I could not locate the last dinner thread so I made a new one.
Today I made a pot of beef stew and potato cakes from leftover roasted garlic mashed taters to take to my father in law. Jon and I had roasted chicken and garlic rice. I made a chocolate peanut butter bundt cake last night. I plan to make pasta for dinner.
 
Well yesterday (Friday) I made taco salad since the wife and son were having pizza (too much sodium for me). This is the third time I've made it from venison. With Mamas seasoning you can't really tell it from beef. Used iceberg lettuce, chopped onions with green, red bell peppers and baked corn tortillas (a sodium free version of chips). Seeing as that pkg of meat was 1 1/2 lbs I will be having it today also.
 
For Mom and I tonight I made a cheesy baked ziti w/ sweet italian fennel sausage, and a broccoli salad w/ bacon, raisins and sunflower seeds. It was purty yummy- and the best part? We've got enuf leftover for tomorrow's supper, too!
 
I made a huge pot of beef vegetable soup and gave half of it to my brother when he stopped by. I am making Jon fried pork chops for dinner since he doesnt like veggie soup.
 
Tonight's supper for friends was a Mexican spread: Shredded Chicken & Beef Tostadas and soft shrimp tacos w/ lettuce, cheese, tomato and all the fixin's. Chips & salsa/guac/sour cream. Friend Brian brought oatmeal/choc. chip cookies and friend Rachel brought sour cream/raisin pie.
 
Hi everyone :) today I made home-made turkey chili it's still cold here in Chicago!!
Turkey Chili:
I used lb. ground turkey, one can red hot seasoned chili beans,
a can of ro-tel diced- tomatoes 1 pkg. chili mix, 1/2 cup water
1 small onion chopped and 2 cloves garlic pressed.
1 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp chili pepper add a dash of salt and pepper, some Red Pepper flakes
Grated sharp cheddar on top. This was some Hot-chili but really Good!
Have a Good week, Cookie:)

I made this one for Sunday supper. We all liked it alot.

Garlic Rosemary Chicken

Ingredients

1 (5 1/2-pound) whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
20 clove whole garlic, lightly crushed
1/2 pounds yellow onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 pounds about 14 red potatoes, halved
1 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 cups small green fresh olives such as picholines, cracked
1/2 cups fresh lemon juice


Directions

Sprinkle the chicken skin and cavity with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and place 10 garlic cloves inside. In a slow cooker, layer the onions and potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining salt, pepper, 1/2 of the oregano, and 1/2 of the rosemary. Place the chicken, breast-side down, on top of the potatoes and onions in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with the remaining rosemary and oregano. Add the olives, remaining garlic cloves, and lemon juice. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Pull meat from the bones and serve hot with the broth and vegetables.

Yesterday I smoked whole chicken wings I had soaked overnight in Buffalo sauce. I then gave them another soaking in buffalo sauce and crisped them under the broiler a bit. Jon loves them prepared that way.
Today we totally went lazy and ate at a restaurant.
 
Tonight I settled-in front of the TV in my jammies and watched all night long- LOVE being lazy- don't get nearly enuf of that, these days!

For supper I had leftover roast chicken shredded into an omelet w/ cheddar and green chilis, topped w/ salsa and sour cream. Oh- and two HUGE oatmeal cookies!
 
Last night was a sort of Rice Pilaf with browned ground beef that I dreamed up to get a meal out of pilaf. 1 cup rice browned in a saucepan with 1/2 onion and some garlic. I use 2 cups Herb-Ox beef broth plus 1/2 cup water and after the rice is done add about 2/3 Lb browned ground beef. I can have this 3 or 4 times. It also has basil, oregano, pepper and 1 tsp salt sub. Last night the remains of a red bell pepper fell in there also.
 
I made Grandad's Special Lasagna from my Country Living Flavors of Country Cooking cookbook for Sunday supper today. It was a meatless lasagna with a marinara and bechamel sauce with tons of cheese. My father in law and my hubby loved it. We had breadsticks, marinara dipping sauce, chopped veggie salad & chocolate chunk brownies for dessert. I made 2 batches of peanut butter fudge for my sis that her hubby picked up for her this evening. I made my brother a roasted chicken and hush puppies his wife picked up for him today lol. My kitchen is closed for the day lol.
 
Gee Janie. I wish I was from Kentucky so I could just put my order in every morning and pick it up on the way home every night.
 
Well little sis is sick and needed the tlc. My brother has a lot of health problems and Id cook anything he wanted when ever he wants. Unfortunately it all fell on Sunday supper day so I had tons to do. I try and keep up those Sunday suppers cause I always take enough for my FIL to have leftovers for atleast a couple of days. My fil is the best and the least I can do is a nice supper once a week. It was so funny I told him about my new cookbook with over 600 desserts in it and all the man said was ...good Lord. He did say it while he was munching a chocolate chunk brownie however lol.

I was just poking fun. You are a great DIL and big sis and I'm sure your family knows it.
 
My tummy was turnin' some tonight, so I went without supper- just a couple glasses of 7-Up.

But the night before I had my Dad and his wife over and made T-Bones, baked potatoes, wedge salad w/ bacon, cheese & blue cheese dressing, and cloverleaf rolls. Dad's wife brought a jello cake for dessert.
