What are you having/making for supper?
Just wondering.

I'm making a mushroom, ham and swiss Impossible pie with peas and carrots on the side.
Pretty low carb.

How do you decide what to make?
Thats what drives me bonkers trying to figure it out every day, day in and day out.

I do have 2 days where I make the same things every week.
Fridays I make baked Italian hoagies
Saturdays I make homemade pizza.

Its the rest of the week. We don't go out to eat. 1) its too expensive and 2) never know if the ebt/bonnet brigade will show up and disrupt the place.

I had some frozen shrimp that needed to be used up so we're having cooked shrimp, oven fries and cole slaw for supper today.


I have a family size pack of chicken breasts that need used up so I'll be thawing those out for a couple of days in the fridge and I'll bake them off for meals in the future.

We had bison sloppy joes w/french fries.. our homemade 'joe sauce', fresh baked bread, & fries cooked in coconut oil. If you cook w/coconut oil the food does not taste like coconut & you can fry at higher temps.

Having precooked meat in the freezer is VERY handy! Our vacuum sealer crapped out gotta replace it. It lasted a long time though.

Sloppy joes sound good. I'll have to remember that when it gets cooler.

The weather here is still in summer mode so we're having lighter meals still.

I'll be making a stir fry today with lots of vegetables and mushrooms.

Its saturday that means home made pizza.

I let my bread machine make the dough.
Actually thats pretty much what I use my machine for just making bread and pizza dough.Not baking it.


Tomorrow I'll marinate the chicken breasts in some olive oil, white wine, garlic and a mix of herbs. Then bake them off.

Baked chicken potpie today.

sounds really good! I think we're gonna do bison burger pizza tonight.. my cheese order came last week. nordiccreamerydotcom has fantastic parmesan, not too impressed w/their mozz, but the parm is amazing. had grilled bacon/parm cheesy sandwiches on homemade bread yesterday. nom nom

re: bison burger... I'll never go back to hamburger. bison is soooo much better. waaaay less grease w/a mellow meaty flavor. love it.

I love parmesan cheese.
Its my all time favorite.
I could eat slices of that all day lol

Making a chicken, mushroom and rice casserole today.

with crunchy crumbs on top? nom

I'm making some fried chicken, mashed potatoes/gravy, and glazed carrots for sunday supper.
Grocery store had whole chickens on sale for $1.97 lb so I bought a couple 3 lb ones.
Have another one in the freezer for another time.

Southern gal

Yesterday I made a baked seafood potpie (double crust)
Took 1/2lb lump crab, one cod filet,1/2lb cooked shrimp finely chopped.
Hit the spot on a cold rainy day like yesterday.



I took the leftover 1/2lb crab and made crabcakes.
They're for supper today. Along with oven fries and garlic green beans.

Leftover potpie tomorrow.

Friday the usual baked Italian hoagies

Saturday I plan to make beef enchiladas.

Sunday is still up in the air.

I'm not sure how I missed this, but y'all are making me hungry.

Already cooked meat in the freezer is a win. Yesterday I grilled BL/SL chicken thighs, a couple hamburger patties and a couple rib eyes. I do it en masse, thinly slice and freeze it all for salads. I think I may get one more grill session in before winter.

I also have started using the crock pot. I love slow cooker Italian beef sammies. I just made beef stew in the slow cooker. I'm not a fan of that recipe, I think it was the diced tomatoes and it was also lacking in something.

Jalapeno cream cheese enchiladas are one of my favorite winter meals. Making the enchiladas is too time consuming so I do it layered like a lasagne instead.

Sunday I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans.
Yesterday we had meatloaf, au gratin potatoes and steamed broccoli
Today we're having baked chicken breasts, a boxed stuffing mix and canned beets.
Tomorrow I plan on fried boneless pork chops, mushroom rice and frozen peas and carrots.
The rest of the week is up in the air right now.
I'm busy Fall cleaning and helping hubby outside.
We still have all the awnings on the windows to take down for the Fall and Winter.
