Well, we used the carne asada meat. We fried some and DH tasted it. Then we rinsed some off well and fried a couple bits. I tasted it. Chew, chew, chew....and then an incindiary device went off in my mouth! Hyiyiyiyi!!! My tastebuds are arranged so that I taste HOT very easily. Whoooooeeeee, waaay off the chart HOT!

I had hamberger while DH munched happily on tortilla, meat,fried onion and green pepper. :rolleyes:

slow cooked pork chops in beer. i have beer in fridge from my husband and I don't drink it, so i have been using it to cook with. it tenderizes and adds a certain twang that is quite tasty. More than bratwurst benefits from it...i suspect beer is the 'secret ingredient' in the local restaurant's extremely popular all-you-can-eat beef tips & mushrooms in gravy (served over mashed potatoes). (Makes me hungry just to think about it - )

Fresh yellow squash from the garden (first of the season!) fried with potatoes and onions. Glass of sweet tea to go with and that's enough for me.

Found some new recipes over the weekend and for fun tried a spin on Pillsbury Cheeseburger Pie last night. One of the reviewers said it tasted like a Quarter Pounder so I thought, hey, why not. I didn't have the crescent rolls so I added potatoes instead. It was OK. Nothing we'd eat again but it was fun to try.

Tonight is a new found Mexican Casserole. Subbing Refried Beans for the Beef and making it Burrito style instead of messing with all the layering.


ETA: Wowza! :knary: Sorry about the "heat" Mt. Rider! I hope your taste buds recovered!

LOL Viggie!! We ate almost the exact same thing! I did http://www.food.com/...casserole-49088 but subbed Refried Beans for the Beef. We really liked the way the Mushroom Soup added a depth of flavor to the Enchilada Sauce. :feedme:

Vegetable soup, eaten hot with cornbread yesterday. Today I ate the soup cold, like gazpacho, with home-made cheese crackers. The kids, who aren't fond of soup, cooked hamburgers.

Tonight's dinner will be alfredo pasta with peas & spicey turkey italian sausage. I top the whole dish with sharp cheddar and bake it until it is lightly browned. I love one dish meals. I have enough purple beans for hubby and myself, so that will probably be the side dish. I also have a loaf of Italian bread... I could turn that into garlic bread but that is a lot of carbs in one meal!

We didn't have anything exciting, just ham and cheese with some cottage cheese on the side. Last week though, I put a spin on your typical grilled cheese. It had feta cheese, cheddar, and american cheese. Then I put tomato slices and some ham in it, grill it and your done. It was really good! Quick too!

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. - Thomas Jefferson

Economic control is not merely control of a sector of human life which can be separated from the rest; it is the control of the means for all our ends. And whoever has control of the means must also determine which ends are to be served, which values are to be rated higher and which lower, in short, what men should believe and strive for. - Friedrich von Hayek

Last night I put a whole new spin on something.

I love Bacon-Tomato Dip/Spread and thought...I wonder if this would make a good Grilled Cheese Sandwich...the answer..YES! It was warm, ooey-gooey cheesy, bacony, tomatoey goodness in a grilled sandwich and we really liked it!

Tonight...Leftovers from the week. A lone Turkey Burger and a couple of Bean Burrito's.;)

JustAPrepper, is that a "store-bought" cheese product? It sounds intriguing!

Everybody's meals sound delicious! (even the DQ! LOL)


We've been eating leftovers, but oh, are they good! I bought ribs on sale last weekend, both spare ribs and baby back ribs. I've never tried baby backs at home and wanted to compare them. I knew there would be leftovers, so I would have one cooking and then meals for later in the freezer.

I found a great "rub" online and made that, then refrigerated them for several hours after rubbing it on. When I took them out, I grilled them for a short while, and then finished them off in the oven with Sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce. YUM! :feedme:

Buttered and parsley potatoes on the side, which for the next meal I mixed in sour cream and cheese and baked them.

Fresh salad and ~voila~... great meals for a pretty cheap price compared to eating out. And one night when things are crazy, I can pull the leftovers out and be grateful.

We're having the leftover spaghetti sauce over rice for a couple of nights. Gotta figure out how to make gluten free noodles!
