square cardigan whilst enjoying some greengages and some blackberries from my garden
tomorrows clothes hanging on bedroom door, jewellery selected
Plan & Play - contacted some friends and set up a D&D session on Saturday. Looking forward to that.
3 family favourite meals - braised chicken with 'dead' potatoes, steamed veg and onion gravy; cajun-spiced chicken rice and peas; baked layered potato salad with grated veggies and cheese.
Did meal planning and shopping for a 5 day camping/fishing trip starting today, yahoo.
