We went for hubby's semi-annual cancer check-up, and no sign of the beast! We had a quick dinner of cheeseburgers, coleslaw and fries (homemade, not take-out).

rhizo, your dinner sounds so tasty. Jasdip, good news and yummy celebration dinner. I have been cooking up a storm at least for me this week. Tonight I tried a new recipe for me- just coming out of the oven are ranch pork chops with rosemary roasted potatoes left over from the lamb roast dinner we had the other night, and homemade cranberry sauce. Now only if DH would come to the table , we can eat. Enjoy your evening.

Still working on the big pot of chicken/vegetable soup from earlier in the week. Just gets tastier. Also have cornbread. This is perfect soup weather, dreary and raining all day with more to come and maybe snow tomorrow. I don't envy those of you who are really getting dumped on with the storm.

Yay for Mr. Jasdip good report!

happy, delicious sounding dinner! Were the porkchops baked?

Sue, isn't it great how so many things get better and better as leftovers? It's worth fixing some dishes a day or so ahead of time just for that very reason!

I had a surprise birthday party for my neighbor at the Greek bakery and Cafe. It was wonderful. They have the most awesome meat pies. Flakey pastry filled with the most tasty meat, folded into a turnover. I picked up 4 of those for dinner. I barely could eat one, I made little baked potatoes to go with it. My husband keeps saying how good they are. Easy dinner!

Mr. Jasdip...thumbs up!

Rhizo...veggies done right! Yum!

Sausage lasagna with a layer of spinach. Carrot cake w/ cream cheese frosting for dessert.

GREAT news, Jas. I was wandering through the grocery store today and saw a beautiful head of Napa cabbage. I got to thinking about a cabbage soup recipe I just saw on the internet this morning and deleted. I bought the cabbage and went home and retrieved the recipe and made some cabbage soup. It didn't call for Napa but I just liked the looks of it. I threw in a can of mashed chick peas for some protein and that was dinner. It took all of 5 minutes to throw together and was very tasty and a real treat on a cold, cold night. Served it with a slice of that delicious crusty bread which I had made on Tuesday night.

I tried a new to me beef stroganoff recipe. The kids loved the egg noodles and did eat some of the beef and mushrooms, but I thought it was a bit bland. Not worth the effort. Good to try something new though.

I had homemade beef vegetable soup and a chocolate cupcake with pudding.

Left over spaghetti & meatballs, always taste better after a couple days!

rhizo, I sprinkled some dry ranch dressing on pork chops and roasted them in the oven at 450. The chops were juicy and tasty. I went easy on the dressing but will press more on each pork chop next time. I used almost one packet of dressing. I did not add the salt called for in the recipe, The dressing mix has quite enough sodium. I don't usually cook with processed products but I made an exception. We enjoyed them. recipe

Great news, Jas. and now I'm craving a good cheeseburger w onions.

i made "Copycat Panera Asian Chicken Salad" and it was yummy. I toasted the almonds but forgot to include them. I often don't bother with the chicken marinade. I use leftover roasted, grilled or poached chicken. The recipe and delicious, simple dressing would be good without chicken or any meat.

So happy for the good results Jasdip!

I am going to try that ranch pork chop recipe, I have everything I need to do them. I think that will be dinner either tonight or tomorrow. I also have stuff for homemade tacos, what to do...

Just reading this....happy for the good update, Jasdip. Last night we had ribeyes. It was our 50th anniversary and husband was going to take me out to eat, but I saw some nice looking ribeyes at the supermarket and decided I'd just fix them myself....and save the money that it would have cost to eat out.

Happy anniversary Marilyn!!!! Ribeyes are a terrific choice.

Marilyn, that's quite a milestone! Congratulations to you and your husband.
