Mmmmmm, can you share the mushroom sauce recipe?
Yum Janelle - sounds wonderful!
GN, I want to be your dinner guest! You make a serious dinner every night! Yum!
YouKnowWho, would this website work for you? I'm not gluten free (although I have a good friend who is extremely intolerant of gluten) and use these recipes. [url]http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/[/url] The blogger cooks gluten free for her youngest daughter.
my good veggie dinner deferred again. too unfun for friday. pizza on way to house. veggies getting wilty in fridge.
oooohhhh :dunce: I geuss I could have figured that out.do you have a good source of safe green tea ice cream? Ooooooh, how I would love that!
I think I'll torture my son with a green night.
green soup
green spaghetti
green tea ice cream
Why are my vegan meals multi-pot extravaganzas that take two hours to complete and our eaten without a word of thanks? Not to mention leave me hungry 20 minutes later...
What recall? All I've been hearing about down here is the peanut one.
I don't know. Cookies. Desperation. Vodka.
quick rumage in the freezer, one pack chicken thighs and so TA DA!I LOVE READING YOUR POSTS! You really should write (in all of your spare time)....this is what I am going to do tonight for dinner - I have chicken quarters thawed and NO ideas in my head.
chicken provencale.
well, my version.
roughly chop red onions, peppers. throw in large dish, add vine tomatos, on vine, and whole cloves of garlic (throw them in while shouting at the kids) add can drained black olives, then drop chicken on top. add fresh or dried basil, olive oil, blasamic vinegar (how very 90s of me) salt , pepper, etc.
slam in oven.
serve with pasta , and salad. if you can be bothered, garlic bread, but i am not bothered so wont.
there you go dinner done.
Loved those pics Mary. So nice to have two budding chefs in the house!
Ooooh, what is garlic brown sugar chicken?
I made a quiche earlier this week. Loaded it with so much broccoli and spinach(as well as some ham, onions and cheese) that it overflowed. It was good. I make egg muffins that are basically crustless quiche. The crust(refined carbs plus fat) is the most unhealthy part if you otherwise load it with veggies. I also use milk, not cream. I sometimes cut back on yolks as well.
I need to start stalking YKW's dinners tweaking them for no dairy cuz I know you even factor paleo in.
The Asiany meatballs wouldn't work in pasta sauce but these will and I think he's ready to try a spaghetti meal. Crossing my fingers on tomato. I'm fairly sure GV olive oil is safe for him (no warnings). YKW, the Ancient Harvest quinoa flour reads gf facility last I checked. I keep my head in the sand about milk in their facility or lines. Sad, but true.
Once I figure out which OT thread to pollute with my personal needs I will probably pick the above brains for meal planning ideas. I have to carb up on cardio days in smaller, more frequent meals. Then on lift days I should overeat paleo with high protein.
so I managed one whole week of vegetarian dinners. (not vegan, though) moTues (ate out)- spaghetti w/pesto/kale chips/ little pepers stuffed with tofutti cc and herbs ala McCabre's pic Tuesday- veg chili and rice Wednesday- , thursday spanakopita , friday tacos.
I signed some online thing to be vegetarian for a month. I am looking up Mc's dishes :-)
DS is not much of a sauce person either but he does like salsa so I figured he eat this. This is our first time trying it, it smells wonderful so hopefully it's good.
I got it from here.

Clam chowder, already going in the slow cooker.
My mom use to buy us cheese curds when they went visiting to Canada. She would bring them home and salt them for us. They were like eating candy!
She also brought these really yummy cookies...filled with jam, pink and white soft candy like tops with a wafer bottom. And off course, same wafer, jam, marshmallow, coated in a chocolate shell!
Polenta with zucchini and a poblano, jalapeño, and tomatillo sauce. Wow it's smelling great. Wtg DH!
Becca that could work better in your situation, right?
Tonight we had home-made build-your-own pizzas-- with black olives, WallaWalla sweet onions, red bell peppers, thin-sliced zucchini, baby 'bellas, and Canadian bacon for the non-veggie lovers.
Teenagers LOVE this as a party food-- personal pizzas that they make themselves. I just make the pizza dough, and leave it on parchment in flattened rounds for them to top and put into the oven on a peel.
Peameal bacon is a type of bacon originating in Toronto, Canada. The name reflects the historic practice of rolling the cured and trimmed boneless loin in dried and ground yellow peas, originally for preservation reasons. Since the war years it has been rolled in ground yellow cornmeal. It is low in fat, and slow cured.
Tonight I am stuffing chicken breasts with Brie and fig jam. Maybe finishing with a drizzle of balsamic. Sides of mashed sweet potatoes and applesauce with lots of cinnamon.Is it too late for me to show up for dinner? ;D

I was thinking of you while I made it! Can't see it with cottage cheese, maybe a little sour cream and paprika.
Broccoli soup!
I got the idea for the pasta from a hamburger helper box, but then made it myself.
Our grocery store sells really thin cut beef for making steak sandwiches. I bought that, cut into smaller pieces and then cooked in a skillet with peppers, onions, garlic and a little bit of worcestershire. Cooked some short cut pasta. Made a bechamel and then added mozzarella and provolone. Mixed everything together and sprinkled a bit of cheese on top.
Was pretty good. Will make again.
Making a big country dinner always makes me feel like a good mom, so that is what I am doing today.
Roast chicken, mashed potatoes and homemade gravy, corn casserole, green beans, and rolls with herb butter. My house is going to smell delicious. :)
can you bake some chicken breasts (salt/pepper/olive oil and herbs de provance - or rosemary and garlic) and diced sweet potatoes (salt pepper and olive oil) - on cookie sheets in oven at the same time
make homemade ranch dressing - see pioneer woman
have salad with diced chicken and sweet potatoes and homemade ranch - it's GOOD!
Blueberry actually pairs nicely with savory, so blueberry with broccoli/cheese might be pretty good. Certainly your DS thinks so.
That's what freezer food is for!
Managed to do a quick, lazy dinner of slow cooker BBQ chicken sandwiches, some chips and cottage cheese. I can't stand or walk for very long right now because of the pregnancy stuff.
DSD said the sandwiches were great and that I should make them again. Bad news for her: I will try, but I pretty much threw a few frozen chicken thighs in the cooker and covered them with stuff that I did not measure at all.
I did not use a recipe, but, it’s called “crack slaw” on lots of low carb blogs. I used a 20 oz pack of ground turkey, generously seasoned with ginger and garlic, some soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. I actually made the sauce with 1/3c low sodium soy sauce, a splash of the vinegar, a few cloves crushed garlic, and maybe 1-2t of ground ginger, and about a T of sweetener(sugar, brown sugar, I used Swerve, which is erithritol). So, I used about half of that as I sautéed the turkey with some diced onions. I pulled out the turkey, and reduced juices, then added cabbage(2 bags shredded slaw), and the rest of the sauce. Cook to desired tenderness, add back turkey, a bunch of diced green onion, and some toasted sesame oil. We ate it straight up, but, this could be done as lettuce wraps, or with some rice. You could sweeten it up with hoisen sauce, or add heat with red pepper.
If you google crack slaw you’ll get ideas for flavors.

Thanks. I'm not a fan of regular cabbage, but will eat nappa cabbage or bok choy or something like that. So I'd sub in one of those.
Recipe for homemade tomato soup?
Ooooh,,DH made beet tarts with red and golden beets (which I had roasted Monday), fennel, red opinion, zucchini, yellow squash, and a honey goat cheese. Wowza.
Pizza—the crust made from flour, baking powder, and Greek yogurt (plus salt and garlic powder).
Will you roast the onions? I loooove homemade French onion soup. Now I want to make it this weekend, minus the bread and now I cannot have Daiya either (They added potato)... but still. Sounds delightful.
Does anyone have a really good use for coconut flour? I bought a bunch but everything I try turns out unpalatable, even with extra soaking time. I don’t want to throw it out because it was expensive and it is safe for me to eat.
Simmered it in 2qts of water for 3 hours with McCormick s pickling spice, an onion and garlic. Added potatoes, cabbage and carrots during the last 1/2 hour. Drained the veggies and added a little butter and parsley to them. Delish.
Becca, my kids were picky too. And there were few things both would eat. What I did for years was to make sure that everyone had something on the table they liked. If the main dish was something one person didn’t like, I made sure there was a side they liked. And neither was fond of vegetables, so often there was fruit on the table. So maybe not the most well balanced, but it worked.
Picky kids make it very hard to plan a single dinner that all 4 of us will eat each night. I try to cook a lot of grilled chicken or steak, and have another meal or lunch from leftovers. My kids are so picky and bland that I can’t do meals every night for all of us. If I make chili, for example , I need someone’s for the kids. Sigh....it’s a lot of pasta, meatballs, hot dogs and burgers for them these days...
Tonight I roasted a turkey and Ds choked it down. It was good, but he’s just not a fan. There was rice and a pumpkin casserole thing. He wasn’t happy about any of it. 🤷🏻♀️
I honestly think this will make him a less picky eater, but the food we have in the house is what's available for the next week and a half or so.
I'm giving this a try (without the chicken)

More mashed potato pulled pork sundaes, because that is apparently the up and coming meal of the season in our house.
For lunch today I am having hotdogs. In buns.
I was googling how to make hotdog buns. I’ve tried before but never get the shape right. A few recipes say to roll the pieces 6”x4”, then roll up, put them close together so they raise UP instead of out. Since I love my hotdogs, I figured I’d use that recipe. I was up til 11 waiting for them to cool. (I always forget how long this recipe takes, lol.)
They look great. I cut the slits in the top instead of the side....never thought of that before either.

We're having pulled pork and potatoes too (probably roasted, not mashed.) What are pulled pork sundaes?
Two of the things i hate most in this world--coconut and curry ;):rofl:
Did those chicken legs come from where I think they did?
