Annarchy Report post Posted January 1 Hi all What’s for dinner? Today, I made bolillo bread/rolls, menudo, black eyed peas. DH wants French dips, using the prime rib/ribeye roast from Christmas, hence, the bolillo rolls. Actually found a simple recipe made the old fashioned way... DH says the taste authentic. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The WE2's Report post Posted January 2 Our supper this evening was black-eyed pea/mixed bean soup ( jarred up several quarts so I'd have them...this may be my last one), fried potatoes with onions, a nice thick slice of smoked ham, bannock bread and pantry spiced applesauce for desert. Black-eyed peas because Sherman rode through and destroyed all the crops and gardens but left the peas for "animals"; fried potatoes, that's all that kept the Irish alive long enough to come to America; onions because the children of Israel had to survive and thrive on onions and garlic; bannock bread because it's a survival bread, and applesauce because we needed to eat it! This is our tradition/story and I'll stick to it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Homesteader Report post Posted January 2 Today was fried garden potatoes, fried eggs, wild caught tuna, sweet potato, cole slaw, fruit, and tonight had fried yeast-raised bread. Glad we spent a few hours today shoveling the heavy snow from last night and burning off those calories. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The WE2's Report post Posted January 10 No pics...shared a breaded sirloin beef tenderloin, homemade potato salad (I had a jar that didn't seal) and vegetable medley. Desert; I took a package of blueberry muffin mix, added some pecans chips and poured into 2 ramikins...3 min. in micro...done. Oh...just in came some haven't tried it...when I make my potato salad I use just a little bit of mayo and the rest cottage cheese. Hubby loved it and he usually won't touch cottage cheese. I'm getting really good at disquising (sp?) foods! LOL 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Annarchy Report post Posted January 14 Tonight was reheated, on the barbecue, rib roast slices from Christmas, micro-baked potatoes-put on the grill to thicken the skins, I take DH’s skins, corn on the cob, leftover from MIL’s caldeo she made in Nov., and a small piece of DH’s Andouille sausage. A feast, but, I am preparing to go to MIL’s on Wednesday, so I’m trying to fill him up with home cooking. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ambergris Report post Posted January 15 I'm on a diet. I don't believe in diets, but I had gained ten pounds (starting from what had been my highest weight ever) in three months. So here I am, on a diet. Whole 30. No dairy (except ghee), no grains (except quinoa, ick), no beans or peas, no sugar of any kind or artificial sweetener of any kind (but I can eat fruit), no ingredients I can't pronounce, no alcohol (even to cook with). Supper was Instant Pot lemon chicken with lemons from my front yard, and it was good. It's just hard to eat meat without bread. I'm never hungry, and I'm not craving things (yet), but I'm walking around with a slight bellyache and a slight feeling that I'm sick to my stomach. All. The. Time. One month down, at least one month to go. I'm down a bit over 17 pounds since December 13. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mt_Rider Report post Posted January 15 Wow! It's important but sooo hard to keep on with a weight loss plan. I found the easiest for me was to live at my folks and run up and down their stairs 90 times a day...while being so busy I don't even notice. Lost 13# in 3 wks that way. But the end result was I've managed to keep MOST of that sorta freebie off. MtRider ...Good luck! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kappydell Report post Posted 12 hours ago Last night was a small roaster of scalloped potatoes & ham; tonight was pork steaks & broccoli. M says all she wants with those is "homemade bread". Errr…..OK. Makes dinner easy & makes it worthwhile to bake that bread fresh a couple times a week. Our latest successful "new" food was crumb coated potato wedges - I had extra home made shake & bake so while the oven was on anyway, rolled the potato wedges in oil, coated with "extra" crumbs (I always have extra crumbs left after doing the chicken) then into the oven to cook with the chicken. Worked very well - I like crispy crunchy crumby foods. And I did not have to waste those crumbs! I also have discovered that my homemade bread makes crumbs almost the same texture as panko, as long as I toss it in the blender while it is stale, not dry. So I now have even more reasons to bake lots of home made bread! Besides, I love browned crumbs, aka "poor mans parmesan". Makes me a crumby cook, you could say. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
