Backwards night! Breakfast for dinner!
Having bacon, eggs, toast. Usually have pancakes or waffles instead of toast, but not much gumption today...
Lookin' for a savory dinner-in-a-pumpkin recipe or a sweet one like the other one
s
Canned pumpkin - not pumpkin pie filling but sm
take your mix, add 1 can (i think 15 oz?) and one cup of water. Mix and bake as usual. This is an old Weight Watchers friendly recipe and is about 100 calories per serving, high in fiber and DELICIOUS. Make great cup cakes too.
Yum - pumpkin . . .
Thanks for posting this. I'm going to try it, as I am always looking for recipes without eggs - my son is allergic to them. Recipes with pumpkin always seem to turn out the best and as you said - very moist. 
Pumpkin pie
I was at the store the other day and they were baking pumpkin pies. It smelled sooo good. I've been dreaming about it ever since. If I make one I'll have to eat it by myself because no one else in the family likes them.
I love this time of year! It's cold outside, beef stew with corn muffins, football, pumpkin pie, the fireplace turned on. Just love it!
What's for lunch?
I'm sick of the same ole, same ole . . . need new ideas!
lunch
My husband works 12-hour shifts. He takes 2 meals to work with him. Usually a can of soup, a salad and 2 sandwiches, crackers and a few sodas to last him the 12 hours. For him to eat 2 meals out everyday would be way too expensive.
All through my kids' school years, they asked to carry their lunch. Said the school lunches were too nasty to buy. I made a sandwich, crackers or chips, a piece of fruit and a cookie.
Working at home, I eat whatever is here.
I cook 5 out of 7 dinners a week. Even fast food is getting too expensive with 2 older sons and a husband, usually for the 4 of us and fast food, we spend $25 to $30 per trip.
stuffed pumpkin
Anyone have a good recipe for stuffed pumpkin or anything that would go well with that type of menu? Stuck!
Thanks! I have one too for a pumpkin cheesecake.
I have tried many and this is the one my family begs me to bring for the holidays. It is the best! I use a little more cinnamon and nutmeg than recipe calls for.
INGREDIENTS:
2 8 oz. packages (16 oz. total) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup pumpkin purée
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
PREPARATION:
Combine cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, and spices; mix with a hand mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix until blended. Pour into graham cracker crust. Bake at 350° F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until set. Cool. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Serve with whipped topping.
This recipe is not over the top sweet so the whipped topping really compliments it perfectly.
You have to try it!
pumpkin muffins
Does anyone know how many points this is on WW?
Pumpkin disappoinment
...Know how you feel. I too got very excited and committed this year to doing an organic garden. I had my husband make me three raised beds, bought tons of organic soil, organic seeds for pumpkins, squashes, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, you name it. I first read all the how to books on organic gardening. Everything was coming up beautifully - thick green vines for the pumpkins. Then in a flash, everything kind of shirveled up, got weird looking, and I wanted to cry. Turns out after much research on the net I find I had a destructive bug that infected all the squashes and pumpkins with bacterial wilt. I tried to save everything, but looks like I will only have two to four pumpkins this first year. What did I learn? I neglected to look up all the things that could go wrong - infectious virus, animals, bugs, sudden hot temperature, all the stuff that was not in the books I had bought. Now I am better armed, and next year, I will be well prepared for what can go wrong. Oh, there is a book you can buy on Amazon.com called How to Grow Pumpkins, and that book has everything. Don't give up, keep trying for next year. I know what you mean about spending a fortune to buy pumpkins. I do the same thing each year and had hoped I could save myself some money.

Some halloween fun.

...instead as I had no cheese, though. Pumpkin it is! :) nm

another ... Puppy Pumpkin

Send me one of those. LOL I get pumpkin pie
only if I buy it. DH doesn't like it.
lol gotta have that pumpkin pie!
that's great that your niece is doing that. I'm sure everyone will tell her how perfect they are, even if they are terrible. lol My 10yo "made" the pies this year. I just supervised. I was quite surprised he wanted to help. He was hesitant on making the pie crust and kept wanting me to finish it for him but I stood ground and told him he couldn't possible mess it up and that I wouldn't have given him the option if I thought he would fail. He's very proud of the pies now that they are done. Even said he'd like to try the pumpkin this year! I dont' think he's ever had a bite of pumpkin before.
Pumpkin and apple pie
And my mother-in-law makes a cherry cream and chocolate cream pie to die for. We go to my parents every year and my mother does all of the baking.
Pumpkin pie and marionberry pie from a
country cafe a few miles away that smell fabulous and a vegan chocolate cake for me (may not sound good but is!
What did you have for breakfast?
This morning my 2 boyz came in off of third shift together @ 7 am(rare occasion) and wanted to know if I would consider helping them with breakfast. They made their suggesttion and I told them to go the the super WalMart and get the ingredients....Well, they're both young working men and can pick up the tab!
Shrimp gumbo (from scratch), crab cakes (frozen) and an extra bag of what appeared to be tiger shrimp on steroids! Yummy!
Just to see them yuckin' it up, pokin' each other, playin' in the kitchen really did my heart good.
Mind you, last night's dinner was boiled chicken backs, pinto beans with jowl meat, turnip greens and hot water cornbread ....So, don't be impressed by this morning's fare....It's very rare. Enjoy every moment you can with your kids  Cat
Breakfast
How about Belgian waffels with whip cream and fruit topping and an omlet bar? Nothing fancy, just some different veggies and meats with cheese. Set up a couple of pans and let the kids chose what they want. You can really prep all this in the evening and be ready for them when they return. Get paper plates and cups and have a great time. My son went to his prom and a few others over the years so we have done a couple of different things. If you have not been to one yet and are picking up the limo at another kid's house, ask what the situation will be. I went to drop off and take some pics one time and when I got there all of the adults were wearing formal wear and having a party. I, of course, had not even taken a shower that day. Apparently I was sent an e-mail about the event, but it went into my junk mail. I felt like a real rube, but it was still a fun event.
I don't eat breakfast - never have been able to
Ever since I was in grammar school I have never been able to eat breakfast. My parents always made me eat and I'd get sick. Now I get up at 8am, DH doesn't get up til 11AM (on different work schedules), so I don't eat anything. Around 11AM we have our "breakfast" - coffee and whatever it doesn't take me any time to make. I do like life cereal a lot, and sometimes we'll have a bagel or toast. Other times I take some frozen strawberries and blueberries and throw them in the blender with some water and we have a fruit drink. My sister tells me I'm boring and bland. HA HA
What do you eat for breakfast?
Do you change it up, or always eat the same thing?
Myself, for years and years and years... I eat a bowl of cheerios! Sometimes I run out and have to have a bagel with peanut butter or something.
But I still love cheerios after all this time :)
Maybe after a night out and not waking up until 11 or so, we will go eat a big restaurant breakfast of omelets/toast/hash browns, but that's like once a month.
Just curious cause I'm getting hungry and was wondering what everyone else does
Have a great Friday!!!!
Is this the breakfast one?
With eggs and sausage? My mom and sister make that one all the time for morning things. Kids especially love it.
No not the breakfast one. It is
1 bag of thawed hashbrowns (I use the cubed, my kids don't like the shredded hashbrowns)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 stick butter
salt and pepper
2 cups shredded cheese (I use sharp cheddar).
Crushed corn flakes
Melt butter, reserve about 1/4 cup. Mix everything together except corn flakes and reserved butter.
Spread crushed corn flakes over top, pour remaining butter over and back at 350 for 1 hour.
It is a great side dish, goes with anything.
Lunchables. Lunch box or not? (sm)
I put the grandkids on the bus in the mornings and they like to take lunchables, however they don't want to put them in their insulated lunch bags, just throw them in their back pack. They insist "everybody" does this. I am a worry wart when it comes to not keeping food properly refrigerated.
Am I being paranoid, is this safe?
re: lunch while typing
Just FYI....NEVER try to eat ramen noodles while you are typing!!! Not a pretty site...LOLOLOL...just a thought to lighten the load!!! hehehehe
And maybe one of them works during lunch.

lunch ideas
Does anyone have any ideas for quick lunches that are yummy? I live by myself and really do not cook a big meal that often so leftovers are usually out of the question although family members will bring me some goodies from time to time. What I really need are good lunch ideas for one person. I get so tired of eating soup and salads. Open for suggestions!! TIA
DH and I are w/my family for lunch
and his for dinner. I have ex-aunt that still gets invited to holiday get togethers since she was married to my uncle for so long and her kids and now a grandaughter will be with us. She and a real pain in the but. Even when it is not her house she tries to dominate everything. Where everyone should sit, when we should eat, the conversation somehow always revolves around her. She will ask you a question and even before you finsih answering she is off talking about something else. We basically just roll our eyes and try to avoid her. This year she wrote a letter to my mom asking her to move her Christmas Eve plans to a different time (have been doing the same thing for years) to make it easier on her. Not going to happen.
At DH's house his mother was in a really pissy mood when we first arrived. I like her most of the time, but lately I have found that I just tend to tolerate her. She and I have never had any problems but I think her getting older is starting to take its toll. She and I differ anyway. Every Thanksgiving it is the same, everyone that comes brings a couple of dishes but she also does some of the cooking. She doesn't clean up as she goes along, so the sink is always full of dirty dishes before dinner starts and I can guarantee you when we start to clean up we will find that the electric dishwaher ( I am the human one) is full of clean dishes. This year as soon as we got there she took a hot pot off the stove and put the food into a serving dish. I decided to go ahead and wash it. The pot was extremely hot so I turned on the cold water to cool it off just a bit before I washed it. She came to the sink and turned the hot water on. I politely said "I was just trying to cool if off a bit before I stuck my hands in it." "No, that is not the way I do it". I was stunned. I have been married to her son for over 20 years and I always wash the dishes. I don't mind that I certainly am going to do my part. But this year I said, "well if you want me to leave these for you to do, fine." I did help clean up after dinner but I did not put my hands in any dishwater. Besides they were still a bit pruned from cleaning up after lunch. LOL!
Btw, this is the same woman who gives me something that she collects every year for Christmas even though I and her daughter have very politely let her know this is not something I want. 
they can also pack their lunch

"I had lunch with a snowman
Cause Big Bird said he's my leader...too funny!
Lunch spending
My husband usually brings leftovers for lunch. I give my daughter $20 for lunch at school (to put in her lunch account), and that usually lasts a week. My other daughter is home by lunchtime and she eats what we have here at home. We spend about $100 a week on groceries. On the weekends we usually go out at least once, maybe twice for lunch and spend anywhere from $15-$25 depending on where we go. My oldest is a vegetarian so we actually save money because if we get takeout, she usually doesn't find anything that she wants to eat. When I was working outside the home I spent way to much on lunch every day, usually about $50 a week.

I just makde a pumpkin cheesecake SM
It's Paula Deen's recipe and I have to tell you guys, I HIGHLY recommend it! Yummmmmeeeeee ! 
Just Google Paula Deen pumpkin cheesecake and it will pop up
Same here. My 2 favorite things are pumpkin
pie and sweet potato casserole. Hubby can't stand the smell of either one in the kitchen! :(
I did the annual Libby pumpkin pie- sm
and something called pecan tassies.....kind of like minature pecan pies, in small muffin pan, about 1.25 inch or so in diamter, yummy. Did 2 batches this morning after I finished the pie. Now unfortunately back to work as we are going away Saturday and I need to finish up about 150 minutes of work staring at me.
Maybe look for a bed and breakfast place in that...
area. Chamber of Commerce might be able to help you.
try eating something for breakfast - even if just
toast - to get your metabolism going. Eat a bigger meal at lunch and a smaller meal at dinner. Do you find yourself eating more less-healthy foods than before? If you get hungry, drink 8 ounces of water before you eat to help fill you up. Eating more in the evening means you aren't getting a chance to work off those calories. Good luck.
Oh, forgot about breakfast here
I had some yogart and some fruit. I just do not know about these foods this person is talking about.
Mmmm...breakfast!
Bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast, orange juice, and coffee.
That reminds me--the treadmill is beckoning. ;-)
Christmas Breakfast
I make a big breakfast casserole (sausage/eggs/bread/cheese) and put it in the fridge the night before. I then pop it in the oven while the kids are opening gifts in the morning and we have that with some fruit or anything else we want...it's Christmas!

Maybe she is not eating breakfast before
going to church, but I don't understand why the teacher allows it to go on. Everyone should have at least 1 donut. I would talk to the teacher.
Breakfast Casserole
Does anyone have any good breakfast casserole recipes? We are having a potluck breakfast at church on Sunday and I'm looking for ideas. Thanks!

Better question to ask..... Do they get full at lunch? sm
My youngest who took those finally asked me 1 day to add a sandwich as those just did not fill her up. She is a very petite 8 year old who is very active. They are just not enough!! :)
I also watch while typing or at least try to eat lunch then
I read that the audience will slowly find out who all is in the accident. Like yesterday just about Nick, Sharon, and Jack. I know Cane, Katherine, Lauren, Paul, and the lady cop (can't remember her name). also Victoria (we already know this), JT, and I suppose Adrain. What about Amber? Not sure about her. I think I saw her with blood on her in a preview.
It is worth the wait, but you could go for lunch and not
xx
H went and talked the director at lunch.
She said she was just worried that she might be sick. She said dd would cry like the whole world caved in and then the next minute she would be happy and play as if she didn't have a care in the world. I don't really know what it is about.
I haven't taken my own medication for a few days and I guess it has brought out my paranoia. I have never been as bad off as my cousin but I do take antidepressants. Yeah, we live in a small town and people like to talk.
