Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I love black beans too!
There is a Cuban restaurant near me that does fabulous black bean dishes. They use seasonings that are perfect for black beans.
I wish that I had my grandpa’s candy recipes.
He made, peanut brittle, pralines and divinity candies that were divine!
I loved them as a kid.
Thank you in advance!

Tonight supper was homemade spicy black bean soup perked up with lime, and oven roasted rutabaga fries. I made crispy tofu for lunch and roasted butternut squash and it was good!
I love cabbage too - raw or cooked.
I bet it is better than microwaved bacon. I don’t nuke it.
I usually fry it, then drain it. Will have to try baking it.
cwille, I have cut it in half to fit in the pan.
I never thought of cooking bacon in the oven. Might try it with eggs and French Toast for a special treat, I used to like to dip my bacon in maple syrup as a kid. My dad used to cook his eggs in the bacon fat and it was really good. Things have changed since the earlier days and we all eat pretty healthy most days in our household. Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your day tomorrow. Just think not so much clean up.
I'm doing a potato, some cabbage and onion boiled together with a couple of pieces of bacon - doesn't sound like much but it sure smells good!
Baked salmon, mashed potatoes, baked butternut squash, carrots and peas.
Apple crisp with whip cream.
Yes, it is. It’s a basic dressing recipe.
I like the shrimp stuffed peppers occasionally. Most of the time I do the ground beef with rice.
I don’t cook the rice. It’s always cooked when I take the peppers out of the oven. Do you use raw or cooked rice? Do you only use green peppers or use other ones too? Sometimes I use red, orange, yellow and green!
Some people do use cooked rice. Works either way. I like my peppers cooked fully for stuffed peppers.
Otherwise, I don’t like mushy veggies either.
I don't pre-cooked my peppers either. I like my peppers to have a little snap to them!
How is the shrimp stuffing made? Is it like regular stuffing but with shrimp?
You will be finished with your eye surgeries fairly soon.
Hope all goes well. Glad that the first one went well.
Yes, I do the ground beef peppers just like you do.
The shrimp one is done with a shrimp stuffing or in the south we call it ‘dressing.’ It’s better to have peppers cooked ahead of time for the shrimp because otherwise the shrimp would overcook.
I don’t precook the peppers when I use ground beef. My mom used to par boil the peppers. I never did that with beef. With shrimp I do.
I never thought about Shrimp. I'll have to try that! Hamburger with white rice and tomato sauce.
It’s a common dish here. Very easy to make but sort of like our gumbo. Everyone makes it their own way!
I love stuffed peppers! What stuffing do you do?
I do either ground beef or I do a shrimp stuffing.
I felt like BBQ so my husband grilled burgers for us. They were yummy!
NHWM,
I love Jambalaya. The last time I had very good Jambalaya was when my dad made it and that was over 10 yrs. I should try to make some one day! 😋
Llama,
Gand to hear everything went good! 💗💖
Thank you Send! I thought the Turkey avatar was a good fit!
