well, @SassyAshley , I did not get as lucky with any ground beef deal this morning but needed just 1 family sized pack for a big pasta I want to make tonight.
Plus when you just go to the one store, intending to get in and out, well that was on me.
I paid $10.96 per kg for the package of lean gr. beef. ( why didn't they just make it $11.00?? )
the cooking will be done much later tonight, probably after midnight before I start it.
The container of corned beef hash I made last night will be my dinner. DS recently enjoyed a huge bowl of cut watermelon so he'll probably not eat anything till morning...ha ha
I had an appointment this afternoon and had to run one errand some how it took a lot longer than I expected so needed something I could throw together quickly once I got home we had:
Chicken Enchiladas with Homemade Enchilada Sauce, Shredded Chicken, Mushrooms, Peppers & Cheddar
Lightly marinated pork steaks. Oven baked, rice, steamed veggies, and unsweetened apple sauce.
We’re currently having our second thunder storm of the day.
Tonight we are going to make Pasta with Meat Sauce to use up the last of the Ground Beef I got earlier in the week. Not sure if we will make anything to go on the side maybe a salad, we will see
Today was smokies, Perogies, and mixed veggies. Ds’ request.
Looks like this might be the last day we can use our oven for a little bit (hot weather heading our way) we decided on Homemade Pizza with the usual suspects:
Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Onions, Bacon, Cheddar and some Parmesan
Also might make a Caesar Salad, I have some lettuce to use up
Tonight is simple. A couple of steaks on the BBQ with a Caesar salad to go with it.
Last night I indulged in a bowl of broad egg noodles topped with Swedish meatballs that had simmered in 3 different bottled sauces for a couple of hours. I only needed about 5 of the meatballs to round out my serving. Really hit the spot.
Keeping it simple since I am alone tonight: 2 salmons poke bowl loaded with veggies and kami sauce from IGA because they are in the flyer for 9,99$ +taxes...cannot believe regular price is 5$ more....grrr
But I readed they will be an increase at sushis shop because MTV the owner of this banner increased the price for new hired employes and the payday of the employe too
Seems everything increase in grocery ....
Tonight I am going to try Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken with Air Fryer Veggies and some sort of potatoes on the side, not sure how I will cook the potatoes yet.
We are invited to my brothers-so not sure yet.
Marinated skinless chicken pieces, with leftover rice, perogies, roast carrots, carrot sticks, cucumber slices.
We’ll have leftover chicken with a has brown casserole and steamed California mixed veggies for supper tomorrow.
Change in plans, I fell asleep on the couch and wasn't very hungry when I woke so instead we had some leftover Pasta with Meat Sauce so we had that with some Garlic Bread
Homemade wonton soup; well I used store bought wonton wrappers, I made my own broth and filling for the wonton.
Tonight will be Lemon Pepper Air Fryer Chicken with Mixed Air Fryer Veggies, I have a bunch of Veggies to use up so I will create my own mix and will add some herbs and spices. Also thinking of Potatoes on the side, I have some to use up, I am thinking of just making boiled potatoes with some Butter and Herbs.
Vegan 'Meaty Beany Chili' and cornbread muffins, both from the Isa Does It cookbook (highly recommend). I used fresh jalapeños from my garden.
Pan-fried two bison burgers in 1 tbsp of herbes de Provence & 1 tbsp smoked paprika. Added some leftover rice, canned diced tomatoes (about 4 tbsp of tomatoes and 3 of the liquid) and 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies after turning patties over for the second sides to cook.
Had a cold can of pear-peach La Croix sparkling water and freeze pop for dessert. That was the last of the PC Black Label smoked paprika! Best spice ever...
I was out of town for work yesterday (just a day trip) when I got home we had BBQ Chicken Caesar Wraps with Homemade Fries in the Air Fryer
Tonight is still a mystery
I've pulled 2 items from the freezer to thaw. A tray of homemade sweet potato/ricotta cannelloni and a tray of skbn chx thighs.
The cannelloni just need to sauced and baked, but the thighs will be sliced, threaded onto skewers, grilled and then served with a peanut sauce. ( Chicken Satay )
Garden salad as a side.
I took out porkchops for the kids (trying to use stuff up) and will make green beans and ceaser salad to go with it.
We nixed making a salad, which would have been too filling for the one meal. As it was I could only manage a single cannelloni because the satay and the peanut sauce were so darn delicious.

Last night we kept it simple with Bacon & Tomato Sandwiches, nothing screams summer like Bacon & Tomato Sandwich for dinner, they were a staple growing up.
I had some leftover Potatoes in the fridge I tossed into the Air Fryer to Crisp them up and they came out as perfect Hash Browns
Last night we took out homemade burgers and were going to make homemade Fries in the Air Fryer but Mom was not hungry so I had French Toast instead.
Now tonight will be Homemade Burgers with Homemade Fries in the Air Fryer and thinking a Cucumber Salad as I am out of lettuce and highly doubt I will find the time to run the store today.
Happy Friday everyone! Yesterday it was so cool I cooked a roast, so there's leftovers for today & gravy, etc so will turn it into hot sandwiches and fries in the air fryer, etc
I made a rich stew Wednesday afternoon ( blade steak and meat from beef ribs ) , added the usual carrot, onion. a few diced spuds and thick sliced cremini mushrooms and the shrooms stayed medium/firm even after their time in the pressure cooker. Stew was served over Basmati rice.
The last of the stew is today's lunch, then a big salad for dinner.
I'm thawing a bag of 1" thick basa steaks for Saturday. They'll be in foil on the BBQ. Sides will be roasted veg. Sweet potato, bell pepper, zucchini and carrots.
I am attempting a homemade chicken tikka masala-will serve it with naan or rice.
The stew didn't stretch quite as far as we'd liked, so I made up 20 pork/veg spring rolls. I was so happy to find a package of the wrappers in the frozen section at NF last week with just 20 in it. Used to be they only had the 50 pack....too many for me to make and roll at one time.
