I’m back from the land of nod! Well mostly, still a little slow, but getting better all the time. First up, let’s take care of the who won the Classic Southern Desserts cookbook. Random.org chose commenter #4, more formally known as Melinda. Congratulations and watch your inbox for an email asking for your mailing address. I promise, I’m way too busy to do any serious stalking.
I have honestly missed adding recipes to this site. Sure, it’s a giant pain in the rear to juggle cooking, taking photos, and writing down my random recipe tweaks, but it’s my kind of fun. Yeah, yeah not normal, I’ve heard it all before.
My diet is still restricted to tender foods. /sigh
- Monday – Stewed chicken, risotto (this is an experiment, it may or may not show up on the site), wilted spinach
- Tuesday – C.O.R.N.
- Wednesday – Pot roast, carrots & celery, mashed potatoes
- Thursday – Mini cottage pies (hello Mr. Muffin tin), mushy peas (maybe, I reserve the right to chicken out of this one, for no other reason than mint isn’t my favorite)
- Friday – Return of Homemade Pizza Night (Pizza crust, pizza sauce)
- Saturday – C.O.R.N.
- Sunday – Turkey and dumpling soup, tossed salad (if I’m up for raw vegetables by then)
While I’ve done a lot of my recuperating while goofing around online, I feel as though I ‘ve been out of touch and need to catch up.
What’s for dinner?
Submitted to Chive Talkin’s Healthy Menu Monday & Organizing Junkie’s Menu Monday.
Welcome back. That's the second pot roast I've seen this Menu Monday. It's making me really hungry for pot roast! http://www.halleethehomemaker.com/2010/05/menu-mo…
Maybe roasts are on sale this week?
I pulled mine from the freezer.
My roast was on sale! lol We had that for dinner yesterday.
Monday: leftovers
Tuesday: Paninis
Wednesday: dinner with inlaws
Thursday: meatloaf
Friday: pizzas on the grill
Saturday: date night with hubby
Hamburger Helper (I know…… )
Potato Soup
Meatball subs
Pizza
BBQ pork sandwiches
Tacos
and as many leftovers as I can get my family to eat. 🙂
P.S. Sent you an email a minute ago. Hope it helps.
I'm not in a place to judge. I've been surviving on Ensure and popsicles, starting on Thursday noodles and buttered bread were added to the rotation. Whee!
LOL Well, my daughter helped me plan the menus for this week. So, if she'll eat it, I'll fix it. LOL
You mean I have to cook, too? *giggle*
What are mushy peas?
Mushy peas are British, at least in their original form. They are available canned in England (I have had them). They are slightly different from regular green peas, starchier, are cooked for a longer period and then mashed. Often flavored with mint. You could consider them a variant on refried beans, perhaps.
chicken leg quarters were pulled from the freezer this morning. not sure what will be done with them yet but perhaps something grill-y
Tonight – fish sandwiches w/ frozen breaded fillets and homemade tartar sauce. My son wishes I'd let him have three of these at a time, but I limit him to two.
If I had a grill I'd be using it every day. Every. Single. Day. Makes meals so much easier.
Hamburger gravy over smash potatoes with corn
pork loin and rice
… that is all I have so far, I might have other ideas, but I do not want to make any one cringe
Mon – Pizza (the ordering kind b/c of time constraints)
Tues – Chicken Cutlets
Wednesday – Mahi Mahi, grilled squash, zuchinni and mushrooms in Italian Vinagrette
Thursday – Whatever I have time for before I go bowling, the ladies eat out without me.
Friday – Don't know… Mother in law is coming to town.
Monday breakfast (sausage,eggs,hash browns and toast)
Tuesday Tacos
Wednesday Leftovers
Thursday Roast
Friday Sandwiches
