Love them through their stomachs! It does sound like he made a wise thought out process to come to his choice. So do you have the three kids-College Boy, college girl, and the now junior in highschool? I thought you had 6 kids-or are there older ones than the college boy? Maybe I just read things wrong over the years.

DH loves it, and I love the soup broth I get from them. Easily, we'd get 7 meals plus leftovers from one-eat as is, deboned for hot dish (2 meals), deboned for chicken enchiladas or tacos (2 meals) , and then pot of soup (2 meals).If I could ever find a decently priced whole chicken make one more often, but when the rotisserie are under $7, and no work, hard to pass up.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-2178409882181785462021-09-14T10:48:28.031-05:002021-09-14T10:48:28.031-05:00I'm only aware of one Sonic in the metro, so h...I'm only aware of one Sonic in the metro, so have never had food there.

We all need time to just be. I really, really hate sloppy joes. Nightmare meal from my child hood, even having you write about it makes me cringe. Isn't that funny? Well to me anyway.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-51608726759858639312021-09-13T10:47:44.917-05:002021-09-13T10:47:44.917-05:00"Dial it in." Hehehe. I sort of did th..."Dial it in." Hehehe. I sort of did that all last week, with meals consisting of things like leftover pasta with some more sauce and cheese added, then popped in the oven, a chicken pot pie from Sunday's roast chicken dinner, and last night being grilled steaks, with me only opening a bag of quick sale salad. I DID make some great country fried steaks on Saturday, but served them with an envelope of instant mashed potatoes--now how did those get in my pantry? No matter, they are out now. <br />I am endeavoring to do better this week. I promised youngest I'd make risotto tonight, along with a pan of brownies. He made a tough decision to stay in the public h.s. rather than participating in dual enrollment at the c.c.--claimed that with an incomplete freshman year in person, and entire sophomore year remote (which was pathetic) he didn't feel confident in his ability to tackle college level work. I had to respect his choice, particularly the wisdom he used in arriving at it. That said, he is out the door around 6:30 a.m., and not back home until close to 4 p.m., so the days are long. As such, I've been favoring his choices for evening meals. <br />Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09871105973774159424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-80994395751456563082021-09-13T09:29:00.364-05:002021-09-13T09:29:00.364-05:00I am not sure if you can consider this "new&q...I am not sure if you can consider this "new" or just using what I have here. I had a box of brownie mix that I needed to get rid of (wanted something chocolate but not brownies) I had also found a bag of white chocolate chips in the freezer. I made cookies with the brownie mix and stirred in the white chocolate chips. It was a dangerous thing to try because it is way too quick and easy to have really tasty cookies.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-65763226941029712402021-09-13T09:09:05.585-05:002021-09-13T09:09:05.585-05:00The heat and humidity are back this week so no ove...The heat and humidity are back this week so no oven meals for us. We’re also getting haze from the wildfires this morning. I work late today so everyone is on their own but there’s plenty to choose from. I actually don’t have a game plan at all for the week. I kinda want to make chicken soup, even though it’s warm out. I’m also craving a Sam’s club rotisserie chicken so those go hand in hand. I have a corned beef brisket taking up space in the freezer that hubby picked up for 99 cents a pound but no potatoes or cabbage. Maybe sushi one night this week, only me and the kids will eat that though. I have a bag of meatballs too. I could do spaghetti or subs or the grape jelly and chili sauce recipe. There’s leftover taco meat in the freezer so I could do taco pasta or walking tacos. None of this sounds very inspiring but no one will starve. No new recipes for me this week. I’m too tired to be creative.

Except Nick, because Nick doesn't like things mixed together. (That's the standard - it's a rare meal we all eat). He makes himself something when he doesn't want to eat what's on the menu. But, 3/4 is good, so I'll take it!Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.com
