What's cooking?

Best attitude!

have fun

I'm at my son's making homeade pasta fagioli for supper when he gets home from work. I thought I'd give him a break because he always makes dinner on Tuesdays when we come.

I am sure he will appreciate it greatly.

Thank you. We will have fun. Nice group. Varied ages.

sounds good


Made a paprika chicken stew by Rachael Ray...it's def a keeper DELISH!

Great attitude, Jan, and it sounds good to me!

Jen, that does sound good!

We had to eat and run at Mike's because Hank's golf got rained out and he wanted to drive home in daylight. We just barely made it. Mike has a lot of leftovers and that was fine with him :)

Here's the recipe if anyone want to try it, I didn't do the peirogies with it though but mashed potatoes(put the stew right on top...YUMMY)

oh yeah and I cut down the tomatoes to about 1/4 of a cup and added more chicken broth I didn't want it too tomatoey

Looks good, Jen. I'll have to try it, s o o n!!

Chicken stew looks good, but I would also like it with less tomatoes....not a big fan of tomato sauce....Louise, you are a good Mom helping out your son! Sorry Hank's game was a washout!

Lasagna rolls, took a pan to Davids last night too.

I'm making lasagna for Mother's Day....about a dozen folks will gather here.....

YUMMM, lasagna rocks!!!

Was asked to bring a breakfast casserole to a Mother's Day breakfast at church. Gotta go through recipes.

One of my fav breakfast casseroles is to layer grits, crumbled sausage, scrambled eggs then sprinkle with cheese.

lazy again.. turkey sandwich on garlic bread

Heating the stuffed artichokes my mom brought - yum!! Salad too.

After signing final documents for selling my dad's mobile home and handing over the keys (dad has Alzheimer's and is in an assisted living facility now), we went out to lunch at a restaurant in the Southern Tier of WNY called "Aunt Millie's". The food is very good, but they are famous for their pastries. We brought home Napoleans that were about a foot around, cream puffs with chocolate topping that were just as big, and 'brownie towers' that were about 6 inches square - two brownies with a peanut butter cream filling and fudge frosting. These deserts should last us at least 5 days. ☺

Oh man I haven't had lasagna in ages!
Made another Rachael Ray recipe, sirloin steak in a light gravy over orzo , peas and salad with homemade dressing

I love pasta & peas

Roast beef with baked potato and mutter paneer. (I cheated and used an Indian box mix for the m.p.)

what in the world is mutter paneer?

Victor, I will kill for stuffed artichokes! Debi, that breakfast casserole sounds yummy....Dave, sorry about your Dad, but hopefully he will get excellent care.....my DH loved Napoleons....anything with sugar!

Thanks for the recipe, Jen. I agree with you and Marilyn on the tomatoes.

Debi, that breakfast casserole does spund good, even for the only Southerner in the world that doesn't care for grits. LOL. If I'm going to eat carbs, they have to be really worth it. :). But buried in that casserole, I'd be ok with them.

Dave, those sound sinfully wonderful, along with Victor's Mom's stuffed artichokes. What was the stuffing, Victor? I love artichokes. .....and Lasagna, which is unlucky for me with my carb sensitivity.

I really never cared for grits until I ate them mixed in this casserole.

Bread crumbs with olive oil and seasoning. Yummy, but lots of work.

Nothing, at my wits end and knocking my head. Come growing season will be a different story. I cant belive the prices going up.

Tedee off.

Love grits with syrup(wonder if I can have them anymore since the gluten intolerance)
picked up pizza on the way home from soccer practice

My Dad loved grits.....I think that's why he went to FL every winter! Made Swedish meatballs, noodles, & asparagus tonight.....

My DDIL makes awesome cheesy grits!!

Chicken marinated in balsamic vinegar, sautéed, added fire roasted tomatoes, black beans, asparagus, and orzo.

both dinners sound great!

grits & cheese... girts & butter... they are all good!!!

Yesterday I had to go to my Aunts funeral, my Uncle's side of the family is Lebanese ...we had kibbi, grape leaves, and a few other dishes that I have no idea what they are called. Ever since I was a kid my Uncle Dan's sisters have been trying to fatten me up so they shove the lovely little homemade petit fours and pastries at me. Yesterday was no different. ^_^

Chocolate cake with toasted coconut
baklava
mini eclairs
whoopie pies
date bars
raspberry bars
cheese cakes
carrot cake
pecan tarts
and many more that I couldn't possibly try!!

oh wow Randy would have been in heaven

Brian was ^_^

I am just reading that list.

DGD will be here for dinner so, nothing with egg or nuts.

Just reading that list put on a few pounds!

oh man, gluten overload!!!

Trying to plan community time for church tomorrow, since Mother's Day is Sunday, want to make it a little special

I'm assuming the date bar would come before the whoopie pie?? ;)

putting a pot roast in the crock pot.

LOVE pot roast
