Speaking of.... I make this wonderful, easy veggie dish sometimes. You take raw broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, put them in a small baking dish. Top the veggies with american cheese. Mix some cream of mushroom/or whatever you like soup, with about half can milk. Pour it over the veggies. Top with crispy fried onions. Bake about half hour to 45 minutes. Delicious! In fact, now that I'm thinking about how good that really is, that's what I'll fix for dinner tonight!

And I loves me some sausage. I did some sausage and cheese stuffed jalapeno's once. Delicious. :) Just don't attempt to get the seeds out of them with your bare hands. Ouch! That jalapeno oil will burn like a fire that can't be put out. Lesson learned. lol

In my opinion, anything is good fried, including that fad we went through to fry Twinkies and candy bars (yes, even they're good fried!!), anything with cheese, anything with bacon, and bad things can be made good by drinking a beer along with them.

But for tonight, leftover oriental noodle stir-fry and maybe we'll snack on the little hunk of homemade bread from the weekend. And, maybe also a beer. :-)

Well after a week of eating out and taking in for both me (on vacay) and Mom (sister won't cook)....tonight the brothers are coming for dinner, and to pick up their souvenirs. I've got a 9 lb pork roast slow cooking in the oven, with garlic roasted red potatoes, Sauerkraut that will be browned with the pork grease/juice, apple sauce, and fresh green beans. So glad they are coming, I missed them like crazy!

Boni, that sounds really good! I wish I could be there. :)

I ended up making a beef and cheese casserole tonight. It takes just like a lasagna. I substitute ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese. I also use angus beef. This is so gooey and comforting. YUM!

Beef and Cheddar Casserole:

Ingredients
1-1/4 pound Ground Chuck
1 can 15-ounces Tomato Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
8 ounces, weight Egg Noodles
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1-1/4 cup Small Curd Cottage Cheese (or ricotta)
1/2 cup Sliced Green Onions (less To Taste) (or more)
1 cup Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brown ground chuck in a large skillet. Drain fat, then add tomato sauce. 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Stir, then simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.

Cook egg noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine sour cream and cottage cheese. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Add to noodles and stir. Add green onions and stir.

To assemble, add half of the noodles to a baking dish. Top with half the meat mixture, then sprinkle on half the grated cheddar. Repeat with noodles, meat, then a final layer of cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until all cheese is melted.

Some french bread is good with this.

Omb the recipes on here sound so yummy! Bonichok...pork roast yummy girl you rock!

I make a pork tenderloin with salt, pepper, fennel seed, celery seed, and minced garlic. Broil it. It is great with a green salad and Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts are first boiled until fender crisp,then I saute them in olive oil and a little buter and minced garlic to caramelize the outer leaves. If cholesterol is not an issue for you, fry some bacon and crumble it in with the Brussels sprouts.

Those brussel sprouts are also good with a little preserved lemon chopped-up along with the bacon.

Tonight's dinner roasted in a hot oven for 15 minutes.:
Hake seasoning with olive oil, fresh marjoram, mint, cayenne pepper, topped with thinly sliced tomatoes
Asparagus tossed in olive oil and lemon zest
Sweet potato slices tossed in olive oil, maple syrup, with a little ground cloves

And pickled beets and radishes passed (separately) at the table.

I love it when things can all cook together for the same length of time.

I've never prepared hake before. We all liked it.

sharynmarie, my favorite way to cook brussel sprouts is to roast them until they start caramelizing. No parboiling needed. I love them tossed in a kalbi sauce before roasting. Oh my!

Cap'n add some yeast to that crock and wait a month. You'll have wine. Oh and add more sugar once a week for a higher proof. Bottle it and save it for after your last treatment. That should be around Flag Day.

Last night was pizza. Son requested it and he's the one who prepares it. Start with the huge 5-cheese fresh pizza from Costco. Brush off most of the cheese. Slather on pesto (homemade this time), Canadian bacon (or cooked chicken), lots of fresh mushrooms, sweet pepper slices, chopped tomato, olives if you have some on hand, pineapple if you like it, pile the cheese back on, and add a little more cheese if you are in the mood. Oh my goodness! This is awesome pizza!

Son is away tonight so I made pork tenderloin which Daughter and I like, and Son does not. Used onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, and smoked paprika as a dry rub, sliced, and cooked in cast iron skillet on top of the stove, while brussel sprouts and butternut squash cubes roasted in the oven. Daughter asked if I used honey on the squash. Nope, just olive oil with a little allspice and cinnamon. They were nice and sweet!

Last night I did a slow cooked corned beef, some mac and cheese and yeast rolls. YUM! After almost 6 hours of slow cooking, that roast fell apart and was so juicy! I ate a little, but my boys devoured it.

Since I've gotten older, the less and less l like eating red meat. I do like it, have no problems with it, but for some weird reason I'm just turning off of it more and more, especially these last 3-4 years.

No idea what I'm doing tonight. Probably nothing. My boys can have leftovers.

Cap you would no doubt make your own yeast crust, but we like the convenience of starting with a deli pizza. We sure do it well!

Tonight was another semi-homemade main course. Have you used the fairly new pouches of sauce? It is sort of like pouring cream of mushroom soup over something, but more sophisticated (and expensive). Tonight we had Cambell's Marsala sauce over chicken. Very fast and pretty tasty. We also had a what's-in-the-fridge salad consisting of shredded lettuce, dates, almonds, celery, a few cauliflower and broccoli pieces, and avocado slices with a lemon caper dressing leftover earlier in the week.

I like making my own sauces, but sometimes a shortcut is welcome.

SA, this is the first year in a long time I didn't do at least one corned beef brisket in March. Glad you enjoyed yours!

yea jeanne. spoiled on the whole wheat bread.
im reaching for the stars tonight. boiling some chicken gizzards to get em tender , then ill fry em..
s-a, i used to make " potato " donuts into a braided form. had apple bits in them. not much different from a big cinnamon roll but the braided form has more surface areas for glaze.
no one to cook for anymore so chicken organs are fine with me. they should serve me well with hepc tx and anemia looming..
