Sorry I missed the Wined Down last week- it was the Atlanta United home opener, and we were down at the stadium to tailgate a bit before the match. I ran out of time!

But back at it this week. We actually have another match tonight, but it as 7 so more time today to do things like clean the kitchen, clean the cats’ litter box room, and clean the spare room. And I walked about 2.5 miles around my neighborhood- it’s a really nice here today after several days of rain, so I took advantage of being in the sun a bit. I don’t even have wine open right now- its Coke Zero right now.

So! What’s been going on? Well, Stephanie and I made two dishes that are winners for the lunch rotation. The first is Vegan and Gluten free (neither of which we are, we just like a variety of foods). Here it is- General Tso’s Chickpeas. This will definitely make it into the rotation, and if you’re a meat eater, the sauce should work for chicken, beef, etc.

The other we made was this one. A low-carb skillet, Keto friendly meal. Neither of us are doing Keto, but I tend to look for recipes using protein and veggies. I have to say, I didn’t add a huge amount of cheese to this one. You don’t need it- the flavor is great without it. I look forward to making this one again.

Cooking last week turned into a lot of fun- a couple of other friends ended up coming by and we turned it into a low-key friends day. Stephanie’s husband joined us later in the evening and we played a fun round of Cards Against Humanity. As wrong as that game is, I always laugh a lot when we play. And an impromptu day with friends that is filled with laughter and no drama (and a few adult beverages) and dogs playing is always a good thing.

I’m starting Spark of Light this week. My book club will be discussing it on March 25, so it will be fresh in my mind. And speaking of reading, it’s been a hectic few weeks at work, and I’ve been working a lot of long hours, so reading has been slow going. With the MLS season starting again this month, even my no-TV Sundays haven’t yielded much time to read. I’m anxious to get back to it.

I guess that’s it for this week. Things going on, so no cooking this week. But maybe I’ll have a few good “overheards” for you.
