fend for yourself day. i'm having potstickers from costco and a vanilla drumstick. yum!
I got roast beef from the grocery store deli and rolls and made french dip sandwiches with au jus and potato salad. Quick and easy, just how I like it! Also one of DH's faves so it scores points too!
It is cold here UUGGHHH!!
And our heater isn't working. So my family has lots of requests for warm food. So tonight I made chicken over biscuits. Simple (place butter biscuits in bottom of pan in a bowl mix lg can cr. chicken soup, sm can cr. celery, Shredded cooked chicken.) Place on biscuits and bake. You can use can chicken if you want or any left over chicken taken off the bone. My family totally loves this.
But I am also going to make chili tonight for son. He wants chili and DD wants meatloaf. So I made them a deal. I would make the chili later tonight and he could have it as leftovers for a few days. (it is always better the second day) And she could have meatloaf tomorrow and leftovers for a few days. So Dh will have the leftover biscuits he doesn't like chili or meatloaf all that well. And I will have which ever leftover sounds good. Makin it easy for a few days anyway.
So I can get started on some cakes that I need done this month. I will bake them and freeze them. That way I can use my oven for a reason and also warm up my house. I hope our landlord gets someone over here soon to work on heater![]()
Tonight was
Homemade "petros"
Tea w/ lemons & limes
Been busy planning for a birthday cake order I've got due on Saturday. It's going to be a 12x18 sheet with two carved cakes on top.
Construction theme for a 5 year old little boy.
The carved cakes will be a little bull-dozer and a dump truck. So, I've got some drawing and measuring of the old pound cakes to do!
The weather dude said it was going to get down to the 50's on Thurs/Friday. That's the excuse I need to start with the thick, creamy soups! I'm thinking cream of broccoli, broccoli & cheese, loaded baked potato, etc.
*drifts off to sleep with visions of soups and crusty breads in the head*
--Knox--
Homemade beef soup and fresh baked biscuits
Tonight:
Crock-pot pork roast w/potatoes
Green beans
Tea w/ lemons & limes
--Knox--
Sniff, I don't get to play this game, I live alone and eat just whatever I can do the quickest, tonight it was microwave nachos.
I don't even read this very often, makes me so hungry and envious. Janice
Where have I been??? Did you keep my place at the table?? ![]()
We went home this past weekend to visit my nanny. She's been down lately and seeing my little noodle (ds) helps cheer her up. We lost my grandpa in July and their 56th wedding anniversary is coming up so we're all trying to help keep her spirits up.
And we're trying to get packed to move this weekend! I hate moving! but we'll save $215 a month!!
Last night:
Thai peanut stir-fry
tonight:
dh had gotten a gift cert to Sonny's bbq so that's what we had!
Ya'll would be proud! I made my very first pot roast the other day! dh didn't used to eat beef so I'd never made one. It turned out really good and now Iknow what to do for the next one to make it even better! ![]()
We had lasagna and fried potatoes.
Lemonade to drink.
dodibug, I'll sit next to you, this way if the others who have come to the table regularly decide to scold us, they can save their time and energy by scolding in one direction..... ![]()
By the way, happy to hear about your success in making Pot Roast. ![]()
Tonight the family ate from a friends little business.
She sells things you usually find at Fairs here in SA.
Roasted corn, Tortas, Raspas, Fruit cups, Funnel cakes, Tacos...etc.
She called, took everyones order then delivered it before going home.
I did not feel like eating tonight so I had coffee and a cupcake.
veejaytx, Please feel free to join us at the table anytime. You would be surprised at how little we eat sometimes. Then too maybe you won't feel as though you have to eat alone. Right Ladies?
Thanks morningglories, have to admit eating alone is boring, and cooking for one is worse, so if it can't be microwaved, I probably don't eat it.
From your dinner last night, I would have loved the roasted corn and a taco, with a funnel cake for dessert (never had one of those). Thanks, Janice
We had St Louis Style honey BBQ pork ribs. I cooked them in my slow cooker but the smell is horrible. My ds says it smells like someone peed in our food. They tasted yummy though. Wonder if my crock pot is defective and will always smell weird...??? We had baked potatoes and green beans to go along with it. On the positive side DH said they were the best tasting ribs ever.
went to costco to pick up some stuff so we ate there.....polish dogs, churros, and coke.
picked up a magazine titled chocolate....lots of yummy stuff in there!!! and costco has such a wide selection of baking cookbooks right now! wish i had the money to buy them all!
DH and I celebrated our 3rd anniversery tonight. And we have had a long week as far as work was concerned. We were going to go out to dinner, but we were both too tired. So we agreed to go out this weekend and stayed in tonight at ate leftovers. DH had some Chicken, green beans and a roll. I had leftover noodles, chicken and carrots with soy sauce.
And now (as usual) I got in bed at 9, slept for about an hour or two and am awake again. I even took a sleeping pill!
I really need a good nights sleep. *sigh*
I'm posting this early thursday morning so....
Last nights dinner menu:
Kiddos had Pizza
DH and I went to the Movies.
DH had a pretzel,
I had a hotdog.
We shared a popcorn and a coke.
Janice if you ever come to San Anton.. let me know, I'll make sure you get that roasted corn, taco, and a Funnel cake. ![]()

La La Land. Any way they all had the leftover I had planned so I could get cakes done. But only made the pumkin pudding cake the other day it was so yummy. I added it to a butter BC mix and it was AWESOME. But I am finding out alot off people can't find the pumkin spice pudding from jello (limited time out) It is great any way not much cakes got done today as I had planned.
hockeygirl HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

BBQ ribs, still taking advantage of the good weather to cook outside.
I'm back to live vicariously with your menus.
morningglories, thanks for the invitation, that's very sweet of you. We lived in San Antonio for 5 years, my youngest was born there at the Nix hospital in 1964.
Happy Anniversary, Hockey Girl!
I'm back...been busy and haven't been to the table for a while... The weather is really cold here today. Its 35 and the wind is blowing 20-30 mph.
veejaytx- welcome to the table. You can eat with us anytime
kay- hope you feel better soon
Janice- you haven't lived till you've had a funnel cake.
Last night:
Beef stew with dinner rolls.
DODI: Glad to see you back, girl! (Still you can send the child to me. I want the noodle!
)
MXPARK AND VEEJAY: I hereby don Thee both as MOST WELCOMEST NEW NEWBS! (I'm Knoxcop, so I get to bang the gavel. We ain't got us a judge here yet!) 


JUJU: Have you tried the crock-pot liners? I refuse to crock without 'em!
MORNINGGLORIES: Wish I had a lady like that living close to me! ![]()
HOCKEYGIRL: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! 
KAYCHRSTENSEN: Girl, I hope you got your heating fixed! Dang--I can come over there and scare your landlord, if you want!
All that and you're sick, too---sheesh. Hope it all gets better!
OHARA: You're back! *cheers madly and does happy dance*
Last night I made a PORK ROAST POT PIE (that's like "P" to the 4th power!) I made it with the leftover pork roast from Tuesday. Used store bought pie crust, filled it with pieces of chopped pork, potatoes (also from roast pot), onions and celery (I sauteed them) and some frozen peas. I topped that with two packets of white gravy mix, and baked it.
The crust came out soooo crispy and flaky. And the filling----mmmmmm!
It was just an idea I had in my head to use up some leftovers. It was amazing. ![]()
I'm not sure about tonight, but I'm thinking maybe some spaghetti.
--Knox--
Last night ds and I had breaded and fried pork chops, homemade mashed potatoes and green peas.
Tonight I think shepard's pie since I need to get rid of the leftover potatoes!
Happy anniversary hockeygirl!
knox-dh laughs at me cause I hate to leave little man. I do it because I know we need to get away sometimes so you can borrow him (just for a little while though!!
)
No hadn't thought about the crock pot liners but it still would have smelled. Finally took the removable part out and it smelled like someone peed in it. Yuck so I have to clean the bottom of it and the burner part to keep it from smelling again. Not sure what's for supper yet.
KC: so sorry to hear you and DD are both sick...but without heat and the colder temps how can you not be sick!! I feel guilty for running my AC, while you need heat. The Pumpkin Pudding cake sounds DELISH. Couldn't Pumpkin Pie Spice be added to vanilla pudding for the same flavor expierence? Just wondering. 
Sams: I'm with you on the BBQ. I'm going to see if DH will do us up a nice one over the weekend. I love it when he does, because he wants to do everything. I get to sit back and chill.
VJ: My best friend is a nurse at NIX in the newborn nursery! The invitation stands, whenever you get a chance to come down.
OHARA!: Your here!, can that mean that Tara will post again soon? ...For the newbies, Tara is the 'Mistress' of this Supper Table, she's the one who invited everyone to share, 'What's For Supper?'.......Beefstew sounds yummy for the cold weather.
Knox: That new recipe of yours sounds like a keeper in my recipe box. I love anything yummy and easy. I don't like cooking so I make it as painless for myself as possible without making it tasteless for the family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tonight's Menu:
Roasted Chicken
Salad
French Bread
Sweet Ice Tea
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's still to hot here to make any yummy comfort foods. ![]()
I love comfort foods and that's about the only time I don't gripe about cooking. Oh well.
Gloria I
We had beanie weanies again with smoked sausage instead of hot dogs. And fried potatoes. Doing quick and easy this week. Thankfully I'm almost over whatever was wrong with me.
Hey everybody thanks for your well wishes. They got our heater fixed last night
We are feeling alittle better. Not coughing as much but my back and ribs hurt like****. So I am glad you guys haven't been overly funny lately. ![]()
Knox your invention sound good to me. If you don't mind I will tuck that one in my make soon file
And thanks for the info that the crockpot liners really work. I have been wanting to try them but didn't want to waste the money ![]()
OHARA Glad to see you back Yum beef stew
Dodibug Great idea for tators ![]()
morningglories Don't feel bad about the AC keep cool
And about the pumpkin spice pudding it tastes like pumpkin pie. It has a great pumpkin flavor. ![]()
juju you guys eat alot of fried tators YUMMY
If it weren't such a pain to peel them I would have em everyday.
Well I better get those cakes baked. Need 2 for this weekend ![]()
Kay I use a vegetable peeler for them. Makes it so much easier than using a knife. And yes my family (not me) eat a lot of fried potatoes. My kids absolutely love them. I generally just fry 4 potatoes and that is enough to feed them.
