carr Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I grabbed sandwich on the way home from VBS decorating. DH had leftover squash casserole. We both worked late and in the heat. Both. So. Tired. Quote
snapshotmiki Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I made egg rolls from scratch and pork fried rice. Baked a roll of choc. chip type cookies that I had in the freezer. Apparently feeling ambitious today! Quote
Daelith Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Tonight we're going to have fried chicken tenders, green beans with potatoes and fried squash from our garden. I sautee up some Vidalia onions on the side to add to my squash. DH and his dislike for onions. Quote
Momo Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Tonight is stuffed green peppers in tomato sauce, mashed spuds, fried green maters and spinach salad. Quote
The WE2's Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Turkey burgers, mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. Trying to rotate some foods out of the frig, freezer and pantry. Quote
Jeepers Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I opened a jar of steak I had canned last fall. It was so tender when I stuck a fork in it it fell apart. It was a little dry but nothing a little steak sauce didn't fix. It's texture was more like roast beef than a juicy steak. But still good. It was nice to have when I was craving some steak. I have 10 jars left and will definitely can more to have on hand when they are gone. I'm not a big meat eater and to be honest, I enjoy the steak sauce as much as the meat. I'm not a 'foodie' or a picky eater. I grilled them for a few minutes before I canned them so I could get the 'grill marks' on them. Waste of time. The lines disappeared when canned. I also marinated them before I canned them. I'm not sure that made a difference either but I'll marinate again. Quote
Annarchy Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Pizza, pizza... Home made. BTW, thanks for the tips about bulk yeast. I'm impressed how much I cook with it and there's so much left. Quote
snapshotmiki Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 BBQ chicken cornbread casserole and squash puppies! Quote
finklet Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 We had fresh green beans with ham, rosemary chicken in the crockpot, and homemade mashed potatoes. It was a good meals with some leftovers. Quote
Daelith Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 I tried my hand at some homemade pork fried rice last night. Not bad. Needs a little work, but will make again. Quote
Daelith Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Left over BBQ spaghetti and some garlic bread. Quote
Jeepers Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I've been eating a lot of tomato and mayo sandwiches lately. That and a piece of watermelon will do it for me this evening. Quote
TheCG Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Hamburger gravy and mashed potatoes, assuming I can get somebody to peel potatoes for me (hard with a wrist brace on). Will also do sauteed coleslaw mix. Quote
TheCG Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Hamburger gravy and mashed potatoes, assuming I can get somebody to peel potatoes for me (hard with a wrist brace on). Will also do sauteed coleslaw mix. Yup, it worked. Kids even like the sauteed coleslaw. Apparently, it tasted like spinach. Yeah, I don't get it either. Sauteed it for a while on medium in bacon grease, then added a bit of soy sauce and salt. Quote
The WE2's Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Took a trip to a couple of our favorite plain people stores to re-stock some things. Stopped at the Amish restaurant buffet for a late lunch/early supper. We'll eat "something" later in the evening...a snack or something. Quote
Momo Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 DH is happy with the first two items. He likes any meal with spuds! We are having stuffed cabbages in tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots. Quote
Annarchy Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Made Mex. cornbread, put a layer in a cake pan, added a green chicken enchilada mix, cheese, and another layer of cornbread mix on top. Not bad. Might try it again. Quote
The WE2's Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Chicken chunks stir fried with cauliflower/broccoli/carrots and for dessert pitted some fresh cherries drizzled with whipped topping and sprinkled with diced roasted almonds. Quote
Daelith Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Going to grill a piece of top sirloin and make quesadillas tonight. Quote
The WE2's Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Rib Eye, mashed potatoes and green beans. Quote
kappydell Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Actually my 'prepper meal' today was for brunch. We dug up one of our sweet potato vines to see if anything was underneath. Besides the sweet potatoes, I also harvested the leaves and leaf stems on the vine . The vine was too tough to be used as food but I twisted it into a wreath and hung it to dry to test its effectiveness for basketry. The leaves, however, I sliced up into strips; the leaf stems I cut up like green beans, about 1 inch long pieces. Then I made a stir fry and it was delicious! Sweet potato leaf stems, greens, precooked wheat berries, and chopped green onions and I had a feast! No wonder sweet potato greens are so popular in the Phillipines - they are good! Quote
The WE2's Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Fried Okra, sliced tomatoes, quinuoa (sp?) with lentils and peas, and enchiladas. Cleaning out the frig! Quote
The WE2's Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 Shared a small beef steak, fried Okra, small salad and shared a sweet potato. Quote
