What to make for lunch before Thansgiving dinner?
Comments (15)Lunch? Nah, we eat at 1 p.m. then pick at leftovers all day! I have coffee for breakfast so I don't miss out on any of the Thanksgiving dinner goodies but I always have cheese and crackers, some of that veggie pizza made with crescent roll dough that Amanda loves, olives and pickles, so people can snack if they are hungry before dinner. Oh, yeah, wine. LOL Elery likes wine with his meal, but I have a bottle of ice wine that we'll have as dessert or after dessert or later or something. (grin) I also have a bottle of "Naughty Red", a very dry red wine that was a wedding gift, maybe later after everyone is gone Elery and I will drink that. Well, he'll drink it, I'll have a glass that I'll sip because I still haven't learned to like dry/red wine. I'm told it's an acquired taste and I just haven't acquired it yet!

Comments (34)I bought a few of these: http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Stainless-King-SK3000MB4-Midnight/dp/B0017IFSIS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1320542508&sr=8-3 My kids/DH tell me that their lunches are still piping hot when they're opened. I make soups or stews and freeze them. In the morning, I pop the frozen square (if I've forgotten to thaw it) into a pot or the microwave and warm it up. Add noodles if needed, put into preheated thermos and we're good to go. My teens like it. I pack a tuna noodle salad about every other week. I will sometimes use canned salmon instead, but they prefer the tuna. Some days, my husband will make a frozen pizza early in the morning, let it cool and the kids take slices of that to eat cold. They really love that. They get hot lunch at school once a week, on "Chef Day", when there's something really good that they want. Once in awhile I still buy lunchmeat and let them make a few sandwiches with it, but it's not very often. We can't send PB&J with my daughter because there are several kids at her school with severe nut allergies and she worries about causing a problem for them. Carrots are the usual veg of choice for the lunchboxes, and they prefer to have a fruit snack when they get home so I have stopped trying to get them to pack fruit in their lunches. I am less strict about lunches than I am about breakfast and dinner, the goal is to get something fairly healthy that they will actually eat and enjoy into the lunchbox. Gloved and gowned, I once dug through the luncheon garbage from grades 1-5, looking for a lost retainer. I was horrified at the number of whole apples and bananas thrown away, and the number of lunches that were not even opened. Bag after bag lunch, obviously lovingly packed, some with cheery notes or hearts on them! Baggies with whole sandwiches, or whole bags of vegetables or fruits. I felt so bad for those moms, and for the teachers who had to deal with hungry, crabby kids for the afternoon. And irritated with the unknown kids, who were wasting so much nutritious food when so many children in the world go hungry every day. It was disgusting.

Comments (36)Recipe from The Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY. The Legendary Hot Brown Recipe Ingredients: 4 oz. Butter Flour to make a Roux (about 6 tablespoons) 3 - 3 1/2 cups Milk 1 Beaten Egg 6 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese 1 oz. Whipped Cream (optional) Salt and Pepper to Taste Slices of Roast Turkey 8-12 Slices of Toast (may be trimmed) Extra Parmesan for Topping 8-12 Strips of Fried Bacon Melt butter and add enough flour to make a reasonably thick roux (enough to absorb all of the butter). Add milk and Parmesan cheese. Add egg to thicken sauce, but do not allow sauce to boil. Remove from heat. Fold in whipped cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. For each Hot Brown, place two slices of toast on a metal (or flameproof) dish. Cover the toast with a liberal amount of turkey. Pour a generous amount of sauce over the turkey and toast. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Place entire dish under a broiler until the sauce is speckled brown and bubbly. Remove from broiler, cross two pieces of bacon on top, and serve immediately....See MoreWhat is For Lunch Today?
Comments (38)My apple salad is just 3 kinds of apples if possible. Use a total of 3 apples, a cup of diced celery, a cup of grapes halved or raisins if you don't have grapes, a cup of mini marshmallows, enough mayo or Miracle whip to mix all together. If not sweet enough add a bit of sugar. You can also add some of your favorite nuts, toasted is good. Sue...See More- 7 years ago
