I definitely need to get a Crock pot with a timer because most of the recipes that I have are for a much shorter cook time than I'm gone. Until then, if anyone has a favorite quick dinner recipe, please post!

Yup...It's called going to moms! My dinner plans got all messed up...So, I called my mother. Going there for dinner tonight!

 

[MandM-Mom]

Well its going to be crazy this week but am going to do my best to resist the desire to do take out or carside to go!!! This weeks dinner menu is only for a few days so far because I haven't done any shopping trying to use up some freezer and garden things and avoid the grocery store!

Tuesday- Steak Hoagies roasted fingerling potatoes Tossed Salad
Wednesday- Manwich and tossed Salad
Thursday-Eggplant Parm Tossed Salad
Friday-Chunk Roast, mashed potatoes, acorn squash, rolls

Here are a few fast dinners that don't require a crockpot:

Refried Bean Quesadillas - a 5 minute meal

BBQ Ham Steaks on the grill - about 20 minutes start to finish, add a veggie and pasta with parmesan or rolls or couscous.

Pesto Tomato Pizza - 5-10 minutes

Black Bean and Rice Freezer Burritos - plan ahead, but then you can have dinner ready in less than 2 minutes

Scrambled Eggs and Peppers

Hiya - don't know how it will translate (we speak the same language over here SUPOSEDLY>>>)

Yorkshire Pudding recipe

mix 125g plain flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl, add 1 egg (medium) and 150ml milk - beat till smooth, beat in another 150ml milk.

Put 1 tsp lard/dripping/oil that can get REALLY hot into each of about 9 muffin tins. heat in the top of a HOT (gas 7, 220C, 425F) oven for 5 min, take out tin and pour batter in - bake for 20mins - should rise over the top of the tins and look a bit like an empty tea cup shape ..

Serve with loads of roast beef and meat juice gravy. YUMMM

You could also add sausages to the batter to make what we call toad-in-the-hole (no toads harmed in making this recipe!!!) makes a nice quick meal.

p.s. this is my recipe - EVERYONE in the UK has their own, and some get very particular about how it should be made..... a bit like folks over there and their stuffing recipes.

Thank you for the recipe! I have never had Yorkshire pudding before, I will try this as soon as it gets cool enough to make a roast beef.


Today I am taking advantage of the Garden Bounty..........love this time of year. Making teriyaki with a green/red bell pepper, squash, zucchini, onion, garlic and a sm strip steak and chicken breast found in the freezer.

Chicken enchiladas for us. Since it is just my mom and I we make two smaller trays of the echiladas versus one large tray and freeze the other.

Soups are another that we freezer into individual portions perfect for lunches.

I like to make Taco Soup and freeze some for later. Also, Stuffed Shells and Italian Sausageand Spinach Stuffed Shells, Chicken and Broccoli Stuffed Shells with Alfredo.

I think I'm on a roll with jumbo pasta shells! There are lots more recipes that freeze well in my Frozen Food category.

That Yorkshire Pudding recipe posted above sounds really good!

Tuesday: Crockpot Peanutbutter Pork w/red peppers and served over rice;
Wednesday: Turkey Keilbasa with Black Beans served over rice;
Thursday: Crockpot Barbeque beef shortribs, corn and cornbread

Saturday: Eat Out since it is the weekend and we have a volleyball game and 2 soccer games and must work the concession stand; and
Sunday: Turkey from the freezer, with mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and stuffing. Lots of leftovers for next week!!!!
