Whole Wheat chicken fingers

 



Costco sells this huge box of whole wheat chicken fingers.  Husband M said a lot of people were buying them when he went there, they were on sale.  We decided to try them.  They are convenient and you can't go wrong with chicken fingers can you?

And yes they are good with a crunchy whole wheat texture.

 It is the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend!

Hope your Thanksgiving Day is filled with laughter, joy, and delicious delights!

all crumbled and ready to store
It is that time of year again,  I dried some tarragon and basil a few weeks ago.  The tarragon pictured above keeps its green colour.

Here is a post from last year where I dried the tarragon.  This is a great video that shows you how to do it.

Sunday Smiles and SITAR - Craft Picture Frames

 


Couldn't resist this one for Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend!  





My friend S got these wooden craft picture frames for free and asked me to paint one for her and keep the other 2.  So this is the one I made for her.  No telling when I will get the other 2 done.

Anniversary Cake and Yam Leaves

 


Daughter L made this chocolate/coffee cake for husband M and my 38th wedding anniversary which we celebrated October 8th. She said she put a lot of sour cream in it, maybe that's why it was so moist and delicious. I had 2 slices.




My sister gave me these yam leaves from her garden and a recipe.  I prefer spinach, but a healthy green nonetheless. It had a slimy taste.

Egg White Frittata

 


Daughter L had a box of egg whites expiring within the week so I used it to make a frittata.  I added fresh rosemary, cheese and mushrooms.  A 500g (2 1/2cups) box of egg whites is equivalent to about 24 eggs, so each slice above is about 3 eggs.  It was good.

It is husband M's and my 38th wedding anniversary today.
