Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
hamburger soup - chili con carne - diy hamburger helper - meatloaf - hamburger patties served plain without a bun - hamburger stroganoff - pasta sauce - mac & cheese with gr. beef - sloppy joes - loose meat with gravy - burgers (of course), tacos & burritos, cabbage roll casserole, egg roll in a bowl.....
Goulash is a great hamburger recipe that freezes well and feeds a lot of people with 1# of burger.
Love cottage pie and shepherds pie.
Southern skillet with burger, potatoes, onions, cheese and other things to taste is a great hamburger meal.
Of course, the bunless hamburger is always an easy meal.
I always add lots of veggies to whatever I am fixing and it creates a great, easy meal that is full of nutrition.
Wow! Lots of broken glass in your house. 🤪
I have never made chili or stroganoff. I should try making those. I will look up some recipes.
Except for a few delaying snafus.
Like dropping and breaking the entire dish of ground sirloin, 1 lb.
Then, cooking up the other pound, totalling $16.84 in meat. (I know, it is recommended to use the cheaper ground beef for flavor).
You can cook chili, pour it over a hamburger, or use the ground up meat in the chili.
It will be awhile, a long while before I make tacos again. Easier to buy out, and less expensive. Maybe just stop cooking at all until this time passes.
A disagreement ensued after I broke the glass bowl, all over the floor. You cannot retrieve any of the meat because of the broken glass.
I mentioned that was 2 bowls broken in the last two days. Dh argued that he did not break the last bowl. (I was not even in the room when he broke it).
And, it was my fault. 🤣🤪🤣🥇
There are beef stroganoff recipes using ground beef. I love beef stroganoff.
Today's ground beef prices can be beat by using some steaks/per the pound.
Some people are extremely creative with ground beef. I seem to make the same dishes over and over with ground beef. I tend to be more creative with chicken.
I do like tacos and sloppy Joe’s. They only use one pound of ground beef. If I take the time to do meatballs or lasagna I want to make enough to freeze half.
One other thing that I occasionally make with ground beef is cottage pie or most people say shepherd’s pie. Technically, shepherd’s pie is lamb and cottage pie is beef.
What do y’all make with ground beef?
Way - I am with you. My oldest son doesn't particularly care for chocolate. The rest of us ate the Ferraro Rochers from his Christmas stocking!😁
Happy to hear you get safe chocolate . I don’t know what I would do without chocolate . I have two friends who don’t like chocolate , which I can’t even imagine .
Send/Harridan, (Ha!) I share your love of limes and cilantro and tacos. My cilantro is just starting to sprout. I often make a corn, black beans and bell pepper salad in the summer. Cilantro lime dressing. Such a polarizing herb.
I live about 2 hours from Hershey headquarters .
I like Droste chocolate from Holland . My husband would bring it home from Amsterdam when he used to travel there for work . We were in Aruba last month for our Anniversary and we found some . Good stuff . I agree , Hershey isn’t the best . We have a couple of local family chocolate/sweets stores right by my house that make their candy on premises.
Very good candy from both families .
We even have cilantro and pico de gallo, two different hot taco sauces, and lime.
Dinner will be late.
Dh is sleeping while sitting at the table.
Surprising that he has low back pain after I asked him to slow down exercising until the pain is better, but I am mean; after he went twice to the chiropractor, I drove him, but I am mean; he was asked to return again due to stiffness in low back, but I am a meany! With OCD he can't stop himself, but I am mean.
And hungry too!
I still remember Jude/Phoenix calling me a harridan. 🤣🤣🤪
🍫🙂
I feel the same. I like having a few dishes in the freezer for when I don’t feel like cooking or don’t have the time to cook.
Plus, I hate wasting food. I try to budget carefully. We spend too much money at the grocery store these days.
All of those dishes sound delicious! I love to make soup. For some reason I always find it to be relaxing. It’s kind of therapeutic to make a pot of soup!
My mom, her sister and my grandma were excellent cooks and their passion for cooking rubbed off on me. It’s a creative outlet.
The only thing that I find challenging is sometimes it is too much food. We either have to share or freeze it.
I cooked some Hot Italian sausages in the oven the other day when the temperatures were down, and started on turkey soup. Got the meat off and am now simmering the bones for bone broth. It's all too much for my electric pressure cooker so I am using my biggest soup pot. With such big bones it will take a while. Yesterday I did oven roasted salt and pepper ribs and today is cool too so I will roast some eggplants. I love them roasted with garlic and lemon and eat them hot or cold as I do with the ribs too. Not a picky eater at all except I have to avoid the things I am allergic to.
Yep! I can’t eat a whole chicken stuffed breast so I cut them in half and eat the rest the next day.
Leftovers at your house sound like a gourmet meal.
These leftovers?
"Chicken breast stuffed with a mixture of spinach, artichoke, provolone, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, diced onions, garlic and seasonings. Cucumber and tomato salad."
Pls. send some through the cloud.
White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle
Are they still in business?
(joke).
Sounds yummy!
But I think I overdid it, I feel like a little pig🐖🐽🐷
Don’t forget to add chocolate syrup on top of your ice cream.
Just finished watching Psycho. Am about to watch The Birds in a bit after I make a salad for our dinner
i snacked on hummus and pita bread earlier so I am not very hungry.
add some strawberry or pineapple topping…that’s fruit .
