Wow...sorry, Jen...that sounds like misery.

Too tired to cook, had a chicken salad sandwich & a salad.

oven fried chicken and gravy tonight.

Yum.....

Made beef stew for son's family yesterday, decided to make it for myself today.....

I love stew

I made it last weekend. :) Today I made chicken & rice gumbo.

cheesesteaks

I had stew leftovers from the freezer

pork steaks, lima beans and herb and butter rice.

That sounds good! Leftover stew for tonight.

Will be having a huge feast tonight at the in laws house after church

Having my stepdaughter & her DH, my son & his family over tomorrow....just doing soup & sandwiches because everyone will be feasting on Sunday.....

Mom & Dad dropped off the perogies & kielbasa for Sunday.. and brought us REAL pizza!!!!

Mmmm ....does sound delish! I'm making minestrone for tonight.

Stir fry with shrimp, green beans, etc. over rice.
Your soup statements started me salivating for minestrone or portuguese sausage+kale soup. Excuse me while I go add to the shopping list!

I made our Easter dinner today with the family. We had....

Ham, Prime Rib
Mashed taters, sweet taters
Brussel sprouts, corn, yeast rolls
fresh fruit platter: pineapple, black berries, strawberries, watermelon
veggie tray, chips & dips
apple pie, (vanilla ice cream) lemon meringue pie, blackberry cheesecake, and pink lemon aide cookies.

That was a feast! You must be worn out......

yum can't wait for tomorrow.. GF cake is in the oven for my niece.. keep your fingers crossed for me

Did you make it from scratch Allison?

Sounds wonderful Celeste!

Tomorrow is roast crown of pork, pierogis, cole slaw, potatoes, green beans, either cauliflower or broccoli (I haven't decided yet)

Robin, I fell asleep @ 4, shortly after that post. :) Woke up @ 6 fed the dogs, put my jammies on and fell back to asleep @ 10.

yes Jen.. well it fell apart again :(

but it will be a trifle .. she loved it last time.. she said it was the closest tasting GF cake she ever had.. wouldn't know it was GF other than it sticks like a mother to pan & doesn't hold together.. it took almost double the normal cook time as well.. I even used my silicone bunt pan.. it still stuck real bad.. I tried a few pieces last night.. it's really good.. she will be happy.. might try cupcakes to see how it goes with those

2 cups of extra fine brown rice flour
2/3 cup of potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour

and here is the recipe I used (oops don't have it on here.. will post it later.. it's on my phone too)

This recipe came with a pumpkin shape cake pan.. And I really like it

for the icing I always think of adding bourbon to it... never tried it yet though.. and in the trifle I added home made whip cream & mandarin oranges

that red velevet looks good... amazing how many extra ingredients you need to try and get close to real flour.. not sure about the chick pea cake.. gritty no???

DW made quiche with peppers and artichoke hearts. Despite the fact that "real men don't eat quiche", I enjoyed it. I hate to think what that implies...

LOL Too funny Don!!

Glad you slept, Pixie! I was up early, hand grating the potatoes for kugli....just took it out of the oven. Spending Easter at the farm, have no idea what we're having, but my son said he was making Lithuanian sausage & sauerkraut.....he's turned into a traditionalist...who knew!

Just put the ham and turkey in the oven.
Mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, corn, pineapple, rolls.
Strawberries and raspberries.
Key lime cupcakes and sugar cookies for dessert.

Yum...sounds like our dinner, except we had lasagna as well......

was a great day with family again.. food was good.. even the Rachel Ray drunkin pasta with kale.. I added some asparagus too.. but all the polish stuff always rocks.. way too much food as always.. but I really enjoyed the day.. and I got to meet my sisters new BF.. and he is the only one I ever met with her.. that I liked off the bat.. YEAH!!

how long is shrimp cocktail good for??.. just realized my sister left the tray in the house that doesn't eat any seafood.. LOL

Will pass it off on a neighbor I guess

DW made Paprikash for Easter and visiting DGD kicked in with a mess of chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I think they are trying to start a new non-ham tradition.

I would miss ham on Easter.....not sure if that shrimp is good....anything that stays out for a few hours gets dumped here......

Ham sandwich for breakfast, I make an extra pan of rolls for sandwiches.

Yeah if you don't finish it by the next day, in the garbage it goes(then right outside cause it's gonna stink!)

Oven def on it's way out, hubby needs to fix it or get me a new one!......was supposed to be on 250 but temp was only 100....pork roast had to be finished on the grill....very tasty though!

thanks ... I didn't think they lasted long
