What are you Cooking the Week of January 22, 2023?

I made meatballs (not Italian style) and had it with rice and broccoli.

On the mid day news they said the country's largest egg producer profits are up 600%. So it seems that the big increase in prices isn't all due to bird flu, etc. It looks like they took a page from the oil companies playbook.

Profits being up by some percentage doesn't tell you much unless you know the pattern of profits over time. Could a year ago have been way down due to the destruction of flocks caused by bird flu?

Today I made a pot of venison chili.

Dinner was pizza: my homemade salsa, hot Italian sausage, mushrooms, black olives, green peppers, onions, cheddar and mozzarella! Really good.

We had spaghetti for supper.

We had chargrilled chicken breast, rice and steamed cabbage.

There's snow on the ground and more in the air, so I'm making a little soup. I saved most of the bones from a few weeks ago I roasted a chicken. I'm making a broth from it now, with celery, carrot, onion, garlic, peppercorns and a bay leaf.

I think we're going to miss the storm that's coming through Nebraska, looks like it went north of us again.

Tonight we had taco salad for a nice change.

We're having tomato soup and fried cheese sandwiches. We were going to have it a couple of days ago but we were out of cans of tomato soup, and I've never found a recipe that I like for making tomato soup from scratch.

Breakfast for dinner tonight: sausages, blueberry pancakes, and maple syrup.

I actually made tomato soup for lunches on Thursday. I used a 28 oz. can pureed tomatoes, along with broth and evaporated milk. I can post the recipe, Mike, if you are interested

I made mashed potatoes this evening to go with the leftover turkey and gravy, and we also microwaved more of our frozen green beans from the freezer.

Over the last few days, we have had a total of about 6 inches of snow, and it is cold enough for it to stay. We are sitting snugly at home and are glad not to have to drive in it or on the liberally salted roads.

[Mike Nolan]

Sure, I'd like to see the recipe.

We got a sprinkling of snow, but the temperature fell through the floor, it was 8 degrees when we were coming home from the theatre tonight. (We went to see "On Your Feet", the Gloria Estefan musical.) The forecasted high for Sunday is 11. Good day to stay home, bake some cookies, and watch the NFL playoffs.

I like Ina Garten's recipe from her cookbook, Foolproof. It uses a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes. Her recipe calls for orzo and saffron, neither of which I use. It also calls for a tablespoon of kosher salt - since I use Morton's, I use 2 teaspoons. I also add 1 teaspoon sugar to cut the acidity and 2 teaspoons of Italian Herb mix (Penzey's) in place of the saffron.

I posted the recipe, Mike.
