I did tacos with mexican rice tonight - was wonderful! The rice took a LOT longer than i thought it would though... not sure what that was all about, but it worked out in the end. Tommorrow we're going up to canton to have dinner with the family - bratwurst and such

It was low key around here today, so I just did a simple pork roast with onions and sage, baked potatoes and red cabbage. Cake for dessert.

Thread Starter 
Yesterday we had ribs, mac n cheese, potato salad, (both homemade), and amy's veg baked beans. Oh and my mom made deviled eggs, too. It was really good. Actually we made it Thursday and had leftovers yesterday from it. Tonight I'm not sure yet. We are going to lunch at a Mexican restaurant depending on what time the kids nap that may be early or late so dinner will be very light if it's late.

Hmmm, well we are having left over rib tips for lunch and something with ground beef for dinner, lol.

Tomorrow is beef (well actually venison) stew & Tuesday will be grilled bbq chicken legs and thighs. We are having a clean out the freezer & pantry marathon due to the budget :-)

July 7th is a holiday here, the star crossed lovers day...
traditional menu is cold noodles (somen) and sweet river fish.
we don`t have the fish, so will serve a salad of poached chicken with cucumbers and herbs.

have fruit for dessert.

Since it's so hot and sticky today, I'm just going to serve some chilled snacky things: green salad, cucumber salad, artichoke hearts, pita bread and garlicky bean spread. Maybe some carrot sticks too.

I am sure a homemade ranch mix would be great probably even better.

Don't be embarrassed. We all have our dirty little secrets! Anyway, those sound too yummy for me to scruple about a little Hidden Valley mix. Thanks for the link!

Hi all! It's been a long time since I posted in these threads. I think I missed June entirely.

Lately I have been on a jambalaya kick. I have also made turkey & dressing & gravy (my mom gave me a turkey, woo hoo!). I recently made an old-fashioned American curry dish called country captain.

Tonight I'm making twice-baked potatoes.

Now I'm going back to read the whole thread.
