Is the pizza casserole recipe already posted here? If not, it sounds yummy, so please post!

It is Melanie, and within the last couple of months, so it should be in the upper page numbers. If you can find it fairly quickly, let me know and I can help. My kids really like it.

I was talking about you yesterday with my sister. We were discussing tailgating food and I told her about your drunk dawgs recipe. She made it yesterday and loved it. Much better than the other recipes she has followed. Although she married a Clemson fan (the horror!) so I think she may not have told them how it got its name.

I think I'm going to make pizza. I know I have yeast packets and flour and the basic stuff so hopefully I can find an easy recipe that takes what I already have on hand.

I may do a bbq chicken pizza for a change. I'll just make it up as I go =)

What is Cornell Chicken? Forgive me if its posted here already. Have fun apple picking...that sundae sounds yummy!

I'm not sure if it's posted here yet. I don't have time to check right now, but if it isn't, I'll get it from my mom. It would have been good, if my brother had cooked it enough. We also had spinach gratin, cumin corn and bread.

The sundae was good, but much too large. It had coconut/almond chip, coffee and M+M ice cream topped with pineapple, strawberry and hot fudge sauces, whipped cream and walnuts. If I had remembered my camera, I would have taken a picture.

I'm still full, so I can't decide what to have for dinner. I have some deli meats in the fridge that I could make into an Italian sub, but I might regret that after all the ice cream. Maybe I'll just wait a bit and see if my appetite returns. Right now, it's time for some football.

GO PATS!

Lauren - How are you feeling today?

Hi Kat, I am feeling better today. Thank you! Just a little nutty with this bathroom... You know me and stress!

Thanks Laura! That sundae sounds to die for!!!

It's probably clogging multiple arteries as we speak.

I did end up having the Italian sub for dinner tonight, and it was good. We'll see if my stomach survives.

I've been in a frenzy all weekend doing laundry, picking out plumbing fixtures & finally started packing today. No cooking at all this weekend, it was delivery fried chicken for lunch & dinner today!

 

[Aimeedyan]

Mmmm. Fried chicken. Yum.

I ended up not making pizza but instead getting one from Papa Murphys. Do y'all have a take and bake pizza place near you? They are good and much cheaper than Pizza Hut or the like.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Tonight we are having spaghetti and meatball stoup and pull-apart garlic bread

WFD at your house?

We wound up doing take out chinese yesterday so today will be the roast chicken meal that I did not make.

We do not have places like that here...

5 days... Can't wait to hear all about F&W!!!

I was looking at tile this past weekend and cannot seem to find any I like in my color sceme...I think I will change to neutrals...

The electrician was here this AM and we will get that estimate in a few days. I keep changing my mind what I want done...not fun!

Morning all--with work this weekend, no cooking for me--except the burgers I charred on the grill. Remind me that I should cook the burgers first, then have wine and chat later! I totally forgot about the burgers and they ended up being little charcoal briquettes!

Tonight is another new recipe--can't remember the actual title. But it's a grilled flank steak over edemame with a wasabi vinegar dressing. If it's yummy I'll post the recipe tonight or in the morning

Aimeedyan--When we lived in WI we had papa murphy's at least once a week--was in the same strip mall that I worked in. Yummo!

Only 10 more days till we leave for WDW--F&W, MNSSHP, ToT 13K--can't wait!!!!!

I need to remember NOT to eat Fried chicken for 2 meals in a row & the watch Saints football!!! I was up several hours last night with stomach pains, fell asleep just in time for the clock to go off! Ugh! We don't have anything like that around here either. Sounds neat!

Lauren, We're leaving early Thurs morning, driving all the way to All Star for one night then on to the Beach Club! I can't wait!

Here's a pic of the tile I'm going to use for the bathroom. It's honed travertine Mario said he could get for a good price. It's strange that it looks so much like the porcelain travertine look alike we put in the kitchen. The new tile is on top of the kitchen floor.

I asked Mario about using the porcelain in the bathroom to save money. But he said that since he'll be able to do special cuts & bullnosing & such on the travertine it would actually be cheaper than buying all of those seperate tiles in porcelain.

Probably very little cooking for me this week. I've got tons to get done yet! Lots of errand running still to do & packing. Tonight will probably just be a pan seared piece of fish & a salad. NO MORE FRIED CHICKEN FOR ME!!

Y'all have a good one!
Sheryl

Was that Scooters? We've yet to try it, can't get a hold of a menu and don't know if they deliver to our area. I hope you feel better soon.

Have a great day all!

Yes Kathy is was Scooter's. I doubt they would deliver to you, but here is the link http://www.scooterschicken.com/

Thanks I'm feeling better, just tired now. Not to be too disgustingly graphic but after I'm moving around awhile the pain.... uh passes!

And I missed something, Where is Nancy? I thought her DW trip wasn't until early Nov?

 

[Aimeedyan]

Sheryl - I love the tile! One of these days we'll get to rip up vinyl and put in tile...

I am leaving this afternoon for a conference so we'll be eating out (and not on my dime!) tonight. My collegue is hoping for steak and I'm just fine with that =)

 

[Glynis]

Is that the one over by the bread bowl place? If so, we loved it too. I wanted to get a bread bowl and a loaf of Mickey sourdough but the line there was longer than for ANY of the rides we went on the whole time! So we shared beef tacos and chicken burrito. YUMMY! (insert smilie rubbing tummy here)

No, but that mexican place is yummy too!!! My kids don't like the soup in a breadbowl, so we always get them food from the mexican place so we can all eat together.

Rancho del Zocalo is in DL right by BTMRR. It is very yummy, and the portions are HUGE!!!

Ok Lauren here is the recipe for Kenny's favorite breakfast. I included the recipe for the blueberry syrup although you could use store bought even if Kenny says it is almost blasphemy for me to say so. I think I've spoiled him a little.

Baked Blueberry French Toast
1 (24 oz) loaf sourdough bread crusts removed, cut in cubes (I normally use ¾ of the loaf)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed
1 pint blueberries, rinsed and drained (I have used frozen when I can’t get fresh)
1 tbl sugar
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
Confectioner’s sugar (to sprinkle on top)
Blueberry Syrup (recipe to follow)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Place half of bread in greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Top with cream cheese. Place blueberries over cream cheese. Sprinkle sugar on top of blueberries. Top with remaining bread cubes.

Combine eggs, milk and cinnamon in a small bowl, mixing well. Pour over bread.

At this point, you can cover the dish and place in the refrigerator overnight if you want. Otherwise, bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until puffed and set. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and serve with Blueberry Syrup.

Blueberry Syrup
1 cup sugar
2 tbl. Cornstarch
1 cup water
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tbl butter

Heat sugar, cornstarch and water in small saucepan over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Cook 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in blueberries gently, simmering 10 minutes or until berries have burst. Stir frequently. Add butter, stirring gently until melted.

Yum! I love overnight French Toast! I have several recipes, and I try to rotate them each Christmas. It really makes breakfast special. I've got a toffee apple one, a peach one, a strawberry banana one, etc. I really love them!!!

Tonight we are having tacos and chips with salsa con queso. Easy and yummy!

WFD at your house?

ETA: I don't know if any of you remember, but last year my dad was going through a separation and possibly divorce. A few months after he told me, they decided to try to work things out. The other day he came over (he is on vacation this week) and told me it is definitely over.

This is definitely a good thing. My dad has not been happy for a long time and I have known it. He has a spirit in him now I haven't seen in a long time. Please pray for him and pray for me that I can be the support he needs right now. His name is Mark.

Lindsay - I'm so sorry I didn't see this before now! I'll most definitely keep him (and you) in my prayers.

 

[shiralex]

I LOVE the picture of your cat!!!! Reminds me of Clyde, my first cat who left us in February after 17 wonderful years!

 

[Glynis]

Lindsay - regarding your Dad. I know it's hard seeing your parent as a fellow adult having to endure this type of situation.

WFD -- Shrimp jambalaya. I threw it together the other night knowing I would need leftovers for the busy weekend (instead of takeout for everything but breakfast!) It's an old pass-along recipe from my step-mom by way of DH's best friend's mom.

It's prepared in a rice cooker - dump & go! Easy peasy!

Rice Cooker Shrimp Jambalaya

1 stick butter or margarine, cut in chunks
1 3-oz can of sliced mushrooms (do not drain)
1 1/2 cups rice (uncooked, unwashed)
1 med. bell pepper, diced
1 med. onion, diced
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 cups beef consomme
1 lb. shrimp (OK to combine or substitute crawfish, chx, sausage, etc.)
2 T. seasoning (I use Tony Chachere's)

Spray interior of rice cooker pan with Pam (spray well). Add all ingredients to rice cooker. Combine. Turn on rice cooker. Stir again once rice cooker is done. Serve.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure how many of you have rice cookers. They're practically a necessity here in LA with all of the rice-n-beans we eat here. I'm sure this could be adapted for stove top if you watch your liquid amounts.

This may have been answered, but I'm still catching up. Do you use an electric rice cooker? What capacity is it? What is the seasoning? I'm not familiar with Tony Chachere's.
