Lazy cook nite here. Fresh hamburgers with melted cheese, lettuce ,tomato, onion,and sour pickle , with mayonaise on the warm bun. Only took one to fill my gut.......
Made fresh pumpkin bars earlier, and we werent too hungry. We was eating that.
I do meal planning for two weeks at a time (and do my shopping on payday!) If it's any help this is what we're having for the next two weeks:
-Turkey Roll-ups (thick sliced deli smoked turkey with Stove Top dressing smeared on top, then rolled up, placed in the crock pot and pour a can of turkey gravy on top.) -Fish Tacos with black beans and rice -Sloppy Joes -Pork Roast and roasted potatoes -Hamburger Helper (baseball game night for my son!) -Hot Dogs & baked beans -Tacos with refried beans and mexican rice -Baked Penne pasta with garlic bread and salad -Red beans, rice and sausage with corn bread -Burgers and tots -Stuffed Baked potatoes -Homemade Pizza -Tortellini and garlic bread
The list is not in order! I usually decide what I'm going to make early in the day so I can set out meat or what not to defrost.
I'm thinking sausage roll ups. I have a ton of pancake mix left over from breakfast yesterday so I'll combine my left over sausage and hamburger. Make shapes like link sausage and then cover them in the pancake batter and then fry them on medium until done. A little sweet corn on the side and some of my chocolate cherry cake and dinner is complete. I love it when I don't have to waste my leftovers.

"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Jiffy Sounds great ............DId you also make scollaped corn with it ? That is what I do ........in a separate dish. Tators in one and corn in another....
Whats your secret on barbaque? remove the skins and what is your dip?????????
I'm having soft tacos for the third night in a row. With the small amount of meat in this diet if I make up a pound of anything I'm eating it 3 or 4 times. Gets a little boring. Although I don't have to cook as often.
Next on my cooking agenda is homemade sweet and sour chicken. A friend gave me the recipe. I'm not looking forward to deboning the chicken but I am looking forward to the sweet and sour chicken. It is really good.
I made these Shaker Pork Sandwiches for dinner tonight. They were awesome. I sprinkled the meat with pepper, sage and garlic salt. Instead of baking in an oven, I tossed a mostly defrosted loin into the crockpot for 7-8 hours on low with about 2 Tablespoons of soy sauce and 1/4 cup of water. I prepped the sauce on the stove and tossed it into the crock with the pork I'd shredded. It was fantastic! Sooo good, even without the sauce. Mmmmmm, looking forward to leftovers. Served with corn on the cob, fresh salad, and some chips.
Chicken Florentine Casserole is what we had for dinner last night. Served with fresh bread and butter and corn. It was fabulous. I did find out that I really don't like canned spinach, so will use frozen next time. The kids hate spinach, I've tried dressing it up and they won't eat it. They gobbled this down and had seconds!! I was floored.
That's right, Dodge. The whole time I was thinking "na-na-na boo-boo, I made you eat spinach and you don't know it and I'm not gonna tell you. Na-na-boo-boo!" (maybe I spend too much time hanging out with kids??
What we had for supper tonite. Spiral Ham.......warmed in the fry pan. Apple sauce Fresh made Mash tators corn cabbage pepper onion Butter fried bread with new grape jelly.
Dessert was my cookies I just baked...Ole fashioned tea cookies..

He does remind me..... Better than going out to dine.. We do it sometime, but he always says nothing like my homecooking.......He is also in on some of the cooking......
OH barb--my DH is not the type to go out to eat much--although his reason is the $$ and he has to get cleaned up first.
Usually we only go out to eat on Sunday for Lunch--but that is so his mom has something different to look at. (his words) I have a notion when she is gone that will stop. but last Sunday DH mom wanted to buy our supper and it did not happen so he told her we would go out to eat on Wednesday after church--
it is nice your DH helps---mine will if I ask--but by the time I tell him what to do and how--i could of done it myself---
