What's for Dinner September---?? 2010 (healthy, Kansas, grease, fruit)

[Hunter Wold]

Not for many:
calves liver/onions/bacon, mashed potatoes/brown gravy, greens, cornbread.

That's life on the ranch.

We are having spaghetti. I made some sauce the other day and didn't can it all, so I need to use it! If I have time, I plan to make some rolls. I need to send the kids out to cut veggies for a salad.

I had a big cooking weekend. Well, big for me.

I made shepherd's pie (with turkey instead of beef), with mushrooms mixed in and with parmesan in the potato.

I also made lasagna, which I haven't made in 100 years. I added fresh spinach (sauteed) in each layer. I used a full pound of mozzarella.

We've had one meal of each dish already, so it's shepherd's pie again tonight.

Funny how it works, though, right? It all sounds delicious until you're elbow deep into the cooking. It smells great while it's cooking (and while you're cleaning up), but once it's ready, you're totally disinterested. That's why I like going out to eat -- I'm ALWAYS interested in what I didn't have to MAKE.

I'm that way if I cook a big fancy holiday type meal, but I don't have that problem if I make several simple dishes (like soup, a pot of beans, etc). For this reason I like to cook things that make great leftovers (lasagna, roast turkey, ham, etc) because I can enjoy many more great meals from them on days I didn't cook!

Oh, I also can't eat cookies after I've baked them. I find I've dined on the smell (and the cookie dough ).

Thanks for the well wish. I am feeling better.

Tonight for dinner my daughter made white chili. I hope it tastes as good as it smells in here.

I would like the recipe, too. From what she posted, I have many of those ingredients on hand. Feta and chicken just love each other, anyway. It sounds wonderful.

Eta, I looked up recipes and I think I've had this a few times before. It didn't have artichoke, though. It had a ritz cracker topping and contained green olives.

Tonight: baked chicken breasts stuffed with spinach & cream cheese, wrapped in bacon. I'll diet later!
