Tonight was BURGER night again!! But they were awesome!! I made my own beef patties as big as I could fit/shape in my hand, they were huge! (but a size safe enough for grilling) I cooked balsamic sweet onions on the side burner and bacon, melted goat cheese on the burger when they were done, put on a toasted bun with lettuce & tomato. Really good with the goat cheese and balsamic onions!! With it I had a garden salad and DH also had corn on the cob (also cooked on the BBQ)
Can't wait having BBQ'd burgers tomorrow night! Have been craving them for about 2 wks now! Tonight I made soft tacos(ground beef). They were good and fresh!Quote:

Ended up being creative casserole time. I sliced potatoes thinly, mixed with a bit of oil and assorted seasonings, put in bottom of 9X13 and let crust up. Flipped them over and added -
Sauteed the ground beef with onions, garlic, mushrooms and sauerkraut. Put this overtop of the potatoes.
Was worried it would be dry, so poured some milk over (? shoulda made a sauce maybe)
Used 3/4 of bag of cheese over top, covered and baked about 1/2 hour.
Uncovered, to let cheese brown.
Well, let me tell you it was magnifique! Tasted very different than what I would usually make because of the sauerkraut and swiss, cheddar, parm cheese mix, but it was a hit. :)
We had it with a huge-O salad full of whatever I could find - romaine, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, cucumber and carrots.
^ sounds yummy! Going to friends for dinner this evening so that will be a nice break from cooking - no doubt there will be tons of great food!
tv dinner
even though it's 30+ degrees outside and we don't have a/c I have a turkey in the oven. I pulled it out last week to cook for this week without thinking how hot it was going to be. on the up side, it smells heavenly in here. I put some potatoes in the crock pot with some reduced sodium chicken stock for mashed potatoes. i'll make corn and gravy later. oh, and stuffing in the turkey! cant forget the stuffing :)
Going to try the Butterball Turkey Burgers tonight. Got the box for $3 :)
On sale at Giant Tiger for $8 and used my $5 off coupon, I hope they are yummy!
Since it's "summer time" on the Wetcoast I am making hot and sour soup :P:P:P
Domino's Pizza (mushroom, half sausage, half ham)
It's hell hot here. I bought a rotisserie chicken and some potato salad at Costco last night (potato salad was $5 for a giant tub), so we're having leftovers of that tonight. DS wanted salmon, so I did cook that on the stovetop for him.
cut up a red, green, and orange pepper, and a bunch of broccoli, and then steamed it. mixed with my healthy lower-fat Alfredo, and tossed with fettuccine. I feel like we just had this, but it must have been three weeks ago.
Uncle Ben's Sweet and Sour Rice & Sauce :lolsign: Yes, I was very ambitious today.
I am making a caesar salad and going to have a potato with it. Orange Fanta is the drink of the night! Yahoo!!!
homemade pita pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and old cheese. It was supposed to have peppers on it too but no frills wanted 2.97/lb for peppers which is crazy! I miss having a garden. Next year for sure one is happening on my balcony!
going to be making turkey soup today so dh and the girls will have that for dinner tonight and probably some turkey sandwiches/wraps.
