What's Cooking for March

Winifred — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 14:05:36 GMT

The boards are a tad messed up this morning as at first try, could NOT start a new thread here so will see if this works. Preds you evidently ran into the same thing as your great greeting was in the February thread.

Soushi, hope things are well and that your DH is still doing better - that is good.

Davey and I went to Dennys last evening - I need to stop this cheating and also my pocketbook cannot stand it. LOL.

Will come back later after I figure out what I am fixing for dinner.

Stop by everyone - we love everyone's ideas on the food. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get together occasionally - sure would be some good eating!

Thanx @Winifred, for the March start off.

Your idea of a get together sounds like it would be fun, but at least we can do it here.

Had taco's last nite, tonite who knows, will head down to the freezer to check it out

Really icy here so I'm staying in today, I've reached that stage where caution is the better way to go

Take Care

Morning,

Thanks for starting us out, Winifred. I was at the beach yesterday. Weather is delightful, there was a soft breeze and I'm a little pink today.

Hope all is well with everyone. Here is a dressing I want to try:

Copycat Olive Garden Salad Dressing

Yield: 1½ cups dressing

Ingredients

1 packet Good Seasonings Italian Dressing Mix
¾ cup oil (vegetable/canola)
¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp white vinegar
¼ cup water
½ tsp sugar
½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ Tbsp mayonnaise (not miracle whip)Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk briskly so that there are no clumps of mayo. Keep refrigerated
Instructions

Afternoon all, pork chops for tonite & of course fried noodles, also picked up some asparagus on sale, so that'll be a go along

Sun is shining but more snow due tonite then a major warm up, hoping it's finally Spring to stay, we've had so many teases, strange Winter but not a bad one.

Trying to get a head start on Spring Cleaning, you know the really deep down kind, these days 1 room at a time is my limit, but it sure is a good feeling when it's done

Hope all have a good evening

Your meal sounds really good Spix. I love asparagus yet rarely fix it - have no clue why, I just don't. Need to perhaps rethink that.

Have a boneless chuck roast in the slow cooker with a big sweet onion - of course - and a big red bell pepper. Am warming up some collards I had left over and fixing some cauliflower as it was beginning to age and I did not want to lose it. Will miss having either noodles or potatoes with the roast but this will work - healthy and the food I had will not go to waste.

Nice day today but not as warm as yesterday - tomorrow the temps will drop a bit and by Saturday it will be around 60. Now that will not be real nice as it is also suppose to be overcast. Ho Hum.

Continue eating well everyone!! Sure always see some really good meals here.

Thanks for your greeting Preds BUT I guess you were not willing to sneak Friday in ahead of time. LOL.

Well dinner is not a great thing BUT like I always try to do, am using up some food in the Fridge. Hey, I grew up in WWII and you just do NOT waste food - have never forgotten rationed food, flour sacks for clothes and so it goes. Have always said growing up in that era taught me a lot. So dinner is the remainder of the great roast we had last night, baked potatoes and the rest of that yummy fried yellow squash and onions - works for Davey and I both!!! Guess I have to come up with something fresh for tomorrow.

Hope all had a great day - hope you ate well and Soushi, where are you? We are missing you!!!!!!! Let us know you are OK!!

going to make a banana nut bread this weekend-never made one before..poohbear

Re: What's Cooking for March

Winifred — Sat, 05 Mar 2016 00:06:10 GMT

Poohbear1, I will be first in line for that banana bread - love banana bread. Betty, known as Yock on the boards, and I almost had a knock down drag out while we were both visiting another poster from the Q boards in NC some years back - I won as I stole Betty's bread. LOL We were visiting with JodyNC who started the Birds Nest many moons ago - I sure wish we could get her back to the boards. Some of us back then took the time and energy to visit some of the posters - a lot of fun. Could not do it now.

OK, so I am having another weird dinner - am NOT going to go gung ho in cooking tonight - I am already tired. So will fix some Fettuccine Alfredo, sweet peas and sliced tomatoes. Well it is healthy - strange combo perhaps but I never worried about those things anyway.

Suppose to rain tomorrow and Sunday - please everyone send up your prayers this happens - we still need the rain desperately..

Oh my gosh, did I miss banana bread? My favorite thing. At least I learned what happened to the banana bread I was supposed to get all those years ago. Sigh

about ready to make some grilled cheese sandwiches. Then I will need to go to the store and get more bread. Usually am careful about running too low.

Re: What's Cooking for March

Winifred — Sat, 05 Mar 2016 23:12:06 GMT

You have to admit Betty, those days were some fun and ALWAYS good eating. Would love to do it again but it will not happen.

Got a lot done today - very quiet and I am not completely exhausted - that is hard to believe. Weird!! Have a fridge with way too much food in it - had some left over from last night and it was not a great big meal. Hmn. Also cheated and had a Philly Sandwich for lunch at Tams- as usual brought half of it home.

Got a bunch of things hauled out to the shed in back, washed way too many loads but did a lot of digging and GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR found a ton of stuff hidden - of course it was dirty. LOL. Still have to get out to the carport before it gets dark - well I do have lights out there but it will also be really cold - to clean up food and mess from a few days back. Shannon was watching Ricky and she was not running on all her cylinders for some reason and let the little boy make a BIG mess - so did she and nothing was cleaned up. Must clean it up as I do not like bugs, etc.

Bought a new bath mat for the tub - the one I had could not be cleaned in its entirely any longer - another GRRRR! Oh well, got a nice long one from the 99 cent store - that will be good enough

Hope all are eating well today!!

Soushi - where are you???????????????

No big deal for dinner last night either. Had some warmed up Fettuccini Alfredo - I really like that sauce on pasta. I think I ate way too much as I woke up this morning feeling stuffed. LOL

We did get rain during the night and expect more today and more tonight - that is good.

If I decide if there is anything outstanding I will have for dinner, will come back and report it.

Have a great day one and all.
