Make some tamales with that masa.
Sunday was my first try at chilaquiles. My oh my, LOVED them. I fried corn tortilla strips for them (another first), used enchilada sauce, and served with a couple fried eggs on top. Unfortunately, DH just liked them, didn't LOVE! them like I did, so I won't be fixing them once a week like I might want to otherwise. :)
Monday was minestrone w/Italian bread sticks, yesterday was hot shredded beef sandwiches and a relish plate, and today was chicken yakisoba. Tomorrow is furniture shopping (yuk!) so will have lunch out.
Had a really good dinner last night. Broiled salmon, roasted cauliflower and sweet onions with lemon juice and garlic, and mashed sweet potatoes with a little butter. Yum!
I made Chik'n Veggie Barley soup yesterday while home for snow (still home...) I have eaten about 1/2 already. It includes the following:
carrots
celery
onion
red pepper
corn
lima beans
green beans
peas
tomatoes
cabbage
barley
soy chik'n
veggie bullion
herbs (Italian mix)
garlic
crushed red pepper
Mushroom bourguignon. It's delicious and is great for the vegetarian/meat-eating couple, because the mushrooms taste so meaty. My meat-and-potatoes DH loves it.
I took a vacation day from work and styed home to cook and freeze food and listen to the radio. I made:
* 6 stuffed peppers
* Two nights worth of
--noodle soup with ham
-- beef and tomato topping for spaghetti or rice
--chicken curry
--shreded pork/beans for taco fillings.
I am cleaning out the pantry and the big freezer. We are completely out of dried beans and have precious little pasta. I used up all of the coconut milk, all of the pineapple, and much of the frozen peppers from our garden as well as the cherry tomatoes that we froze.
We have entirely too much Arboro rice so I will have to figure out a way to use it up; I did use some of it for stuffing peppers. We have bags and bags of frozen sweet corn, donated by my father-in-law last summer. I think that will have to go into next winter.
Friday was hamburger sandwiches (needed to finish up a loaf of bread) along with some leftover broccoli-n-cheese-sauce. Today bacon and pancakes for brunch; gonna make tacquitos for this evening. Tomorrow is my first try at Mongolian Beef, along with rice and bacon-spinach salad. And the weather is supposed to be downright warmish tomorrow, so DH is wanting to grill. We'll have whatever he grills Monday along with squash medley and more bacon-spinach salad.
Lin, grilling sounds wonderful, but our grill is under about a foot of snow right now...
Last night's dinner was a slow-cooked beef salsa casera -- some chuck cooked with a can of salsa casera, some diced tomatoes, and onions. It was supposed to be served on sprouted-grain tortillas, but they became science experiments, so it was served on those thin-slice bread things instead.
The night before that was what is purported to be the (Seinfeld) Soup Nazi's Chicken Chili, though the texture is much closer to soup. Still tasty and a great way to stretch a pound of chicken breast.
I think tonight's dinner will be some sort of okonomiyaki or egg fu yung; we've got lots of dribs and drabs we need to get out of the 'fridge.
I was about to set out the last 4 slices of oldish bread for the chickens this morning, when I thought "croutons!" Why waste it on the chickens when we might enjoy it on our bacon-spinach salad? And so I did and they turned out very good. The chickens only got the crust(s).
Sorry about your grill being buried Steve. Not to gloat (:)) but I have a batch of slow-grilled fat ribs (country-style ribs, they call them) making my kitchen smell heavenly right now, and ready to finish in the oven tomorrow with some bbq sauce for our main meal. And DH is finishing the coals with a big smoked sausage we had in the freezer needing used - will freeze it for future use. It did him good to get outside and enjoying some fresh air, warmer weather, and his grill - he's in a much better humor tonight.
Sometimes life just smells delicious.
