What's for Dinner? - 3/17/26, Tues

Mish-Mash

Disclaimer: This is actually a stock photo, because I was 3/4 of the way through my chicken, before I thought about taking a photo. 😇

I fully intended to cook a corned beef hash for dinner. We had eaten almost all the corned beef last night, so I bought a can of corned beef. But when I got home my neighbor let me know that he had grilled a bunch of chicken thighs and I was welcome to join them. So that's what I grabbed for our main course. Then I did heat up the leftover carrots and brussel sprouts as a side. The potatoes and onions that are left I think I will turn into a corned beef hash, and freeze it for maybe this weekend.

What's for Dinner? - 3/15/26, Sun.

Artichokes Since my parents have been getting older, it's been my goal to see them every other weekend, when my sister drives up. This morning I joined my BF for breakfast, and he made steak & eggs. When I got back to my parent's house, we were working on a sorting project of eBay clothes. So we did a McDonald's run. Then my younger daughter and I got home about 5:00, and I wanted a super simple dinner. So girl dinner it was, since tonight is a school night. The artichokes I got at Grocery Outlet, and I think they were 3 for $4. Then I also pulled out a tray of spamacopia from the freezer. That was free, because my mom bought an extra box of it from Costco. 😇

Corned Beef & Cabbage Tonight, I'm at my mom's house, which means my sister cooked. 😇 I'm actually not a fan of cooked cabbage. But my sister for a small package of brussel sprouts that needed to be used up. So the question if the century, is what do you put on your corned beef? We are team ketchup here.

Introduction

Welcome to Shop Smart, Eat Smart - my little corner of the internet where I share exactly what I make for dinner each night. Nothing fancy, nothing staged, just real meals from a real kitchen. I post one photo and a short note every evening, building a cozy record of everyday cooking and the rhythms of home. Some nights it's a full recipe, some nights it's leftovers, and some nights it's whatever I can pull together after a long day. It's honest, simple, and meant to feel like you're flipping through a warm, well-loved kitchen journal. If you're here for inspiration, comfort, or just to see what someone else is actually eating in real life, you're in the right place. Pull up a char - dinner's ready.
