Hello Friends,

The end of winter draws closer, but spring is not in sight just yet. Many of you are making Soups and Stews and Chili that the rest of us would love to sample. I'll be making something in a pot this weekend,
but I will choose at the store when I see what appeals to my eye and palate. Perhaps a hunk of ham with cabbage/potatoes/and carrots. Maybe a large chicken boiled and picked clean and some Mac & Cheese. Homemade Beef Stew is always a winning favorite in my home.

WHAT ARE YOU COOKING ? [biggrin]

This Saturday (March 17th) will be St. Patrick's Day. Along with wearing green and drinking a lot of beer, many enjoy a traditional meal. I will be enjoying mine at a local restaurant.

Corned Beef with Cabbage, Potatoes, and Carrots is a favorite that I always look forward to. I've also prepared this meal in my own home with a large Slow Cooker. IMO, slow cooking a corned beef brisket is the best method as it yields meat that melts in your mouth.


Happy St. Patrick's Day !

I already cooked my corn beef and cabbage. It only takes 50 minutes of cooking time in my pressure cooker as compared to 12 hours for the same results in a slow cooker.
And it’s SOOOO GOOD!!!

Spring is here !

The weather is right for relaxing on those Decks and/or Patios. For many that means grilling season is here again. I'd like to suggest a few of my grill favorites.
Grilled fresh Tuna
Bar-B-Que Chicken
Foil wrapped Shish Kabobs
Honey Grilled Pork Chops

Great Sides:
Pasta Salad
Baked Beans
Cubed Watermellon
Hush Puppies
Cole Slaw
Green Garden Salad


[cheers]

Fall is Football Season.


Lets talk a little about those Sunday football meals. Many will just let their wife or some other handle it.
However with a little pre-planning, you could make your Sunday even more special.

I like to plan ahead of time, buy the supplies needed, then I can enjoy my football games with my favorite foods. My Sunday menu this week includes the following:

Pulled Pork Bar-B-Que
Fresh Cole Slaw
Seasoned Baked Beans
Lays Potato Chips
Hamburger Rolls (for BBQ Sandwiches)
Ice Cold Miller High Life Beer (my favorite)
and for latter on Sunday night
Orange or Lime Sherbert


Whatever your having, have a great Sunday football meal !

I’m usually too nervous to eat during Packer games. Usually will just munch some kind of snack. Maybe chips or popcorn.
I eat after the game is over.
Last night I made some tenderloin, (our local Sentry store had it on sale for $6.77 a pound, plus 17% off of that! Can hardly buy good hamburger for that!) made it under my toaster oven broiler. And mashed taters and sweet corn. Yum!
I’m the cook in the family (my wife can cook, but she knows I really enjoy cooking so she lets me do it).
With what you are preparing for a game meal, I wish I could come over and dig into what you are cooking! Of course after a season of that, I’d weigh 300 pounds!😂

IMO, preparing a Sunday meal menu is more than fixing loads of food. As much as I look forward to enjoying football with with my favorite foods, storing the leftovers for another meal or two also plays a role in such a Sunday menu.

For me, small portions over the course of the entire Sunday as the games progress is the way to go. Loading up with one huge meal is sometimes the order of the day (Thanksgiving, Christmas, or if invited to dine at someone else's home), but for me at my home a BBQ sandwich with coleslaw on it may be all I'll eat during the first half of the 1st Sunday game and I'll drink my beers along through the day. By the middle of the 3rd qtr I may be ready to enjoy a small bowl of the Baked Beans and a handful of the Potato chips. By the end of the day/evening what food I've got leftover goes into the refrigerator next to the remaining coleslaw to be enjoyed as a future lunch or dinner. I have to live on a budget, and with that comes the need to not waste anything if it can be helped.

I'm already thinking ahead to week 3, I may go with a slow cooked Beef Stew (loaded with Potatoes,Carrots, & Onions) or Roast Chicken (prepared by my local grocery store) or I may go with Taco Salad Day (seasoned hamburger, chips, & loads of fixings). Of course there is always the not to be left out apple or peach or orange or etc. to help maintain a proper diet.

All this may sound like a ton of food, but if carefully planned, Sundays special fare can still be special for lunch on Wednesday too. Now if you will pardon me, there is a cold beer in my refrigerator that needs my personal attention. 😁

As the week 3 Sunday games approach, again I find myself pondering what game day treats I will wish to enjoy. Last weeks BBQ was fabulous, but I'd like to go in a different direction this week. Any friendly suggestions will be respectfully revued. I am currently thinking of maybe a chicken based casserole or perhaps a chicken based stew.

[cheers]

Chicken yes, but not a stew or casserole. My Week 3 Sunday menu will consist of the following:

Roast Chicken (a whole one prepared by my local grocer)
Hoagie Rolls
Provolone Cheese (sliced)
Lettuce,Tomato, & the full complement of desired Condiments
Potato Salad (from my grocer)
Pretzels & Cheddar Cheese Cubes
Ice Cold Miller High Life Beer


Enjoy your Sunday .
