Soooo...Whats Cooking Today?

I've been so looking forward to Home Made Gumbo. So, today is the day. I didn't have Shrimp, but I'm using Chicken instead w/Cajun Seasonings. Also, Brown Rice. (New Diet) I'm slow cooking it to eat it a little later. It sure smells good.

Main Man likes crackers with Gumbo, I like JalapeÃ±o Hush Puppies with mine. I'd rather have JalapeÃ±o Poppers, really. But, don't have any.

What's on your Menu today?

Chili. It's cloudy and chilly here today. Good chili weather. I made it last month, and froze 1/2 of it, for a day like today.

Have no idea. I really want homemade sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, egg foo yung and egg rolls. But no way I'm preparing/cooking all that for just me.
Maybe teriyaki chicken and some steamed rice.

Swamped here today, still trying to straighten out the messes that Irene created with my boss! I think he is finally underway! And I had contractors here installing a new sliding door in the family room, a new window in my bathroom and then I remembered that I was called to Jury Duty this week!!! I have a new network printer being installed tomorrow, this should be great. No matter where the guys are as long as they are logged onto the network they can print to it! We are paying a fortune for this thing but what a great time saver! And we can set it up to save that print job and instead fax it to their office!! WooooHoooo!!!!

I was outside today, too. The weather is just wonderful. Came in the house to cool down and think all of the biting bugs followed me in. No cooking today. One granddaughter made mac and cheese last night (she is experimenting with recipes for a potluck at work), so we will have those leftovers tonight. May cook some chicken to go with it, as well as some California mixed vegetables. Too eaten up with bug bites right now to even think straight.

Cooper, I like this one. I put it in the bread machine, liquid first, then dry ingredients on top, and set the dough cycle. When it's done I form dinner rolls or loaves or whatever I like. This batch I made with White Whole Wheat flour and regular AP, both from King Arthur Flour. Sometimes I use my own homeground wheat flour and King Arthur AP, and it works fine too. Honey whole wheat bread 3 cups all purpose flour 3 cups whole wheat flour (I use KA White WW) 2 pkg. active dry yeast 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup milk 1 cup water (or 2/3 cup water and 1/3 cup orange juice) 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup butter (I use olive oil) 1 egg Preparation: In large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, yeast, and salt and mix well. In saucepan, heat milk, orange juice and/or water, honey, and butter until warm. Add to flour mixture with egg and stir. Beat this batter for 3 minutes. Then, gradually stir in rest of whole wheat flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour for a firm dough. Knead dough, adding more flour if necessary, for 5-8 minutes until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour, until doubled. (I proof in the microwave) Punch down dough and divide in half. Form two loaves (or dinner rolls of your desired size, and place into greased 9x5" bread pans or cake pans for rolls. Cover and let rise in warm place until the dough doubles. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, until bread is golden brown. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks. Have fun baking! Annie

I finally started my Thanksgiving cooking that I meant to start 2 weeks ago! This year I'm experimenting with freezing and seeing how things turn out. My family isn't picky so I know they won't mind. So far I made a giant batch of caramelized onion cognac gravy, and I just finished my stuffing. It's a mix of cornbread, ciabatta and french bread, and normally I make an unsweetened corn bread but this year I tried a sweetened one and I don't like it as much. I don't think anyone will mind though. They may even like it as it adds a slightly sweet note to all the savory vegetables and herbs. It's cooling now and will be packed into freezer bags. I also prepped and froze all my onions, celery and herbs all chopped and ready to go. I removed all my corn on the cob (16 ears!) and froze it for my corn casserole and picked through 3 lbs of spinach (3 pounds of spinach is a LOT!) and froze for my baked spinach dish. I think this is going to save so much time and stress for me so I can actually relax on Thanksgiving since I make enough for an army and can't seem to stop. :) I have a second stuffing that I'm trying this year that was posted a few weeks back in the vegetarian stuffing thread so I'll make that later this week. Then I think I'll be done until the week of.

What's cooking? Lima beans in the crockpot. But what am I having for dinner? It's sister's night with sister Annie at the Home, so I'll be having a sandwich, blueberry applesauce and Vernor's gingerale.

I don't cook much unless I have some grands around, and today after school the 2 oldest boys will be here, so I'm going to make some homemade spaghetti sauce for them to take home with them. They live w/ their dad, so their idea of cooking leaves a little to be desired. I have a package of those mealballs you get at Sam's, so that makes it easy. DH and I went out for lunch, so we probably won't eat much.

Dh just went to the meat market for ground chuck for hamburgers.Will probably just grill them in my brand new "Green Pan" from HSN.They came in while we were on our jaunt to OK and I haven't had a chance to use them yet.The set came with a grilling skillet and I'm anxious to see if it is all they say it is.LOL Don't know yet what we will have for supper.Probably tacos.

Boneless pork chops, I'll marinate them in some teriyaki sauce for a while before baking them. Creamed potatoes and green beans with butter and lemon pepper seasoning on them. Don't do desert unless there is company. Dottie

Just took an 8" cherry pie out of the oven, so to make it fit into our diet plan, dinner will just be a nice salad. I have lots of fresh salad makings in the fridge. Will mix up some cheddar/garlic ranch dressing for it. (once in awhile, you gotta break the rules of a Diabetic's diet.)

Was Italian day at Golden Coral, so that's what I had.

Stopped by best bakery and bought my neighbor a loaf of freshly baked cheese bread. Just a "thank you" for his helping me with pc/monitor.

So I see someone wants a corned beef sandwich? Sorry, I haven't made the corned beef yet, but when
I do you are very welcome to come here and have a sammie Bestlawn!!!! In a matter of fact there was no
dinner cooking at this house tonight, I wanted to make Steak-Umms and when I went to get them they were
not there. So, DH decided to go out to dinner and that is what we did tonight! I am so tired of fixing and
eating the same old stuff, something interesting is what I want with same hot spices and wonderful flavoring.

Well, I've had four Bowls of Gumbo since it was cooked at 1:00 pm. So, yummy!

I still have some for tomorrow for lunch.
