Thanks for the recipe Marilyn! I'll try those the next time I do a roast beef. My husband LOVES tacos. He could eat them for lunch and dinner every day for DAYS! I love tacos too but not that much!

[Marilyn. 340]

that recipe is really quite simple.. I had never made Yorkshire puddings before because I was scared it was to complicated with the oil and what not...

I have decided on making tacos but i am just going to make do with what I have.. I do have a small can of salsa, I have cheese and onion and ground beef, and some corn tortillas...

hubby won't care.. he would be happy if I just fried up the ground beef and served it with bread

I've saved the recipe too, Marilyn - I used to make Popovers quite regularly - they really are good!

Tonight I am splurging! Aldi's had bacon-wrapped beef fillet's on sale so I picked up two and we'll have baked potatoes, spinach and cucumber/tomato salad to go with it, with the cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden. Watermelon for dessert - also from the garden.

I also have some honey wheat bread in the breadmaker too - made some caraway rye yesterday and there is only one piece left now, VBG!

A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake, is a sweet breakfast dish similar to Yorkshire pudding and derived from the German Apfelpfannkuchen. It is made with eggs, flour and milk, and usually seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon, although occasionally sugar is also added. It is baked in a metal pan and falls soon after being removed from the oven. It is generally served with fresh squeezed lemon, butter, and powdered sugar or fruit toppings or syrup.

It is thought by some that the "Dutch" moniker refers to the group of German-American immigrants known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, where "Dutch" is a corruption of the German autonym "deutsch".

OH YES!!!! I remember having this at a friends house many years ago...and omg was it good. She made it with a lemon drizzle. Methinks I will have to get the stuff for that this week as well as other good recipes I've seen floating around here too. Thank the gods that this weekend is our major supermarket trip.

Tonight Joel cooked. Baked chicken breast in cream of celery sauce, rice, creamed corn, and watermelon. I can either take this for lunch tomorrow or have the salad bar at school...which we are all SOOOO excited about! A real salad bar! 'Bout time! Teachers pay $2.50 for their lunches and this will be the price of the salad bar as well. Hehehe...I'm so happy!

Last night we had lime chicken and a potato/onion/tomato/zuchinni/yellow squash layered casserole and garlic bread. Tonight we'll have leftover mostacolli and garlic bread and a garden salad.

Yum. That sounds good, Carla. So do those popovers. My husband worked late last night so there was no prepared meal, per se..... just some soup and/or chicken strips. Tonight I will make something..... I'm thinking spaghetti with clams. The pasta was so fabulous in Italy that I have a craving for it. Even brought some back with me.... in my carry-on because they're so precious. lol. Found a wonderful little deli and pasta shop by the Trevi Fountain, in Rome, and my daughter and I went wild. Also brought back a couple of cookbooks from Florence. I cooking.

All this talk of Yorkshire pudding reminded me of a recipe I saw not that long ago (or maybe i made it up in my head, hard to say) - ie: making a larger YP and serving the stew in the middle of it. Hmm, I could do that and I might!

Oh and I realllyyyyy dislike the packaged bread here - even when you just open the bag it has that sugary whatever smell - it's just pretty darn awful and always sweet!!

I do like the french bread we get at the Albertson's bakery though, it's 'normal'. When we get a house i'm absolutely buying a bread maker.

Stew in YP sounds yummy! But not in the summer. Something that I'll try and remember when it's cooler. It DOES sound delicious.

Joel fired up the grill tonight...decided to try a chuck roast on the grill, marinated all day. Dunno how this is gonna turn out but it's worth a shot. That and corn on the cob on the grill too. :0)

I am making smothered chicken in the crock pot.. basically just cooking the chicken in mushroom soup....

[Krikit 1,164]

Yum. Sliced meats in gravy or guinness stew in a yorkshire pud is all the rage in pubs in England and Ontario. I've had them on both continents.

I've just come in from grocery shopping. It's raining here so I think I'm going to make either a crabmeat soup or a potato and bacon soup.... with buttermilk biscuits.... for dinner. So, with that, I'm off to pour a glass of wine and get cooking.

Ciao!

The secret to finding decent tasting bread is to read the label. All of that 'sweetness' comes from adding the HFCS. Check to make sure that HFCS or sugar or molasses or some other sweetner isn't listed in the first ingredients - it should only be listed near the end of the ingredients as the starter for the yeast.

We had barbequed beef with pasta in a cheese sauce, fresh green garlic beans (from the garden) and cherry tomatoes (from the garden). More watermelon for dessert.
