Percysgirl Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 TOnight was turkey burgers, cooked carrots, and chips and some of my homemade Annie's salsa. Link to comment
Cecilia Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Turkey must be the theme tonight. I made a whole turkey with stuffing. Link to comment
furbabymom Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Tonight we'll be having hamburger casserole. Link to comment
Shandy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Tonight will be round steak in gravy with onions and mushrooms cooked for 2.5 hours. So tender. Garden fresh sliced tomatoes. Green beans too, I think. Cottage cheese. Either chilled pineapple or chilled cantelope. Is that how you spell cantaloup? It looks weird either way. And if someone's garden will allow and they will share with us, some tender, tiny yellow crookneck squash, steamed and then covered with butter and salt and pepper. And Jillian's famous zucchini bread for dessert, from zucchini she's she's grating today. I hate cooking, but I love the idea of seeing a table covered with good food. Link to comment
Campy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 The DW is going to have her "usual" - a salad with one cut up breaded baked chicken breast and 1/4 - 1/2 of a home grown tomato. On the salad she is going to have Caesar dressing (I am not certain if it will be the regular dressing or the fat-free). The DW is 5'2", 125 lbs and CONSTANTLY states she is "fat". On the occasions we do eat out she ALWAYS has either the broiled scrod or the baked scrod. (I keep wondering which is going to show up on the DW first - the feathers or the scales and gills. ) I am most likely going to have a frozen pizza for dinner. (Yeah me, the amateur gourmet cook. It gets very discouraging spending several hours making a really nice meal and having the DW say "No thank you. All I am going to have is my salad." FWIW - I really am a gourmet cook. I have cooked the meals at several catered events. Every time I cook for this caterer (I cook for him part time and for under the table wages) he receives nothing but compliments on the meal.

Stephanie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Oh dear Campy, I wish I had the discipline that your wife shows and the food that you cook! Believe me, we'd make short order of that delicious food. Link to comment
Fritz_Monroe Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Tonight is taco night. We have gotten away from the packets of seasoning and I make that from bulk spice. We also no longer use the cans of refried beans, we now use Breadbecker's refried beans. It's more expensive than using just beans, but we have yet to be happy with refried beans from dried beans. Next step is to get a good recipe for Spanish rice. Tomorrow is going to be split pea burgers. This time we won't be using the food processor. The problem last time was the texture was too fine.

Tracie Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Tonight was blueberry pancakes with chicken/maple sausages. I (gasp, horror) tried using margarine and dry milk in the pancakes in order to economize, which seemed a little absurd since I used Whole Foods pancake mix, organic sausage and real maple syrup... Aidan's decided pancakes for breakfast is the best thing ever. Link to comment
Cat Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I figured I'd be smart and make one meal's cooking last for two. So I browned ground beef, added chopped onion, green and red peppers, and cooked until they were nice. Added one can condensed tomato soup (undiluted) and a half can of commercially-canned tomato sauce (gotta use it up ), one can of water, seasonings to taste, then added Minute Rice. (Some things I just eyeball sometimes.) Stir and cover. (Serve with grated cheese.) Then I dumped the rest of the tomato sauce all over my floor and cupboards when I knocked it with my elbow. While cleaning that up, I nearly burned the supper because it needs to be stirred occasionally and I was busy. Everyone was so hungry by then that they ate the entire pot, so I won't have stuffed peppers tonight as planned. So tonight's supper is thawing... pork chops. Link to comment
PoGo Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Dinner is simple tonight. Broiled halibut served with butter & lemon, garden fresh tomatoes, garden fresh zucchini and crookneck cooked in bacon grease with onion, bread & butter, ice tea. For dessert, we'll have garden fresh watermelon, purchased from the farmer's market. Link to comment

onepoormomma Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Started out as meatloaf, which my hubby decided to patty up and grill, served with my newly canned homemade ketchup, garden tomatoes, relish and fresh potatoes and onions from the "Potato farm:?)" Got 200 lbs potatoes and 50 lbs onions. Hope that'll get us through most of winter... Link to comment

PoGo Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 My husband is making dinner tonight. We're having grilled hamburgers and hot links, left over potato salad and potato chips. Link to comment
furbabymom Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Tonight was grilled dinner - marinated chicken, potatoes, and pattypan squash. Grilled dinner is my favorite - easy, quick, and almost no cleanup! Link to comment
Rezgirl Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Gonna try out beerocks. Never had it before, but it looks interesting. I grew 1 lonely head of cabbage in the garden, and I think I'll use it for this. Link to comment
PoGo Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Lasagna, garden salad, garlic bread, ice tea and chocolate cake. Link to comment
Cat Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 beerocks???? **looking longingly at PoGo's chocolate cake...** Hubby was SO surprised tonight! I had thawed what I thought was the ends and odd trimmings from the whole strip steak piece I got on sale a couple of months ago. I figured I'd marinate and bake them. Turned out it was the larger package of steaks. So I grilled them and he had *steak* in the middle of the week!!! It's rare enough anyway... I just got a deal on those that I couldn't pass up. A potato casserole and broccoli with butter rounded out the meal. I asked him if he wanted leftovers or a ham sandwich for his lunch tomorrow... Link to comment
PoGo Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Beerocks are good, Cat. I used to make them. Link to comment
Genoa Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I had to google "Beerocks" to find out for sure what they are. I've made these several times, but I didn't know they had a name. I use ground beef, instead of shredded steak, plus onions, cabbage, and salt and pepper (lots of pepper). Thanks for teaching me the name for the food we always enjoy. Link to comment
