Awesome, thanks!! Any tips for rolling/filling the wontons? Roll them very thin you said?

I used TONS of flour and just kept rolling and flipping the dough until it was as thin as I could get it. I used a knife to cut the squares but next time I'm going to try using a pizza cutter to see if that works any better. The knife was challenging.

Another busy week and hard to come up with new ideas. I get into food ruts easily, have to watch what I eat very carefully b/c of GERD, and have one kid who doesn't like pasta or rice.

Last night we have overnight guests, I made homemade Mac n cheese with salad
Today is teriyaki chicken, rice, mixed Asian-style veggies and Trader Joes postickers
Wed is leftovers
Thurs. is tortellini and salad; canned chili for my anti-pasta son
Friday is tacos and corn
Need to come with something for Saturday; Sunday is always a fend for yourself day.

You guys are so IMPRESSIVE!

We just went from a 2 income household to a no income household so we have to eat at home now. We're trying to do it cheaply but still sneak some veggies in (I don't like veggies at ALL) so tonight I tried making a kinda-jumbalya.

1 pkg breakfast sausage
1 large onion (chopped)
1 large green pepper (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 can tomato soup
2 cups rice
2 cups chicken broth
2 TBSP Cajun spice (or whatever you like to taste)

Chop up sausage to bite sized pieces and fry until cooked. Remove from pan and set aside. Throw in onion, green pepper and garlic, and cook until about how soft you like them. Toss the sausage back in along with everything else. Mix, bring to boil for about 30 seconds, then turn down to low, cover and let sit about 10 minutes or until the rice soaks up the liquid. Fluff it up and you're all done.

If that's too dry for you then you can just up the amount of broth. If you accidently add too much spice then grate some cheese over top.

Fairly quick, cheap, and a good way to sneak in some basic veggies...

Sorry I have not been around on the thread. Mom has been back in the hospital for three weeks now and does not seem to be really recovering. We are having to start thinking about hospice or full time care at home. So I have been dealing with that plus the last month of the last semester of grad school. I am supposed to graduate May 11th. After that... I have no idea where my life will go.

I am still trying to cook when I have an energy. Here is my menu for the rest of the "week":

Tonight: Pan fried steak, baked sweet potato, and steamed broccoli
Saturday: Huevos Rancheros (vegetarian)
Sunday: Pasta with Butter, Parm, Peas, and Chicken
Monday: Steak Hash and Eggs

And then at some point Monday or Tuesday night I have to go to the store.

 

[stayhomemom77]

Last night was scallops, rice and green/yellow beans

Tonight: Spaghetti bolognese, garlic bread and salad

Tomorrow: Chicken fingers and fries...probably salad as well
