KrissiK Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I know this won't help you now, but I threw a pork shoulder in the crock pot this morning with 2 packages of Lipton Onion Soup mix and a little water. I'm going to shred it and serve on rolls with bbq sauce. Delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Chicken (again) otherwise... whatever I give up and throw on the stove. If they're lucky, I might even add salt, but really, I'd rather just fling the stuff straight onto the burners and scrape it onto plates once the fire alarms say dinner's done. :( phlbttttt and yes, I AM grumpier today than usual.

BikeBookBread Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks for the fried rice suggestion last night. Went over well! I think tonight we're having a big Caesar salad with homemade croutons and chicken. (The Six O'Clock Scramble Caesar dressing recipe is delish.)

Audrey Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 grilled steaks, fresh potatoes, fresh corn on the cob and whatever lettuce I can manage from what's left in the garden. I'm actually thinking of not grilling a steak for myself. I could sit down to a plate of fresh corn on the cob and be happy with just that.

littlebug42 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Sounds like fresh corn on the cob is a theme although I cut ours off the cob since my oldest has a loose tooth and has difficulty with the cob. We are having ours with roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, salad and milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissel Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm still getting over being so sick, so I'm just making sausages, potatoes and peppers. The sausage are Asiago and roasted red pepper chicken sausage from Costco, sauteed in a pan with the potatoes and veggies. I may sprinkle on some cheese. I don't know yet. Most importantly, I'll try not to cough all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to shred it and serve on rolls with bbq sauce. Delicious. I make this alot but I pour the barbque sauce in the crockpot with the pork to cook. Right now dh and dbil are hooked on this with Sweet Baby Rays Cipotle barbque sauce and with pickled banana pepper rings. Sometimes we have it on buns, sometimes tortillas.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Dunno. I have half a cabbage sitting on my kitchen table. It's been sitting there for over a week and I'm starting to feel bad, as though it's watching us prepare other food and getting it's feelings hurt. The bit in the middle is even popping out as though the poor veggie is trying to put it's hand up and say "pick me!" Every day I look at it and think I really have to cook cabbage, then don't. What we actually have tonight depends what time I get home, whether I go to the shop, whether I look at a cookbook and whether I indulge in any other excuses. Rest assured, though, cabbage and caraway seeds will be happening here some time soon! :D Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put each wedge on a square of foil, salt and pepper, and put a dollop of butter on each and then wrap the foil into a packet. Now you can cook it on the grill while you barbque some chicken or whatever, or you can cook it in the oven while dinner is cooking. It is totally delicious, especially when done on the grill.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i.love.lucy Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 We had leftover pot roast that I pulled out of the freezer. It was okay. I have a new recipe that I'm going to try tomorrow night where you layer diced cabbage with browned ground beef and stewed tomatoes in the crock pot. You are supposed to top it with 3 slices of bacon while it cooks for 6 hours, then remove the bacon since it's just for flavoring. I have serious doubts that my kids will eat the cabbage, but I gotta try something new. Rebecca, have you ever used polenta? I buy the tube, slice it and lay it on a cookie sheet and drizzle with a little EVOO, s&p, and even a little parmesan. Broil those babies with some chicken sausage and serve with roasted veggies, or some marinara as your veg. A different spin on spaghetti and my kids LOVED the polenta. Monday we are grilling bugers and I'm making them with hoisin, ginger, and scallions. Mmmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCoppock Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 http://savvysuzieblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/menu-plan-monday-march-16th-09.html I love the cabbage recipes on this site. They are super easy. We don't eat red meat or pork so we substitute or leave out the meat and it still turns out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
