Okay, we all need to band together and help LaceyEx get through these cooking blaas! She has always been there for me and I am sure she would be there for any of us with some more of her great ideas. We aren't going to let you get burned out now LaceyEx...we need your input here. I'm doing my ring bologna tonight. One of my husbands favorites. But I think this time I'm cooking it with beans--baked or pork and beans. He said he wants to try it that way. Guess I'm just going t make something up. Wish me luck, that's not one of my better attributes!! No recipe and I'm lost.
Too true, will put on my thinking cap, and see what I can come up with!
To me, a recipe is just a vague suggestion!
I have been reading all of your posts in this thread... and besides making me hungry... and salivating... I think I have actually gained a few pounds just from the reading! Hope your families appreciate all the work and planning ya'll do in keeping them so well-fed!
Great posts, everyone! Thanks for sharing all the good recipes, too!
This thread is amazing....just a bunch of us trying to figure out what to make for dinner. I love coming here. Everyone is so helpful and we all are having fun. That's what life is suppose to be about, right? And to get a great meal on top of it all----well you just can't beat it.

Me, too! I feel like I am in a big room with good friends, how cool is that!
Did Lacey mention shrimp and linguine? or clams and linguine? That sounds good -- have to make it this weekend!
Other ideas: spaghetti and meatballs, baked ravioli, enchiladas, fish tacos, stir fry, baked salmon with pesto, pulled pork, steak and mushrooms, pork chops and egg noodles, tuna casserole, turkey tetrazzini, crab cakes, etc.
I love to google "food blogs" or throw an ingredient into allrecipes.com and see what comes up.
(Can you tell I skipped lunch and am now starving?)
Thanx all-just the winter blahs-it's been a long, cold, gray one here in MN. Still plugging away at the old stove tho.
Highlands-yes may make linguine w/white clam sauce. When we lived in NJ (shore area) we had all the fresh clams,mussels, fish. Out here all fish is frozen (mainly from China) and nary a clam to be found except in cans-but I adapted. I also think I'm in a "missing my kids and grandkids funk". But I'll survive. Coming here everyday and having all of you and your great ideas is great therapy.

I'm from NJ! It's not as cold here as it normally is in January ..and certainly not as cold as you are right now...but ....its been gloomy - rainy - your not missing anything...at least out there you get to see the beautiful snow!
I'm craving pasta like mad, so I'm going to make turkey spaghetti with whole wheat noodles - remember our diet? *sigh*
The non-pasta-loving hubby said he'll eat it, so we'll see what happens. Wish me luck - this is new to me! Wheat pasta and turkey....hmmmm. *crossing fingers*

Oh LaceyEx....I do understand---I'm right here with you as far as the kids and grandkids go. Sure wish we lived closer...we could comfort each other a bit better. I so understand and I so miss my family. Guess ya'll have sorta taken the place of my family by being able to share the good things in life....well cooking anyhow!! We just need to stick together and it will all work itself out...I have to believe that!! I am here if you need a shoulder...I may need your's as well.
