PoGo Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I took some of the pork I had canned, poured the juice into a pan, let it simmer then made it into gravy...put the pork back in and let it simmer some more. Served it over rice with a side of green beans. It was so tasty! mmmmm delicious. My husband gave his stamp of approval, told me it was an excellent dinner! Link to comment
Stephanie Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Last night...even though I don't usually do this in hot weather...I just had a hankerin' for chili! It was sooo good. I did some chili beans in the crock pot all day and then added the rest of the stuff and served it over corn chips, topped with cheese and jalepenos for me! Link to comment
DenimDaze Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I filled my gas tank(which was down to 1/4) and filled a 5 gallon plastic tank. I swore the whole way home in the car and made store brand mac-n-cheese with peas cooked in it for a very cheap dinner. Don't let your tank get less then 1/2 empty, the cost of filling it is too painful! Link to comment
TractorDiva Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Tonight will be leftovers: roasted turkey breast, zucchini baked with parmesan crumb topping, and the last of the homemade sourdough bread. Might steam some snap peas to go with it. They are coming in good right now and so tasty. Link to comment
Buttercup Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Wow there sure hasn't been many meals being fixed lately! What's everyone fixing for summer meals?

It's good to know I'm not the only one here who doesn't always cook a five-course meal from scratch. I mean I *can*, I just don't usually *want* to, especially when my son loves Moe's so much...

JCK88 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Tonight I made butternut squash soup from broth and squash I canned and we had melted cheese toast with it. It is hot out, but somehow that soup made us feel cool, LOL Link to comment

Jeepers Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I had spaghetti-o's and then a bowl of cereal. I live alone. It gets interesting. Link to comment
DenimDaze Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 The kids and I finished cleaning the garage and cleaned our aging wood deck. The air in both places smells much better. There is a decent sized stack of trash waiting for pickup too. So, I ordered a pizza(hawaiian) and wings. We worked hard yesterday and today so we had a treat. It was delicious. Link to comment

Did you eat the spaghetti-o's out of the can? I was on a tight deadline and got caught in my office eating ravioli out of the can at my desk, LOL! Got a big thumbs up from the two young and single maintenance guys who saw me! Link to comment
Tracie Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 LOL I'm thinking sloppy joes tonight. I'm freezer surfing, and found buns and beef. Link to comment

Got a big thumbs up from the two young and single maintenance guys who saw me! Nope, not this time. It was the small microwave size and since I had to remove the lid anyway I figured I'd get fancy and take that extra 30 seconds and heat it up. It's those little things that make my life so special.

Cat Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 **Makes note for the "Useless Products" thread... "spaghetti-os"** I was saved by Pizza Hut tonight. I made a *big* batch of Alfredo sauce, part to freeze and part for supper with leftover grilled chicken pieces, mushrooms, and pasta. I didn't have as much Parmesan cheese as I thought I did. So I used all the leftover packets of dried cheese that Pizza Hut offers with their pizzas for take-out. I had been saving them for "What If". I guess it was "What If" tonight!! Turned out just fine!!! Link to comment
Tracie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 is pancakes a bad dinner? that's what I want. Link to comment
Stephanie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Sounds good to me!!! As a matter of fact, I may join you, my family loves to have breakfast for supper and we've got an abundance of eggs and I have some smoked sausage too! Link to comment
brightblessings5 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Originally Posted By: Tracie is pancakes a bad dinner? that's what I want. Sounds good to me! My family loves to do them for dinner. Waffles and breakfast burritos are also big hits and nice and quick! Link to comment
Tracie Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Woot - thanks for letting me know I'm not a bad mom for doing that. we had blueberry pancakes with chicken maple sausage. Hubby's proud that the blueberries came from his garden. DS was elated. :-D we'll have to do that more often! Link to comment
serendipity Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Mmmm, blueberry pancakes! We had fettuccine alfredo, yum! Link to comment
TractorDiva Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The last ham hock from the previous pigs (we have two fresh hogs in the freezer now, so I have been trying to use up the last of the previous batch.) with some fresh blackeye peas (I traded two large zucchini for the bag of fresh picked peas), and skillet corn bread with honey butter (store butter mixed with organic local honey).

Vic303 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Tonight was a special dinner. DH was just off a week of pager duty which has him into doubletime already this paycycle. So I went to the butcher shop & got two properly THICK ribeyes (we're talkin' about 2# of beef!), and some fresh sourdough bread. Got some salad together with a feta vinaigrette dressing (good on bread too). Grilled the steaks up to perfection (8min//side for his, 4min/side for mine) with some Chicago seasoning, and butter-worcestershire sauce basting. Shiner Black for a tasty beverage. Dessert will be fresh strawberries on little shortcakes with vanilla ice cream on top. (Dessert is for later after we recover from dinner!) Link to comment
