Eat at home

Lilywdw, I'm sorry your grandmother has passed.

---------------------------

I haven't been here in awhile. Trying to get back in the swing of things. I made a homemade beef-a-roni with whole wheat elbow macaroni Tuesday night. We enjoyed it! I just sauteed some green pepper and onion in some light margarine. Set it aside. Cooked and drained ground beef (I used Angus). Added the green pepper, onion, and some Italian seasoning and a large can of tomato sauce and let it simmer. (I would have sauteed some minced garlic with the beef, but I was out) After awhile it seemed a little on the dry side so I added some Prego 7 Herb sauce. Even though it was good we still had lots left over, so I'm going to put it in a baking dish, add a little more sauce and top with shredded cheddar cheese and make it like a spaghetti bake probably tomorrow night. We had some garlic bread with it and banana bread for dessert.

Tonight- Parmesan coated Chicken (already prepared), with FF, green beans and potatoes.

Thurs. night- Beef-a-roni bake

Friday night- Usually pizza. I found a great whole wheat dough that's a great price .88! So we'll probably make pizzas.

Sat. night T-bone steak (it was on a great sale), baked potatoes or corn on the cob, and baked beans.

Sun. night- Apple & sage pork chops. I have the McCormick pre-measured spices and recipe card. It's really good. I've made it before. We'll have mashed potates and maybe lima beans.

I might switch those things around a bit. It's been a crazy week.

I need to get back into this. This summer has been so hot I've not wanted to cook at all. Now that it's cooled off, I'm really ready to try again.

Tonight we had meatloaf, peas and rolls.

Tomorrow night is leftover night since Friday is grocery day:

potato and broccoli cheese soup
hamburger helper (I know it's gross, but my husband loves it.)
spagetti and sauce
meatloaf and peas

Tonight is fend for yourself/clean out the fridge night.

Tonight is fend for yourself/clean out the fridge night.

Love this! I need to do this at my house. "Mom what are we having for dinner" Not my problem, fend for yourself! A few more years when my kids are a little older and I will actually be able to do this. I can't wait!

We do this at our house too. We call it DYOT - " Do your own thing". The kids usually end up eating corn dogs or chefboyardee ravoli or something like that instead of leftovers, but that's ok - I didn't have to make it!

Tonight we are having roast chicken with roasted potatoes and ratatouille

Tonight (as long as the weather cooperates) is steaks, baked potatoes, and creamed spinach.

Tonight we had chicken pot pie for dinner. I had made the filling a few weeks ago with some leftover roasted chicken and some frozen veggies (the bags that only have a little bit left in them). I topped it with some crescent rolls and it was yummy.

That sounds REALLY good... and somewhat easy to make!

We did a fend for yourself night. We spent the morning at a HUGE neighborhood garage sale. Sadly, we didn't buy anything even though there was a TON of stuff out... just nothing we needed. Afterwards, we went out to lunch. So no one really felt like making dinner as we were exhausted.

We have instilled this rule in our house!! We found we were going out so much that we were earning a free sandwich from Subway every week - YIKES!

So we've turned off all spending - period!!

I have two recipes to share that I got from a friend last week and tried out on my family. Both were very simple & big hits!!

Crock pot potato soup

bag of frozen hash browns
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
2 cans of chicken broth
1 pack of cream cheese (I used 1/3 less fat)

Take butter and coat your crock pot with it. Add hash browns & all four cans of soup & broth into crock pot. cook on low for 4 hours. After three hours add in cream cheese. Serve with bacon & cheese.


Pizza casserole

1 box of penne noodles
2 jars of spaghetti sauce
pack of hamburger meat
2 cups of mozzarella cheese
pack of pepperoni

boil noodles & drain & rinse. cook hamburger meat. In a large dish add noodles, hamburger meat & spaghetti sauce & mix well. Top with cheese and then place pepperonis on top. Bake on 350 for 20 minutes.

We enjoyed them both!! I hope you will give them a try.

We used leftover steak for a steak salad for lunch. The salad had lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and walnuts with strips of the T-bone on top. I had Greek salad dressing over it. Delicious!

For dinner we're having the apple and sage pork chops. I already cooked it. All I need to do is heat it in the oven tonight. The flavors should go through the chops very well by then.

Don't know about next week yet. I'll get my list together later tonight.
