What's for Dinner?

I'm sure she does Steve. Crockpot is the brand name of the first slow cooker and most people call them crockpots now no matter what brand.

We haven't used ours in years since we discovered an electric pressure cooker. As simple to use as a crockpot but many times faster. The one we have has a slow cooking mode but we've never used it.
 
Seve, yes as Rkunsaw answered, crockpot and slow cooker are synonymous.

Making sour creme chicken enchiladas tonight, the chicken is stewing in the crockpot in Mexican seasoning, Ro-tel tomatoes.. When the chicken's done I'll remove it and add rice, diced onions and poblano peppers to simmer in the juice.
 

Reruns for dinner. And the we dive into some of the goodies we got delivered. One box from daughter in Oklahoma and a big box containing 4 boxes from a daughter in California. Petit fours, candy, nuts, candy coated nuts, sausage,cheese, a bunch of goodies.

Surf 'n Turf. Small piece of steak, some calamari rings, a grilled tomato, a pineapple ring, and some strips of olive and sesame oil dunked bread fried to crouton like perfection. Somehow that doesn't sound as flash as kippered salmon cream reduction does it? siiiiigh.
 
I have decided to stop eating !!!!!!!!

That way I don't have to cook any more..... No more decisions to make in the kitchen..

In other words "The kitchen is closed due to illness.. The cook is sick of cooking" ...........

What in the world is the matter with you, Steve. I LOVE COOKING AND LOVE THE CLEANUP EVEN MORE! Oops, this belonged in the extremely outrageous lies section. LOL

No, you can't stop cooking, Steve. Princess would miss your yummy meals, and you gotta eat, too!!!
 
Absolutely NO egg nog for us this year..
The problem is Princess can't have any because of the sugar content..
If I was to buy some for me alone, it isn't fair to her..
The other problem in the past is, I would buy about 4 or 5 liters at one time and polish them off in 2 days.. Also No good as it is almost impossible to not have any......

I promise you life willl go on without that "necter" which is extremely fattening... Aww Shucks !!!!!!!!
 
I took out of the freezer a package of B/S chickens thighs that I will do something with for supper...
Most likely pan fry them in a honey garlic sauce (not much!!) ....
Steamed mini spuds..
Steamed broccoli with onions together..


Lunch was an open faced sandwich with salmon salad and a glass of soy milk for her..
Breakfast was scrambled eggs on toast for her and a bowl of shredded wheat for me..

Steve, I found this...don't know if it's good as its claimed to be, and there is Splenda in it (can Princess have that)?? But it would be a substitute for the 'real' stuff if you both liked it.

Otherwise, I'm sure there must be other such recipes if that won't do it???
 
I had to Google eggnog! Not a tradition here, but I do remember Mum feeding me something once that seemed to be suspiciously like the recipe I found. It was disgusting. But then it didn't have any alcohol in it so that could account for it.
 
Anne..
Thanks for the egg nog with splenda.. We don't have any sugar in the house and I use only splenda and have been using it for the past 7 years, if not more..
I even use splenda brown sugar..

I will try it but I don't have any skim milk, only 18% cream.. I think if I use half cream and half water it should be OK.....
 
We had Eggplant Parmesan tonight. The best store bought eggnog we really like is Southern Comfort brand, in the black container. No alcohol, and tastes really good, they sell it at Kroger supermarkets. Steve, Stevia is more natural and healthier than Splenda, FYI. :)
 
I have NO idea where to buy stevia ?? What is it ???
Is it like splenda in a powder form??
Is it good for diabetics ??
Is it calorie free ??
Can it be used for baking ??

I have heard of it before but never investigated it because I am using splenda.....
 
GREAT !!!!

Please tell me where I can buy it around here ???

Remember there isn't a food shop in our village and our weekly grocery shopping store doesn't carry that product..
They do carry Splenda which I buy.. A 275g bag will last me about 6 weeks if not more..
A bag of Splenda is about $3.00.....
I also use the brown sugar splenda.....
