Sounds like you had your Thanksgiving dinner early WOB. Of course it is so yummy always good to have extra meals just like that!

Greek salad, leftovers from last night-and fresh raspberries with custard-yum.

@lizzie bargain It sure felt like a Thanksgiving feast! The guys took a serving of it in for their work meal the next day so it went fast.
Today I made TWO things. The first was a Tamale Casserole. The bottom mixture was chili based ( meaty, beans and cheesy! ) with a
cornmeal batter topping with corn niblets in it.
Also simmered a homemade pot of Chx soup so I could make a batch of cornmeal dumplings. The idea was to make a dent in my stockpile
of cornmeal. It helped a bit but these 2 recipes only used about one cup. If my guys would eat Polenta I'd make that but they're not fans of it.

I made lovely fall of the bone back ribs today (only paid 9.00 for them awhile back)
Then made cut up fries in the air fryer and carrots .So yummy .

Last night was burger bowls.

Tonight a roasted chicken with mashed potatoes, coleslaw and green beans. (not a typical summer Friday meal but what we have )

Skillet dinner of hamburger, onion, rice and peas-used to make this all the time when I was younger. Very tasty!

Made a tomato sauce with fresh garlic and tomatoes.
Making pasta for whoever wants it on pasta. I am thinking I will have it with leftover chicken....
Will make DS a dinner container for tomorrow night and then the leftover sauce will be put in the freezer for another day.

I inquired while shopping at Metro this a.m. about the beef short ribs on sale. Was it possible to get them with no bones?
The butcher said he'd have to remove the meat off the bones. I'm looking for 4 servings, each one about to 2 " high x 2" across,
similar to a round filet mignon steak when they wrap bacon around them.
Their meat order wasn't arriving until this afternoon, so I'm to phone early Tuesday and if I am o.k. with the price he sets I'll place
the order. Will be for a fancy special dinner I'm planning. I hope freezing these short ribs isn't an issue, maybe I'll check if they were
previously frozen.

I have been buying a very large French loaf freshly made sub at Sobeys for $13.99. It serves about 5 and I had a piece for both lunch and supper. Simple and had all the food groups.
Can't beat under $3 per serving.

Just cannot stop building lasagna! Used 12 oven ready lasagna pieces, 3 layers high, had no spinach or zucchini,
so sprinkled lots of diced green onion tops, chopped celery leaves and oodles of sliced mushrooms in each layer.
Sauteed lean ground beef, pork, diced onions, grated garlic and deglazed it with red wine! Used fresh grated Mozz
and Parmesan, cheated with jarred sauce. Sadly this pan won't last us long.

Happened upon a homemade manicotti recipe with a twist! Mexican Manicotti!
The best part is I have ALL the stuff already here to make it. Very simple to make
for the guys on Wednesday since they are off work today.

[lizzie bargain]

Egg salad sandwiches and cauliflower soup.

Manicotti disappeared so I made a lovely beef stew this morning.
Seared 2 large T-bone steaks, pressure cooked them, adding chunky style carrots,
spuds, red pepper, mushrooms and lots of sliced onions and celery ( with the leaves) .
Thinking a small Caesar on the side. Dinner will be served much later, sleeping guys
dictate the hour.

Mac and cheese, leftover corn on the cob and an 11 cent yogurt from Flash food.
