Eat at home 2!

[charming23]

I hope everyone had a good holiday. Mine was nice we got to take my grandma to my aunt's both days to celebrate with the family.

Tonight we had chicken and dumplings. It was snowing and comfort food sounded so good.

The last of our house guests left this morning. This is how I feel... We will get to rest tonight, but then DH's brother and his little girl arrive at the in-law's house tonight. So, just a short respte before we end up spending the weekend with them. I am ready for life as normal again. Dinner tonight is quick and simple:

Jambalaya with Smoked Sausage
Oven Roasted Corn

I am going to go ahead and post next week's menu since I probably won't make it back over to the Dis until Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Funds are way low after the holidays, so next week we will be eating from what is already in the freezer and pantry. Since our schedule will be dictated by our coming and going from in-law's house, I will not even try to figure out what nights we will eat what. Here is just a list of meals I have ready to prepare for WHENEVER...

~ Taco Soup and Cheese Quesadillas
~ Leftover Casserole (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/leftov...turky&e8=Quick Search&event10=1&e7=Home Page#) made with Turkey and a Salad
~ Deer Steak and Gravy, Mashed Potatotes and Sauteed Squash
~ White Beans and Ham with Cornbread
~ Spaghetti, Garlic Toast and Steamed Broccoli
~ Biscuits and Sausage Gravy with Scrambled Eggs
~ I am leaving the seventh meal open since I am sure we will have dinner at the in-law's house at least once

Hope all of you have a happy new year!!!!

Well now that the holidays are winding down I suppose I should make a menu. We could continue to graze on whatever is close enough to throw in our mouths but I'd like to not have to purchase everyone in the house a new wardrobe to fit into so it's time to knock that off

Tonight.. Ham, Broccoli, Garden Salad, Baked or Mashed Potato

Saturday.. Dinner at my sisters (I think it's Prime Rib.. postponed family get together)

Sunday.. Casual get together lunch here of soup and sandwiches. Just the kids and I that night so we'll do leftovers

Monday.. Spaghetti Pie

Tuesday.. Considering making a turkey for New Years Day, butternut squash soup, stuffing, mashed potatoes broccoli

Wednesday.. Leftovers from turkey dinner

Thursday.. Hamburgers, Fries and Salad

Friday.. Some kind of homemade soup. I'll have leftover turkey and ham so I need to make something

Hey all. Sorry I have been quiet for so long! Mom ended up in the hospital again over Christmas from dehydration, low blood pressure, and low platelet and white cell counts. She got out yesterday and is feeling pretty well. My family is coming into town today through Tuesday so I have a lot going on at the moment!

Here is the menu I have for today through Tuesday night. I will then go back to the grocery Wednesday morning (for meals Wednesday through Sunday) and then back to normal (at least until classes start).

Tonight: Depends on when family gets into town
Saturday: Tacos and Mexican Rice
Sunday: Baked Chicken Parmesan, Spaghetti, and Garlic Bread
Monday: French Onion Soup and Snacks
Tuesday: Filet Mignon, Lobster Tail, Baked Potato, and Creamed Spinach

Well Lilly, I wish your Mom a continued speedy recovery!

Tonight we might be having some chicken turn overs with puff pastry, some Dijon mustard, and peas. We've got some pierogies I might make with that. I am kinda in a funk and really don't want to make anything. But I know without me the family will starve

Mine is SUPER simple
I boil chicken breasts and shred them. I add some chicken bouillon and pepper for flavor. I buy frozen Reames brand noodles or dumplings and simmer them for about 45-60 minutes. Add whatever veggies sound good. That's it! So easy ad a favorite for both of my kids

I have a simple crock pot recipe. This recipe makes about 8-10 servings. 3 of us eat on it for a couple days.

I put 3 frozen chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. 1 large (or 2 small) can of cream of chicken soup. 1 16 ounce can of chicken broth. Carrots, onion, and peas (we use a frozen mixture from our grocery - I put in about half a bag, but you could put none in or adjust it however you like). Cook on low 6-8 hours. One hour before its done, add one more can of broth and 2 cans of biscuits. I cut the biscuits into 4 pieces. Cook for the last hour and then enjoy! So incredibly simple and delicious!

Here's my chicken and dumpling recipe:http://tinkmomfoodie-foodobsession.blogspot.com/search?q=chicken+and+dumplings

I've been using the recipe with egg a lot lately. The broth doesn't get cloudy if you don't stir them and peek. I have several recipes on that page.

 

[tinkmom2]

I made these last night. I had one sheet of puff pastry left over from Christmas so I made mini chicken pockets and mini bacon and cheese pierogies. It's possible to make six mini pockets out of one sheet of puff pastry. :http://tinkmomfoodie-foodobsession.blogspot.com/search?q=chicken+and+puff+pastry
