Chix cordon bleu burgers
I've found TONS of recipes from Rachael Ray on her daily show. I just substitute her more exotic ingreds for stuff I already have here or can buy on the cheap.
one of my faves she did was
CHICKEN CORDON BLEU BURGERS
1 lb ground chicken or turkey
4 or 5 slices swiss cheese (more or less to your taste)
about 1/4 cup of chopped ham (use leftover or even lunchmeat chopped)
**Mix all ingredients together and cook either on the grill or in a bit of olive oil in a nonstick pan on stovetop until juices run clear.
I buy the ground chicken/turkey when it's on markdown at the store and freeze for when we want to make these yummy burgers!
Asparagus
Purchase tender, young asparagus tips. Prep. Place on plate and drizzle with olive oil, salt, lemon pepper seasoning, lemon zest and toss. Place in refigerator until ready to use. Place 1 TB of liquid from the meat you are preparing (turkey) into a heated pan. Add asparagus to pan and cook on medium approximately 5 minutes or done. Do not overcook. You may reheat in oven, but works just as well at room temp. BTW, any left overs can be chopped and placed in an omelete the next day. Delicious.
My dad told me that I got the chicken pox from playing in the chicken coop. I believed him for years

cheesy potatos

We make cheesy potatos with ham;


Layer thinly sliced potatos, thinly sliced onions, swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese in a baking dish.  Bake on 400 til potatos are soft and cheese is melted.  Very simple but delicious! Goes wonderfuly with ham...


Consider using fresh herbs. So fresh
and spring-y. :oD

I love fresh sage with pork. I especially love pork chops. Great, now I'm hungry.
Grilled rib steak, shrimp scampi, asparagus and green salad...
I'm getting hungry just seeing the steaks marinating, lol!

I'm very blessed...my SO is a gourmet cook. We rarely eat out because what he can prepare at home tastes much better than anything we could get at a restaurant and costs half as much to prepare.

Geez, it's only 1 o'clock...hope the time passes quickly til dinner!!!
Thank you! Actually, the fried chicken is chicken strips sm
breaded and fried that I make from scratch. Yes, I buy the 5 pound bag from Sam's club, fry it up and then toss is with my mom's famous teriyaki sauce cut into small, bite sized pieces. With 5 pounds cut up I can make well over 120 pieces. No big deal! Thanks for your suggestions!
burned the crap out of my belly with mashed potatos

I was just stiring instant potatos and then somehow it jumped on my belly and now I have this 2-3 inch mass of skin that has blisters, some of which have popped, and this one 2 inch round lesion that just looks gross.  I probably should have gone to the hospital, but since I have no money I just treated it over the counter with antibiotic ointment.  Has anyone done this before?  If so what did you use?  It is painful!!!!  I bought this lidocaine stuff, but it hurts worse.  At least it is healing!!!  I am a dum dum!!!  Those potatos were out to get me darnit!!!


Asparagus and/or peas with mint are nice side veggies. Have everyone bring a dessert

Slow Roasted Cuban Pork recipe

Hi,

Quite a few years back, I had a recipe I can no longer find at home or on the internet, which is where I believe I first found it.

It's for Cuban slow roasted pork with mojo sauce. The recipe's instructions called for putting the roast in the oven on very low heat for at least 24 hours. (I've found a similar one on Epicurious, but would prefer to re-find the one I originally used).

Sound familiar? If so, can you point me in the right direction?


Thanks. 


...and white roasted taters with herbs and rosemary. Or how
s
Hmm, roasted peppers, olives, garlic, tomatoes
Yummy! My husband and I neither one grew up eating the above - we had mostly the bland food and the reason being, there are a lot of people who just do not know how to use spices and seasonings. Glad grown now because I have all those delicious things you speak of. Years ago in Mexico I had roasted green peppers with cheese- tried to match but mine never the same. Mouth is watering!

Actually, I never even thought about using fresh
chicken (the girl who gave me the recipe said to use the canned chicken undrained). It probably would be even better with the fresh chicken and some of the broth. I was just passing on what was a very good recipe. Anyway, have a good day!
Then you might want to try some fresh stuff.
I just made a turkey breast today that was very tasty. In a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, I chopped up some fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, and a couple cloves of crushed garlic. Then, I just rubbed that onto the (skinless) turkey breast.

I oven-roasted that with some vegetables, but you could put that on chicken breasts and bake or grill them. They'd be good either way.

Good luck!
Thank you for the breath of fresh air
and the very nice comment to both of us. We really have hurt no one and have found someone who mutually shares the love of animals, as I am sure so many of you do. I spoke just last week to a lovely MT who has a little Pekinese named Sophie. We had a great conversation about that. With an elderly very ill parent this board has given me something to focus on and relieve some fear and tension. Thanks again. You comments are truly appreciated.
fresh towels
I use Gain detergent, the regular kind. Has a really nice smell. We live by ocean so our towels get musty smelling quite easily.
used to eat fresh dough but...sm
Was warned not to do this or let kids do it if the dough contained egg, very bad to eat raw, so cut out the licking of the spoon. I know most cookies don't have egg, but we were addicted to all batter. No longer lick the spoons when done.
Fresh coconut!

I had a hankerin for a coconut a few weeks ago so I bought one.  Hadn't had one since I was a kid.  I drilled the holes in the 'eyes' and drank the coconut juice inside.  Then I pryed out the meat, meticulously peeled the brown junk off it with a knife, and ate a whole bunch.  Okay, my husband and I both at the whole thing in one sitting it was sooooo yummy!  The next day...well, all I'm gonna say is that I am thankful we have 2 bathrooms and were fully stocked on TP.  We weren't sick mind you, just incredibly cleaned out.  The coconut juice, which only I drank, acted like a diuretic and I think I peed every hour on the hour--and incredible amount each time at that. 


I have chronic constipation too because I hate to drink water.  I tend to stay borderline dehydrated myself.  The chemical laxatives just plain wreak havoc and are very painful and inconvenient to put it nicely.  I'd go with better diet, water, and fruits before I'd go with pills if at all possible.  Hope she feels better soon!


me too! breath of fresh air.
except for maybe the typo-gestapo. but even that has faded.

BREATH OF FRESH AIR
I think MTStars is Breath of Fresh Air after change in administration. This thread is staying on board is proof of it. MTStars was personal forum rather public board beofre.

I was sick of HER, deleting every other thread and banning those who expressed their opinions that wasn't acceptable for her.


Fresh lettuce from the garden!
  Luv that stuff.  Your sammy sounds delicious!  Yummmm...  TX for sharing...
*hugs* I'm so sorry. I know the pain as it is still very fresh for me. SM

He had such loving parents these last months of his life and you did everything you could for him. 


At the cremation place they gave me this card.


The Rainbow Bridge


Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.  When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge.


There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.  There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.  All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor.  Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in or dreams of days and times gone by.  The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing, they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind.  They all run and play together but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.  Their bright eyes are intent.  Their eager body quivers.  Suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them faster and faster.  You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.  The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.


Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...


 


 


Not sure about that, but I thought fresh carrots are usually used. What about
salt in canned foods? That would be my concern with taste, etc. 
after BR there are many Fresh Start programs.

Don't forget the fresh stuff!

All suggestions posted area great.  Don't forget to add in fresh stuff.  A head of iceberg lettuce is pretty inexpensive most days, especially with summer coming.  How about getting seeds and planting a garden?  You can start the seeds indoors right about now and they'll be ready to go outside in a month or so.


This is a great site, too.

Lots of really good frugal ideas.


I just bought a bunch of stuff to make breakfast burritos with - which is one of my favorite food groups.  24 eggs, a large package of Jimmy Dean sausage, 2 bags of cheese, 1 large tub of red chile, 30 tortillas and 5 pounds of potatoes only cost $22 and change.  I figure I'll get at least 25, possibly 30 burritos out of it.  I'm assembling them and sticking them in the freezer as one of my projects today.


 


Just brewed me a fresh pot of Kona coffee.
 I figured I needed a little stimulation to keep me awake. Work is slow today, but can not afford any more time off. 
Fresh direct dilivers to most of the boroughs. sm
Are you in NYC or upstate.  Because Fresh Direct deliver almost everywhere in NYC.  Not much upstate, though.
there is also a jello with fresh cranberries receipe
my mom and aunt use to make.  can add walnuts or leave it plain. 
Sometimes I chop a little onion and add to the salmon with fresh

parsley.  Sometimes I will add just a touch of mustard.  Any way I make them they seem to turn out good.  I usually just make them with egg white instead of the whole egg, but sometimes will add the egg yolk as well.  I love salmon and make it frequently for myself as well.

...finish my thought (a common problem in Chuckville).

Now that I finally have closed on the house (just a month ago) I have a huge yard in which to put in a garden this year (or whenever I get the energy, at least, which may be the 12th of Never the way I'm feeling today, but can't be until about mid May with our short growing season here).

Speaking of lettuce, the local (and only one for about 35 miles in any direction) grocery store here had iceberg lettuce for $3.95 a head the year before last. I kid you not. I coulda plotzed.

What about chicken; so much you can do with it.
And if you buy the large packages, it's fairly inexpensive. Also, eggs are inexpensive, quiche or omelets. Grilled cheese with tomato. Baked macaroni and cheese casserole. There is really so much.

Do try Zatarain's meals in a box, very cheap and we love them. You just add the meat or seafood. Here is a website.

And their rices are by far the best as side dishes, much better than Rice a Roni or Uncle Ben's I think. Cooks up fluffy, not sticky and a large amount.

Here's one of my chicken recipes:

Easy parmesan chicken

Dip chicken breast in melted butter/garlic mix (1 stick butter and 1/2 tsp minced garlic)

Coat with breadcrumb mix (I used flavored/seasoned with about 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and pinch of garlic powder added).

Place in pan. Pour the remaining butter on top, or not. I do! :)

Bake in oven at 325 for around 30 minutes.

Yum.
