The house already smells delicious.
.

Chancie, that sounds great!

Similar deal here. Once in a while my mom and I will cook a whole chicken or turkey breast and I always save "what's left" to make stock. I was working from home on Friday so I set up the stockpot and made a nice big batch of stock. Then made soup with mushrooms, kale, broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, and a little bit of chicken. I've had a head cold all weekend so this has pretty much been breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

It is so convenient to have chicken soup in the freezer.

Same here. I try not to waste anything. Yesterday I baked half a ham and put water in the drippings pan to keep it moist. Afterwards I froze three cups of drippings to make beans and peas with later, and I used the rest to make butterbeans for last night's dinner.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well, easygoingfemme. That's a really healthy sounding soup you made; I sure hope you get better soon.

easygoingfemme · 04-13-2025, 01:53 PM

Thank you, I'll pull through

Speaking of using things to the fullest, when I had my big dog (100 lb pit bull) I used to finish making the stock and then I would strain out the stock and puree everything that was in the pot and add that to his food. He always has mega zoomies on the days he had the final gifts of the stock pot.

Tonight will probably be a pizza from Trader Joes. If yÂ’all have never had the French ham and GruyÃ¨re cheeseÂ…..you havenÂ’t lived. IÂ’m not even a fan of pork and I buy them two at a time!

Chancie · 04-14-2025, 08:28 AM

Even though we went to a seder last night, we’re going to a pay-what-you-can soup dinner, which is sponsored by a local agency that serves THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD for lunch on Saturdays, including folks who are food insecure. We’ll make a donation, and I’m sure there’s a sponsor.

** TONIGHT'S MENU **
Chicken Matzo Ball Soup
Persian Noodle & Bean Soup
Butternut Bisque
Borscht

I've been craving BBQ ribs. So I bought a slab of baby back ribs. But the same day I couldn't wait, so I got an early bird special at Cody's BBQ. So good!

I came home and have been marinating the ribs I bought for like two days. Well, they made it into the crockpot today. So my ribs tonight, along with fresh sweet corn on the cob and asparagus.

I cheated, I had an ear of corn last night. Again, so good!

GeorgiaMa'am · 04-19-2025, 03:05 PM

- a roasted tomato with parmigiana reggiano on top
- roasted Brussels sprouts

Kätzchen · 04-20-2025, 05:06 PM

I had baby Bella mushroom’s pan seared in evoo: I seared them to perfection and arranged them on a slice of Lavish bread, which had garlic hummus and half a sliced avocado. I seasoned it with some “foxtrot delta tango” sauce (creamy mascarpone cheese with grilled sweet onion). Very delicious.

Water to drink.

GeorgiaMa'am · 04-22-2025, 10:58 AM

- a salmon burger
- corn soufflé

Bèsame* · 04-22-2025, 05:26 PM

Shrimp, avocado, artichoke, tomato, cucumber and asparagus on top of spring greens. My new favorite salad dressing from Aldi's, Mediterranean.

Hummus chips
Spring water and some coconut water

GeorgiaMa'am · 04-22-2025, 10:33 PM

a smoked sausage with cheese

Bèsame* · 04-23-2025, 04:38 PM

It's my night to have the salmon burger, ( from TJ's) smothered in cocktail sauce.
Some wild rice
Salad made of cucumber, red onion, dill, mixed with Greek yogurt and tahini. It was too thick, so I drizzled some juice from the hot and sweet jalapeno jar
Cantaloupe
Water

Half a Butterfinger is in the refrig😲

Chancie · 04-24-2025, 01:25 PM

I’m finally getting over a cold which has exhausted me for a week. But tonight we feast! I soaked TVP in turkey broth and vinegar and poured in a jar of spaghetti sauce. Ill make pasta later.

Between Passover, limited dairy, and not much takeout in our small town, it’s been slim pickings.

easygoingfemme · 04-24-2025, 02:46 PM

I set up my grill station after work today. I'm grilling some veggie burgers while watching the high school crew team work their way down the river. I'll be having a veggie burger with guacamole, tomato, and lettuce on a gluten free bun. I will sit outside and listen to the birds chirp and hope to pick up a book to read out there too. I can not complain about this at all.

GeorgiaMa'am · 04-24-2025, 06:02 PM

Chinese delivery:
- lemon chicken
- pot stickers
- house lo mein

Chancie · 04-26-2025, 04:08 PM

Pete had a TVP sloppy joe on a roll, and I had chicken on a roll, but I’m feeling better, thank goodness, so I’m thinking about cooking again.

I’m making peanut noodles tomorrow for a potluck, and I have a plan to make chickpea burgers.

GeorgiaMa'am · 04-26-2025, 05:01 PM

- baked sage-ey pork chops
- mashed potatoes
- roasted Brussels sprouts

Chancie · 04-28-2025, 03:20 PM

We had delicious peanut noodles and baked tofu last night. Pete had the leftovers for lunch.

Tonight we’re having tuna salad with elbow macaroni.
