So.. that is all you have to offer?

My goodness, you all should be on your way to putting Recipezaar out of business! Great work too all the chefs who contributed!

There's lots of stuff leftover from yesterday's football bonanza, so we are having a picnic. I am making us both a sandwich on baguette with french butter and gruyere (trying to relive Paris, but the bread doesn't measure up!), plus some green olives and devilled eggs. DH's plate will have the leftover chicken wings and a bit of hard salami. I'll have to see if I can find anything green in the fridge to round things out a bit.

Tonight is my husband's monthly Geek meeting so I am on my own. I plan on having a bowl of tomato soup and possibly a salad. It's Movie Night for me

WFD at your house?

bengalbelle - here ya go! This will apply to both red and white beans. The only difference would be for red beans I add liquid hickory smoke along with the other seasonings.

1 lb. dried red or white beans
1 smoked ham hock
sliced smoked or andouille sausage
1 lb. pickled pork, cubed
1 container chopped creole seasoning mix (onions, grn pepper, celery, parsley & garlic)
2 Tbsp. salt (more or less to taste)
1 tsp. black pepper
2 bay leaves
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried oregano
Hot sauce (to taste)

Combine dried beans, creole seasoning mix and ham hock in a dutch oven. Cover with water. Add cubed pickled pork and all seasonings. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a low boil and cook until beans are tender (approx 3 hours). During last hour of cooking, add the sliced sausage.

What recipe is this?? Maybe I missed it, but I didn't find a title

Sorry, bengalbelle had asked last week for a basic recipe to make red or white beans (New Orleans style). That's what it is.

Tonight I'm making a mexican chicken dish, rice and mexican salad!!

I think I'm going to roast a chicken tonight along with some potatoes and onions!

Tonight I am making Hungarian Gulyas. It is a recipe that I got from the newspaper...sort of like a beef stew with caraway seeds, paprika, s & p as the only seasonings. I'll probably serve this with wide noodles...if I make a veggie, it will be sauteed green beans in olive oil, garlic, red onion and a touch of wine vinegar.

I'ts c-c-c-old here and I'm feeling the need for some comfort food so tonight will be meatloaf, baked potatoes, homemade corn muffins and probably some string beans.

Today is DH's birthday so I'm making him his favorite, Baked Lasagna w/ garlic bread.

I'm making an ice cream cake (devils food with mint chocolate chip ice cream) for his birthday cake.

We're going to go out this weekend and leave the kids with my parents. Going to try to find a theater still playing Borat.

I was having a blonde moment... ...

I just figured out that gulyas in the hungarian word for goulash...it took me a few days to put 2 and 2 together...only me!

on Sunday I made Lindsay's vegetable soup. It looks great.

This is my first try in making soup in a really long time- I have made some clunkers in the past.

We are having that with a nice crusty bread for dipping.

I haven't posted here in a while, DH was just diagnosed with shingles and it's been a little crazy around here.

Tonight I'm making Bourbon Chicken but I don't have the apple juice so I'm going to try it with pineapple. Hope it turns out ok.

Tomorrow I'm making chili and corn muffins. I think I'm just going to use a Jiffy box mix for the muffins - has anyone ever tried mixing in canned corn. I was thinking about doing that but I don't know how it will turn out.

here is what I use and the kids love it even though they aren't big on casseroles, muffins, or corn.....LOL.

1 can creamed corn
1 can whole kernel corn
1 box Jiffy cornmeal mix
1 c milk
1 egg

Mix together and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.

Tonight is an easy meal..Schwan's just came and I am making their chicken quesadillas and chicken fajitas.

Sounds good. Do you make this recipe in muffin tins? If so, how many muffins does it make? Do you drain the whole kernel corn?

Something quick here. I don't feel like cleaning up. We are having steaks (grill), lobster tails (few minutes broiled in the oven) with melted butter, twice baked potatoes (I had some baked pots left over from the other day and quickly remade them), and salad. Quick and simple.

I do drain the corn. I usually make it in a casserole dish but I think it would do fine in a muffin tin. In fact i think I will do that next time. I usually use an 8 X 8 dish so not sure how many muffins that would be...maybe 6 large or 8 small.

I'll be right over! I haven't had lobster in forever. YUM

Just wanted to let everyone here know that Nancy's(Nancyg56) Mom passed away this past week. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. When she's up to cooking again, she'll be back with us.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Nancy, you're in my thoughts and prayers

DH is working late, so we are just having panini when he gets home. If I can wait that long...I am hungry!
