Tonight it was to the chiro after driving around town between work and appointment. After the chiro we headed to Subway so I had a Honey Oat sandwhich with tuna and sweet onion sauce, and a sugar cookie.
welcome to the table dueter!
Ohara-I am doing a sheet metal apprenticeship so I am working towards a Journeyman (or woman but there are very few Journeywoman out there soo... I dont' get to techinical since I work in a male dominated career) This is my fourth year so I will be done in may!!! Yeah!! The next few months will be pretty hectic though b/c as fourth year students we attend the craft championships in the state, and then the winner of state goes to nationals.
wgoat5 - yeah it has made me sick before also, heck I made a cake one time for a family wedding (grooms cake) and had to travel 6 hours to take the cake, well I was eating the scraps the day before when I was making it and we had to pull over on the side of the road a few times for me to get sick... it took me about 4 days to get all of the "sweets" out of my system before I started to feel better. It sucks but I guess it is a good thing b/c then it means that I must be giving my body the good stuff!
Melissa - oh cereal, I wish I could get away with that. Maybe when BF goes on vacation in a couple of months.
It is nice and cool here is iowa too, It looks like we have finally gotten rid of the hot weather, or at least for the next couple of weeks! I love this time of year, windows open, oven on during the day! (and not sweating to death b/c of it)
ATTENTION!!!!!!
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT......
we had ham, cheese & pototo casserole for supper

Ohara I am doing ok. Since the weather is changing my allergies are kicking my BUTT.
Welcome to the table dueter.. Don't ya just love it when you don't gotta cook..
Last night I had the most disgusting thing happen. WARNING IT IS GROSS. I had bought hamburger on Monday night. Didn't go to cook meatloaf and some hamburgers for DH till Tues. night. OMG it was so gross. I opened the package no over powering smell. I made up 3 burgers put them in the pan. I mix up the meatloaf to put in the oven. The burgers start to cook and smell really bad. They literally smelled like COW POO. LIKE COW POO. I almost got sick from the smell. DH use to work in a processing plant and said it sounded like they got intestines mixed into the hamburger. So I go to the store today to get my money back and to tell the butcher what had happened. He explained to me that the sell by date is basically for them. And that you should cook meat especially hamb. the day you by it or freeze it. I haven't ever had this happen to me before. But I think the problem goes deeper. He then tells me that the one that I bought that was on sale was a 80% and that they themselves don't grind it there. They get it from a plant and then they regrind it with some of theres.. So it is ground twice.. So he gave me a new package of Hamb. the 93% lean that they grind. This is the one I usually get. But the other was on sale. I need to cook it tonight and I am scared. That smell really got to me. I now know not to get the cheap hamb. from there anymore.
Well I better go for now DS wants the computer..
Hi y'all I am new to this topic its nice to read all these * and get ideas ( sorta in a food rut ) ( I need new inspirations !).
Last night we had Chinese Chicken Cassarole. A recipe I got from my aunt simple easy and kids love it.
4 grilled chicken breasts * diced*
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 large onion * chopped*
1 whole celery bunch * chopped*
6 dashes of tabasco
2 tbs water
2 tbs soy sauce
put in the ove to heat through and cook the veggies * about 20 mins at 375*
then on the top put a can of cashew halves and a bag of chinese crispy noodles and put back in oven to toast the topping just a little bit about 5 mins.
Then let cool this is one of those meals that is best when its cooled off a bit or reheated.
hugs have a great day !
Monica

hey there. Like this thread! Maybe it will inspire me to actually make dinner. it's too hot in Phoenix in the summer to cook much, but......
tonight it's shrimp enchiladas verde. new recipe that look really good and easy
WELCOME TO THE TABLE EVERYONE! (AND YOU TOO TARA---WE MISSED YA GIRL!)
kay- good Lord, I was gaging reading that. I'm so picky about the meat I buy it ain't even funny.
Leily--what a cool job field! Hey, how is the house hunting going?
Ohara--you still tired, I am! Must be something in the air.
Christi--mmmmm, chili with hot dogs. that sounds good right now and I'm not a big hot dog eater.
Dinner was a lot of different things--- I made granola bars with choc. chips-honey and peanut butter and granola bars with choc chips-honey-raisins-sunflower seeds and peanut butter, scrambled eggs, french toast made with texas toast for the kids and french toast made out of a french baghet for DH and me (the bread dipping mixture was egg-milk-cinnamon- sugar and apple spice: then I sprinkle a little sugar on them when they are cooking on each side) topped DH's french toast with heated up fresh peaches. Also, made some peaches and cream muffins (next time I'll put a crumb topping on them) and of course bacon.
I have a lot of dishes to wash so I'm gonna get going and then crash after I put the lil' ones to bed.
oh it makes me mad when quote doesn't work right--LOL, wonder what i did wrong up there.
okay, tonight was leftovers of last night & i forgot to say that i had chicken chili last night -- yummy

2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 C. sour cream

In another bowl combine eggs, sour cream, oil and extracts: mix well.

Cut butter in the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle this on top of the muffin mixture and bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Tell me how you like this---and you can be honest with me 
Melissa
Melissa

thanks a bunch for the recipe
I swear you all out cook me all the time...WELL...lets see I tried to put together tomorrows dinner LETS SEE HOW THAT GOES...burnt the burgers to a crisp tonight so it was chicken noodle soup and crackers 
needless to say...DH was NOT a happy man!!!
Turkey breast/stuffing, mashed potatoes and fried corn with angel biscuits
Tara....it is so good to have you back at the table. You have been missed. Your casserole sounds yummy.
Melissa....yes it's the air here in Ohio. Do you think I could use canned peaches, drained well, in the muffin recipe.
Kay...Yes that is disgusting. I actually had that happen to me recently, just with pork chops. Yuck. Sorry, you had to deal with that. What did you feed them all for dinner?
leily....WOW....that wasn't the answer I was expecting. That is so awesome. I am so impressed.
Monica....thanks for the casserole recipe. I think my DH will love it. Welcome to the table.
Christi.....what a bummer about your burgers. I am living through y'alls dinners. your gonna have to do better than chicken noodle soup
cakescraps......Welcome. I'm glad you like it here. Pick your chair, make sure it's a comfy one.....hope you stick around.
I had most of the day off. DH took care of DD this afternoon and evening. I ended up going shopping with my dear friend. It was so nice not to have any thing I HAD to do today. Or a time I had to be home. I did spend way more money than I should have. Everything I bought was on sale, if that counts for anything. I had a salad with chicken for dinner.
Jennifer

Monica
Monica Here is another warm welcome to the table.. And to anyone else I missed...
Melissa that muffin recipe sounds AWESOME..
Ohara that night of NASTY... I had already sauted mushrooms to put on hamburgers for Dh beakfast/supper.. So I made him a cheese omlet with mushrooms. And the meatloaf was to be supper for us the next night. So we kind of had left overs.. I was so GROSS I did make Dh the Hamburgers with the free meat the next night.
almost holding my nose just incase. but NO SMELL THANK GOD. I mixed up some meatloaf but froze it for later this weekend.. Not going to take a chance..
Melissa I am so picky also on meat but never knew thay did that with there chaep meat.... NOW I KNOW I am still not wanting to cook or eat meat
leily you go girl that is one tough job... KICK THOSE BOYS BUTTS....
Christi I did get a Pm with a pic of your insipration How did it go??
Ok I really need to go to bed sorry if I missed someone
Ohara--it would probably work with drained well canned peaches, I just haven't tried it yet, but I would think it would work, just make sure to chop them up though.
Kay--I once bought the grocery stores brand of meat on sale and found a piece of metal wire in it! I now go to the meat market when I can and buy their ground chuck on sale or ground sirloin. (NEVER---NEVER---NEVER--BUY JUST HAMBURGER) It's all the leftovers and who know's whats in it. Learned last semester that they use ANY part of the steer to make h-burg (that's any edibal part---did you know eyeballs are considered edible) I was literally gagging watching them go into details in class--I wasn't the only one though. Oh and of course they had a video to show (gag!) I won't even get into the chickens-- All I'll say on that is to not buy from the large companies like Tyson, Perdue and so on.
Tara--yes, I have a name
Christ--you cook great meals!!!!
mmmm monica your dishes sound sooooo good!
cakescraps--how did the shrimp enchiladas verd turn out --that sounds like something that would go over well in culinary class.
I should have probably posted this a while back in the beginning of spring --the start of grilling season---but just now thought of it.
I have some great tips on making sure you have juicy burgers, if you want them.
I have some bacon strips I crumbled up and put aside in the fridge yesterday so I'm going to make pasta with homemade marinara sauce-sauted chicken and crumbled up bacon with a layer of cheese melted on top. And the cheesy bread I make a lot. It's really easy to do to! I just buy a regular french baghet and slice it in half. Put a layer of softend butter on it, sprinkle on whatever seasoning I want (usually, garlic powder is the main one and whatever else sounds good at the time) and then put a good ol' layer of any italian style shredded cheese on top and bake. YUM! You can also make french bread pizza's this way too. Just slice the french bread in half and put a little seasoning on the bread, put you pizza sauce or marinara on it, layer whatever meat (pre-cooked!!) on top and then a layer of cheese on top of that, then bake.
Hmmmm, come to think of it--maybe I'll do that instead with the leftover bacon. Bacon with cheese pizza for kids and bacon with cheese and chicken french bread pizza for DH.
Okay, ended up doing Campbells salsbury steak veggie soup, pasta and cheesy bread. DH only wanted the soup and kids just the pasta and bread. I still have the bacon so I've got to do something with it by tomorrow.
I had Broccoli and Salmon Quiche, with a tossed Salad, and Sticky toffee pudding
last night we had
acre peas w/ham
rice
cornbread
rotisserie chicken (from walmart )
sweet tea

Hey all!! I am coming on to tell ya whats for breakfast LOL.
Pancakes, bacon and maple syrup
with some very strong coffee
It's sooooo cold this morning I had to get up and put on my pants right when I got up.
Talk to you all this afternoon!!
Friday night took oldest DD out to dinner. Went to Spaghetti Warehouse. I was very disappointed in the food and service.
Saturday I woke up early (4:30 am) so I baked cinnamon raisin bread. It tasted good just wasn't quite right. DH and I had plans to spend the day at a local blues festival, so I made homemade vegetable beef soup and I baked Italian bread (DH's favorite). We also took hot cocoa and cookies. After DD's soccer game we went to the festival. We had a GREAT day. Only would have liked it to be a little warmer( and no wind).
Tara...what are acre peas?
Christi....no fair posting yummy breakfast. lol I love breakfast food, just don't want to go to the effort this morning. Pathetic I know.
Melissa....I am no fan of cold weather either. We had frost this morning. I have a tendency to not like fall because I know what's coming. I am trying not to be like that this year. But so far it's a struggle.
stickytoffeepudding......I love quiche. DH doesn't so I usually only get to have it out...or at "girl" parties.
Hope everyone has a great day.
I almost forgot to say welcome to the table stickytoffeepudding!
Christi-- mmmm bacon, can never go wrong with bacon!!!
Tara-- whenever I hear the Gators are playing I think of you.
Ohara--I LOVE the blues!!!!!!! My grandpa use to make me sit and listen to it with him and I got hooked. He always would say "boy, that's so lonesome ain't it" My Dad and I listen to it a lot. Drives my DH nuts but he'll listen to some of it.
Everyone else must be busy so I'll chat with ya'll later!
I have no clue what to cook for dinner.
