We had burgers on the grill and I sautéed some onions to go on top.

She also said that you should use domino confectionery sugar because the store brands usually have more cornstarch in the mix.

Since I am only making 10 more meals I am using up my freezer selection. I have some filets (beef) and a pork tenderloin and some chicken sausages and some pork sausages and 2 pkgs. of chicken thighs. Tonight I am making tacos with my ground beef. I also have 2 meals of hamburgers. Please I don't want to add it all up because I'm afraid I can't finish it all. I can't wait to move and start buying food again. We currently live in Carroll Count,Md. and will be moving to Lititz,Pa near Lancaster. Shoefly Pie "here we come"!
I grilled boneless skinless marinated chicken thighs and served them with a cold orzo salad dressed with gazebo dressing, a little pesto, tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese.
I seem to have good luck with Chicago Tribune recipes. Last night I made the grilled pork tenderloin with hoisin-mint sauce. The recipe was serendipitous because I have hoisin sauce to use up and a bunch of mint in a pot on my deck. I didn't butterfly the pork but just sliced it lengthwise. I threw onion slices in a pan and sauteed with some peas and Penzey's stardust( which turned out to be a pleasant surprise). We are getting ready to move and I have to clean out my pantry and freezer of course so I will be playing "Chopped" in my kitchen once again.
The shrimp and cooked sausage skewers were delightful . A splash of lime juice over the skewers would have been the cherry on the sundae but alas I forgot it. Subsequently I found several recipes online for shrimp and sausage skewers. I think the shrimp and sausage make a nice combo.
I found a recipe in our local supermarket magazine for shrimp skewered around sausage pieces and grilled with a sweet chile sauce glaze. Will let you know how it comes out.
I went to the dollar store and picked up a box of brownie mix and two bags of York Peppermint Patties. I used a 9x9 pan and strategically placed the patties over half of the batter and then topped them with the rest of the batter. The patties did not melt as much as Andes mints would but the consensus was that they were very good. On another note I find it very difficult to determine when brownies are completely baked. The box said to stick a toothpick in 1" from the sides and see if it comes out clean. That wont work when you have candy sandwiched in between the layers. Sometimes I think it is just luck.
I marinated and grilled chicken breasts and made a salad with greens and my herbs including beautiful and tasty nasturtium flowers. I never had good luck in the past growing nasturtiums. This year I placed them in a large clay pot with basil and parsley and they all flourished!
Good to know! Now I will weigh my lemons.
I just made skillet chicken with sundried tomato sauce over Hana mozzarella pasta pillows. It was deeelicious. It was from "cremedelacrumb's blog.
One of my mother's most memorable recipes was her "American chop suey". My friends loved it, my husband loved it and I loved it until the day I made it and ate it when I was pregnant. That was it for me and now although I know it had ground beef , macaroni and tomato sauce I cannot for the life of me remember the rest and I don't think I want to.
My lids get rusty looking. Can you still use them?
I cut some chicken breasts into cubes, covered them with oil and a rub of several Penzeys spices and grilled them on skewers. It didn't take long for them to cook. I served them with potato salad that I made with bacon in it and I boiled some corn on the cob. Oh and I made a mango salsa to go with chicken. I should have watched the salt in the potato salad because the bacon is salty. I picked the corn with the smallest kernels. Big mistake. The kernels had no depth to them. All in all not too bad a dinner,
