A Gardeners Forum Forums Willy's Place Members Favorite Recipes What did you have, or will you have for supper tonight???

Mom,
That sounds different.
I bet my father in law would love that!!!
I'll have to show him that one!!
Thanks for the recipe.

I hope you'll add a few more of your recipes
here. We'd like to get some ideas for dinner.
Sometimes, you're just not sure what to have,
and it's kinda nice to take a quick peak and
say, hey, that sounds good!!!
If you have anymore, add a few as the days go by.
It's getting colder and I cook alot in the winter.
I HATE to cook in the summer,
anything that takes me OUT of the garden,
I'm ugly!!! And I'm pretty sure others will appreciate them too!!!!
Do you do alot of cooking?
Or is that a silly question??
I do alot, but I'm so bad,
it's all just thrown in, no measuring!!!
It's so hard to reproduce my recipes!!
Thanks!!

For Lunch we had..........
Home made little pizza's.

You need;
1 can HUNTS tomato sauce
mozzerella cheese
Margerita pepperoni
ground pepper
garlic powder

We get the already made pizza shells
from our local grocery store called Tops here.
(The little personal pan pizza size)
I put 3 frozen pie shells to a cookie sheet.
Take a lg tablespoon and put on about 3 tbsp.
I spread it a bit, but not all the way down
because then it seems to drip off too fast.
I don't measure,
(I'll have to work on that )
I put a good shaking of garlic powder and
fine ground black pepper,
but if you like the course one, or red or white
add it, if you like it spicey, add it all!!!!
sprinkle the cheese over the top, as much or as
little as you like.
Put pepperoni on top, same as above for cheese.

You can sprinkle oregano or what ever you like
on your pizza's....
Bake for 375 for 15/20 minutes.

They sound perfect for kids weezie!!! We cheated tonight and ordered out to our local sub shop....the nights we order out are what my husband likes to call his cooking nights....LOL That's his way of cooking-- picking up the phone...Wish he would cook more often....LOL

Just to his defense though, he can cook....he makes a wonderful beef stew, and he is the breakfast man....plus he can make a lot of other things....when I get sick or get a migraine he brings me dinner in bed so I can't complain!!

Kevin has often joked,
breakfast in bed is when you
see an orange being thrown at you!!
He brings home "dinner" alot!!
I am so bad, I equally love to
cook as much as I love to eat out!

And working in the restaurant business,
it's hard to get away from the "fast~food"
concept......
But I try to do equal amounts.
We love pizza, BBQ chicken, chicken wings and chicken fingers, and I love cheese subs!!

But I love to cook and I make up alot of recipes,
but my problem is, I never develope an actual
recipe to have other people use.
But when I post my "recipes" I hope I give
people a basic idea for a food item and they
can incorporate all the foods they like into it.

And by the way the pizza's are great for
EVERY PERSON in the house.
My oldest doesn't like cheese,
my youngest doesn't like pepperoni,
and I LOVE MY SPICEY!!
And the hubby like the green spices
and I don't, so it works out perfect,
that everybody gets what they like and
relatively easy to do...(or not do)

Hi Weezie,

Do you "cook" your Sauerkraut (the one that goes with the Polish Sausage, or do you eat it straight from the jar?

I "cook" store bought sauerkraut...with caraway seeds, bay leaf and black peppercorn. Yummy!!!

Last night I made a lasagna but the man of the house doesn't eat pasta so I had to cook moose meat also. Today the kids want a chicken soup, so I'll keep all of them happy by making it with partridge.

last night I browned a diced onion and then bite-sized pieces of venison with salt & pepper. Then I poured a can of cream of mushroom soup over it and two cans of mushrooms in it, then stirred it well.
Served over buttered noodles and with homemade biscuits! no left overs.

Man, am I behind on this section or what?

Papito,
I don't eat the polish sausage, (*Yuck on the meat catagory for me) but, I cook the polish sausage in pieces about 1 1/2" thick, I quickly carmelize them on one side, and do the same for the other, the carmelizing brings out their flavor, but keeps the juice inside.
Then the carmelizing on the pan, adds to the little bit of the saurkraut juice to the pan,
Then, I add the saurkraut only on one side,
(*husband can not stand the stuff) so, I cook mine on the saurkraut on the one side, mother and the boys get the middle with the meat and saurkraut and Hubby gets the meat side. All works out. I have to "cook" it, I am not one for too sour of saurkraut, the juice from the sausage is just enough to tame it down.

My mother used to cook it in a cast iron skillet, with a pork roast too, I do not like it that way!!
ewwwwwwwwww!!
(I am not a big~meat~eater)

And my girlfriend makes her own,
I'm not quite into that either!!!

Weezie

Tamara,
I make lasgna here, but I guess mine
wouldn't be traditional..
I make it 3 different ways in the same pan......
(which reminds me, I haven't made it in a bit, and I should soon!!)
But, I don't eat meat in mine, I do cheese and tomato sauces. And my husband does not like alot of stingy cheese in his meat, so I make it both ways. But my mother likes it lite on the cheese and lite on the meat.
so, on one end, I do mine, all cheese,
in the middle I do lite of both,
and on the other end I pack it with the meat.
We all get a nice hot meal,
each done their own way, it can be done..
side of salad, and bread and butter or garlic bread...
And ONE PAN, that's the greatest part!!!!

ohm yum, I"m gonna have to make that soon!

Jiffy,
I have heard of dishes like that,
it sounds good, and that's one thing about the
recipe section here,
It sounds good to someone, they might not thought of or heard of before....
I'll post one, with that type of soup with noodles.
Weezie
Thanks for the idea!

Tuna Noodle Cassarole,
1 can of tuna
(*I perferr the white albacore in water only*)
Noodles
1 can of cream of mushroom or cream of celery
your choice, and if you like both, use one can one time, the other one the next for variety.

cook noodles, 3/4 the way through,
drain,
put in micro safe dish or oven (pyrex)
drain the tuna if you like it drained,
(we don't with the water, when cooking it, you need an extra little bit of water, so it doesn't just turn into mush)
add ingredients together,
Now, I personally don't like cooked tuna,
so, when it's warm from the noodles,
I pull mine out, but cook it up
for about say 20/25 minutes
or so at 350/375 degrees, in oven.
Only about 5/8 minutes in micro
depending on your micro size..

Weezie

Now say, you don't like cooked mushrooms, or same for celery, both the soups are a good cream base over noodles, just take a strainer and strain the soup through it, it'll give you a smooth sauce over them with out the hunks in it...............
