So, first, I made this really good bagel with smoked salmon! When we were in Ohio, I searched countless times for lox or smoked salmon. The only salmon I ever found was a frozen bag of filets! I looked for it another time at the commissary and couldn't find it, but did the other day! I was so excited! I wish they had lox, but they didn't. I like smoked salmon sliced pretty thin, so this was slightly thick for me, but still very good!
I bought mini whole wheat bagels the other day. The reason being that I usually don't wat a whole bagel, and a pack of 12 mini bagels was cheaper than a bag of 6 big ones, and only 100 calories per bagel, but I still usually only eat a half of one. I still had the chive and onion cream cheese from the creamed corn cassarole I made a couple of weeks ago, so I used that (I really like vegetable cream cheese better, to be honest, but I already had this, might as well use it up.), and topped it with a few super thin slices of red onion and a tablespoon of capers. It was so good! The best part was that, besides the salmon, I already had everything on hand, so I didn't have to buy much! :)
The snack I made for my handsome that afternoon came from his indecisiveness while standing in the fridge. He had just asked me for cheerios, then apples, then Fruity Pebbles (Hubbs didn't eat them all before he deployed!), followed by yogurt and strawberries. So, I just combined it all!
What I did was slice a small strawberry and mixed it into about half of a container of mixed berry yogurt and put that in the bottom of the bowl. I then sliced an apple and coresly chopped some cheerios, and topped it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, honey, and a pinch of Fruity Pebbles. He really liked it, he hoarked it down!! I will be cooking tonight. I need still to work out our menu for until the next pay, and I have a feeling it will be mostly soups, sandwiches, and maybe a chili. The only good thing about Hubs being gone is I can make myself things I like but that he doesn't. He really isn't picky, but he doesn't like soups, chilis, and warm tuna, unless it's a tuna steak just seared on the outside, but still cool and rare in the middle. I don't absolutely love those foods, so it doesn't really make his deployment any better, but, it's a way to try to put a positive spin on deployment!!
