Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 101
Hey everyone!
How is your weekend so far? Our days have been full of rain, thunder, and some lightning. Lucky for me, I enjoy staying inside. It helps me reach the productive side of myself.
What is the weather like where you are? Since I’ve spent most of my time indoors, away from the storm, I have been experimenting with recipes. I was recently gifted two new cookbooks for Christmas and decided to dive in and try some recipes.
Turns out I haven’t left the kitchen since. I have been reading recipes, cooking, and even trying to recreate some of them in my way! It’s been a journey.
By saying that, today, I am showing you a bunch of the new recipes, I have created. I hope you enjoy it!
Personal Note from Janine
This week, I made the yummiest dinners.
Don’t you love it when your meals are better than a meal out at a restaurant?
We love to cook, and over the years, we have enjoyed making a gourmet dinners.
So you’re probably wondering what we had for dinner.
Well, I made a delicious and healthy Eggplant Parmesan from Weight Watchers. It is a time-consuming dinner to make since you must allow the water to drain from the eggplant. But all the prep was worth it, and one serving was four Weight Watcher points.
Then I made a bunch of recipes from Half Baked Harvest. I make salmon a lot, and I needed a new way to make it. Tieghan’s Blackened Salmon Skewers fit the bill and are seasoned to perfection!
I wanted to link to the recipe, but you can only find it in her awesome cookbook.
I hope this issue of Saturday Chitchat inspires you in the kitchen this weekend!
So grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let’s hang out for a bit.
Happy Saturday!

This Week’s Tip – Grocery Shopping Online
Online Grocery Shopping
During the Pandemic, I was cooking and baking 24/7. And I noticed that writing out a menu for the week was essential. Not only was I more organized, but it meant my grocery shopping was more efficient.
In addition to creating a menu for dinner recipes, I bought groceries online through Amazon. I save so much time ordering my groceries. I have my recipes right near my computer, and I order all the ingredients quickly.
Also, Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh have your past orders available, so you can scan for your regular groceries in case you missed something.
And btw, I order my groceries in like 15 minutes compared to an hour plus of driving to the store and physically shopping and paying for them.
Hello, everyone!
