I'll nibble on a couple of items, but not have an actual meal. Today was our Christmas party at the Home with my special needs sister. It's covered dish and we're all pretty good cooks. For once I was able to restrain myself to once through the line and no desserts. Can't believe I accomplished that feat. Annie got a lot of nice gifts and was as happy as can be, but very tired by the time we all left. And she was very full........she loves when we bring in the foods like Mom used to make when they lived at home.

Took DS and my GS to Village Tavern.

DS and GS had shrimp and grits, fruit and an apple cinnamon muffin.

I had an expensive fried egg BLT, and wasn't good. $9.95 and I half ate it. Told the waiter, he offered another, but was too late.

$40 with tip

Yummm! All the recipes sound good this week! For what it's worth..my vote for another course would be for the breadstuffs. Seeing as how this menu is leaning towards the cooler climate, I will post one of our favorite salads. Fall Salad with Peppered Pears and Goat Cheese with a Spring Vanilla Vinaigrette - serves 4 4 pears, halved lengthwise, cored and sliced (ripe but firm) 2 tbsp unsalted butter 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp cracked black pepper 6-8 oz mixed salad greens 4 oz peppered chevre sea salt Spring Vanilla Vinaigrette (also good on strawberry, spinach salad) 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 2-3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar (start with two, add extra if needed to taste). 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 tsp dried tarragon leaves 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper 1/2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt Note: I also added 2 tsp dijon tarragon seadoning mix, but if you don't have it, omit or try 1 tsp dijon mustard. Mix well and chill before serving over salad. Salad: Melt butter in a skillet large enough to hold the pears in a single layer. Add the pears and brown sugar. Allow the brown sugar to melt, cover each side of the pear. When pears are tender and a deep caramel colour: add the pepper,stir to coat, season with sea salt. Lift pears and caramel from skillet and keep warm.(I have made this ahead of time and just reheated til warmed through in the microwave. If mixture gets to thick reheat with a bit of water ). Put greens on individual plates, garnish with the pears. Drizzle the dressing over the top and top with pieces of the crumbled peppered goat cheese. Serve immediately. Shelley

Patti43-I'm not Maryanne but I'll try to give you an idea what it is.There are many variations but this is my recipe.Some people make it with pork or chicken but we prefer beef.I usually use sirloin or sometimes boneless round roast or london broil if it's on sale.Most any kind of lean,boneless roast can also be used.It is basically just meat stew.The seasonings and spices are what make it "Mexican".Some people add other veggies but we prefer it without. Carne Guisada 4 lb. lean beef cut into 2 in. cubes 2 med. onions,roughly chopped 2 green bell peppers,seeded and cut into chunks 2 med. size Jalepeno peppers,seeded and chopped.You can adjust the amount according to how much heat you want. 3-4 cloves of garlic,minced 2 tsp. cumin powder 2-12 oz. cans Rotel 1-14 oz. can diced tomatoes with juice 4 Tbs. Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce Flour for coating meat Peanut or canola oil In a large,heavy pot over med. high heat pour in enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.Saute the onions until just tender then add garlic,cumin and the chunks of meat that have been seasoned with salt and pepper and dredged in the flour.I put the flour in a plastic zip lock and shake the meat in it then shake off the excess flour.When the meat is browned add the Rotel,tomatoes and peppers.Pour in enough water to cover the meat.Scrape all the bits from the bottom of the pot.Cover with a tight lid,reduce heat to simmer and cook until meat is tender,about 3 hours.When the meat is tender add browning sauce and simmer uncovered,stirring occasionally,until sauce is reduced and thickened. Serve with rice,refried beans and flour tortillas. I haven't made this in a while and now I want some!

a very humble dinner tonight, cornbread is in the oven now. Daughter brought over homemade vegetable soup. Hubby is having soup and cornbread. I am having cornbread and milk. Grew up eating this, and still love it. Only thing different will be that I didn't milk the cow this morning for the milk. When I was small would take an onion out of the root cellar, sprinkle the bread and milk with black pepper and that was supper. In my older years, stopped the onion, but put lots of black pepper.

Finished up the last of my candy making and frosted cut out cookies just now. I am tired, and darn missed my weekly Sunday nap!

I think we shall begin what DH calls the starvation diet. LOL
That is the week before Christmas food! If you knew my DH and how he can complain about small meals you'd laugh.

SOS tonight. Ask me if I give a darn!

Nodakgal, did you make caramels? I didn't. I tried to weigh the time they took to make versus their goodness, and the time frame won out. I sure love those things!

Glenda, you should've gone with the guys and had the shrimp and grits. That was one expensive 1/2 an egg sandwich.

Shirley, you and your others sisters are so good to your sister. I know it was a special day for her--and you, too. Dinner sounds so good. I admire your self-control. Nothing like good food made by good cooks.

Hallsgarden and susanjf, we should all be following your example and eat light most of this week. I love grilled cheese with tomato soup, but the fruit salad, beets and turkey iw REALLY a good light meal.

Donnakt, I can just feel your excitement about the kiddos coming. Sounds like a beautiful Hallmark ad. Enjoy every minute!

Hot corn bread and good hot bean soup from the freezer. Perfect for a cold day when my football team lost and my favorite bald skaters are keeping the ice hot. Scott Hamilton I am sure of, but was that really Brian Boitano?
Anyway, supper will be yummy.

I breaded and baked a chicken breast. We had leftover mashed potatoes.
I made an awesome Wild Rice Salad to go with it.

We had home made pot pies with leftover chicken. They were very good.

Had a long day. Made biscotti, truffles and fudge to send to the east coast today. Will make one more pan of fudge and use up the rest of the truffle filling. That will be all my holiday stuff this year.

Christmas can just pass on by this year as far as I am concerned.

I don't like wrapping them either, Nodakgal. I never get the waxed paper cut to the right size. Plus my recipe makes so many it takes forever.

Well jas, now that you have me hooked on wild rice, I'll have to try this recipe, too.

I bought dried Great Northern beans at the store last week for bean soup and cornbread. We like it so much we even have it in the summer. I bet it was yummy, Rosebudms!!

Wow cwnev, I don't know where you found time to make chicken pot pie with all that baking/cooking. I'm in awe!! I try to keep stuff in the freezer for those kind of busy days so I don't have to worry about dinner.

Patti,
The salad tastes wonderful warm, or at room temperature.
I just had it sit while the chicken finished cooking. My breasts were so large.....Chicken Breasts that is!!! That it took much longer to cook.

I wasn't going to pay $3.95/lb for red pepper!!!, so I left it out, and didn't have parsley, either. It's very flexible!
