What's For Dinner? November 2006

[LoriMae]

Chili dogs tonight. Not the most healthy thing but it sounds good!

Maybe chocolate cream pie for dessert.

[trekmom]

had KFC tonight:happ2:

[Lee]

hm pizza but this time I used Pilsbury crust and made it stuffed pizza by adding the Moz, cheese sticks in the crust. They liked it!

[Coll]

Leftover cabbage soup and sandwiches.

[Lizzie-boo]

I had broasted chicken from the local grocery store, with baby carrot sticks on the side.

[SanDansMom]

LoriMae, I have been craving chili dogs!

Last night we had a Sicilian pasta dish called Pasta Con Broccoli Ariminate. It has cauliflower, not broccoli, in it, and it's a one-dish meal. There's no in-between--you either love it or hate it. We love it, and generally when I make it, we eat and eat just it until it's all gone. We also had it for lunch today and dinner tonight. Tomorrow will see the end of it. It's made with onions, raisins, pine nuts, anchovies, cauliflower and elbow macaroni. Sounds horrible, I know, but it is so good. DH's brother won't touch it, but his sisters love it.

[barbszy]

We're heading "up north" to visit my great-aunt and then my parents. Should be a long day of driving.

SanDansMom, will you be posting the recipe for your pasta dish? It doesn't sound "horrible" to me!

[crowemommy]

Last night we had chicken dumplings at a school fair (dd's previous school).

The night before, dh had dinner waiting for us when we got home! He used cut up chicken, broccoli, onions and cream cheese mixed together and then made little packets with crescent roll dough. They were delicious and it was nice to come home to dinner all done!

Tonight, will probably have salmon since I have some in the freezer and that should be quick to bake.

Hope everyone is having a nice Saturday!

[Pag36]

Good morning one and all, did not get to Costco yesterday due to Gina having to work on Adam's puter sooooooo hopefully will get there today to get my glasses and wonder if ours is having the "open house" thing sounds nice.
Last nites dinner was "what ever you see in fridge you want" Steven went home after we watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy so he ate there and slept there.
Tonites meal will be a "good question" time will tell.
Happy almost Thanksgiving everyone and God bless

[SanDansMom]

Pasta Con Broccoli Ariminate

1 large onion, chopped
handful of raisins
handful (or 2) of pine nuts
2 cans anchovies
3 or 4 heads of cauliflower, cut up
1 lb. elbow macaroni
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil

While cauliflower is cooking in salted water (it seems to take a lot of salt), start onions browning in olive oil. To the onions add raisins, pine nuts, anchovies and black pepper. Be sure to break up the anchovies well. Add some of the water the cauliflower is cooking in to the onion mixture and let it continue to simmer covered until the cauliflower is tender. When cauliflower is tender, remove from water and add to onion mixture, stirring well. Continue to simmer mixture while macaroni is cooking in the water used for the cauliflower. When macaroni is done, stir in to mixture. Stir everything well, and let sit in covered pot about 10 minutes for flavors to blend. Makes enough for the Sicilian army. It will taste better the next day.

[ajrsmom]

We had pizza last night here at home.

Tonight we are having turkey. Good thing that we like turkey since Turkey day is right around the corner. Bad planning on my part but at least we can eat in a lot of different recipes.

I am using up some extra hamburger to make meatballs. They are going in the freezer for one of next week's meals.

[Caronamy]

Pizza and wings for a local place

[Shelley Kunkel]

For breakfast we had scrambled eggs with cheese & turkey bacon all wrapped up in a warm tortilla.

For lunch we had hard and soft taco's with sour cream, beans, cheese, taco meat, and black olives. Peaches on the side. Leftovers from lastnight.

Dinner will be chicken-pot-pie.
Ingredients:
2 frozen deep dish pie shells set out on the counter to defrost.

2 frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts seasoned with garlic powder, salt, pepper and all purpose seasoning(no salt, sugar or MSG added) Cooked in 450 degrees oven for a total of 60-90 minutes. After the first 30 minutes take them out one at a time and cut them in half.

Heat up 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and up to a soup can of milk.

Add 1 to 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables WITHOUT lima beans to the soup.

When the chicken is done cut it up and add it to the soup. Mix well. Pour into one deep dish pie shell. Top with the other pie shell. Add butter to the top of the pie shell.

Bake in a 450 degrees oven for 20-30 minutes.

Enjoy.

[Debbie F.]

Dh returns home tonight from a business trip to London~~he will be tired!

So I am making him one of his comfort food faves~~Parmesan Chicken over fettucine, with mini corn on the cobs and some steamed broccoli for sides.

Have a great evening!!

:happ2:

[ellenmelon]

Made Portugese Bread, Angel Cookies, and Lebuchken today. Ate most of the venison stew for lunch. Also made Mex Lasagna but only I had it. Both dds are off and running to football games, movies, and a school play tonight.

DH and I were watching the Royal Tenenbaums on tv and the Wendy's commercials got to us so I think we will have a rare night out at the fast food place. Our small splurge for making better savings this month than we thought we could.

[Bilby]

BBq pork sausages with hash browns and salad tonight, new bbq!

[trekmom]

:happ: Beef stew w/biscuits tonight-dd had it ready when I got home-of course, everyone else had already eaten but it smelled so good when I got into the house.:bgrin:

[trainlady]

I am back after being computerless for a week!!

Ellen, what is lebkuchen?

Tonight is haystacks!

Layer on your plate in order listed:
cornchips
brown rice
pinto beans
ground beef
shressed lettuce
shredded cheddar cheese
diced tomatoes
chopped onions
lotsa sour cream and salsa

Yummy!!

Tomorrow mom and dad are coming over for chicken and dumplings, carrots and cabbage. Havn't decided on something for dessert yet.

hugs, train

[Sueanne]

Pasta Con Broccoli Ariminate
lMakes enough for the Sicilian army. It will taste better the next day.
SanDansMom....Thanks for sharing this recipe. Being Sicilian will add it to my recipe collections.

Sueanne:falll:

[SanDansMom]

Oh my, Sueanne! I am so intimidated! I know you will add something and make it twice as good.

Tonight DH grilled cheeseburgers and steaks. My nephew and great-nephew were here, and they brought a peach pie. It was all great!

[barbszy]

Last night at my parents' we had roast pork, baked potatoes, green beans and fresh Italian bread. We can't get Italian bread "down here in South Jersey" as good as what you get in North Jersey. I wonder if it's a difference in the water--the basic recipe is the same everywhere! My dad showed the kids a piece of anthracite coal that he picked up while on his bike trip across PA this summer. He said they could see the coal vein exposed in the hillside. So he has about a 1 inch cube of coal as a souvenir. He also showed them some pictures from a Boy Scout camping trip he took in 1951, to the same campsite that Big DS visited a month ago. Today, I'm not yet sure what we'll have. This morning our church is having a "Bountiful Breakfast." It's pretty low cost for what promises to be a big meal, and each guest is expected to also bring a canned item for the food pantry. DH has been recruited as Chief Pancake Flipper, by his friends who are running the event. The kids and I will go there to eat. Later, DH is going someplace in PA to see "Enduro" which is kind of a demolition derby event, with our neighbor. So it will just be the kids and me for dinner.

[stellajean66]

Good Morning all,

Hope you all are enjoying a relaxing Sunday morning.

Pretty peaceful here for the moment. And deliciously COOL!!! Woke up this morning, and it was 60 degrees INSIDE my house.........WoooooooooooHooooooooooo!!! Slept like a baby!!! So glad to finally have some cool weather to enjoy and to FINALLY be able to shut OFF the airconditioner!!! I am known as the Polar Bear my our family and friends. I just LOVE this weather!!! LOL

We took our friend and his 83 year old mother to Costco yesterday. She had a blast.......she LOVED all the samples!!! I bought myself the new James Patterson book, and picked up a game for my son's Xbox 360. Put that away for him for Xmas though. And picked up some other odds and ends. Had a good day.

Today is football day here. Our Buccaneers play the Redskins today. Jeeeeeeeez, it would be nice if they could give us a win today, since we have only won 2 darn games this season!!!

We are having hot dogs and chips for lunch. Upside down meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn for dinner. And we bought another Eggnog pie from Publix. It is sooooooooooooooo good!!!

Have a great day!!!

:football:

[Debbie F.]

Yesterday, at breakfast, my dgd spotted a picture of mushrooms (she just loves mushrooms and things like broccoli, cauliflower, frozen peas, etc.) on the menu and just had to have some. So, we ordered her a sideorder of sautéed mushrooms to go along with her eggs and bacon and was she ever happy! (Gigi's can do things like that you know! (()) ) Anyway, later when we were playing she decided that I must be hungry so she went to the fridge and got out a tomato and then grabbed the bread from the counter--placed the whole tomato between 2 slices of bread and brought it to me. And yes, she is only 3 yrs old, but man~~is she ever a character! Can you imagine what it will be like at my house when Hayden can walk? I'll surely get all kinds of goodies :lol: between the two of them! I just love those grandbabies!!! :bighugs:

Tonight its Tex-Mex Salisbury steak (http://www.familycorner.com/forums/showthread.php3?t=16407), sour cream garlic mashed potatoes and okra & tomatoes.

Have a great evening everyone!!

[Sueanne]

Oh my, Sueanne! I am so intimidated! I know you will add something and make it twice as good.
SanDansMom.....Don't feel intimidated by (Me) we Italians love to cook and experiment with food.
Talked to my Sister Roseanne this morning she is making something like your recipe without the macaroni but adds cherry tomatoes, and marinated artichoke hearts in the jar.
The trick is to add the anchovies over the cauliflower when it is hot so the anchovies melt. Some people don't like to see the big pieces. If you dip the anchovies in milk cuts the sharp taste before adding to mixture.
Fun to read different ways of preparing dishes.

Last night we had Smoked Sausage Hash
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
1 bell pepper chopped
1 onion chopped
4 potatoes chopped

Saute the veggies together until almost done then add the smoked sausage till warmed through.

Tonight I used up the last of the turkey from Wednesday's church dinner, added a package of ready to eat rice, and a can of mixed veggies and called it dinner with some salt, pepper and garlic powder tossed in.

Roberta

[DeBora43]

Debbie, how old is your DGD? She sounds adorable! My GKs are coming tonight to visit.

Last night DH fixed me some steak and veggies. Tonight I am making cheeseburgers and chips. DD and the GKs are coming and since I am taking DD to the doctor in Roswell in the morning, I am making a pierogi lasagna for tomorrow so that all I have to do tomorrow is pop it in the oven.

[ajrsmom]

So sweet! When I was little, I stayed after school with my Grandma until my Mom and Dad were done working. It was my favorite place to eat! The food always tastes better at Grandma's house! ;) That is wonderful that your GD loves veggies like that! :) I used to love eating mustard and butter sandwiches at my GM's house. lol!

[ajrsmom]

DeBora, Enjoy your visit with your grandkids. I hope that things are more relaxed for you this week.



I made the turkey today. The kids had turkey, gravy and noodles, my DH had a hot turkey and gravy sandwich before he left for work and I just had a turkey and mayo sandwich.

We are gearing up for Dora's primetime show at 8:00 tonight. My DD is soooo excited.

[Shelley Kunkel]

We had leftover chicken pot-pie. Yum!Yum!

Nathanial requested chicken and dumplings for dinner tomorrow night. Tonight I'll put some of the ingredients for dough in my bread machine. In the morning I'll add the rest. I've never boiled a chicken so I'll use a can of chicken broth and a chicken bouillon cube and a soup can of water for the broth. Seasoned with pepper. When it comes to a boil I'll add balls of dough. Let it cook for 15-30 minutes. When they are done I'll add leftover chicken pieces. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes for the chicken to heat up. And enjoy with steamed broccoli.

I don't know when to add carrots and celery so I leave them out.

Monday will be a busy day for us. Field trip to make pizza at Stevi B's at 10:00am. School (yeah right), pick up Boy Scout popcorn after field trip, vet at 2:30, call orthodontist because my dh threw away Nathanial's retainer today at McDonalds, just the two of them went to lunch. An hour later Nathanial realized it was missing. So Nathanial, an employee and myself dug threw three trash cans looking for it and didn't find it. He just got it Thursday. :o( I need to call dh's allergist because 2 yo Amanda took his allergy shots meds out of the refrigerator I noticed them on the counter a week later, type up invoices, de-clutter dining room, Boy Scout meeting at 7:00. My day is full.

[barbszy]

We had sweet teriyaki salmon tonight. I had a baked yam and the kids had mac & cheese. DH was in Pennsylvania with our neighbor, watching some kind of demolition derby event.

[Sueanne]

Made DH favorite eggplant parmigan. Also had roasted chicken & potatoes. Had leftover kale on the side.
This was a small eggplant which is easier to slice and cook.

[Bilby]

Stuffed steak rolls with broccoli, carrots and sliced potato bake. I'm making fresh fruit salad for dessert

[ellenmelon]

DD1 made pierogies and DD2 whose tummy was upset didn't eat all day and tried just a few grapes and mex lasagna later. DH is off to camp for bear season. Kind of picked all day is what we did.

[trainlady]

Tonight we had chicken and dumplings, carrots and cabbage.

hugs, train:falll:

[SanDansMom]

Today was Navajo tacos for a fundraiser at church. Mmm, were they good! DH spoke to one of the Navajo men who cooked them, and complimented him on how good they were. The fellow said he grew up on them. If so, he ate well! They were Indian fry bread with seasoned hamburger meat, pinto beans, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, onions and salsa. And they were huge! I took part of mine home, and finished it off tonight. DH made himself a burrito tonight.

[barbszy]

Those Navajo tacos do sound good!

Tonight we're having meatball sandwiches. DD has basketball practice (during our regular dinnertime) so it has to be an easy dinner that we can eat early. I *love* meatball sandwiches...just wish I could get the really good Italian rolls like I could when I lived in North Jersey. They're not quite the same here.

[jrztomato]

Barbszy..I miss the good rolls also..haven't found a Italian bakery here in ages..We had a great one on Merritt Island when I first moved here..they made all kinds of Italian stuff..had Holly's wedding cake made there (1980)..when they closed no new one ever took it's place.
Had steak and corn on the cob last night..have no idea what I will have tonight yet....

[RobertaD]

Planning on making spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread and if I get to the store I'll pick up a bag of salad otherwise we can have carrot & bell pepper sticks.

Roberta

[Caronamy]

Ham & Cabbage Soup for dinner

Banana Bread with whipped topping for dessert

[LoriMae]

We have lots of leftovers for dinner today.

[Lizzie-boo]

Last night's dinner was Potato Cheese Soup. I hadn't made that in a long time and it just sounded good to me. It really hit the spot!

Liz

[Pag36]

Hello all, well looks like we are going to have BBQed chicken boobs ala crock pot. Not sure yet what veggies but we will eat. NOW Steven have no idea what he will eat he is sooooooooooo picky and due to Gina being sick he is over here lock stock and barrel. More later friends

[Caronamy]

Yum sounds good wanna post your recipe?

[stellajean66]

Hello ladies,

Hope you all are doing good today.

WoooooooooHoooooooo!!! Our Buccaneers actually won yesterday. How sweet. And we play Thursday, Turkey Day, the first time we have ever played on Thanksgiving. And we play at the Dallas Cowboys. Sure would be nice to win that one!!! LOL

Dinner tonight is parmesean crusted chicken breasts, creamy chicken flavored noodles(Lipton) and spinach!!! Either Eggnog Pie or Spumoni Ice Cream for dessert.

Have a great day!!!

[cau]

We had baked ham last night, so I'm trying a ham & cauliflower chowder tonight. I'll post if it is any good. I will probably make corn bread with it.
:happ:

GO BEARS!!!

[Caronamy]

Sounds yummy please do post the recipe

[DeBora43]

Tonight we had chicken enchiladas and pierogi lasagna.

[ellenmelon]

DDs came home hungry and they made up a whole pan of scrambled ham, eggs, red pepper, onion, and cheese and then toast and milk and called me to dinner. All I had to do was the dishes. Wow.

[SanDansMom]

Tonight was pasta with clams. Later we both had the munchies, so DH fixed a grilled cheese for himself. I nuked a sweet potato, then decided I also needed cheese and crackers. The good life.

Sueanne, I don't care for anchovies, but I think they are a necessity in that pasta dish. I just stir them in and break them up with the onions. By the time it's all done, you can't see them. If your sister doesn't use macaroni, how does she serve her dish?

[Bilby]

Rissoles with rice stuffed capsicums and tomato and cucumber salsa.

[barbszy]

Tonight we had chicken enchiladas and pierogi lasagna.
That is a real clash of nationalities there, DeBora! Probably delicious, though! ROFLMAO

I'm trying a new recipe tonight: Tandoori Chicken (http://domesticblissreport.blogspot.com/2006/10/tandoori-chicken.html)

On the side, jasmine rice and steamed broccoli.

[Lizzie-boo]

Here's my recipe, requested by Caronamy

POTATO CHEESE SOUP

3 to 4 cups diced (peeled) potatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup finely minced (or grated) carrot
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 1/2 cups boiling water

4 tbsp. butter
4 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cups milk
1/4 lb. (1 cup) grated cheddar or American cheese
1/2 cup finely diced ham, if desired
1 tbsp. minced parsley

Combine potatoes, onion, celery, carrots, bouillon cubes and water in soup pot. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Do not drain.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan. Blend in flour and salt. Add dry mustard and pepper. Gradually whisk in milk, whisking regularly, and cook until thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted.

Stir cheese mixture into potato mixture. Add ham, if desired. Reheat if necessary, add parsley and serve immediately.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

[ellenmelon]

Thanks for the soup recipe, Lizzie Boo. The proportions and ingredients sound good. At the Corner Room in State College, where I was a waitress my first term back in 1973, they had a similar soup called Winter Vegetable Soup, they added cauliflower and broccoli. I liked it and have wanted to duplicate ever since. You have saved me the work!

[Lizzie-boo]

Ellen, I almost added broccoli, as I have some in the fridge. Did the version you had have potatoes with the broccoli and cauliflower?

Liz

[ellenmelon]

I think so. Even if it didn't I think the potatoes would add some substance to it. Now I am even thinking that it would be great served over mashed potatoes.

[futureteacher]

I haven't had a chance to visit here for a few days--lots to catch up on!

Dinner here on Sunday was crockpot beef stew with Hawaiian rolls. Last night's dinner was leftover stew. And tonight I'm going out for dinner after Girl Scouts--don't know where yet, but I'm sure it will be yummy AND I get a night off of cooking!

[Pag36]

Not sre what will be for dinner tonite. Got 2 pumpkin pies in oven for Thanksgiving. Several more recipes on table waiting for my attention. But can not do them till pies are out.
Maybe left over BBQ chicken.

[Caronamy]

Leftover Ham & Cabbage soup!

[Lizzie-boo]

Tonight I get to pick up DS from school. I am SOOOO excited that he'll be home for a few days (he doesn't have to go back until early Sunday!). So, dinner will be somewhere on the road between the college and home. Not sure where yet, we'll decide then.

Liz


Liz

[DeBora43]

That is a real clash of nationalities there, DeBora! Probably delicious, though! ROFLMAO

Think about it. We traveled the world. The enchiladas took us to Mexico, the lasagna part took us to Italy, and the pierogi is Polish! lol Actually, I made the lasagna the day before thinking DH was going to make some type of simple meat. Then, the GKs decided they wanted chicken enchiladas toward the last minute, so I caved. lol

Tonight, we will probably have leftovers since I have so much of the lasagna leftover as well as the enchiladas. I may serve something green with them.

[bensmom526]

At the half way point on those brownines =0)

Dinner: Teriyaki Chops w/rice
and guess what's for dessert:whistle:


Hey did I miss the eggnog pie recipe?

Happy Cooking
Nancy

[stellajean66]

Hello all,

Hope you all are doing good today.

Another gorgeous crisp day here........it is 57 degrees now.

Nancy, you did NOT miss the eggnog pie recipe. I bought the pie at Publix. Oh my goodness it is sooooooooooo good. Wish I did have the recipe though!!! LOL

Dinner tonight is baked pork chops, creamy garlic noodles(Lipton) and some kind of veggy. We need to run to the grocery store after dinner, so I needed something quick and easy.

Have a great day!!!

[Bilby]

I'm still working on what's for dinner, I think I will peek at some of the back recipes here.

[SanDansMom]

DH made a wonderful salad with romaine, ham, pepperoni, provolone and home-cured black olives with oil and vinegar dressing. We ate it with french bread. It was wonderful! We had Lipton Raspberry tea with it.

[Sueanne]

Made a delicious meal out off the leftover roast beef cutup. Sauteed some rice in olive oil mixed with onion, zucchini squash strips, peppers & mushrooms. Added leftover chicken broth as it browned. Then added the meat pieces and cooked covered in my turbo cooker.
It was a healthy dinner cooked in only a few minutes.
Mom never complains about what I cook. She still has a good appetite.

Sueanne:falll:

[barbszy]

We really liked the Tandoori Chicken I made yesterday :up: That's one we'll make again.

I think tonight will be spaghetti and meatballs. I have plenty to do, to get ready for tomorrow :happ2:

[LoriMae]

Not sure what today will bring. DSIL and hubby will be here at dinner time and I haven't even thought about what we are going to have.

I'll think about it later.:leaves: That's what I feel like doing.

[ellenmelon]

Sueanne, I miss my mother and it really feels good to hear and read about your adventures with yours with the cooking, appts, and shopping and all. I like your meals too.

Don't know either about dinner. I still have two zucchini in the fridge so should think about them before they rot and I have to clean out the fridge again. Back on WW so using veggies will happen more often now. Guess I'll need to post over on Pag's thread, Weight Watchers - What's for Dinner? !!

[DeBora43]

Since I am taking the GKs back to Midland, TX, we will have an early and quick dinner. We will have chicken and dressing casserole (http://www.momsmenu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126), a dish completely made in the microwave and it is easy, yams, greenbean casserole, and a tossed green salad.

[stellajean66]

Hello all,

Hope everyone is doing good on this Thanksgiving eve.

We are going to my brother's tomorrow for Thanksgiving, so I don't have to cook. I am bringing to pans of broccoli casserole. My brother can eat one pan by himself, he loves it so much!!!

Dinner tonight is BLT's..........something quick, easy and light, since we have the big meal tomorrow!!!

Have a great day!!!

[futureteacher]

Dinner here tonight? Well, whatever it is, will definitely be on the run. We'll be going out of town the minute I am off work, so it's going to have to be a quick one!

[Sueanne]

Sueanne, I miss my mother and it really feels good to hear and read about your adventures with yours with the cooking, appts, and shopping and all. I like your meals too.


ellenmellon....She has gotten stronger since last March. Florida seems to agree with her. It is a full time job taking care of older people. She enjoys the out doors wants the fresh air no matter how cool it is.
Was thinking of letting her write a journal of all the things she can still remember about her youth

Sueanne:falll:

[Sueanne]

Cooked some bacon wrapped steaks tonight. They are so tender. Also made frozen hash browned potatoes & kale. Cooked a spaghetti squash in the microwave since mom cannot eat greens with high vitamin K.
So far she is doing good on her special Coumadin diet.
Have a good day tomorrow.

Sueanne:falll:

[ellenmelon]

a journal would be a treasure!

We ended up with sourdough english muffins and sausage gravy.

[Shelley Kunkel]

Thank you for sharing the picture Sueanne.

We had Reuben's for dinner.

I used spreadable butter
8 slices of sour dough bread
thousand island dressing
1 cup well drained sauerkraut
8 thinly sliced pieces of corned beef
4 thinly sliced Havarti cheese


You butter one side of each slice of bread. Place the buttered side on a skillet.
Spread thousand island dressing on the bread.
Top 4 pieces of bread with the remaining toppings: sauerkraut, two pieces of corned beef, one slice of cheese. Put the four remaining bread slices on top of ingredients, butter side up.
Turn on the burner. Heat the four sandwiches until brown. Turn over & brown other side. Cut in half. Enjoy!

TTFN,

We had pizza, salad and bread sticks last night.

Leftovers were on the menu for tonight.

Thursday we are having lunch at my Mom's and dinner at the in-laws.

[Bilby]

I am making fried rice with sweet and sour fish, sea scallops and prawns, mmmmm

[LoriMae]

We went to Newport Bay and had fish and chips. It took Sil & dbil 8 hrs to get here. It's normally a 6 hr trip. The traffic was so bad at times they were only doing 10 miles an hr.

They were starving and we just got home so now I'm going to bed.

:happ:

[SanDansMom]

Tonight it was dig in the fridge and pantry. DH made himself a sandwich early. I ate a whole can of sardines in mustard sauce with crackers, then threatened to kiss him. Later we had french fry sandwiches, a particular favorite of his. What can I say? The man loves french fries any which way. But we did class it up with sparkling water.

[Lizzie-boo]

Last night's dinner was breakfast for dinner. We had scrambled eggs with ham, hash brown potatoes and multi-grain toast, with milk or juice on the side. I just love breakfast foods and rarely get to have them in the morning, so this was a real treat.

Liz

[Pag36]

Happy Thanksgiving one and all, Sueanne I also totally enjoy reading about your dear Mother I miss my own and she will be gone 12 yrs in Jan. So reading about yours and seeing her pictures is such a delight. And I likewise enjoy reading about your meals you have such a way of describingwhat you are fixing that makes one want to have it too.

[stellajean66]

Good Morning all,

Just wanted to pop on here and wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!!! May we all enjoy our day spent with loved ones...........

Have a wonderful day!!!

:happ2:

[DeBora43]

Today and tonight will be port roast, pierogi lasagna, green bean casserole, yams, dump cake, tossed green salad, and rolls.

:happ2:

[Lizzie-boo]

Today's dinner, by request of DS, will be Kung Pao Chicken and Stir-fried Broccoli with garlic and ginger. Not the most traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but good food shared with loved ones is part of what today is about.

Liz

[ellenmelon]

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts. Never did get a pumpkin pie made and the cornbread was a flop so we didn't eat that. Managed to make some gravy okay.

Brussels Sprouts for People Who Hate Them but will Eat Them When Made This Way:

Cut off the stalky end and make an X cut into the base of the sprout. Also peel off any ugly outer leaves.

Drizzle oil in baking pan, Walnut Oil is very good if you have it.

Toss sprouts in the oil.

Add 1 cup of cranberries, dried or fresh or frozen.

Drizzle all with honey and then with maple syrup.

Slow roast in oven, 350F for 40 minutes, uncovered, tossing every 15 minutes so all is evenly coated. The sugars will be sort of goopy but not burnt in the pan.

Put into serving dish and top with 1/2 cup or so of walnuts.

[debknechtel]

:happ2: Hope all of you celebrating today have a wonderful time with family and friends and finds lots to be thankful for.!

Last nights dinner was baked ham, scalloped potatoes and corn on the cob.

tonight we had homemade cannelloni and a salad.

Started preparing everything early since DS likes to eat and run. Has a new girlfriend so has to get back when she finishes eating with her parents. Glad he is feeling better not laying around in pain.
DH said glad you like to cook.
Cooked a twelve pound fresh butterball turkey with stuffing and stuffed mushrooms, broccoli & sweet potatoes. Used my black enameled roasting pan with a cover.
Coated the turkey with olive oil and some orange juice squeezed from the orange itself. Inside put apple slices.
The stove top stuffing was good but a little to salty for me. DS likes homemade better.
Since the pots and pans were all done early set the Dining room table with Holiday table cloth and dishes. Always enjoy the meal more when it is spread before me.
Mom should be coming back with Sister for coffee, cake and chatter.

Dh took some time to cut some oranges from our tree in the back.
Always give Mom an orange every morning. The frost we had helped turn the oranges a brighter orange.
Nothing like the taste of fresh fruit.
My papayas are still doing good frost did not effect them.
Should be in the eighties by the weekend.

Later we had french fry sandwiches
We must be related..I like to fry potatoes, scramble in an egg and make a sadwich of it....a carry over from my youth during the depression years..but I love it..
tonight I will have left over ham, mashed yams and sliced tomatoes...and left over pumpkin pie...

[barbszy]

Shelley, I LOVE Reuben sandwiches!! I prefer a good spicy mustard on mine instead of Thousand Island, though, and pile on that sauerkraut! YUM! OK, now I need some rye bread so I can make one for lunch.

Ellen, I'm the only Brussels Sprout eater here. They're a favorite of mine. :) I'm going to share your recipe with my neighbor who also likes them!

I couldn't get on FC at all yesterday; with all the rain we had my internet just wouldn't connect. :bawl: Here's what we had for Thanksgiving:

Appetizers:
raw vegetable platter
potato chips and dip
pretzels
pistachio nuts
cheese and cracker tray

Dinner:
roast turkey
sausage stuffing
mashed potatoes
mashed rutabagas
cranberry sauce
fresh green beans
homemade rolls
gravy

Dessert:
homemade apple pie
coconut custard pie

My DD was a big help to me this year. She peeled all the apples for the pie, peeled some of the potatoes for me (after doing all the other peeling, chopping, slicing and dicing my right arm muscles went into a giant cramp about halfway through the poatoes), and prepped the green beans. :) It was nice having her help in the kitchen. She is going to grow up to be a good cook.

There's plenty of everything left. I have to figure out what to do with these leftover mashed potatoes....and I'm trying to decide what I'll make for dinner tonight. Maybe a pot pie....turkey of course!

[cau]

Barb, I had to laugh about the mashed potatoes, dd#1 made them from scratch ( I always use boxed with creamcheese added) and guarded them when her sisiters were making care packages for themselves. She said "no way I'm sharing these, your lucky mom made me share for the meal. We all laughed as we remembered how she was like that with my mom's real mashed potoatoes when she was little. we had a good day remembering my folks & my dh's and all my kids memories. It is nice to pass them down & my dgd loves hearing about when mom & aunts were little.

:football: GO BEARS !!

[DeBora43]

I used to make myself French fry sandwiches when I was a teenagers. Except, I didn't put egg in mine.

Tonight, I think we will have hamburgers and chips since we plan on going to the drive-in movies. We can take that along with soft drinks and maybe popcorn.

[stellajean66]

Hello all, and TGIF!!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. It is always nice to get together with loved ones, sharing memories, and making new ones.

Since we ate at my brother's this year, we have no leftovers to enjoy.

And since it is payday, dinner will be out, just not sure where.

Have a great afternoon!!!

[Pag36]

Hello all, had a very nice Thanksgiving and hope everyone else did too.
Tonite will be left overs and most likely tomorrow too with something new added to it.

[ellenmelon]

Sueanne - we did a citrus turkey also and it was the best turkey I have ever had, even the dark meat. I guess I used tangerines, onion, carrot, celery, limes and soy and butter. No herbs this time.

I had the brussels cold for lunch and they were like eating candy. Amazing for such a little cabbage thing.

[Bilby]

Did you know if you thinly slice brussel sprouts and add them to the cabbage in coleslaw no one even notices they are there?
If I cook them and put them on the plate the kids will eat them but won't seek them out. I tell them it's only one sprout what can that hurt eat it with your mashed potatoes LOL Then next time 2 sporuts etc etc.
I sneak all sorts of things into our food and no one is the wiser!

[DeBora43]

Kathy, you are sneaky, sneaky, sneaky! lol

Tonight we are going to have leftovers instead of hamburgers. DS realized the Mavericks are playing on television and he doesn't want to miss the game by going to the movies. So, we'll go tomorrow.

[Haleys grandmom]

WEr'e having leftover Thanksgiving dinner.I cooked a small turkey on my George Forman rotissere, becasue we went to my cousins for the actual big meal. Wow, did she have a lot of food there, must have cooked for a week!!!

[ajrsmom]

:foc: We went all out for dinner tonight--my DS and I had Totinos pizzas and my DD had a corn dog. WooHoo! ;)


I have leftover turkey to use up tomorrow too.

[Pag36]

Had to send the whole post to my primary addy to get it to work for me. Grrrr

Dinner was leftovers

[RobertaD]

Kids went to Grandma's so DH & I had a date night. Had t-bone steak, baked potatoe, shrimp ****tail (leftover from Thursday at the inlaws), leftover chocolate cream pie if we get hungry. Watching shows that we taped over the last couple of nights instead of going to the movies or renting one.

Roberta

[barbszy]

We had leftovers. For me and DH, I made "turkey bowls" like Kentucky Fried Chicken has. Bottom layer was stuffing, then turkey cut in bite size pieces, then mashed potatoes, then gravy, corn and a little bit of shredded cheese. It was like Thanksgiving in a bowl. I ate WAY too much and forgot the cranberry sauce!

Most of the rest of the leftover turkey and stuffing is going in the freezer. I have enough turkey for 2 more dinners and stuffing for 3 (the kids don't eat it). I also have rutabagas to freeze. I'm going to use some of those Tupperware hamburger-patty containers for those, since I'm the only one who eats it. This will give me "individual portions."

[Pag36]

We had leftovers and like you Barbszy think rest of turkey is going in the freezer as well as dressing not that much left of the rest of it.
Tomorrows dinner is anyones guess.

[Bilby]

We are having bbq steak, marinated in honey, soy and garlic. Cooked boiled potatoes sliced and crisped up on the bbq, herb and cheese bread and a tossed salad

[cau]

We had leftovers, all the kids were here again. It was nice but they cleaned me out of stuffing. I only make it from scratch for thhnaksgiving so I made enough for care packages. I have enough white meat left for a few sandwich for me. So that works out nice noone gets tired of it. Burger sounded good for tonight.

:football: GO BEARS !!

[barbszy]

Cau, I see I'm not the only one who refers to sending home leftovers with someone as "care packages" :beat:

I haven't decided on dinner yet for tonight. I'll wait a while & see what all of you are having & see what inspiration strikes ROFLMAO

[jrztomato]

Kathy..years ago I had a friend whose kids wouldn't eat veggies...she would throw them in a blender and work them in her meat loaf and they were never the wiser..sort of like "out of sight out of mind" thing...
Packaged up all my ham yesterday..have enough for 12 meals plus the bone for pea soup..will pick up a pkg of dried peas today...it is all in the freezer....
Going out to dinner with my friend and her son tonight...she likes Whistle Junction so imagine that is where we will go....
:dinner:

[RobertaD]

We will be eating leftovers for lunch. Will decide dinner as the day unfolds might have enough leftovers for dinner as well.

Roberta

[ellenmelon]

Leftovers might take the form of a turkey pie with crust or turkey soup and then freeze the both, think there is enough for double portions of each.

The stuffing turned out so well there aren't any leftovers. We ordered one of the KFC bowls to see how they were and we will make them at home from now on like Barbszy did. KFC also offers a rice bowl so if there are no mashed potatoes left, we'll line the bowl with rice.

I am the only one who likes roasted parsnips with carrots so I am used to eating them all myself too. How do you season those rutabagas Barbszy? My palate is just mature enough now to take them on! I didn't grow up with them and missed out.

[Pag36]

God idea Margaret will have to remember that veggie thing and meatloaf.

I also would like to know how YOU do your rutabaga's Barbszy I have made them for years but you might have a diff way that appeals to me. Those suckers are hard to cut and peel tho' but love them.

[LoriMae]

Yesterday we had turkey sandwiches for lunch and since we were out shopping we went to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant.
Today dh and I will have our leftovers, I can't wait!

[Lizzie-boo]

Wow, Laurie, great minds think alike. We had leftovers for lunch yesterday, too, and then went to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant after a bit of shopping.

Liz

[barbszy]

I just peel and cut the rutabagas, boil until tender, then mash with some butter and pepper.

Tonight I'm making the Chicago Deep Dish Pizza (http://www.familycorner.com/forums/showthread.php3?p=404375#post404375). We need something "non-turkey" today :sausa: Figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone and work on transferring some recipes to the Recipe Exchange, which I'm supposed to do anyway, and look for something interesting for dinner :)

[Pag36]

Thanks Barbszy that is pretty much what I do. I really like those but don't have them except for T-Day and Christmas but did not have yesterday.

Still not sure what tonites dinner will be. Will check in freezer and see if anything strikes me

[ajrsmom]

We are having leftovers today too. I am making a turkey and noodle casserole. At this point, nobody is thrilled with it but it will use up the extra food.

The rest of the turkey is going in the freezer.


Tomorrow we are grilled porkchops. Can't wait to break in our new grill. :)

[Sueanne]

For lunch had leftover turkey chopped up with salad dressing with slice of tomato on toasted bread.
Not much left maybe enough for a snack.

Tonight cooked shrimp with garlic and oil, sauteed fresh tomato & shredded zucchini with it. Even added some fresh cauliflower to simmer with it. Added some spaghetti water to make it soupier to add over the spaghetti. Sprinkled some romano cheese over it all.

Mom enjoyed the spaghetti after taking a walk today.

Dh does not like shrimp so he eat the leftover sausage with the cauliflower and kale.

Sueanne:fallleaf:

[futureteacher]

Last night's dinner was grilled steak and shrimp with garlic mushrooms on the side. Tonight for dinner we had grilled venison loin and leftover shrimp with loaded baked potatoes. Tomorrow I will work on the menu for the week and get started on some cooking for the first few days of the week.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!:leaves:

[Bilby]

Never had venison, wha'ts it taste like?

We bought home fish and chips with calamri rings, the whiting usually a small fish were big fillets and we have left overs, something not usually heard of in our house. Will have it for dinner

[stellajean66]

Good Morning all,

Hope you all are doing good on this Sunday morning.

My hubby has to work today, overtime, which is always nice. But that means, it is football day just for me. Our son doesn't care to watch it. Though our Bucs played and lost on Thanksgiving, and they do not play today, I still like to watch the games.

I think I will make some chicken salad for lunch.

Dinner is baked ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing and some sauteed mustard greens.
Eggnog pie for dessert.

Have a wonderful day!!!

[Caronamy]

Lasagna for dinner.

My in-laws were suppose to come over today; but this morning I cancelled them. Sore throats and coughing up phlem here in this house, so I said you better stay home.

Bought a sweet potato pie at Walmart last night so that will be dessert.

[futureteacher]

Bilby--
Venison tastes similar to beef--it can sometimes taste a bit "gamey," but usually has very little of that taste if cooked properly. Plus it's a lot lower in fat than beef, so that's a good!

Dinner here tonight will be pork chops in gravy with mashed potatoes, rolls and warm fruit salad. Pumpkin pie for dessert.

Did my usual planning and pre-cooking for the week today. My menu for the week is:
MONDAY: Nacho bake
TUESDAY: Chicken noodle casserole
WEDNESDAY: Venison tacos with chips and salsa

Thursday is our Christmas party for our Girl Scout Service Unit (so it will be for all of the adult volunteers in our area). My co-leader and I are hosting the party. Our main dish is white chicken chili. We are providing that as well as the crackers, shredded cheese and sour cream to go with it, plus the beverages. Everyone else brings the "extras" since it's a potluck!

[RobertaD]

Plan for the next couple of days in no particual order is:
Pizza
Ham steaks, scalloped potatoes
chili, cornbread

Roberta

[ajrsmom]

We have a change of plans today. DH came home this morning wanting pizza from one of our favorite places so I think that is what we are going to do tonight. Of course, if he gets up grumpy, that could change. ;)

I have been talking to him about volunteering somewhere other than just at my son's school. Today he actually approached me and asked if I would like to do home delivery for "Meals on Wheels". He said that he would do the driving if I would deliver to the houses. My kids can ride along too. :) I am going to call about it tomorrow morning.


Caronamy, I hope that everyone is feeling better soon!

Futureteacher, Your Girl Scout dinner menu sounds really yummy.

[cau]

We are putting up the Christmas decorations so it an easy kitchen night. Pizza sounds good. Next week in no order will be
Turkey soup with an Austrain bread dumping( my dh family heirloom recipe)
Turkey tetrazzini & broccoli & chopped tomatoes
Pork Roast & brown potatoes(dd#2 b-day treat) & salad
ham steak & scalloped potatoes & salad
:football: GO Bears

[trekmom]

had hotdogs, fried potatoes w/onions, baked beans
looking for something easy for tomorrow-dd has voluntee work at her dd's school and I'm working all day (as usual)-maybe chicken from the deli or homemade pizza

[barbszy]

We had Teriyaki Pork here (Bensmom526's recipe--it's become a favorite!)

Caronamy, I hope everyone is feeling better at your house soon!

[Sueanne]

Fried some eggplants slices and made it parmigan. Use Hunts Spaghetti sauce no sugar or salt.
Also made meat patties with onion & peppers.

Looking forward to eating the eggplant tomorrow in a sandwich.
_______
Sueanne:falll:

[DeBora43]

Since I had to drive back to Cruces for school (a 3 1/2 hour drive) and DS had to go back to Midland as his plane leaves tomorrow, I ordered pizza. That gave him extra to take to his sister's and share with her family as well.

[trainlady]

We had crunchy shell tacos and corn tonight.

[stellajean66]

Hello ladies,

Hope everyone is doing good on this Monday afternoon.

Well the cold weather has moved back north, so we are warm again............our high for today is 82 degrees. This time of year, our weather can never make up its mind!!! LOL

Dinner tonight is breakfast for dinner. Bacon, eggs, toast. Something quick and light. Not sure of dessert. Maybe some Edy's Spumoni ice cream.

Have a great day!!!

[Pag36]

Hello all, will be having Meatloaf, home made Mac&Cheese and maybe will fix Kraft one for IMP lol, a veggie but don't know yet which one.

[barbszy]

We're having Chicken Paprikas tonight, with spaetzel on the side.

[Bilby]

Chicken spaghetti tonight
Chopped up cooked chicken
Jar/can spaghetti sauce
Cooked spaghetti or pasta.
I'm throwing in a handfull of mixed frozen veges
Heat it all through and sprinkle with grated cheese.

[Sueanne]

Mixed the leftover eggplant over leftover spaghetti and added some cheese heated till bubbling.
Also made some beef patties. Dh does not eat spaghetti so he had cauliflower & eggplant.
Seems like you never get rid of leftovers.
_______
Sueanne:falll:

[crowemommy]

We had a final dose of left-over turkey tonight. Poor dh had left-over turkey for lunch and he came home to Turkey Shepherds Pie.

Don't know what dinner will be tomorrow. Dd and I are going on a school trip to the National Cathedral in Washington DC. It will be a long day, so probably should put something in the crockpot.

Hope everyone is having a good week!

[LoriMae]

Dh had hot turkey sandwich. I'm having leftover flank steak and salad, maybe some yams too.

[Lizzie-boo]

I had a dinner meeting, so somebody else cooked for me! We had Italian seasoned breaded chicken, cheddar garlic mashed potatoes, vegetable, salad and rolls, with a chocolate brownie for dessert. Yummmy!

Liz

[SanDansMom]

We've done a lot of grazing on leftovers since Thanksgiving. Tonight DH made a chef's salad with romaine. It was good. He makes wonderful salads. I just haven't been cooking much lately. Good thing he can! We are all through with Thanksgiving leftovers except for some pie.

[janet]

Hello everyone, I wanted to share an old favorite recipe. I love making this on a day when my house is feeling cold..it warms it up!
Janet

Sticky Chicken

Serves: 4

This roasted chicken gets its sticky coating from the juices it releases while being baked.

INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 ready-to-cook 1 lb. roasting chicken
1 cup chopped onion

DIRECTIONS
1. In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices.
2. Remove giblets from chicken; clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels.

3. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin.

4. Place in a re-sealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight.

5. When ready to roast chicken, stuff cavity with onions, and place in a shallow baking pan.

6. Roast, uncovered, at 250° F for 5 hours. After the first hour, baste the chicken occasionally (every half hour or so) with pan juices. The pan juice will start to caramelize on the bottom of the pan and the chicken will turn golden brown. If the chicken contains a pop-up thermometer, ignore it.

7. Let chicken rest about 10 minutes before carving.

Dinner tonight is hamburgers and mac and cheese. Easy and simple.

[Pag36]

Dinner tonite will be leftover meat loaf Mac & Cheese and green peas. Tried to post few mins ago and it vanished grrr!

[BuddyBeanieBaby]

Tonight is Lasagna with fresh French Bread,salad and pumpkin pie for dessert.

It is -11 here today and we are having a blizzard,anyone want any snow???

[RobertaD]

Well change in plans DD2 came home from pre-school not keeping anything down so we will try chicken noodle soup with toast for dinner.

Had the leftover pizza last night still a little left for anyone that doesn't want soup.

Roberta

[Haleys grandmom]

I'm cheating tonight, I'm opening a can of Dinty Moore beef stew and doctoring it up a bit for taste, making a pie crust and putting the stew in the pie crust , throwing another crust on top to make a double crust pie, and homemade custard pie for dessert

[jrztomato]

Joyce I like DM stew...
Having hotdogs, beans and corn on the cob tonight...easy and fast...

[barbszy]

DD and I are both down with a virus of some kind so DH picked up takeout. I had Egg Drop Soup. It always helps me feel better :ill:

[crowemommy]

Barbszy - hope your feeling better soon!

We had spaghetti for dinner tonight.

[Sueanne]

Cooked a beef rump roast with mashed potatoes & stringbeans. Dh likes escarole so made that too.
I usually cook it frozen so it stays rare in the middle. Cook it slow at 350* in a covered roasting pan.
Looking forward to hot roast beef sandwiches tomorrow.
Mom really enjoyed the meal.

Sueanne:falll:

[janet]

Theresa, Please keep your snow...I am so pleased not to have any yet..even though we are due for some lake effect snow.

Everyone, that is feeling bad, I am so sorry for you...I always like to have chicky soup..and crackers for food when ill..and when I get over the queasiness I add peanut butter to the crackers. lol

I am praying you all get to feeling "chipper" quickly.

Hugs, Janet

[trekmom]

Spaghetti, salad and french bread

[Debbie F.]

BuddyBeanieBaby~I love snow! We don't hardly get it here where I live, but they have predicted a possible "wintry weather mix" for Thursday! Maybe even some sleet, as the temps are going to drop from today's high of 79º to a projected high of only 39º on Thursday with that precipitation! For us, that is way :brrrrrrrr , especially considering how HOT our summers are!! But do I ever look forward to our cooler weather!! Can't get too fond of it~~by Tuesday the temps are going to be back up around 60º. From where a lot of you live, you are probably cracking up that we think anything below 45º is really cold! If you really wanna good laugh, you should see the run on the grocery stores tomorrow afternoon!

Barbszy~~Hot & Sour Soup saves me most times when I have a cold or sinus infection! Hope your Egg Drop does the same magic!

Tonight was pot roast, carrots & new potatoes.

Blessings to all :heart:

[Lizzie-boo]

Barb, hope you're feeling better soon. Maybe it's something in the air there -- I just talked to DH in Pa, and he has a cold now. Boo!

Debbie, I'm a big fan of Hot and Sour Soup, too. I've even made it myself -- I doctored a Martha Stewart recipe. Hmmmm, maybe some would ward off the spirits of colds to come????? Sounds like a good idea for dinner tomorrow.

Tonight's dinner was a taco salad to use some of the taco meat left from the weekend.

Liz

[ellenmelon]

Maybe it's this unseasonably warm weather Barbszy! It just won't kill off any germs! I hope the soup helped you feel better. I pumped zinc lozenges and vitamin C into the kids today just as an after Thanksgiving preventative.

We had the rest of the mashed potatoes or a roll with hot turkey and gravy over it. Also bought some clementines that I see the girls are consuming as they do their homework this evening.

[Bilby]

Steak with mushroom and onion gravy, cheese and parsley mashed potatoes, carrots and peas tonight. I made jelly and custard for dessert.

[SanDansMom]

We found some jars of home canned marinara sauce from fresh tomatoes that I canned before we moved to Arizona. So today we had angel hair pasta with marinara sauce.

Later tonight we had an Italian style tomato salad with bakery rolls. Garlic and olive oil on the tomatoes. Good, but potent! Dutch apple pie (Sara Lee and me) afterward.

[cau]

Barbszy, hope you feel better, I always want hot sweet tea when I'm down. Just like my mom made it in special china tea cups.
Ellen, Arn't those clemintines good this year? we are on our 2nd box. I'm hopeing they keep the viruses away. This warm weather is not helping. We are suppose to get snow tomorrw but today the high will be 65 degrees. Crazy for the end of Nov.
Today is dd#2 b-day so she is coming over for her fav meal. Pork roast, brown potatoes, bushetta and a zuke cassarole. All 3 dds will be here to help her celebrate. I have to be sure and make enough to have more of those care packages. That's what my mom always called them Barbszy. I hope everyone starts feeling better.

[ellenmelon]

Me too, we pack out leftovers too. I save 32 oz yogurt containers and those gladware things just for that reason! Wouldn't be a family meal without doing this.

Made up a crockpot of beef vegetable cabbage with some leftover turkey meat too. Need to doctor a little more before dinner. Have some rolls with it.

The clementines will be followed by the winter strawberries from Florida, woo hooo!

[debknechtel]

Barb sorry to hear you ar feeling under the weather, hope it passes quickly!!!

Theresa funny how we are in the same province yet we have had unseasonly warm temps so far. Thurs is suppossed to be a high of 17 here. We have yet to have snow. I am enjoying it but know when the cold and snow hits it will be a shock!! Hope you are all okay!

Supper last night was out at a restaurant with my girlfriend who was home for leave from Afghanistan. We celebrated her birthday since she was overseas for it.
Tonight dinner is leftovers from our supper last night and salad here as it is parent teacher interviews this evening.
It looks like we will be having more dinners out then in over the next few weeks with all the christmas parties and friends homes we are going to!

Hugs Debbie

[BuddyBeanieBaby]

Yes it is funny DebK being in the same province and we are getting snow and you are having the nice warm weather,in North Bay it is freezing rain,both my daughters live there.

Barbszy,hope you are feeling better soon.

Tonight for supper is Honey Glazed Ham with homemade Scalloped Potato's with Creamed Peas and Chocolate Nut Fudge for dessert.
Hubby's favorite food is anything at all,lol.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day

[Caronamy]

Tonight was suppose to be cheezy scallopped potatoes & ham, but I don't think I'm up to peeling all those potatoes. Been under the weather all week. Had lasagna on Sunday and the last few nights been eating leftovers. Maybe something quick in the microwave. have to run son up to college for an evening class tonight.

[stellajean66]

Hello all,

Hope everyone is doing good today.

For those of you under the weather, hope you feel better soon!!!

Well it looks like our warm weather will be here till Monday, then we may get a cool down. Until then, my AC is running!!! LOL

Hubby decided to pick up tacos last night for dinner. So last night's planned dinner will be tonight. Hamburgers and mac and cheese.

Have a great day!!!

[Raggd3]

Tonight will be baked fish. Don't know what the side will be yet. Some veggie, probably.

Barb and Caron, hope you're both feeling better real soon.

[RobertaD]

Our dinner plans are back on track with ham & scalloped potatoes and a veggie tonight. We have jello if anyone is wanting dessert.

DD2 seemed to have a short run virus only threw up for 7 hours. Kept her home today but she should be able to go back to pre-school tomorrow.

Roberta

[janet]

Cornish Pasties for dinner tonight...I made them yesterday, and still have some left.
I love an easy day of cooking!

Janet, what's cornish pastries?

[crowemommy]

I finally made it to the grocery store tonight! Dinner tonight was chicken (picked up a roasted chicken tonight), mashed potatoes and salad.

I'm planning meatloaf in the crockpot for dinner tomorrow night (as long as the meat thaws before I go to bed tonight . . . .) then we'll just have to pick out a veggie when we get home.

Lizzie-boo - Is your house up for sale yet? How is dh's new job?
Barbszy - hope your feeling better soon!

[crowemommy]

I finally made it to the grocery store this afternoon!
Tonight's dinner ended up being chicken (I picked up a roasted chicken tonight) with mashed potatoes and salad.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping to make a meatloaf in the crockpot (as long as the gr beef thaws before bed tonight!).

Liz - Is your house up for sale? How is that going? How is your dh's new job?
Barbszy - hope you are feeling better soon!

[crowemommy]

I finally made it to the grocery store this evening!

We had chicken (picked up a roasted chicken tonight) w/ mashed potatoes and salad.

I'm planning on making a meatloaf in the crockpot tomorrow (as long as the ground beef thaws before bed tonight!).

Liz - Is your house on the market yet? How is that going? How does your dh like his new job?

Barbszy - hope you are feeling better!

[Lizzie-boo]

Lisa, no the house is not on the market yet. Sigh. I have one room that needed a lot of TLC before I felt I could list the house. (It's the third bedroom/office and it had awful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle wallpaper when we bought the house, and I wanted to redo it back then, but DH was too anxious to get his books unpacked and installed on shelves from floor to ceiling, so then it was always a major deal when I'd mention removing the wallpaper.) Sooooo, now I felt I really had to get it down. Wednesdays are my day off work, so I spent today scraping the backing from the wallpaper off two of the walls. (DS and I got all the vinyl top layer off when he was home this weekend).

And DH really likes his new job -- he says the people are wonderful and the tasks he's been given are interesting.

Anyway, back to the real topic, dinner tonight was homemade Hot and Sour Soup. Very soothing and warm after my day of battle with Ninja Turtles!

Liz

[Sueanne]

Made center cut pork chops in the turbo cooker tonight. Just put some bread crumbs for flavor and a little oil. They come out so tender. Hormel does have good pork chops.
Cut the tops off peppers and stuffed with chopped up peppers & tomato mixed with bread crumbs & a little oil. Poured some tomato sauce over them and cooked covered in the microwave for about fifteen min. Didn't have time to put in the oven but they turned out pretty good cooked this way. Was surprised Mom ate the whole pepper. Next time will use rice in the mix. Also made sliced mushrooms & leftover stringbeans.

We are doing beef burritos tonight

[janet]

Maryann, A pasty is a type of pie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie),(individual) It is a baked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baking) pastry case traditionally filled with diced meat and vegetables.
The ingredients are uncooked before being placed in the unbaked pastry case.
Traditionally, pasties have a semicircular shape, achieved by folding a circular pastry sheet over the filling. One edge is crimped to form a seal.

I have got to go through the fridge and tidy up so dinner will most likely include a lot of leftovers, maybe soup or pie out of them?

We had tacos last night. I think dh is getting weary of turkey dinners.

So I'm going to freeze the broth from the carcas for soup later.

Still some taco fixings left so maybe we'll have that tonight. Or maybe chicken.

We're having pot roast tonight, with noodles, onion gravy, and green & yellow bean mix.

Hello all,

Hope you all are doing good today.

Dinner tonight is hot dogs and chips. Ice cream for dessert while watching Survivor!!!

Have a good day!!

[ajrsmom]

We are having grilled chicken legs with veggies and rice w/ stir-fry sauce.

[Shelley Kunkel]

Hot dogs sound good. I think that's what we'll have. I'm also making deviled eggs because I'm taking some to MNO tonight.

My dd wants french toast instead. But they won't go well with deviled eggs.

TTFN,
Shelley K

Janet, those sound really good. I'll have to get a recipe and make some. Only I cheat with pie crusts, I buy them premade.

Dinner tonight will be chicken legs. Wish I could grill them, like Tami's, but the grill is out of gas. So, I'll bake mine and use homemade BBQ sauce. Since we had potatoes and mixed veggies last night, I may make rice or noodles as a side.

It's friday, so generaly a breakfast type of thing

[Raggd3]

The chicken was very good. I made noodles and sauce.

I found a head of cabbage way in the back of the fridge. I really should clean it out more often, all kinds of neat stuff in there.
Well anyway, now I can make another cabbage soup. I love cabbage soup, and it's great for weight loss.
I will make this one a little different. Lots of celery and tomatoes and garlic, onions, basil and thyme. Oh boy.

We got that winter blast they promised! Went from 79º yesterday to 28º today. We actually got the freezing rain, then sleet and finally a little bit of snow. Not enough to build a :snow3: but still pretty!

So, with the chilly weather I am brewing up a big pot of chili! :winter:

Have a great evening everyone!

It got really cold here today, too. Yesterday, it was 55°F and today at lunch time it was 16°. Brrrrrr!

I tried a new recipe tonight for dinner, Chicken and Broccoli Divan. Very good and a keeper (except when DH is around, he's allergic to anything green). Very warm and filling.

Sorry about the 3 posts one page back - I kept freezing up last night and had to get back on just to finish typing and reading!

Liz - Pulling down wallpaper is the worst job! Are you about finished?

[Lizzie-boo]

Lisa, I have two walls completely cleared, and the other two have the vinyl part removed and I just have to scrape the paper backing part. I gave myself tonight off. My one knee gives me grief when I overdo it, and I obviously overdid it yesterday, so I think I'll take it easy and finish on Saturday.

DD1 made smoked sausage, potatoes, cabbage for dinner while I supervised. I'm not supposed to use my hand for 5 days.

DD1 and I had a dinner adventure tonight. I picked her up from art club at 5 and just as we pulled into the driveway she said, oh we forgot to drive by the north building so I could get my lunch, I said, okay and we'll just go get a pizza now that we have to make a return trip instead of doing one at home (I know not frugal at all). So we went to get the pizza ordering from Dominoe's in the car on the cell phone.

But then I saw the Korean restaurant next door and while waiting for the pizza (they were so slow it was like a time warp in the pizza place) I ordered what I thought was an innocent selection from the Korean menu. We had just watched the Top Chef show last night where they served Korean food and I thought it might be worth it to make a small try. It ended up being some sort of beef and noodle soup thing when I thought it was going to be a stir fry so I don't even know that I got what I ordered for takeout.

But making the side dishes choices took me forever. And everything was so different. There were 8 choices and only the pickles looked familiar. I tried the kimchee, a kind of spicy pickled cabbage, and it was all right. I tried the potato salad, it had apple pieces in it and it was very good, chilled. And then I tried this thing that looked like thin slices of tofu but it was fish. And it was decent, so those were the side dishes. At which point the dd1 came in and asked what happened to me and where was the pizza.

So we went over to get the pizza and she wanted brownies so that was another 10 minutes. Then the Korean food was ready -- before the pizza order! I told you the Dominoes was slow. 45 minutes later we had a pizza, brownies, and some strange looking soupy thing with what looked like already chewed beef floating in it. Once home I tried the soup and decided to let it sit until tomorrow. Now I am having a cup of blueberry and cream tea. Maybe now sleep will come.

It felt like the whole evening was something out of the Time Warp Trio books. By the time we got our food the school hallways would have been gated off so no lunch box pickup happened.

Odd rainy evening it was. I think I had dinner. Perhaps my idea for a burger earlier in the week would have been a better choice? But then there would have been no new adventure.

Made salmon tonight with butternut squash & cauliflower. The butternut was delicious made in the microwave. Didn't even need butter it was so sweet.
Made Dh a birthday cake in the microwave. In eleven minutes the bundt cake was done. This time used a butter flavored cake with real butter shortening. Used chocolate frosting on the cake as it cooked.
Mom said it was the best cake I have made. Need some company to help me finish it.
