The WE2's Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Roast in pressure cooker with 'taters, onions & carrots. Simple but quick since we usually head out right after supper to water garden. Quote Link to comment
Canned Nerd Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Opened a jar of my canned chicken, some canned potatoes, and whipped together some chicken gravy from a homemade mix. Nothing special other than the chicken and potatoes were from 2008 and they were as flavorful as the first day they were canned. Quote Link to comment
out_of_the_ordinary Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yesterday, I just had green beans for supper. It was so hot and humid that I just didn't feel like eating. DH worked outside all day and wasn't very hungry, either. He just had salad. Today, we're having salmon filets on the grill. I'll make a veggie to go with that. Grilling will be good as it won't heat up the house more. Quote Link to comment
Deerslayer Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm thinking bacon, eggs and biscuits. Our family favorite is breakfast for supper Quote Link to comment
Ambergris Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Marinating some chicken thighs in salad dressing and have some potatoes in the slow cooker outside. This would be a good day for salad, but there isn't any left after yesterday. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Had some left-over cold pasta salad (regular lettuce mixture with bow tie pasta & sesame seed oil drizzled over it) along with seasoned meat balls and baked beans. Needed to use up some things before we go camping for the holidays. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Chocolate stuffed oreos and milk. The supper of champions. Quote Link to comment

kappydell Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Lambs quarters pulled and set aside when weeding the new strawberry bed...a nice 4-oz steak, corn (saved some for fish bait later) and mashed potatoes & gravy. Very simple and uneventful, except for the greens...they were so good I was GLAD my room mate does not eat greens! Quote Link to comment

out_of_the_ordinary Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Cantaloupe. A lot of cantaloupe. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Left over beef stroganoff with some cottage cheese & 'maters. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Bacon, tomato, onion and mayo sandwiches. Then fresh bing cherries for dessert. I ate way too many cherries. I probably should have stopped eating them when I started hearing my tummy talk back to me. But they were so good. And already washed... Quote Link to comment
kappydell Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 My room mate had leftover scalloped potatoes & ham (her favorite dinner, even reheated). I had catfish (she does not eat fish). Oh yes, soaked in buttermilk 30 min, then poached with Mrs. Dash garlic & herb mixture. Mmmmm. Made the garden fresh wax beans & fresh tomatoes almost an after-thought. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Boiled cabbage and potatoes. Actually pressure cooked not boiled. I've been craving it for about a week and finally got some. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Stir fried veggies (cauliflower, broccoli & carrots) with chicken strips, then sliced peaches for sweets! Quote Link to comment
Domestic_Goddess Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 We're having - Potato Pancakes, bacon, and cinnamon flavored applesauce. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Chicken & noodles w/peas and ice cream for dessert. Simple, since Philbe skinned herself up falling! Quote Link to comment
kappydell Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited)   Lambs quarters pulled and set aside when weeding the new strawberry bed...a nice 4-oz steak, corn (saved some for fish bait later) and mashed potatoes & gravy. Very simple and uneventful, except for the greens...they were so good I was GLAD my room mate does not eat greens! What do Lambs quarters look like Kappy? I keep looking a pics on the web but just can't figure out how to be sure in the real world.   Looking at photos on the web sometimes helps, and is a good start, but you need to look for triangular leaves with wavy (varies, sometimes almost serrated) edges, growing on little stems up a center stalk. They are often 'frosted' with white or sometimes pink on the upper leaves. The frosting is one of the most certain identifiers. Their stems are ridged too which is another good identifier. They have blooms that are very unobtrusive- just some little stalks with rough & tiny balls on them, clustered at the tops of the plant. The tops of taller plants (12 inches or more) and entire smaller plants (8 inches or shorter) are the most tender. They taste very much like beet greens, if you like those. (My dad still picks & eats them and he's in his 90's and healthier than many in their 50s. His sisters-in-law think he is one crazy dude, eating the weeds....) They are good boiled, steamed, or cooked any way you would cook greens. They dehydrate nicely, too - blanch them like spinach, then dry in a thin layer. On another note, tonight's menu was some huge catfish fillets (marinated in buttermilk 30 min, then poached with some Mrs. Dash garlic and herb blend, along with the first ripe tomatoes and some green beans from the garden. Everything home-raised, caught in the local river, and very fresh. I noticed a distinct difference in how I felt after that meal, as opposed to one from all store-bought foods...kind of weird.

Andrea Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Not weird at all, kappy. The nutritional density of fresh foods compared to processed, is HUGE. Tonight we're eating vegetarian : stir-fry with garden veggies over rice or lentils. Dessert is fresh figs, halved, brushed with honey and broiled. I may serve them over a lightly sweetened socca if I get motivated (flat bread made from chickpea flour), and if I get really really motivated with a cashew cream. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Last night; broiled cod, brown rice, sliced tomatoes, and ice cream for dessert. Tonight; went to produce auction so was running VERY late...stopped by for a ready made pizza! Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Gonna try my hand at Chili Rillanos (sp?) tonight, with spanish rice & refried beans. Mtn.Man loves them so...here goes! PS...got home too late, stopped at Asian Buffet for din-din...:-) Tomorrow nite's Chili R's... Edited August 5, 2013 by Philbe Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I was busy all day and it was after 8:00pm so I stopped in KFC and got a potpie to take home. Darn thing had a slice of bone in it. No harm done but it still skeeved me out. I'm one of those who has to pick all of the chicken off of the bone before I eat it. No skin, no fat, no gristle, no cartilage and no bones. Kinda why I got the potpie. Quote Link to comment
out_of_the_ordinary Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Found a container of chicken soup in the freezer (I don't freeze with rice or noodles in it). Thawed that out, brought it to a boil, dumped a near equal amount of rice into the pan. Let the rice absorb the broth. And there was the chicken rice dish I ate for supper. I'm ready for cooler weather. There's no soup left in the freezer! Oh, and cantaloupe. Edited August 6, 2013 by out_of_the_ordinary Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Successfully completed my Chili Rillanos, with spanish rice & refried beans on the side. Yum, yum! Quote Link to comment
