Chabba- I think it was you that tried O2B's upside down pizza? Did you use crescent or biscuits? I am trying to get my dinners planned for grocery shopping tomorrow and I want to try her recipe

There is a Sheppard's Pie in the oven, it should be ready in about 10 minutes. I love the Delmonte corn with the white kernals. Almost like a butter and sugar corn.

Sure:
1 1/2 lbs of ground beef, I like to use 85% because it has more of a flavor
2 cans of your choice of corn, I like to use the yellow and white kernal corn. Delmonte or Green Giant
Betty Crocker Garlic and Herb instant potatoes or you can mash your own, I work over 9 hours a day so I don't have the time to peel and wait for the potatoes to cook. Besides my DH loves instant potatoes.
Cook the beef, add herbs like ground rosemary, thyme, what ever you like to throw in to spice up the beef.
Drain the beef and corn. I put the corn in a pan just bring it to a boil.
First I put the beef on the bottom of the cassarole dish, then add the corn the spread the potatoes to cover, dot with butter or marg or olivio.
Bake at 350 for an hour or until potatoes brown slightly. Makes two meals for us.

ho made chicken noodle soup with farmer noodles (from a sack). I love chicken noodle soup.
BTW... you could indeed put the turkey breast in a slow cooker i guess. it doesn't need a lot of water. FWIW.. we overcooked it, roasted it, deep fried it in emergencies.. it was all good if it survived a dry out.

Laurie, To save a bit of money for the center I made biscuits and rolled them quite thin and cut them inserving size biscuits for the topping. It worked very well.

Walley: I've had regular & raspberry. If you can only get one, try the regular first.

thanks Chabba!
For my shepards pie I do it like Deb- only I use one can of corn and one can of creamed corn. I don't bother to heat my corn beforehand either. I just layer the cooked burger, then the corn topped with potatoes. I bake mine for about 20-30 minutes at 350.
Tonight was the burger with tomato sauce over zucchini. I realized as I was cooking it that it is quite similar to O2B's upside down pizza. I am still putting the upside down pizza on next weeks menu, now to figure out the other 6 nights :P
Michelle- You've been quiet, I hope all is well with your DH gone!

Tonight's dinner was delish! I was hungry for steak so thawed out a package of 2 ribeyes. Dh is great at grilling steaks. We had boiled golden potatoes (only 1 small one for me) with Smart Balance and light sour cream. Also sliced green tomatoes cooked in a hot oven. Brushed the slices with EVOO, sprinkled them with salt and pepper. After about 10 min. took them out and put grated Asiago cheese on them. Back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
I ate half a steak and got my beef fix.
Tomorrow I'm planning to cook Cuban black beans.

I went to World Market and they had all the flavors......but I did notice Saturday they are having a Holiday Tasting.They will let you sample different things.I will go and sample then....thanks so much for your replys.

I used to have a World Market about five minutes from my house. There are none anywhere near me.
Yesterday after my post-surgery followup, I went to a casino in Providence, RI. It's quite new, nice and had a huge smoke-free area, which made me very happy. It's about an hour from Boston and an hour and forty-five minutes from my house. My only complaint would be a lack of typical slots - like three reel quarter machines. Thousands of electronic penny machines, I guess they are where it's at in the slot gaming world. I ate a yummy, juicy Johnny Rockets burger and a diet coke float. Huge indulgence, I must say!
Laurie - maybe steak tips would satisfy your DH's steak craving...or a nice stirfry with steak and loads of veggies. That would stretch your steak dollars. My kids always liked stirfries. I made them teriyaki style when I used beef. How are the boys doing?

pizza with sourdough crust..... that's the request anyway.

Michelle- I am glad to hear you are enjoying your "me" time! The boys are doing better today, last night I was wondering if I was going to have to bring my older son back in, he was still having a really hard time breathing. But today he seems to be more rambunctious and trying to runaround more and not losing his breath as easy. So yay!
I got my DH his steak, it was actually priced pretty well so I got him a Nice london broil for under 4 dollars. We'll have that tonight with salad some sauteed carrots and scalloped potatoes. It is so nice out, I am sure he'll even enjoy grilling it.
Apple- your sour dough pizza gave me the idea to do calzones one night this week. I've never done it before but what they hey right?

i was going to have a lovely beef soup ( i really love it) but I am having a vegetarian girl stay for dinner.. so i will do some sort of spinach/ricotta/mozarella loaf and a bean dish maybe.. i need some ideas,
0 -
If she eats cheese you might consider fettichini alfredo with mushrooms, buttered green beans with toasted almonds or lemon-garlic broccoli and garlic bread.

Apple- when I do vegetarian I usually do Italian food too. Stuffed shells with spinach and mushrooms or a vegi lasagna.

lemon garlic broccoli (with a little butter?) that sounds awesome.. Sauteed? steamed? How do you fix it chabba? (I have a huge bunch of broccoli in the crisper).
She is coming to take photos of my children for a portrait.. I did a huge favor for her and we repay as it will.. Also, I want to have time for a long piano lesson for her so I don't want to spend more than a bit of time cooking.

I always steam broccoli. Melt the butter and season to taste with lemon juice and minced garlic.

trying a new recipe from a friend tonight- pulled BBQ chicken. I'll let you know how it turns out, she said it is one of her favorite things ever.....no actual BBQ sauce, just seasonings...

I'm makng an old southern vegetable dish for dinner tonight...okra and tomatoes, served over brown rice. Not everyone likes okra, but this dish is surprisingly good, and good for you! If you want, you can throw a little chicken or shrimp in for a gumbo. You cook up some nitrate free bacon, add chopped onions and cook until soft. Add sliced fresh okra (can substitute frozen) and saute for a few minutes. Add a can of petite diced tomatoes, and simmer for about half an hour until okra is fully cooked. Shrimp or cooked chicken can be added last few minutes of cooking.

Kaara- I've never had okra- what does it taste like, sweet/crunchy/bitter etc?

Made kale chips for the first time today. Someone on my March chemo thread gave a recipe. I didn't even know what kale looked like before. It was pretty good. I won't say they are exactly chip like, but pretty good. Also having tortellini and a Caesar salad.
