Good morning lovely and handsome Lurkers :)



Good morning Sara :wub:
It’s cold again! 39
Good morning, Dale :wub:

Cold here too. 45. But the sun is out.

I pulled the wrong package of beef out of the freezer for the tacos. It was clearly labeled beef cube steaks :facepalm: So guess what’s for dinner tonight? Found a recipe for the slow cooker with a mushroom sauce ;)

Kiddo is going stir crazy and it’s driving me bonkers. Even Lucy has had enough, she’s lying next to my bed. :lol: We will be going for a nice long walk this afternoon.

    Well my goodness Sara! :laugh: You’ve been having more trouble with your meal planning lately ;)

    Yeah, it’s all getting to be a bit much but now we need to be even more careful than we were :(

    Good morning Fran :wub:

    Yes, things are starting to head in the wrong direction here too and with the cold weather looming, I think it’s only going to get worse. It totally stinks.

    Haha, I know. I’ve been goofing up something awful. I’m glad I was able to figure something to do with the meat. We don’t normally eat cube steaks. Sure does smell good.

    50 here today not many decent days left. Saturday I go back to work hopefully, we all need a break from being locked up for 2 weeks!!! Covid cases have been going up in Illinois and Wisconsin for awhile now.

    Sara cube steaks make great sandwiches :)

    That sounds good. I will keep that in mind. We have another package in the freezer. How do you prepare them? Like a burger?

    Sorry your numbers are going back up too. I don’t understand why so many don’t want help to minimize the spread. We all gave up so much in the beginning to be or almost be back to square 1. I gave up on the news.

    Pretty much like a burger, we use Montreal steak seasoning and some kind of cheese whatever we have in the fridge. You can also do like a salsbury steak, Sue would just use brown gravy. Plus whatever side she felt like making.

    Swiss steak is good too, season and bread the steaks, brown in skillet then pour canned tomatoes over it all and simmer till tender.
    You gotta have mashed potatoes with that gravy result!

    It was ok. Can’t say cube steaks will be added to my grocery list anytime soon. There was something about it I definitely did not like and I think it was the thyme. The meat itself was just ok. It was food. :lol:

    We had mashed tates and garlic bread with it. Yum, Dale. Chicken, beans and biscuits. :thumb:

    I think the sauce would be much better next time without the thyme and my mushrooms rehydrated beautifully. (I have a jar of them that I dehydrated)

    Yeah me too. I’m not a big fan of cube steaks but that’s a good way to fix them.

    We had chicken thighs, bbq beans and bisquik biscuits tonight.

    We had chinese food tonight to give Dannielle a break from cooking :lol::lol::lol:

    Sara I have never used thyme before so I can't help with that. I mostly use Montreal steak seasoning or just salt and pepper and garlic ;)

    Sorry it didn’t turn out so good Sara. Most cube steaks are made from scraps so it’s not really a good piece of meat to start with.
    My favorite seasoning is Nature’s Seasoning

    Will have to keep an eye out for that one next trip to the store. I thought I’d remembered it wasn’t a prime piece. Dh had picked up a couple of packages when he went to the butcher this last time. It’s all good, tried something new and I would definitely use the sauce again maybe on a different cut of beef. :)

    It’s good to try something different every once in a while:)
