dinner tonight was something i've named soup reincarnated
i had made homemade chicken noodle soup because scott was sick. we ate that yesterday. today, we had more soup, and when i looked at it for supper, it just wasn't what i wanted. so i added veggies then cooked the broth down. i layered crushed crackers in the bottom of a pan, sprinkled shredded cheese on that, then layered the soup, crackers and cheese. put it in the oven until the cheese melted on top. matthew loved it. i enjoyed it. and nothing was wasted, we got veggies, and scott got 3 back to back meals of chicken "soup" for what ails him.
Today after work I fired up the grill~ patted out some hamburgers and threw them on with some hotdogs, and hot links,, and breakfast porkchops with a slice of pinapple on top, made 'tater salad and tuna salad,, I think we are set for the next few nights,,

I was in the recipe archives on the old site the other night and I printed out lots of recipes from Cindy's crockpot thread. I was so excited! I know that I had looked at them before and planned to print some but just never did it. I have the cabbage rolls in the crockpot as we speak. I went grocery shopping yesterday after work and bought all of the ingredients to make 4 of the recipes. We are eating out of the crockpot all week! It is so nice to come home from work and have it ready. I just did the prep work last night before bed because I don't get up early enough in the morning to do it before work!
The other night I served homemade bruschetta (tons of garlic) with fresh-baked breadsticks, and a big salad with grilled veggies and asiago cheese. Rave reviews from the family, but my men were hungry later—no meat in that meal! Next time I'll have to throw them a steak, too.
I'm grilling up some burgers tonight. I try and do them about once a week. I usually sneak a fresh tomato a sweet pepper, and a garlic clove or two into the meat.
these kids have no idea how good they're eating when they eat my burgers or meatloaf.

Cricket I do the same. I grate up carrots and squash in my spaghetti sauces. It's amazing what you can grate in things with one of those $10 electric mini choppers. It grinds it into a paste.

I had a hankering from some fried potatoes and called Johnny and asked him if he wanted to meet me at the Waffle House. He had already COOKED fried potatos. Boy, were they great.
