Yesterday I had a catering event. I cooked for 70 people. It went well. My family had the leftovers. 
Today we are having homemade vegetable beef soup. I will probably make bread to go with it.
Morningglories...I am so glad you vacation was great. We took our DD(autistic as well) to Disneyworld this year. She did really well there. I haven't been to Disneyland. It sounds great.
Dodi...that's what I was talking about. Cajun talapia YUM!!
Welcome Peacockplace.
Monica how was the Christmas Party at church??
Knox...I like Morningglories version of vacation WAY better than your working vacation. My goodness girl you have worked hard this week. Have you gotten any shopping done?
Kay...almost time for cookie sales 
Wow. Where does the time go!
It's always great sitting at the table with you ladies.
Hey Yall. SOrry I did not post last night. I got home at 930 & I was sooo tired. The christmas party went great. There was TONS of great food. Lets see if I can remember all what I had. 
Ham
Roast
Cheesy Chicken YUMM-O!!
Macoroni
Scalloped Potatos
Carrots w/ dip
Corn
Rolls
Pumpkin Fluff with graham crackers. Oh me I love this stuff.
Cookies
Some sort of candy I do not know what its called it was good though.It was suppose to be brittle but it did not turn out it was chewy. YUM.
I think thats all I ate. Dang it was down home country meal YUMMERS!!
Welcome Peacock to the table! hope ya'll are doing well. Tonight is breakfast for dinner. Scrambled eggs (some sprinkled with melted cheese for the kids) big ol' omlet for my DH with mushrooms, potato and bell pepper with montery jack and cheddar cheese and a little ham. Home fried potatoes on the side, toast and bisquits with jelly on the side and homemade honey butter. Kids will have some bacon with it too and a little peppers for the veggies Ok I better get cooking now. Todays also my dad's birthday so I took him a rib-eye sandwich for lunch with onion straws and fries. He doesn't like cake that well 
I love breakfast for dinner but funny I don't really care for breakfast at breakfast time! yes, I'm weired, I know! 
Ohara I need you to cater for my bil's wedding (well 1st he has to get divorced but that's another story for another thread 
). My husband's step-mom is saying she's going to cook for it and all I want to do is 
I've never really known anyone that was a terrible cook-till her! But she thinks she is the world's greatest Italian cook-blah! Seriously, dumping a can of plain tomato sauce into a pot isn't my idea of great sauce! Oh yeah and she volunteered me to make the cake!
Tonight we had:
Meatloaf a'la dodibug (don't know if it's Italian meatloaf, southern or what so dh said it's a'la dodibug )
mashed red potatoes
little green peas
homemade biscuits (Alton Brown recipe-came out really good-not as good as my momma's but good)
I broke down and bought some Coke. I was trying to be good and lay off but I need my fix!
Hey, Y'all!
I went through my house today like a white tornado! My vaccuum got so hot it cut off on me four times! I really want a nice new one. Something like a DYSON or whatever, but that'll be a while for $400!! (The cheapie one I've got now cost me a whole $40! 
)
I had a BIG chunk of the Thanksgiving ham left over in the freezer. I put that in with black-eyed peas this evening. Throw in some good ol' bisquits, and----Yummm.
--Knox--
P.S: DANG, MONICA!!! Why don't you just make me drool why don'tcha with all that good church party food!!
Good Evening yall.
I can not believe it but I have a cake order for the Dec 15. I am so excited I could 'POP'. Its going to be a butterfly cup cake cake. Have any of you all done a Cup Cake Cake? Any good pointers?
Knox- you were cracking me up with that vacuum comment.
Dodi-I love breakfast for dinner too so I do not think thats weird.
Ohara- I catered my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary in January. It was for about 40 people. It was TONS of fun.
PEACOCKPLACE: I hereby don Thee "Most Welcomest New Newb!"
(I get to bang the gavel 'cause I'm Knoxcop. We ain't got us a judge at the table yet!)Glad to have you!
There's plenty to get hungry about 'round here.--Knox--
i officially name you 'your honor' & 'hostess extraordinaire' of this thread (of course you're still below jackie, heath & the mods. 
)
Ohara--thanks for the update on everyone, i needed it.
PeacockPlace--Welcome
Everyone else--Knox hasn't been on my case (b/c she's been so busy) so i haven't been on since right after thanksgiving (got tired of saying leftovers every night after 
)
supper tonight was--
mustard greens w/turnip roots
cracklin cornbread
spiral sliced ham
sweet tea
now most of y'all know I DIDN'T eat that, i had frozen pizza
daltonam - WELCOME back!! I have missed you.
WElCOME back Dalt!!!!
I don't like breakfast for breakfast either, I'll only eat it at dinner time which drives my mom and MIL crazy That's why we had breakfast food for dinner tonight. Just left a christmas concert played by the Toledo Symphony at St.Joes church (my friends church) it's always so amazing to hear the different styles of music and then people singing. Too bad I can't stay for their cookies and treats afterwards made by a bakery, darn those kids and the responsibilities of being a mommy .
Anyways dinner #2 is cake balls or cake gems as my mom calls them.
We had ham sandwiches. Spent most of the day at the doc office with mom. Just barely had time to scarf down the sandwiches and chips before church.
Knox--Mom bought us a Dyson with the roller ball turning thing (how that for technical). We absolutely love it.
Ok My DS made Chili Mac that I usually do. But I had to guide him through it Because I was trying to get bro's girlfriends B-Day cake done. I couldn't take it over there today to work on. It turned out cute, I wanted to do more but I was ok with it. And she was totally suprised. I wound up making a purple camo cake. I did those dang stars on it But it looked good that way. I need to get the pics developed and hope they turn out.
Welcome back Daltonam
Monica congrats on the cake order 
Your feast sounded good.
Knox I guess do like we did last year. Tear it apart find out if something is broke and super glue it. Put it back together and hope I will vacuum just one more time That is what I had to do last year at christmas time. And DH got me a $40 vacuum for christmas I know how high priced they can be
We do breakfast for dinner and lunch alot. Especially on the weekend. When we are lazy
Ohara your soup sounds good. It is going to get COLD here tonight 9 degrees and with windchill -5 BBBRRRRR
Well last night I made Medeterranian (sp?) soup for church. I was so yeuum. My family ate at MIL's house. we were going to have left over soup tonight, but I forgot and left it on the stove all night. 
Now I have to come up with something else.
Tonight is BBQ pork roast, brown n serve rolls, broccoli and cheese and corn.
bbq --yummy
and medit. soup sounds soooo good.
We are having spegetti with melted mozz. cheese on top with crumbled up crispy bacon, green beans and garlic bread.
Tonight we had:
Chicken Breasts
Black beans and rice
carrots
cottage cheese
dinner rolls
We ended up with turkey burgers and applesause, but I did manage to finally get the Christmas tree up!

Everybody must be busy. Hope I don't forget anyone. If I do I humbly apologize.
O'hara...Your soup sounded so good I had to make one of my own tonight. If I decide on chicken breast tommorow you'll know where I swiped the idea from. Thank you for sharing my vacation happiness. DS did good even though he could only handle things for a limited time. It helped that our hotel was only a block up and had a shuttle going every 20min. With that service I could take him 'home' anytime he need to be there.
Moni...I gained weight just reading your post. Okay, it is all imaginary but now I'll have to do imaginary exercises. ?...What is Pumpkin Fluff? Congrats on the CCC order. We haven't done one yet, but I'm thinking real hard about giving it a try.
mkolmar...Breakfast for dinner. I'm not a fan of it for breakfast either. 
Your spaghetti sounds delish. I'll have to try that one day. I like the name 'Cake Gems' it sounds so Posh. 
Dodi...Mmmm I love meatloaf, but couldn't make it if my life depended on it. 'Meatloaf a'la Gloria' will always taste like Alpo. It happens everytime I touch ground beef.
knox...You're one very busy vacationing lady, whipping up Tornados. Blk-eye peas w/ham, & biscuits. -I'll take a Dbl shot Tornado, if you please. What??? It's called a Hurricane? Okay I'll take a Dbl shot of one of those too. 
daltonam...Good girl, breaking out the cooking pans and borrowing recipes from knox. And to think I was expecting you to have more frozen pizza's. Shame on me.
Psssst... 
I think knox is the table Mom , and your the Hostess 
. I could be wrong though, all those imaginary exercises I did earlier may have been to hard on my brain. 
juju...Mmmm love ham sandwiches & bbq pork roast, but those Brwn-N-Serve rolls, ooooooh I really love them. They always bring back the memory of school lunches when I smell them.
KC...My DH is always telling me to 'Delegate'. I guess if I did I'd be able to make a cake while dinner was cooking. Hope your Bro's GF loved it, and let us know when you get it in your Gallery. 
pea... I'm sure your soup would have tasted good tonight too ,but your Turkey Burgers were a quick fix, and at least you did have time to do what you wanted to.
Okay I think I'm caught up with everyone tonight.
See you all tommorrow.
Ok it was our crazy dance practice night. So DD wanted left over taco salad from a few days ago. DS had his leftover Chili Mac and Tator Tots. Me I don't know what I will make to eat for myself. I snacked on a few tator tots earlier.
Glories my DS loves to cook. He is almost 16. He is taking a foods class this year at school and loves it. He sometimes needs some help. Especially if it is something that I make that he loves and wants to replicate it. So if I am really busy he will help cook
Mxpark Where are you??? You must be very busy and I hope your feeling well
Date Night...
Tonight's Menu
************
???? For DH & I
Leftovers-
Caldo De Albondiga
or 5 Cheese Ravioli
or Homemade Tacos for the Kiddo's
They could also opt to eat none of that
and have their Poppa buy Pizza.
************
KC... So nice that your big guy loves to cook. Then when he is on his own you won't have to worry about him starving on the nights he isn't at your table.
It's a good thing for me that no one was hungry for dinner conversation last night. Since returning from vacation I've been walking circles around this table trying to catch up.
Whew...now I can sit down and snack.
meaetloaf tastes like alpo.... don't worry I'm not to swift at it either.
I'm sick with a stomach bug so I'm not eating tonight. (nothing makes you feel better than cc time though ) My kids had tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwhiches and for dessert the ice cream cookie sandwhiches that my MIL bought them (which taste kind of funky so they only took a few bites and now they are melting)
mkolmar....sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon. I love tomato soup with grilled cheese, my mom would fix it when we were kids.
Morningglories...glad you could catch up on the dinner convrsation.
Spent a few hours today Christmas shopping. I am hoping to start wrapping tommorow.
Tonight we had enchiladas
refried beans
taco chips
We had corndogs and pringles. With apple pie and ice cream for dessert.
Tomorrow will be parades all day. We go to at least 5. Brrrr!
Tonight was:
Campbell's creamy veg & chicken casserole.
Take a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and mix in a can of Cream of mushroom and 1/2 cup sour cream. Place 1/2 box dry stuffing mix on the bottom of a 13x9. Mix the rest of the stuffing mix with 1 cup water and 3 tbs. butter. Chicken breast chunks on top of the dry stuffing. Mixed vegetables mixture over top of this, and then the prepared (wet) stuffing on top of that. Bake for 45 minutes or so at like 375.
--Knox--
I'M BAAAACCCCK!!!
I've been so busy! Since I started Passion Parties, I've been swamped with stuff to do....parties, working on my website, getting a merchant account together, etc... Anyway - I also got hired for the Wilton instructor position so I've been working on all my paperwork for that. So yeah....
Tonight was just a quick stop at McDonald's. 
I took my little brothers to see High School Musical: The Concert. It was great! I felt odd because I'm old and I knew all the lyrics to all of the songs and I even knew some of the dance moves from the movie.
Anyway - I'm glad I'm back. I missed y'all!!!
I babysat tonight kiddo had chili mac left overs. Dh and DS had Hot ham and cheese sandwiches. I really don't know what I want to eat yet. I have been working and need to get to bed soon. Probably ham and chees also. But know tomato soup sounds good.
Mxpark we missed you to. I was about ready to send knoxcop after you You know the boss lady(MOM) But she was to busy also I am happy for your good times And I would say busy times OLD You don't know old honey You are in your 20's aren't you??
Knox your casserole sounds good. I gotta try it now
JUJU parades?? for what?? To Dang cold I think our homecoming parade is a PAIN and it is in Oct. THIS IS DEC
Ohara 
Don't tell me that I am bad mommy I don't even have the tree up to put wrapped gifts under. I will have to do it this weekend. I was going to do it last weekend but I kind of had my hands full.
mkolmar That is the only way to have tomato soup is with grilled cheese I hope you feel better soon
glories What is date night?? my Dh works overnight so we don't get that. Somtimes we do lunch but not often But we get quality time when kids are at school That is why DS wants to know all my secrets for his favs. But he said his still don't taste as good as mine I don't tell him everything. No I am joking. He just has a listening problem
Easy and delicious chicken (from allrecipes.com) over rice, with green beans.
Christmas decorations and lights are finally all done. I don't know why it took me so long this year.
Oh yea, Santa just ordered me The Cake Bible from walmart!
Lawwwd, y'all! Have y'all looked at the TRAFFIC this weekend?? Shoo!
SHOPPING: Laaawwwd-habb-mursee. I got behind some nasty ol' skeezer woman in line. She...well, she---(blew one off) right in FRONT of me! Yeah. I gave her the AWFULest (country word for "damnedest") look and switched lines. Yeah...along with three other people. Other than that, I bought my kid a computer, and a PSP game. That's it so far. You know how when you've actually GOT cash? There's never anything you want. Now if you're BROKE...yeah--you want everything in sight!
KAY: Ham and cheese sammiches sound good right now!
MORNINGGLORIES: Date night?? My idea of "quality time" with my Old Man is when I get his paycheck! I'll make you a tornado or hurricane next time you get to Knoxville.
MXPARK: We missed you girl!
JUJU: 5 parades? I'll bet you get colder 'n Cooty Brown!
O'HARA: Enchiladas! My friend was talking to me today about some enchiladas. I might have to make some...
MKOLMAR: Hope you get better soon. Nothing more than being sick to your stomach. I know. I was sick like that every day just about, for like 10 years.
PEACOCK: At least you've got your tree up. You're ahead of me--I'm doing ours next Friday.
DODI & MONICA: Where y'all at??
--Knox--
Howdy ya'll!!! I'm feeling a little better today. 3 of my kids are staying a night with my mom and my 10 year old niece is there too! I bet she would have never asked if she realized my Dad was going to Tennesse with my brother on a run in his rig. So I only had my youngest one with me who is 1 1/2. My kids did eat pizza that granny brought over before they left.
It's 9:30 pm here right now and my DH is still at work and he left at 9 am this morning---I'm making him Cajun Chicken Pasta when he gets home. I'm not risking eating anything more than bland ol' cheerios right now!
KNOX: shopping is crazy right now girl! I can't blaim you for switching lines--YUCK!
MORNINGGLORIES: Date night sounds fun.
JUJU--you are insaine for going to 5 parades in this cold, I need you to go speak to a professional just kidding
and to everyone else here --I hope you are doing fine and well this evening! Sorry to cut it short but I have a final exam I have to study for over about 800 pages of material and I've been putting it off till now. I'm sorry but my teachers need to know that CC is just too ADDICTIVE!
mkolmar Speaking of addictive. I was making grilled cheese for babysiting kids. Or should I say burning grilled cheese. I thought the big pan will take awhile to heat up. I decided to check my mail from CC and burned the first 3. I now remember why I don't cook and CC at the same time Glad you are feeling better
Knox I took DS to get shoes for an early B-Day gift and OMG. K-mart and Target then we went home. I later went to my favorite place Hobby Lobby and they were pack house as well. Had to use my 40% coupon to get DS a model for his B-Day. MAN I hate shopping when there are tons of people
Ok kiddos had the grilled cheese with mac-n-cheese. And DS and my nephew stopped by and polished the rest of Mac-n-cheese off. I made DH steak and baked potato. We were going to eat together tonight. But he took DD to the Ice age movie. His work paid for all the employees and thier kids to go. So afterwork this morning he took her. And he stayed up to spend some time with her. So I fed him early so he could get some sleep. No date night tonight oh well he will be off for a week and half over Christmas. So I will get some quality time and then some WHEN DO YOU GO BACK TO WORK I AM PULLING MY HAIR OUT TIME Him and the KIDS DS will have his drivers licencse then so he will probably make himself scarce. So maybe no fighting with his sister
