I'm going to put some beef on to cook with lots of different vegetables. That's the extent of my cooking. I want some of yours, Sue. I could live on your leftovers.

I have a pork tenderloin thawing, to sear and roast this evening. They were on sale last week at our local grocery, and the ones I made then were so good that I later bought some for the freezer. I'd made three tenderloins (six pieces) but most were taken elsewhere--to my mother, who is still recovering from knee replacement surgery, and to my FIL, who had two cardiac stents implanted. One of my neighbors repaired my drill, and returned it the day the tenderloins were coming out of the oven, so he and his wife were lucky recipients, too.

Last week I made sour cream and mushroom sauce to serve with the pork, but today I'll make pan dripping gravy, and make some basmati and wild rice.

While the oven is on, I'll mix up a couple of batches of Pioneer Woman's Strawberry Oat bars. I use whole wheat flour and add some chia seeds--they're perfect for breakfast. If I don't have any strawberry preserves on hand, I mix peanut butter and honey for the filling--good either way!

The only things growing in my garden now are catnip, parsley, chives, and onions.... I'm thinking I'll make some experimental herbed bread sticks (using Einkorn -- sans catnip :) and smother them in a variety of seeds and salt. I have a ton of apples and I also have some beets I want to roast, but not sure what I want to make otherwise.

We are going to lunch with family then headed to the most awesome smoked meat store. I will be loading the ice chest with lots of wonderful smoked meats and sausage. Tomorrow we head back home to the Houston area. I am looking forward to eating some of the goodness I will buy. I have not had to cook a thing since I have been on vacation woo-hoo that was nice.

white chili, fried green tomatoes and banana pudding for son and grandson. Only a few weekends left before grandson leaves for the Navy, the two guys are hunting this weekend. Plus son is turning 50 end of the week, and I'm fixing what he enjoys.

His wife wants to surprise him, with my goodies, and it thrilled me she asked me to. One better way for us to get to know eachother a bit more. We'll do this together at their home and have it all ready when the "boys" come in.

Tonight will be the third new Pinterest recipe I have tried this week. It is Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos, in the crock pot. Need to get the crock pot started soon. I'n also baking a cake with a spider web frosting.

Just had a big breakout at the diner this morning. Told DH I'm not cooking and will probably make him something light.

Tomorrow night we are meeting my oldest in the city for dinner. So, no cooking for me this weekend.

Happy Halloween!

Glenda, I am so happy that you have a daughter-in-law that you truly deserve.

I'm making navy bean soup with leftover Thanksgiving ham. Perfect for our cool, drizzly day. I'm going to go online to find a recipe, but I'm pretty sure it won't be complicated. Then I'll ask DH to go to a bakery to get some of their yummy crusty dinner rolls to go with the soup.

stacey, I made a Mr Food navy bean soup with ham, the other day and it was delicious. Served it to my game gals that came Thursday. I improvised and made it into a rosemary navy bean and ham soup with couple additions, but I love Mr Food recipes.

We're having some friends in for dinner tonight. Made rouladen, red cabbage, spinach casserole and spaetzle for dinner. Just have to reheat. I have a beet salad prepared but have to assemble the last minute. I have my first loaf of crusty bread in the oven right now, second one waiting. Baked two apple strudels this morning, just finished "frosting" my Braunschweiger spread with cream cheese, have to run to the store now and buy some appetizer pumpernickel bread for my mushroom canapé's and have some marinated artichokes wrapped in ham for the other appetizer. A little cleaning to do (especially the kitchen!)

Wow Georgysmom I'm coming to your house for dinner! Just took some pumpkin mini muffins out of the oven. Taking DH out to dinner tonight for his birthday. Shrimp and fennel with brown rice is on the menu for Sunday dinner.

Thank you so much for the recipe, Glenda. It sounds delicious! I used dried navy beans this time, but your recipe would be so much quicker. I'm going to add some rosemary to give it a different (to us) flavor.

We had a potluck at work today so yesterday I made a huge pot of beef stew. About 3/4 got eaten, left the rest for nightshift. They're having a long night tonight because of daylights savings time.

Our CFEL club had their Christmas Tea today. I made the Kraft macaroni and cheese salad for it. I also made a cheesecake and brownies for it. Tomorrow I have to work so I won't be doing much after that.

I made a three cheese chicken Alfredo bake that I also added mushrooms and broccoli to. I should have cut the recipe in half , guess I'll be taking some to work with me :) , I will make this one again ,also made a coconut orange cake. Both recipes I found on Pinterest, the cake I have made before and everyone loves it.

Made a carrot bake, yes, bake, as it is called. It's not served as a cake, but as a side with your meal. Made with 3 jars of carrot baby food. So moist and delicious! It's a Mr Food recipe. I served it the other Christmas with steak oscar and was just right.

I made a pork in the slow cooker. When it was cooked I made a balsamic glaze and stuck it under the broiler for a few minutes. Had potatoes and sauteed cabbage, carrots and onions with it.

Belgian waffles for breakfast. For lunch I made tuna melts. For dinner I diced up part of a pork roast and made a pot of spicy green chile. I'll smother nachos with it for a casual dinner.
