so, our soup, which is now simmering, consists of the foLLowing:

chicken stock
1 pound of pan fried chicken breasts in oLive oiL and chicken spice
1 Large, m-f'er carrot
1 fairLy Large, m-f'er shaLLot
2 Large staLks of ceLery
1 orange beLL pepper sLiced into smaLL strips
4 cLoves of thinLy sLiced garLic

and spiced to taste with saLt, pepper, cumin, and hot paprika.

so what are you having?

7. Reheating those damn enchiladas

that I made Wednesday. I used shredded beef and sharp cheddar with some purple onion. But man the red sauce is HOT. HOT, I tell you. It takes a mountain of sour cream just to eat them. And I have some rice and black beans from Zaterans to go with it. I might take it all down to my mom's house and see if my brothers will finish it for me. Lord oh dear.

Not a food snob, just love to eat.

[JackBeck]

13. Swiss steak's been bubbling in the Crock Pot for hours.

Jon's about to make the mashed potatoes, as I type.

Chicken soup sounds mahvahlous, as well.

[NMDemDist2]

19. recipe please

i get awesome Swiss steak at my local butcher....

[JackBeck]

22. Jon used shell steak.

Threw in a jar of Ragu (omg...I feel a flamewar being born) with mushrooms and onions, some oregano and garlic salt, cooked for 6 hours, and voila. So easy I think I couldn't have even messed it up. I'm the dishwasher, fwi. ;)

[NMDemDist2]

23. ahh, did he slice em up first or leave em whole? did he brown em before he

tossed em in?

a red sauce sounds yummy though.....

[JackBeck]

26. He cut up the meat into large chunks before he browned it.

And he only browned the meat for about a minute on both sides.

I've never had this before and the red sauce was yummy, especially with the peas and mashed potatoes.

:thumbsup:

[NMDemDist2]

28. cool! tell him thanks for the inspiration!

:hi:

[JackBeck]

30. Will do.

If it wasn't for him I'd be eating PBJ sandwiches every night for dinner.

:pals:

[Roon]

36. My roommate is an excellent cook

if it wasn't for him, I would be eating TV dinners every night.

[grasswire]

15. comfort food -- salmon patties & baked potatoes

The varsity and JV cross country runners in the house have had an exhausting weekend and will be ready for this, one of their favorite meals. Green beans, honey crisp apples, blueberry muffins. Homework and a reasonable bedtime. Wash the uniforms, pack the lunches...a woman's work is never done.

[judaspriestess]

16. We are actually eating meat today

Since we are not 100% vegetarian, we do have occasional meat.

We are having baby back ribs
my bomb ass potato salad
Borracho Beans
and grilled mango with honey

[opiate69]

17. My youngest and I are both sick. so my MIL is making us chicken & dumplings

Good stuff.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. I just requested my Mom's Chicken and Dumplings recipe!!

She has ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's disease, so I requested her chicken and dumplings recipe, along with those for macaroni salad with chicken, deviled eggs, spaghetti sauce with 3 kinds of meat, scalloped potatoes...I'm thinking of more to get for the future...

:)

21. When my brother and SIL got married,

my mom wrote out all of my brother's favorite mom-cooked meal recipes on index cards and gave them to my SIL. They live clear on the other side of the country, so he can't have her home-cooked meals but once or twice a year.

It was nice.

[Shakespeare]

20. blistering hot chicken stir-fry

I'm in the mood for a little heat in my food today. :hi:

[yellowdogintexas]

32. I may make that tonight, if I feel up to cooking. or a very HOT chicken soup

and I mean HOT with chile pepper, not stove heat

[WinkyDink]

24. Swordfish, broccoli, and pesto linguine (I just didn't feel like fettucine!).

[LaraMN]

25. I passed out at about 3pm, so the hubster ordered pizza.

:rofl:

He knew better than to wake me up. The primary reason I was tired was that he woke me up in the middle of the night, making weird whistling sounds in his sleep. I had to go sleep on the couch, so I've been tired and my back hurts. Also, we went to the Down Syndrome Buddy Walk, and I had to chase Jack around a big convention center, because he was on a MISSION to "get" a guy in a stuffed dog suit.

:P

[Left Is Write]

27. We had ham glazed with a mixture of apple jelly, brown sugar, and honey...

We also had mashed potatoes (mashed with butter, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper and garlic, spooned into a casserole dish and topped with more butter and paprika and baked until hot throughout), green and wax beans, and toasted homemade bread.

Coffee is brewing now to have with dessert: warm gingerbread topped with homemade hard sauce.

This was definitely NOT a low-cal meal!

[1gobluedem]

29. Burgers for my household

Ground round in the George Foreman grill with low-fat chips and some coleslaw. Very simple but very tasty too.

[AlCzervik]

31. a piece of left over pizza, the leftover salad from last night---soggy but yeah i ate it

and then i had 2 of my current favorite cookies, ginger and lemon creme.

[MissMillie]

33. I made fried chicken

something I don't do very often because, um.... it's very fattening.

My son loved it.


We had wild mushroom rice pilaf and sliced cukes and 'maters to go with it.

[meegbear]

34. grilled angus sirlion patty grilled with homemade garlic salt ...

and zucchini slow cooked in (jarred) tomato sauce.

This will be my dinner for the week.

[LeftyMom]

35. I had taquitos from Flaco's with a spicy avocado salsa.

I look forward to WVD all year for the food.
