Ham and bean soup.

DSD doesn't like beans.  She loves ham and bean soup.  She had two and a half bowls.  She eats almost anything though, so I'm not going to ask questions.

It's so cold and blustery here today. I'm making split pea and ham soup. Yummmmm! I love soup and have quite a few soup recipes in my rotation. I think I could live on soup most of the winter.

^^ I could too, but DH isn't as much of a fan.  :tongue:

Just defrosted leftovers from a makeshift dinner.  DS will be home tomorrow, so I made a big Crock Pot Ropa Vieja yesterday to have for tomorrow.

Never had that, GN, looks good!  I googled.

I was just thinking of making a kale, veggie, and turkey sausage soup to eat for a couple of days before the big, bad feast on Thursday.  I have a big bag of chopped kale in the fridge.  It needs to get used.  It whips up quickly in the Instant Pot.

I have a big pot of veggie soup for the day after!

Never go to the soup today, but found a bag of Brussels sprouts that I had.  Roasted those and had a very small bit of the pasta and meatballs that I reheated for the kids.  mostly munched on sprouts.

What would you do with a piece of chuck steak? I have no idea what to do with it.

I have mushrooms and broccoli to go with it, may pick up a couple of potatoes. But I have no idea how to cook the steak. I was planning on using my Instant Pot.

GoingNuts

No suggestions Ciel.  I would cook it low and slow, like a stew maybe? 

Becca, I got some halved brussels sprouts the other day and roasted them.  They came out the best I've ever made.  I have no idea why, b/c I do the same thing every time.  Gawrsh, I just love them.

Stuffed peppers because I am super lazy tonight.  But I did make DS some with the baby sweet peppers instead of full size bell peppers.  Those are cute.

Currently on the fourth thing that I have made in a crock pot this week.  Tonight will be broccoli cheese soup - will have to pick up a loaf of bread from the bakery after I get DSD from school to go with it.

Stuffed peppers from Tuesday were in one of my slow cookers, and a Mexican chicken and rice casserole in a slow cooker last night.  I made tamari and sesame glazed chicken drumsticks in a slow cooker for DH's work lunch yesterday, though that slow cooker is out of commission at least until we can try and clean the inside.

Mmm, broccoli cheese soup. Yum. We're having pasta e fagioli. Not sure if I spelled that right.

Sick since Christmas and haven't been able to feed myself.  I've been craving tomatillo soup with grilled cheese something awful.  Today I needed to grab the last few meds before the deductible resets--notably DD's epi-pens, which all expire in February.  So I washed my face, washed my hands, put on a neck buff, dipped myself in sanitizer, and went out to buy fresh tomatillos.  No basil was to be had, so I settled for the dried I have at home.  But after roasting them and making it, I'm very satisfied.

I'll have to try it in my new Instant pot, but today I just did my usual method of roasting in my cast iron skillet, adding to a pan of sauteed onions and garlic, then cooking down more, adding broth, herbs, blend.  Stirred in creme fraiche and all is well.  And yeah, I had my grilled cheese with it.

Sounds yummy!  I hope that you are finally feeling better, K.

Sounds yummy, krasota!

Since I am going to be cooking some meals to send to my mom with DH, we will have lots of food on hand for dinners this week and maybe next.  I must remember to buy some containers to freeze stuff in.

I am making Roman Style Chicken (chicken, peppers, prosciutto, oregano, thyme, tomatoes, chicken broth and white wine), Beef stew, meat sauce, and meatloaf.  I may make another chicken dish too....

MaryM

I finally made latkes.  I was supposed to do it over break.  So nothing healthy tonight bc we are having chicken cutlets too....it will be yummy.
