It's dinner time! Whatcha eatin'?

Made turkey sausage with white beans. Was real good. Onions, garlic, red pepper, black pepper, chicken broth and bay leaf.

does sound good

Tacos!

I keep all kinds of canned beans on hand and we make a salad with them. I open and rinse two cans of beans, shred carrots, cut up green pepper and radish, sometimes celery, hard boiled eggs, cooked rice, cooked corn and use cottage cheese instead of salad dressing. It's filling and healthy!

Interesting that many of you are cooking with beans...great source of fiber...love white bean soup....maybe I'll make some for tonight's supper.

Yes - and I get tired of rice and potatoes. Nice alternative.

Don't forget noodles too.
Anyone use polenta?

Today I sautéed onion,parsnips and celery, then bacon. I wilted some collards added chicken broth and the veggies and some cannellini beans and they are all simmering now and it smells wonderful!

Sounds very southern.....and YUMMY!

Just put a pasta casserole in the oven that has rotini, sauteed onions and garlic, tomato sauce, ground beef and mozzarella on top.

I keep beans on hand all the time, for quick bean n cheese quesadillas, mix with some pasta or rice and your choice of sauce, etc...handy for a quick meal.

I love getting ideas from you all. Wish I had some cornbread to go with it.

for some reason hubby doesn't like casseroles....I know he's crazy


tonight is pierogies and kielbasa

Got a good corn bread recipe?

I have a recipe for a corn casserole that is FANTASTIC!!!!

Burgers & a salad

I use the Jiffy corn bread. But do it in a cast iron fry pan. Mom always made sure the pan was preheated well so the batter would sizzle when poured into it. Surely do miss her.

I made burgers too

:)

oh I used that grill mates hamburger seasoning.. good stuff!!

((((hugs))))) Jan...it really does it better, though...it will be 2 years this Christmas that my mom passed and my heart doesn't hurt so much anymore

It does take several years before the rawness of the pain passes....I remember after my Dad died, our choir sang "This is My Father's World" & I had to get up & leave the choir loft.....

Oh, certain hymns or songs make me tear up, too.

Don't know what will be for dinner tonight.

Leftover white bean & escarole soup....have enough for tomorrow as well......

Yum!

went out for wings

Boiled dinner~ ham

I love soup and make it all winter.
Today its "Orange Soup" made with sweet potatoes ,butternut squash and apples Granny Smiths.
RUTHS SQUASH SOUP (ORANGE SOUP)
1 small diced onion
3 T. unsalted butter or canola oil
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cooking apples, peels, cored and sliced
3 med sized sweet potatoes or squash equivalent (about 1 3/4 lbs) peeled and cut into chunks
2 T. chopped parsley, if you have it
4 cups chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste

In heavy pot, cook onion in oil/butter for 5 minutes over low heat. Stir in spices and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in apples and cook another minute.
Add rest of ingredients, bring to boil, cover and simmer one hour or until all quite tender.

I use immersion blender to puree, and add extra chicken soup if too think. Reheat and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Better the next day after flavors blend.

I've never tried a squash soup, sounds good though.

Any squash will do. I used sweet potatoes and some left over butternut. I also substitutrd fresh ginger for half of the ground.

I've made it several times, & really like it.....

meatloaf for tonight

Spaghetti, meatballs, Italian sausage, sub rolls, Italian bread, and roasted butternut squash with broccoli. Pumpkin bars and sugar cookies for dessert.

Mmmmm....I made boneless ribs, sauerkraut, & apples in the crockpot....baked for the church bazaar...cranberry-pumpkin loaf, & raspberry banana bread...

Boy do we cook!!

Cornbread,use the recipe on the package and add an extra egg. That makes it moist.

Well, I need to get pork chops out of the freezer.

Leaving to do that now :o)

Sounds wonderful, Robin

Something with chicken tonight

Leftovers and sautéed cabbage.

love cabbage

I usually hate Brussel sprouts, but made them the other day, & they weren't bitter....I soaked them in salted water for about an hour, par boiled them, then marinated them....yum.

I LOVE brussel sprouts, the little ones are nice and sweet


I made a chicken stir fry with rice

Always one of my favs!

Love them! Jen - please post any stuffed cabbage recipe you really like.
