What are you cooking today?

[Marlow]

I cook for a small family, but I do cook most nights. Tonight we're having a vegetable curry over rice. Last night was meatless tamale pie. My daughter decided to be a vegetarian and it's mostly easier to cook vegetarian than to cook seperate things for her to eat.

But how about L A R G E families? Mass quanities? Most of the time I'm cooking for six, sometimes I cook meals for eight - ten. No I do not run a boarding house ! LOL
Is there any certain dish that you can recommend which can be spread around? Any recipes? Mac & Cheese won't do for my family.

Apple slices, very good idea...Will try this next time. Thanks

Hamburger vegetable soup goes a long way and very simple to prepare and let simmer or in a crock pot. We made this at a 911 dispatch center that I once worked at and would let it simmer for hours, due to busy traffic

ground beef or turkey browned amount to suit you 2#s is good
tall can of vegetable juice
1-2 pkgs. of frozen veggies of your choice mixed is good
large can of tomatoes or a few fresh if you have some
large onion(s) chopped (one relative would shoot me if I served onion)
can of beef or veggie broth or 2 cans
your personal seasonings - we like garlic lots of it

You can really mix leftovers all together also. Just a standard old recipe that does go far.

Can't wait to read others.

Stew
Homemade soups with homemade buns or bannock
