What's for Dinner?

[Luv2CUSmile]

Tonight was homemade chicken noodle soup- a huge pot- chicken and veggies... peas, carrots, beans, and broccolli-
and cornbread and crackers... either/and/or

Yummy- and the kids can eat on a bit more tomorrow while we go to Matthews Meet!

Yesterday it was morning star brand veggie burgers and lipton noodle soup....I really went all out, huh!

 

[sattec]

tonight...Cornish game hens and real cornbread stuffing....very good!

Well, it seems almost every weekend we get lost in the shuffle and end up doing quickie stuff cause all the kids are gone or doing their own thing...

Saturday we did pork loin marinated w/ a homemade sauce and brocolli, brussels, potatoes and rolls... very tastey...
Sunday was a laid back day... actually a lot to get done-we missed the meet Saturday due to my boys having obligations they didn't mention... I will not even comment at this point-
My husband helped a friend move his daughter into her new place and Sunday I helped to get some things set up in the place w/ my friend (the mom)-
We did sandwiches and dinner was more chicken soup or pork loin- they got to pick...
Tonight I made Taco Pie... everyone is stuffed!
Have no idea what tomorrow will be- I took out chicken...

Last night I made beef stew. Fresh veggies and some thick pot roast with some beef stew mix. Tonight we had leftovers on rice with french bread. I froze the rest for another night!
I am thinking maybe it will be pork chops or swiss steak. Or maybe I will be lazy and have cuban sandwiches.

If you make your own Pumpkin pie..read this! There is a shortage of pumpkins! Not Kidding. Stock up on canned while it lasts.

Well, I love sweet potato pie, anyway.

Last of the Thanksgiving gone! I love it but by day 3 I am sick of Turkey!
This year I taught my 16 year old grandson how to make a turkey, dress and cook it, My son taught him how to carve it. He was thrilled!
My daughter was impressed, she has never made one! LOL
My son made pumkin muffins and the stuffing. I did the side dishes. All in all it went great. By the the time my daughter got up here (she had to take the little grandson by his other grandma's house for dinner) we were chomping at the bit to eat!
Christmas will be a buffet of ham and fixing's. Not a full out kichen brigage. Now I am looking forward to ham sandwiches!

For the last 5 years since we moved into our new home, we haven't really had a Christmas dinner due to work, sickness, and my oldest not living near enough for us all to get together. Well its changed this year, my son has moved back home *not living with me but in home town*. I am planning a family dinner for us all with the traditional gift giving.

I am really looking forward to Christmas this year. There will be my husband, two sons, mother, father, my new daughter in law, and my mother in law present for sure. Hoping my brother and his wife can make it, as well as one of my sisters and her hubby. Not really a large gathering but then my home couldn't hold my whole family anyway, since we downsized when we moved. At any rate it should be fun and I'm going to be busy cooking for a week I'll bet.

We brined a turkey breast for thanksgiving and put turkey butter under the skin and cooked it on the grill. It was really good, better than deep fried. Ham for Christmas, Yay!
Tonight we're having cowboy beans, brined pork chops, blue cheese coleslaw and cornbread.

Mike took me out for a very late breakfast..I am too full for dinner! We had pecan pie pancakes..OMG! I was in love!!!

I went out for breakfast with some friends about nine this morning. By dinner, I'll be hungry again.

When I got back, I cleaned the kitchen---it always gets so messy while I do my holiday cooking.
I decided I wanted to let it stay clean for a while so I decided to do good ole frozen pizza---I do add some toppers so it's pretty good.
It's even paper plates night.8-o

I'm bad, so bad.

So cold and rainy here so glad i don't work today [ I work outdoors in the nursery at Lowes]. I have all my late Moms recipes and made her pico island bean recipe, it was sooo good! Today I'll be making her swiss steak, yummy! Even though i live alone i still like to cook and freeze the leftovers, lean cuisine gets a little old after awhile!

 

[Mary Kay]

Tonight I had salad and Mike had leftovers. We had Shepards pie last night.
How do you guys make it?
I make some mashed potatos, open and drain some english (sweet) peas and fry some hamburger. I layer in a baking dish:
Hamburger (fried and crunbled) on the bottom
Peas in the middle
Mashed potaoes next
Topped by grated cheddar cheese
It just needs to bake until heated and the cheese is melty and a bit toasted.

My daughter who doesn't care for peas..uses corn.

Fajitas.

Nothing else required.

We're eating late tonight. I've been cooking vegetarian chili in the crockpot all day and have cornbread muffins (from scratch) in the oven right now. Perfect rainy Saturday comfort food!

Hello ladies!

I've been gone, working and I'm going back out Monday....I just wanted to say "hey"..and keep those mealtime ideas coming!

 

[Mary Kay]

hey Sattec! What have you got for porkchops? I want to do something special..but don't know what sounds good.
We are having chili with shedded beef tomorrow. It's a nice change from ground beef.
This week I want to make some chicken soup. Yumm

 

[sattec]

I'm empty on pork chops BUT I did "kneed" some italian dressing into two steaks today to tenderize them and marinade them...I worked them by hand for about an hour while I watched my show after they defrosted. They were delish and very tender! Just drop two steaks in a large plastic bag with some dressing and start working the dressing into the meat...very good. I've done this several times...then fry 'em in a pan.... My wife made her great homemade chili during the cold snap, we ate it all! None for the freezer darn it!
