Comfort food

Ugh.

Happy the strawberries were good!

love our Aldi... they fly at our checkouts.. guess you need NJ speed.. LOL.. Cheese & crackers are great.. soda is cheap for a party.. yogurt is more than 1/2 price.. even the Fage is $1.18 everyday price.. love a bunch of the frozen things.. can't beat bread for $.90 (I think).. Victor it's there own brands most of the time.. but once in a while they have a name brand product.. and it's always cheaper than the regular stores.. the produce is unbeatable... go there all the time.. esp those weeks we might have an extra bill to pay or just a tight week.. doesn't have a huge selection of any one thing.. but we just kept trying a few things here and there and figured out what we liked

Went to diner for lunch and had a gyro, hadn't had 1 in years..soooooo good!!!

Ribs for dinner

We had pot roast last night with turnip, cabbage, carrots, taters and the ending was Apple Pie ala Mode!

Yum....I just took a pot roast out of the freezer......

Oooh - in the mood for pot roast.

Yum, I am too, think I'll take mine out for Wednesday...leftover baked ziti tonight.

anyone have any good gluten free ginger snaps?.. just realized my Easter ham needs to change

Do you want to make your own?

also Lucy's makes good cookies so I'm sure the ginger snaps are just as good

Annie's didn't have good reviews on amazon.. can always try to make my own.. I did find a five star one.. Mary's gone crackers.. and they have them at a store near here.. thinking I will try them this weekend.. but thanks.. was wondering if you knew of a good one already

I'm not a ginger snap fan, had a bad experience with ginger once, so if it has a really strong ginger smell I can't even try it

I love them!

Me too, but make gingerbread cookies more often.

Meatloaf tonight. I use the recipe on the Lipton's Onion Soup mix. We all love it.

That is a good recipe, add a little hot Italian sausage for some extra kick. DH always told me my sisters meatballs were better, even though we used the same recipe until she finally told me that trick.

Always loved my mom's meatballs. Beef, pork and veal makes all the diff. Beef alone never tastes good to me. Same with meatloaf.

I haven't tried all three, actually have never eaten veal.

I don't like veal on its own, but in the ground mix, it's fine.

Chicken tenders, french fires and garden salad..
New recipe I tried tonight....chocolate cake with salted caramel frosting.

CAKE:
2 cups sugar
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

SALTED CARAMEL:
4 tablespoons water
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, kosher or sea

FROSTING:
2 sticks butter
8 ounces or 1 package of Philly cream cheese
5 to 6 cups powdered sugar
1 cup salted caramel (recipe above)

It is an extremely moist, perfect scratch cake, the only beef I have is that I don't care for cream cheese. So I will make this again using a different frosting recipe with no CC. If you like chocolate cake, a cream cheese frosting and caramel... than I think you'll like this combo. Brian did!!!

oh boy Celeste.. that's my kind of stuff!!!

YUM'!!!

That looks delish!!!

I love veal

I guess I should of shipped them out to you guys. ^_^

Looks great!

you could always make more ^_^

LOL Jen!!!

Randy's B-Day is coming up and I half expected to get an email to ship either whoopie pies or scotcheroos. :)

LOL


We had tacos tonight with rice and beans

ooooohhhh you know I won't ASK.. but I will always be happy to receive.. LOL

I just looked at a similar recipe, for Samoa cupcakes, with a salted caramel buttercream frosting.
A good frosting with cream cheese is to make a basic cream cheese frosting, and make sweetened whip cream, about equal parts, then fold them together. It tastes light and not too cheesy.

Chocolate & caramel is always a winner! I love veal, especially Veal Marsala....My Mom would sometimes put raisins in her meatballs...kept them very moist....I will sometimes put capers in.....

That's the same recipe I use for choc cake, I put in a cup coffee instead of water. The caramel sounds great!
Not a veal fan at all...all beef mb for us...

Sloppy Joe's and mac and cheese.

Pulled pork tonight.

I love good veal.. not leather

:)

Prime rib, garlic mashed taters, brussel sprouts and french bread.
