Roast beef, taties, veggies and gravy.
tonight we'll be doing fresh cod. At Metro I used my AM to score a huge slab. Some I am cutting into chunks to batter ( tempura style ) and deep fry, what's left I may just lightly pan fry. We're doing the Mexican spicy corn on the cob on the BBQ as a side ( Metro reduced rack $2.00 for 9 medium cobs all peeled! ), and having ( GASP! ) Betty Crocker instant mashed. That 10 lb. bag of $1.00 potatoes I bought from WM has about 8 left but they require peeling and who wants to do that? ha ha
Dessert? OMG, against my best instincts I bought a Metro cake. Cheesecake with a ton of fresh fruit on top. It was " on sale " which we all know is a joke, but I decided $23.00 was worth it for the 3 of us to share some and then take some down to DS#1 on Saturday!
It looks like this one.

A large baking tray in the oven with sliced smoked sausages from Costco, zucchini ($0.88/lb from H&W produce), and onions. We'll have some leftover steamed rice to go with the roasted stuffs.
A pot of smoked sausage, rice, pinto beans and tomatoes-hopefully it tastes good.
DH and I shared a silly Metro hot meal combo from Metro this afternoon. I participated in the redeem promo that ends Monday, earned 30 AM for using 95 AM for the wings and wedges, we ate some of them in the parking lot before getting over to FB. Yummo! Now I've no interest in making dinner. Maybe later.
Last night was a cauli crumble and sweet potato burrito with a side of mini cucumber and tomato salad with a balsamic dressing. Easy, delicious and used up some odds and ends :top:
BLSL chicken breasts with asparagus/mushrooms and tater tots/sweet potato fries if desired.
Was suppose to be Steak on BBQ but I have a chill and not feeling like bbqing. Hopefully someone else can bbq tomorrow night :)
Sunday's dinner was a joint effort. I tenderized the 3 steaks and prepped the asparagus. I peeled and cut the veggies for DH favourite Beef barley soup.
He roasted some carrots in the oven, pan fried red pepper strips, onions and mushrooms to go on the steak. We wanted Pot Stickers for our dinner carb.
The soup was made for their work meals this week. I BBQ'd the steaks and he pan-fried/then steamed the Pot stickers as well as the asparagus.
Way too much steak, so DH put DS's aside, then made up 2 full work meals with steak and the leftover sides.
He's really starting to appreciate the simplicity of making more than enough of something once, then having the leftovers for their work meals.
This will all be second nature to both guys when I'll be bedridden after surgery. However, I do fret over what my kitchen will look like once I'm eventually
able climb stairs. :yikes:ha ha
We had a late lunch around 4:00 so it was considered lunch and dinner. I made loaded hoagie sandwiches. Guac, romaine, pickles, hot peppers for Dh, homemade ranch, seared sweet chilli tofu strips, and homemade ranch dressing. Dessert was a slice of banana bread.
Probably Indian takeout as I am off on holiday tomorrow.
our plan is to have leftover ham and cheese sandwiches but my hubby reminded me that today is thursday and kids eat free at iHop. We're going to let our kids decide LOL
the only other restaurant chain that I know offer free kid's meal for kid when you purchase an adult meal is Denny's on tuesdays. Do you know of other restaurants in Canada that offer similar deal?
I spread ricotta cheese over 4 squares of soft naan bread and topped with sliced mango! A strong coffee as an accompaniment. Mmmm
Veggie stir fry over couscous
Masala Mac and cheese. Mmmmmmmmmmmm:P
The guys will BBQ up some of the Belmont Burgers from GT for themselves later tonight. I'm just not a true burger girl unless I make my own. These ones seem disgusting to me with CHEESE inside them....hurl. ha ha There's plenty of options to choose from in the fridge, I might just make myself a dinner salad?
make a broth with the ham bone from last week then i'm going to use the broth for a chickpea and bell peppers soup. Bell peppers are currently on sale for $1.44/lb and I have 1/2 a bag of dry chickpea.
honey dew melon is also on sale this week $2.44/each
This morning I made a soup! Started with sautéing onions and celery leaves in the large pressure cooking pot with plenty of the ribs diced up.
Oven roasted flat slices of both carrot and sweet potato, sauteed a full package of the Marc Angelo pork Souvlaki meat in the cast iron pan adding
red wine to deglaze, added the meat, the roasted veggies along with 3 cartons of beef broth into the large pot. Added 1 package of Uncle Bens Ready
Rice ( the one with Cilantro and lime ) for a bit more carbs. Whisked in a full cup of plain Greek yogurt. Mmmm, simmer and enjoy!
the stars aligned lately
bought some sale PC frozen puff pastry $1.50 and breakfast sausages 900g pack for $5.05. Already cooked the sausages. Going to make breakfast puff pastry later today with those 2 ingredients and the shredded cooked ham & provolone leftover.
Cooked up 2 burger patties and 3lbs of lean beef into taco meat. The kid should be happy and full for a day or so....
conversation in the vehicle after picking up the large PC Express order.
DS: are you guys hungry? DH: I could eat.....ME: no I'm good and there's still roast beef at home that I cooked up.
DS: could we swing by Popeye's? DH: pulls a U-turn, No problem!
Once at home DH sets out 3 dinner plates at the dining room table....DS says Mom, what would you like to drink?
Grrrr....I was tricked into joining them, but tbh my gawd were the 2 wings I had ever delicious! Dipped in Honey Mustard sauce.
A handful of their seasoned fries and we'll call that my dinner. Bottle of water to wash it all down with.
I'll try to eat healthier tomorrow.
Dh made masala Mac and cheese with garlic buns ( using the last of the hamburger buns
I finally got around to making a large deep casserole of lasagna so I could portion out individual servings to freeze. ( for me to have during my recovery after surgery. ) I put 6 of them in the basement freezer, the rest the guys can fight over....there was lots left.
As usual there was excess meat sauce, so later this afternoon I plan to make a double batch of Stanley Tucci's Pastina Classica dish.
I'll fold in that meat mixture, maybe add some lightly sauteed green onions to it. Might freeze a few portions of that too.
The Stanley Tucci pasta mixture is done and I also tossed in almost an entire head of broccoli. I used just the crowns chopped up small. This is going to go far!
I'll start portioning and freezing in a couple of hours.
we're going to Costco for dinner.
we've found the "slow" time at Costco is after dinner on a weekday, so we're gonna do a bit of shopping then head to the food court
Yesterday's lunch was later and larger so that was also dinner. So I used up the remaining hot dog buns and made bbq tofu sandwiches loaded with pickles, hot peppers, cheeze, guacamole and lettuce. Sooooo good I’m actually craving it and it’s only 10:30am :lol:
Does anyone know how to make fully cooked sausage ring more soft in pasta? I have tried cutting up the sausage into round discs, pan fried them with bell peppers, then add tomato sauce and seasoning for a pasta dish. Every time, the cooked sausage were harder and a bit tough to chew.

another dish that I make with the sausage is pan fried the discs with onions then add boiled perogies
