I have a new recipe in the oven. Shrimp and rice casserole. I think it will be excellent. Here's a link to where I got it

Here is a link that might be useful: Shrimp and rice casserole

We never eat shrimp, yet there are so many good recipes using them. Rice and pasta dishes are very popular. I should buy a bag of frozen shrimp, then I'll always have some and then make it.

Husband is bringing home Pizza. I moved furniture yesterday to do a deep vacuum underneath , and my back is sure feeling it today.

Too lazy to do anything so just put a tv 'dinner' in the microwave. Tomorrow I'll be eating enough food for at least 3 people. lol

So gorgeous here in Ohio today, and will be again tomorrow. I'm trying to find a way to store it up for the week ahead.

Inspired by kathsgrdn's naked burritos last night, I did something similar tonight. I subbed in refried beans for the black beans. DH texted to say that he's having French onion soup, which sounds so good!

I keep meaning to try French onion soup with cheese on top. I'd probably make Knorr's and grate cheese on top. Tonight is a cheese sandwich and half an avocado. A banana too.

We went out for pizza tonight.

Lots of different choices for dinner tonite. The mention of French onion soup has me wanting one!

I think I'm ready to make a batch of angelaid's Crock Pot French onion soup. So good last year! But will DH trying to stay away from gluten I may try gluten free bread.

I braised a pot roast in a great sauce, with some onions and root veggies. Served up with polenta for something different (for us). It will be on the table tonight, too, when it will taste even better!

Love that crock pot French onion soup. That needs to go on the dinner menu sometime soon.

I've got onions in the crock pot all day, I'm going to make French onion soup using some of them.

Angelaid or anyone-
Will you please send me the recipe for the crock pot Fr. onion soup that you mentioned lately. Thank you

Here it is Grams.

This only makes about 2 big bowls, I double the recipe (for just 2 of us)......Angelaid
Crockpot French Onion Soup

2 cans of beef broth
3 T butter
2 yellow onions
1/2 T granulated sugar
1/4 cup cooking sherry
1/2 t kosher salt (you might need more if your butter isn't salted)
slices of brown rice bread (or french bread)
gruyere cheese (swiss could work too)

Heat your crockpot to high and plop your butter in to start melting
slice the yellow onions into rings
break up the onion slices with your fingers, and rub them around in the melted butter
add the beef broth, sugar, salt, and sherry
cook on high for 6-8 hours or low for 10-12. It takes a while for the onions to get translucent and pliable

Before serving:
--preheat oven to the broiling option
--toast 4 slices of the bread that you are going to use. That Trader Joe's brown rice bread needed to be toasted twice in my toaster to get to the desired crunchiness.
--cut gruyere cheese into slices
--put the cheese onto the toasted bread, and carefully float the bread and cheese on the top of the soup
--remove stoneware from crockpot and place the UNCOVERED stoneware into the oven
--broil for a minute or two--the cheese should be all melty and turn a golden color

ladle into 4 bowls.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I have some soup in the crock pot now. Is the bread step necessary? Could one just put some cheese in the soup? This is my first try at it so any help is appreciated. THank you!

Grams, we just had a bowl of the soup. I caramelized the onions all day in the slow cooker, and just heated them with some broth tonite.

We skipped the bread, just put cheese on top of the soup and heated it. It melted and got gooey, without the bread. Croutons can also be used, if you have or want some.
