A new "What's for Dinner?"

[Mary Kay]

I use Bear Creek soup mix, of course I add to it! Potato's, carrots, celery and onions. We also add finely chopped ham for Mike..it's not dinner without meat according to him! I boil the veggies first and then add the soup mix and ham. Since there is only two of us...we just make half of the mix at a time. The mix makes 8 cups.

 

[Fudgey]

I add fried bacon to mine along with onions. I need to try that soup mix, I know they have it in the stores here.

Homemade noodles make my mouth water, Fudgy. And homemade soup is one of my favorites.

Nothing sounded good to me tonight, so I just made a big batch of cauliflower w/mozarrella.

 

[Mary Kay]

I love Collie..flowers as the kids used to call it with sharp yellow cheese. Never had it with mozarrella! I also like it deep fried..NO! I have over done frying for this month...but next month it's gonna be fried veggies! Fair food!
Tonight is going to be grilled cheese sandwiches and left over soup.

Mike made some lasagna for dinner with a salad. We use a frozen Lasagna called Michael Angelo's. It's very good and even he can cook it! LOL

Tonight, BBQed chicken, green beans with a dab of bacon grease for flavor and D.J.'s pototas.
Those I learned while working for D.J.'s oyster bar. Boil some diced up potatos, drain when done, add butter(don't be stingy..you can use margerine) garlic powder..do be stingy, and parsleychoped up. Mix until creamy but not all the way to mashed..there should be some chunks. I was out of parsley (fresh) so I clipped some garlic chives and used kitchen shears to chop them up in small bits..for color and flavoring.
This dish is great with fish dishes and BBQ..takes the place of potato salad and slaw.

Dinner tonight was BBQed chicken, green beans with a dab of bacon grease and D.J.'s potatos.
I learned to make this dish when I worked for D.J.'s Oyster Bar in Tampa.
It's cubed potatos boiled. When they are soft drain the water and add butter. (don't be stingy! You can use margerine if you prefer) Add garlic powder..you may want to be a bit stingy here..depends on who you are kissing!
Add chopped parsley..it's just for color and to nutralize the garlic breath...JK
I didn't have any fresh parsley so I used some garlic chive from my gardenette.
Stir until creamy..NOT mashed, there should be small chunks of potatos.
This dish is a great sub for potato salad or cole slaw for fish dishes or BBQ.

Tonight was son's night to come over to visit and have dinner. We made breaded fried pork chops, cinnamon apple sauce and stove top stuffing. The veggie was asparagus with cheese topping. For dessert we had spong cake shells with blueberries and whipped cream. Yummy meal! Plus the dog got a couple bones to chew!
