What are you cooking or baking today?

[Lilac]

I need to try that when it gets warmer. Do you partially cook your bacon before you wrap them?

 

[Ruthanne]

I fried bacon and an egg, tore up some lettuce, sliced some tomato and toasted some wheat bread. I put everything on the toast with some olive oil Mayo. Dam it was good

 

[Ruthanne]

There's something wrong with my oven so I couldn't bake tonight.

Anyhow I cooked chicken and sweet potatoes on the stove top. I used water to boil the sweet potatoes and I first browned the chicken on both sides. I added some barbecue sauce too .It's still cooking and I'm getting hungry.

I baked a pan of Brownies for my wife's work party tonight. After that I cooked a pound of bacon for no real reason. Bacon never goes to waste here...

With gratitude to a couple of dear SF friends:

@OneEyedDiva, what a GREAT recommendation about the Sweet Baby Ray's and navy bean soup. Like the old Brylcreem commercials, a little dab will do ya'. Just a small squirt into a bowl of the soup adds the perfect amount of smoky-sweet goodness!

@RadishRose, You've mentioned Italian Wedding Soup many times here, but I don't think I'd ever eaten it - my Sicilian GM didn't make it, nor did my mom. I looked for a highly rated recipe for the soup, subbing in my Beyond Meat Italian meatballs. OMG it's so, so, so delicious. DH tasted it and fell in love with me all over again. No wonder you make it so often!

Thank you both!!!

Progresso always called it "Chickarina". But, it needs the escarole.

I've never tried it, but I noticed that Walmart carries this soup. It substitutes spinach for escarole.

Escarole is a rarity in these parts. I subbed a handful of Costco's Organic Power Greens (baby chard, baby spinach & baby kale) and (hot) tiny alphabet pasta (the only small pasta I had on hand). Put them in the serving bowls and poured hot soup over top. The soup immediately wilted the greens.

The soup was even better the second day after meatball spices permeated the broth.

Just a basic chicken & veggie soup, with egg noodles added.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Air fried yam fries , with coleslaw and tuna salad. It was really good.

 

[Lilac]

Going to make a lasagna with my homemade sweet Italian sausage today. I picked up a roasted tomato & parmesan focaccia at Trader Joe's to go with it.

 

[Lilac]

Hubby made a batch of Stilton-Cheddar Cheese soup for the freezer. I have a nice bag of spinach from Trader Joe's so I think I'll make a bacon vinaigrette to go with it along with some hard boiled eggs.

 

[Jules]

Yesterday I made snack food for dinner. Too bad I didn’t take a photo of the 7 Layer dip that I put in a crystal stemmed dish. It looked really pretty.

 

[Knight]

Stuffed bell pepper casserole. Instead of the work involved in stuffing a pepper then baking it Making it in a casserole is wayyyyyyyyy easier & maybe even better tasting.

 

[Lilac]

Tonight was zucchini carbonara with bacon & side salad.

 

[Jules]

Cream of broccoli soup - made with skim milk.

Yesterday, it was 2.5 dozen bran blueberry/walnut muffins.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Today I made yam air fries
Homemade coleslaw made with olive oil, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar
Goats milk cheese
It was healthy eating yet delicious

 

[Llynn]

browned sourdough slices topped with churned cow's milk.

 

[Lilac]

Using my ham loaf recipe & turning half of it into patties to fry up. Will do some onion rings in the oven to go with it.

What is a ham loaf?

What is a ham loaf?

Ham loaf is a meatloaf that's made out of half ground pork & half ground ham. You add bread crumbs, eggs & milk to the meat & make into a loaf or small individuals loaves. Top with a sauce of brown sugar, water, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard & honey. Then you baste the loaves with the sauce every 20 minutes until it's done, about 1 hours.

Sounds delicious, @Lilac
