Food! :giggle:
-
:giggle:
Prob breakfast for me. Some bacon and eggs sounds really good to me.
-
I had breakfast for lunch. I'm thinking leftovers for dinner. I have plenty.
-
we had pork chops in the sauce from dianna's pork chop and potato casserole (i didn't have any potatoes), beer bread, buttered noodles, and broccoli and cheese. good food :licklips:
-
I had bacon and eggs. I really don't have much else in the house at the moment, and it was good.
-
bacon and eggs are good. and since you are moving, not having a lot of groceries make sense. saturday night in the new place?
-
That's the plan.
-
Pork chops, mashed potatoes, brown flour gravy, & kraut on the side.
-
Yum.
-
Rosemary chicken, chicken-fried rice, and some pasta salad (leftover)... :licklips:
-
Where are your vegetables?
I am just slapping together mac n cheese with peas and carrots for Teddy. I do this at least 3 times a week. I am so grateful he is eating at all.
-
Bacon, eggs and a piece of texas toast (no veggies here either)
-
My veggies were the peas and corn in the fried rice. :giggle: I don't normally do two starches in one meal, but the pasta salad was made last night, and I wanted to eat some of it... :wink5:
-
Spaghettti and salad.
-
We are having leftovers tonight... I have Lasagna and Chicken Alfredo already in the fridge and not cooking again till they are gone...Plus I wont have to fuss at the girls to eat dinner with them on the table... they love both of them and would eat them all the time if I cooked more often..
-
I am making oven-fried chicken for supper tonight. Sure hope it tastes good. I am so tired of not knowing how to make good chicken... ::)
-
You mean I have to make dinner?
-
Yes, Tina. Dinner/supper still has to be made... :giggle:
The oven-fried chicken was passable, but could have been better. At least it wasn't too tough to eat. :wink5: Jim wants to carry the soup leftovers for lunch tomorrow, so I guess he wasn't too thrilled with it... ::)
-
I reheated a burger I made yesterday and had a hamburger with all the trimmings (lettuce, tom, onion, etc)
-
That sounds good, Barb. I love leftover hamburgers... :licklips:
-
I reheated a burger I made yesterday and had a hamburger with all the trimmings (lettuce, tom, onion, etc)
yum... we had leftover pork in gravy from the crock pot. i put chops in the crock with cream of mushroom soup yesterday. scott ate his over rice. it was passable. but i've had better.
-
I reheated leftovers and got some things out of my fridge.
-
We had the crock pot pork chops with mushroom soup last week, Jennifer... :grinnnn:
We will be having Hamburger Helper tonight. Tomorrow night I will be going grocery shopping. I won't be able to put it off any longer... :giggle:
-
Burgers on the bbq tonight.
-
i had seafood lasagna at the dinner. scott had subway because he went to call baseball instead of going to the dinner.
-
steaks on the BBQ, way to hot to cook inside!
-
summer squash, potatoes, and grilled pork chops.
-
We had Cracker Barrel last night. I wonder what we are having tonight since we will have the girls with us... :ScratchHead:
-
Pork steak, green beans, and potatoes with onions. Sure was good... :licklips:
-
For a change, I made a good dinner tonight. We had steamed mixed veggies, long grain and wild rice, and Smokey Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken. (http://jamiecooksitup.blogspot.com/2011/08/smokey-cream-cheese-stuffed-chicken.html) It was really quite tasty
-
Tonight is a 4 onion stew. All cooking together in the crockpot except the green onions I will add later.
-
I'm doing something I haven't done in years - frying chicken. I got skinless, boneless which I didn't mean to get boneless. Oh well.
-
That four onion stew sounds interesting, Tina. How do you make it? :grinnnn:
Chicken pot pie tonight with green limas... :licklips:
-
Salmon patties, corn, and loaded mashed baked taters... :licklips:
Tina, I am wondering if you are going to post your tater popper recipe? :BigGrin:
-
I will post if it works, Dianna. I am copying something that we love that comes out of our local taco place. But those are darned expensive for what you get.
Tonight I pulled pulled pork out of my freezer. I reheated with bbq sauce and have buns at the ready. Then cheddar potato poppers and broccoli.
-
Did your recipe work, Tina? :BigGrin:
I went to the Thai House to pick us up some pork fried rice and chicken wings for supper... :licklips:
-
It worked except I need to use sharp cheddar next time. The mild got buried inside there and disappeared.
-
Engagement chicken is whats for dinner here
-
I had to look that up. Sounds yummy.
I haven't decided on dinner. May just be a sammich. I don't have much energy to cook. lol
-
Very! Trying a new version of the recipe tonight! Will post if I like this version. If not will post the other lol So far it smells sooo good :)
-
Guess you must not have liked the recipe, Ariel. I don't see any new recipes... :dunno:
We are having chili cheese dogs tonight. It is fast, easy, and we haven't had them for awhile... :licklips:
-
I had planned grilled cheese but Ted got out the makings for mac n cheese so I went with the flow.
-
I made sghetti. Got some leftovers for lunch and 1/2 the sauce is in the freezer for a later date.
-
Pot roast leftovers yummy.
-
Well I got so busy cooking for the missionaries yesterday I didn't get any of the stuffed pork lol. So today I'm having one of the steaks that were on sale when I went grocery shopping. Of course until I do the dishes I'm not cooking anything lol.
-
Today I baked popovers for breakfast, lunch, and possibly, if they last that long, dinner. Dinner will also include leftover dinner from the missionaries meal. We do have fun when we get together. It's nice to cook for a foodie. One of our missionaries right now is a baker and it's great to talk to him about food and recipes.
-
leftovers. i made crustless chicken pot pie last night and we still have enough for tonight and another meal or two. but i will freeze what we don't eat tonight.
-
We had leftovers, too. Ham, corn, collards from Megan's, and leftover potato salad. Sure was yummy... :licklips:
-
The ham is becoming Congressional Bean Soup. And I believe I have some jiffy corn muffin mix around here somewhere and there is some leftover macaroni salad in the fridge. That should tide me over for today. I love it when cooking stand double duty and helps to heat the house.
-
I fried some chicken thighs today and roasted some veges. I started to buy a whole chicken since I heard Martha Stewart say she's never bought "just" chicken parts but I was still going to cheat and buy an already cut up chicken. I thought better of that deal though. A whole chicken is a bit cheaper (which I'm sure is why Martha buys the whole thing......NOT) but if we like thighs why buy the back and breasts and gizzard?
-
Chicken thighs are my favorite parts.
-
Stew beef and rice and a kale salad for tonight. We have enough chicken and veges left over for another dinner but because Johnny is a weirdo about leftovers I'm going to try and slip that in on him tomorrow night. I want to get to the point where I can go to the grocery store one day a week so I can use the senior citizen discount, I want to get something for being old, and if I can trick Johnny into eating leftovers I think I can do that. Since we're both weird about frozen meat I have to cook what I buy pretty quickly. Boy are we strange!!!
-
I'm making my very first pot of potato and leek soup. It says to serve it cold but I'm going to serve it hot because I froze my hands underneath the cold water when I was rinsing the leek and potatoes. They are so cold. And at 63 in the house they aren't warming up.
-
Valentine's Day Dinner
Bangers and Mash (I know not romantic but I'm having the missionaries over.)
Mandarin Orange Salad
Green Beans
Biscuits
Black Forest Tiara Cake
Orange Juice and Water
-
That sounds yummy, Tammy.
I have not decided on dinner yet. I'm actually thinking about putting together some breakfast burritos. Following my own cravings.
-
Are you making homemade biscuits?
-
it is almost 5 pm and i have not decided on dinner yet either. i know, not very romantic either. but at least i am not grumpy anymore!
-
Spaghetti. Not very romantic either but I've never been called romantic.
-
Did Johnny like it? That is the main thing.
-
London Broil tonight with mashed potatoes, gravy and corn I think.
-
Dinner? I need to plan dinner?
I am about out of my lovely leftovers so I really do need to give this some thought.
Thanks for the reminder.
-
I understand what you are saying. I had a pot of bean soup and I'm at the end of it so it's time to cook again. Hopefully the london broil will last me several days. Although, I love it so much that's probably a generous estimate.
-
Did Johnny like it? That is the main thing.
If you're asking if Johnny liked the spaghetti the answer is no he did not. He ate it but when he was finished he asked what I had done differently because he didn't want to have to eat it again. What I had done differently was to use a store bought jar of marinara sauce and added a little browned ground beef. I loved it and ate it the next day for lunch. He likes a little sauce with his pound of browned ground beef and of course no seasoning whatsoever in his sauce so guess I won't be doing that again.
But he didn't complain about the left over rice and left over asparagus the other night.
-
Gosh duh, I can't remember the last time we had london broil. Yummy.
If it's not raining too badly I'm cooking burgers on the grill with slaw and I'll bake Johnny a sweet potato.
-
Johnny sounds like the people at church where I go. They are used to very plain food and if I do one of my special dishes for them I end up taking it all home with me. Which is why I don't even bother to go to the pot lucks anymore. I mean why bother.
-
Johnny won't even eat at church because he doesn't know what people have put in stuff. He's not very adventurous when it comes to food.
Even though it's pouring rain I fixed burgers on the grill. Yummy
-
I tucked a whole chicken in the crockpot. It was previously roasted so I ate chicken already with some veggies. If my older kids show up hungry later, there is plenty. And if not I will do something with the leftovers tomorrow.
-
so you roasted it first and then decided to crock it? I've never tried that. Bone in?
I found out tonight after many years of baking Johnny a sweet potato once in a while that he "really doesn't care for sweet potatoes." One of us has gone crazy.
-
sheri... i am pretty sure that all of us have. just some more than others... you'll have to get an independent opinion on whether it is you or johnny...
-
so funny
-
Yes, bone in. I roasted 2 a few weeks ago. I froze one and a half. We ate the second half a couple weeks ago. Today I decided to crock up the other. I will toss the skin and bones and have lovely soup makings or chicken and broth for a casserole this weekend.
I have tried to avoid freezing much cooked meat. It was hard to keep from freezer burning no matter how I wrapped it. But with the vacuum sealer, life is much better.
-
You're making me want chicken
-
Last night we had left over ham, roast, and meat loaf and Johnny liked it. I've decided he's the crazy one.
-
Maybe it was the large selection?
-
Chicken Fried Rice. I'm just not up to doing alot. Maybe I'll stop by subway.
-
Wine, crackers and cheese. Headed to a wine tasting tonight. LOL A needed dietary splurge. :beer3:
-
Cool!
Tonight will be mac n cheese with peas and carrots.
-
I am wiped out. Tonight we are ordering pizza delivered.
-

:ThumbUp: Does TJ cook at all? He could be a help there.
-
He cooks eggs and such and can do the micro. I'm not sure how well he actually "cooks" though I will be finding out. Just not until reporting is over.
-
Good thinking.
-
I've got white beans on the soak for congressional bean soup tomorrow. I know 83 is too hot to be simmering beans all day. I just couldn't resist. Really want the beans and I have the meaty ham bone all ready so I had to.
-
Doing homemade hamburgers on the BBQ tonight, and a salad.
-
Last night we had ham with grilled squash from the garden and broccoli from Mr. Rape's garden.
-
I think chicken and broccoli stir fry tonight.
-
Fresh broccoli sounds amazing!!
Tonight Adam fixed hamburgers but the grill ran out of propane. He brought them in and for the first time in his life, pan fried the burgers. Not too shabby for his first attempt either!
-
Tonight I'm making up some ribs, corn on the cob, maybe some biscuits with honey "butter", and maybe a salad.
-
Chicken wings, French fries, and cole slaw...
Compliments of Lakevue Landing... :BigGrin:
-
Lemon pepper chicken, roasted baby tators, and veggies tonight. Trying to keep the oven off now that the heat has kicked in.
-
A pasta/sausage casserole with a honeydew type melon to go with.
-
Tonight it's Salsa chicken burritos. I think it may even be Sarah's or Jessica's recipe? I do need to go get the crockpot out and get it going though.
-
Sarah, lemon pepper chicken makes me think of Everybody Loves Raymond. Have you ever watched that show. It's the only thing the wife can cook and the husband doesn't like it.
I love eating from the garden. Tonight it was squash, potatoes, roasted baby carrots, cucumbers in vinegar. And of course chicken for Johnny.
-
Tonight are homemade burgers on the BBQ and some salads.
-
I have seen it but I don't remember that being all that Debra can cook, though that sounds about right! I'm still waiting for the garden to wake up - since we had snow on May 1st - and frosts for a week after that - everything is behind schedule. Cherry tomatoes are just starting to turn.
For dinner tonight, I am thinking I will make some Asian Lettuce Wraps. Not sure what I'm going to put with it though...
-
Salmon on the grill, squash baked in the oven, cukes and tomatoes.
-
Sounds tasty, Sheri! How do you keep the salmon whole on the grill? Mine always falls to shreds out there.
-
I get the grill really hot, then turn it down to low flame and grease it with olive oil, turn it back up to high for a few seconds then put the salmon skin side up for 2 minutes then turn it over for 5 minutes or until it's done. It doesn't stick if you grease the grill after it's hot.
-
Thanks! I will have to try that next time.
Tonight we're having Siracha Shrimp Skewers with corn on the cob.
-
I never cook shrimp. Not sure why that is but if I've ever cooked it I can't remember doing it.
-
Cooking shrimp is a little difficult because it's so easy to overcook it. I won't eat it prepared in restuarants around here anymore because it's basically chewing gum by the time it makes it to the table. I like my shrimp to be ... geez, what is the texture? almost crisp I guess, not rubbery and not mush.
