What’s Cooking: Surplus Edition

Feb 11th, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 2

My brain is slowly forgetting what I made. Thinking…thinking…I’m thinking… Okay, yes, I made chili mac. I had all the ingredients for cafeteria chili, plus my jar of random pasta was getting full. I combined both. So, it was really Chili With Various Leftover Shapes of Dried Pasta. Whatever. It used up food. Then I [...]

What have I cooked? Um…homemade pizza. I did make the Boeuf Bourguignon and the Thai butternut squash soup. I have also decided that I need to base all my meals on things that I have to clear out some groceries. I have a lot of pasta and tomato sauce. I also used one meal to [...]

Fajitas: steak, green and orange bell peppers, onions with Pensey’s fajita seasoning. Topping included homemade salsa, Vermont aged white cheddar and sour cream because I don’t have a yo-cheese made at the moment. It was typical household fajita fair. I really like cooking veges and meat and eating them wrapped in a tortilla. Dessert was [...]

Jay brought home a virus last week. I will blame daycare. He passed it to me. I passed it to Ada. So far Mac is the only one to not get sick. I got over the virus and ended up with another migraine yesterday that sent me to bed by 6:30pm. I even left the [...]

Jay update with a Weekly Menu finish

Apr 3rd, 2009 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 0

The medicine we got for Jay has helped him keep down his Pedialyte. It also has the benefit of making him drowsy. He’s sleeping in his bed! The drawback is that the stuff is disgusting. Mac smelled it and said, “I don’t think they flavored this for kids. Ew, it’s green.” Jay gagged it down. [...]
