Heather Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Tonight we're having SIL and nephews over. We're having Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans and apple pie for dessert. A little mini Thanksgiving. Link to comment
Clovis Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I found leg quarters a while back for .69lb if you bought 10lbs. I seperated them into packages of 3 and froze them. Tonight we are having chicken, broccoli and rice cooked in home made tomato juice instead of water. Found frozen broccoli for .98lb. yesterday and thought that sounded good. The chicken is on the wood stove in a pot of water thawing and simmering some right now. It will have to be finished on the regular stove but it will thaw enough to seperate and get the skin off. Aw to heck with it I'll just go to Heathers' house for supper. What time is it? Link to comment
Fritz_Monroe Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Tonight is a rotiserie chicken. We were given a George Forman Rotisserie, good for chicken, but haven't used it for anything else. Don't know about the sides yet. Link to comment
Leah Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hippie Dad found good prices on turkey at Thanksgiving, and I notice one has been thawing in the kitchen. I assume he was in the mood for turkey, so I guess we'll have that... Link to comment
Heather Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Clovis, you should have come on over. It ended up going from feeding 7 to feeding 12 with 30 minutes notice. Thank goodness for a good pantry!! Everyone was amazed that the pie was homemade made from apples I had canned last fall. The gravy was made from the turkey broth I had canned from the last turkey we had. The beans were frozen from last summers garden and the butternut squash was from last summers garden and hanging out in the basement ready to be eaten. Can you tell my in laws don't prep and don't cook either? They all love coming to my house though. We were supposed to have leftovers for dinner tonight, but there aren't nearly enough, so I'm going to have to get creative. Link to comment
Nett Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Black-beans w/sausage over rice. A request from ds1. YUUUUMMMMMYYY!!! Link to comment
gardeningmouse Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We had a vegetarian burrito/enchilada thingy I whip up when we're hungry and I'm exhausted. It's kidney beans (half mashed), cottage cheese, and chunky salsa mixed together (depending on my mood, I sometimes add some corn) and then wrapped burrito style in a tortilla shell. I put taco sauce and shredded cheese over them in a pan and pop it in the oven till everything is hot. Tonight my husband and I had a salad with it, and my 2yo had some carrot sticks and broccoli spears with ranch dressing as a dip. Link to comment
Clovis Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We had a fresh pork roast from DF cooked in marinade with onions, home dried tomatoes and peppers for seasoning with potatoes added the last couple of hours. Got it good ond hot on the slow cooker pad then put it on the wood stove the rest of the day. Steamed some frozen mixed veggies and called it supper. Very good. Did discover fresh home grown pork is drier than store bought because it doesn't have very much fat. Link to comment
furbabymom Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Last night we had chili and cornbread. Tonight we'll be having something with pork - maybe Shake and Bake and mashed potatoes. Link to comment
Buttercup Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Last night we had BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches and coleslaw... Man that was good.. Tonight it's Baked Potatoes smothered with butter, sour cream, chili, cheese and bacon pieces! Link to comment

HSmom Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Yesterday I made Salmon Cakes, Dilly Mashed Potatoes (see the Recipes forum) and Garlic-y Green Beans. Tonight, I did HM Shake-n-Bake chicken, L/o Dilly Mashed Potatoes, fresh green peas, and onion rice. Link to comment
Buttercup Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Today Pa and the youngins are sick.. So for lunch I warmed up a jar of chicken soup (Darlene's) I added barley, rice and noodles. For supper little dd and I made pizza wraps.. Tortilla shells, pizza sauce, mozz cheese, microwave 40 seconds and eat. It's just been one of those lazy days. Link to comment
gardeningmouse Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Oooo... I have to remember that one for our little one. She loves pizza and is very adamant about helping in the kitchen when I'm making dinner. That would be something neither of us would get frustrated making. Tonight was another easy night... tuna noodle casserole! Since my husband complained we were always eating "baby food" (I was always trying to make meals our toddler would like and eat), I started alternating nights of "adult food" with toddler friendly food. So last night we had chinese rice, pepper chicken, and chow mein w/ stirfry veggies. Link to comment

Cat Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have to make a huge batch of chili for tomorrow at church. Some of the guys will be weatching the Super Bowl, the youth are having a game party, and who knows how many of the gals will join 'em...? So we'll probably have chili tonight. But then I have a big bowl of seafood salad and another of 5-Cup salad, so I guess we can all just nibble, if we like. Link to comment
