[bestofour]

Pot pie!!!! Oh boy.

[Jessica]

We are having mexican lasagna and peach crunch cake for dessert.

[Dianna]

Jessica, we need recipes...

This is excellent.  I halved the recipe and it still makes enough to feed 10 people.  It filled a 9 x 13 pan plump full.  It is good but we will be eating it for days.  Next time I might make 1/3 of the recipe and put it in an 8 x 8.

This is about to come out of the oven so I can't tell you yet how it tastes but this is the easiest dessert I have ever made.  The only thing that would make it easier is if I bought it at the store.  No joke.  Simple!!

[Dianna]

I sure don't need it to serve 20 people, but it does sound really good. Hmm. Could invite a crowd over and cook it...

Let me know how the peach cake tastes. I love peaches...

Thank you, Jessica...

[bestofour]

that cake looks delicious.

[Jessica]

The cake was fantastic!! We had it with some vanilla ice cream.

Like I said, Dianna, I cut the recipe in half but could have cut it down more.  We have lots of leftovers!! It doesn't help that Tristen wouldn't touch it.

[Dianna]

Thanks for the reviews, Jessica. Sounds like it might be something I would like to try...

[Tina]

I love peach dump cake. They are so easy to do.

[Penny]

Tonight is chicken, with noodles and veggies.

I love peach dump cake. They are so easy to do.

Seriously, the easiest dessert I have ever made.  I need to stop making desserts.  It is doing nothing for my waistline.

[Penny]

  Is there any dessert that is good for our waistline   

[Jessica]

  I wish there was.

[bestofour]

pinto beans and grilled cheese sandwiches for us tonight.

I think I'm over this cooking spell for a while.  I've cooked several days in a row and I've had it for a while.

[Tina]

Sheri, I do not cook every day. I cook big over a weekend or something to eat for the next few day or for the freezer for the next couple of weeks.
Tonight I have no idea what I will have but it will probably end up being either a stuffed baked potato or stuffed  pepper both from the freezer.

[Jessica]

We are having some leftovers.  I might make cauliflower soup so that we can eat off of it this week.  Sheri, I don't cook every day either.  I make a big meal and we eat off of it for at least 2 days.  I probably make 4 different meals a week...give or take.

Shells stuffed with homemade cheeses, homegrown tomatoes made into a sauce, salad, crusty bread...and a pavlova for dessert.

Yum!  Did you make the cheeses?

[Tina]

And what do you put on your pavlova, Sarah? I love them covered in berries or kiwi fruit or something.

[barleychown]

I did make the cheeses...mozzarella and ricotta. I had extra milk from last week that needed used up.

Tina, this is my first pavlova...I'm going to do lemon curd and marionberries from my freezer.

[Triss]

Oh yum!  Not sure what we are having tonight... kinda getting late and I need to decide.

[Tina]

I can only do pavlova when my tummy tells me it is Ok to do so. Egg whites even in a dessert can be an iffy thing. Pavlova is the national dessert of New Zealand so I have had it there a few times. And It is in my cookbooks too.

[Jessica]

I have never made cheese.  Interesting.

[sunsoaker]

I think I am skipping dinner tonight as my tummy seems to be upset for some reason. It's ok though, I'm not hungry. lol

[barleychown]

I had never even heard of pavlova until I saw one on food gawker. Thankfully eggs and I get along well.

It's super easy to make ricotta. even with store bought milk. 

Barb, I hope you feel better soon!
