I have no idea what to make for dinner. It is windy, snowing and cold and I have to plan to try to round up an errant heifer this afternoon. I might just start a batch of hamburger soup in the crock pot and then it will be ready when I want to eat. We've been pretty slack on meals lately, often eating crackers and cheese for dinner or a can of soup because we have had a late lunch.

Nothing... We ate so much for Thanksgiving dinner, I'm not cooking; although, I might end up having some saltines and ginger ale. I'm so full.

Snacking on leftovers IF we are at all hungry.

Like it's been said-full from 'Turkey Day' ! (H is snoring in his recliner right now-LOL!).

Planning to make our home Thanksgiving today. Crock pot Turkey breast, fresh baked or mashed sweet potatoes, stuffing, brocolli...

 

[Riverrose28]

We are heating up left overs. Then I'm putting left over turkey in freezer bags for a later meal. Then I will boil the carcas and make stock for soups or gravy and freeze that too. Last year I canned the stock, but discovered that it holds up just as well frozen. Hubby received a frozen turkey as a bonus from work, it is a small one only 15 pounds we put it in the freezer so this winter we will be eating lots of turkey dishes.

I'm not sure I've picked the best or a will have again crock pot turkey breast recipe. House smells yummy but not feeling enthusiast about how the "gravy" around that bird is looking. I decided to try making mashed sweet potatoes, but as you would mashed white potatoes. At steakhouses, I always get the sweet potato with butter but no cinnamon or brown sugar and salt on it. I know the glycemic index on them is tons better than white potatoes, so that's what I'm making. That said, to be honest, you probably can't fix any form of a potato of any kind where I'd turn it down. Decided on green beans and corn as sides. Hopefully I can resist making some boxed stuffing as any glycemic index consideration will be shot when I eat some crumb topped apple pie for dessert... Gosh, I probably spend as much time contemplating my next meal as I do making it! At least I've decided to eat my veggies first and drink lots of water so have enjoyed food while getting to a good weight. I'm a confirmed food addict for sure! Don't even think you can ask me what I plan to do for the day without me including what I hope to eat ?

Chicken stir fry, I think... Chicken something I'm sure

 

[chandab]

Hamburger something here tonight, we have lots of it, so it's almost always on the menu.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Roast chicken with a green salad and a Potato Salad last night. Instead of using normal potatos, I tried sweet Potato and it was really good (and better for me) !!

Tonight going to try and make a citrus beetroot salad. Not sure what will go with it just yet.

 

[Riverrose28]

I'm going to town today, so I'm going to buy some pie crust and make pot pie.

 

[Jill]

Leftovers. I ended up making baked chicken yesterday and there's still more and it still sounds good

 

[Performancemini]

Pasta and meat sauce, I guess. Poor H had a hot dog last night, but enjoyed red skin mashed potatoes and green beans with it. I had a sweet apple chicken sausage in place of a hot dog (and no bun).

Beef stew tonight. Last night I made grilled chicken breasts, baked sweet potatoes and cream corn. Today I had left over chicken breast as sandwich meat. Its been about 15C and snowing all day, I took a long walk with my dog in the snow. I wandered thro the trees and bush and because I couldn't see the ground I tried to be very careful but in spite of my caution I managed to trip over a willow buried under the snow and fall. Dog thought it was great fun and I must be playing with her lol but i think I have sprained my thumb... dang it sucks to be clumsy

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Hope your thumb makes a quick recovery Reignmaker

Last night I had oven fish , salad and a baked Potato.

Tonight will be homemade Rissoles (hamburgers) with sweet potato salad and a Green salad.

I must say I am jealous that everyones crockpots and gr8 winter recipes have made a return. I do like summer but much prefer winter dishes

 

[Jill]

Tonight, I'm planning to make meatloaf. I still have lots of freshly leftover mashed sweet potatoes and green beans. We are getting yucky weather (rain and freezing rain).

Ryan, crock pots can be good year round! People think of them more in the winter, but they're great for just about any dish and in the summer (even tho we've got air conditioning), they don't heat up the kitchen. Love being able to put "whatever" in it, and knowing dinner is in the works while we're doing everything else that needs doing. Yo can even use them for making steel cut oatmeal for breakfast!

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Great Point Jill, I never thought of it like that.

Picked up a roast chicken on the way home last night and had a salad and garlic bread with it.

Followed by some frozen yoghurt .............

 

[chandab]

Spaghetti or pasta hotdish, I have browned hamburger in the fridge, sauce in the cupboard and both angel hair and hotdish pasta (I like to use penne, but shells, rotini, etc work too) in the cupboard.

 

[Riverrose28]

Yesterday I made soup in the crockpot with turkey then added noodles at the last minute. I also made garlic butter yeast rolls first time using this roll recipe and they were very good.

Tonight I'm roasting a small beef roast, mashed patatoes and brown gravy, green beans and maybe buscuits. The weather is nasty.
