What's For Dinner?

[MissStacey 1]

Tonight was McDonalds. My stepson got a $5 gift card from his grandma- I rarely let him have McD's.

I knew I would feel like ####### if I ate it but I did it anyways.

So here goes...tonight we're having Creamed Spinach like my Momma taught me, eggs over-easy and turkey sausage.

Momma's Creamed Spinach

2 bunches of fresh spinach

5-6 garlic cloves

1 generous tablespoon of all purpose flour

oil (I usually use canola)

milk

salt and pepper to taste

Wash spinach, put in pot and add water to almost cover spinach. Bring spinach to boil, reduce heat to medium and boil until tender (3-5 minutes). Drain well and then chop (a wooden knive works best) spinach on a cutting board. Peel and finely chop garlic cloves. In a separate pot heat a little oil to medium high, add chopped garlic...wait 1/2 minute (do not let garlic brown) and add the flour then spinach, stirring all the while, next add the milk and keep stirring until you see that there is a creamy consistency to the spinach. Salt n pepper to taste.

Usually we had this w/ 2 eggs over easy and no meat....but my hubby's a meat eater, so I've browned a little turkey sausage to go along w/ it.

Yes, I first get the water boiling in some smoked turkey and let them cook for a while maybe 30 mins. I even add a few of the chicken knorr cubes for extra flavor. Cook the greens for another hour, add some vegetable oil, most will add only salt but I like to add some sugar to the greens also, let them cook until the smoke turkey comes off the bone. Then you have some good southern home cooked greens. I always make them for Christmas dinner and everyone just love them.

Thanks Forchika! I usually get them from the BBQ guy down the street. His wife makes some amazing collards, but I'm still trying to figure out the recipe. Hers have a bit of a bite to them so I've been able to determine that there are jalapenos in there because I've dissected them. We like the kick of the jalapenos so I'm going to incorporate that in my next attempt.

Isn't that weird? I always feel that way after eating McDonald's too. And so do a few other people I know. I wonder what it is? I honestly can't recall the last time I've eaten there. No wait.... yes I can. I stopped at one in PA on my drive to Canada last summer. I had a Happy Meal.... cause I was happy.

Im sure you all know what Cracker Candy is, if not heres the recipe...its always a hit and no one ever guesses its made of saltine crackers..

Cracker Candy

saltine crackers (38 to 44) depends on size of cookie sheet

2 sticks of butter (1 cup)

1/2 cup of sugar

1 12oz bag chocolate chips

preheat oven to 350...lay tin foil on cookie sheet...place crackers on cookie sheet ,enough to cover the entire sheet...boil sugar and butter together for 3 minutes...pour over crackers....put in oven for 10 minutes....pour bag of chocolate chips on crackers...as it melts spread chips over crackers...add nuts if desired...refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, break into pieces.

Our pizza and salad last night was really good. Tonight, hmm, not sure what to make. I'm thinking Veggie Burgers and home fries.

I totally miss CDN "Chinese" food.. it doesn't even LOOK the same to me..

I ordered spareribs the other night and they had a yuky red sauce on them.. I like me ribs with a chocolate brown colored sauce.. I'm a visual eater, so it was pretty hard for me to eat what didn't LOOK like spareribs to me.

[Marilyn. 340]

ok, I am made teriyaki chicken drumsticks and I am going to steam some rice soon... I might do some corn too....

[Emancipation 2]

We are having chili tonite.. I'll regret that decision when hubby comes to bed tonite I'm sure..

left over roast chicken, potatoes and carrots with a tossed salad - pretty tame but good food for a cold and windy night.
