I found some leftover (3 mos.) frozen meatballs, an Italian sausage and a block of good parmesan cheese. So I sautéed onions and peppers with a little oil and added some vodka and a jar of marinara sauce. I then threw in the meatballs and sausage with some Italian spices and let it simmer a while. At the end I added a Tbls. of half & half and served with shredded parmesan. Lots of kudos came my way.
I just remembered this. About 5 yrs. ago (or maybe more) I was testing recipes for Cook's Illustrated. One of the recipes required a potato ricer so being the good little tester I went to Williams Sonoma and bought one. I don't remember what it cost nor do I remember ever using it again. I had to quit testing though because it became too expensive and time consuming.
I decided to mix things up so I found an old gourmet recipe that I had saved for chicken satay. The recipe called for “white vinegar so I used regular distilled white vinegar . When I tasted the peanut sauce it was too vinegary so I added more peanut butter. Well while stirring (over heat)I noticed the sauce separating and I tried to remove some of the oil. Not my best moment or meal.
Thanks BA. Loved Guppy’s!
Last meal I had to prepare (for at least 4days). Those burgers ? I made up ahead we’re the stars in this last supper. The freezer is officially empty. Now I can go food shopping again in a week is week or so. Yay!

I also love my grapefruit knife. It is perfect to slice out pineapple flesh and watermelon quarters. I use my scale to weigh and divide my stolen. When I get lazy and find my onions aren't chopped fine enough in my spaghetti sauce I use my scissors to cut them finer in the sauce. Ok I love gadgets!!!
The "fresh loaf" eggless banana bread recipe worked! I had to use a little coconut oil packet from TJ's to supplement oil and I had to supplement flour with bisquick and replace vanilla with maple syrup and bake it forever but it turned out beautifully!!
It's getting near the big day! I have 3 bananas, 1/2 c flour, oat flakes cereal,1/4 cup canola oil, 1/2 stick butter, I box of pumpkin cookie mix. Somehow I think baking a banana bread would present quite a challenge. Baking is not like cooking is it? you can't just throw things together and hope for the best. Maybe this should be a "Chopped" basket!
Having to empty freezer we had folks over for hors d’ouvres. Had left over smoked sausage. I sliced it and placed it in a pan with pickle juice and a little wine vinegar. Very tasty.
Isn’t Mike the cholatier?
Have to clean out freezer. I have some filets that I bought on sale (of course). They are grass fed. Hmnm...not as tasty as grain fed that’s for sure. So to use them up I’m slicing them in strips and stir frying with onions and peppers and serving with TJ’s cauliflower stir fry mix which is new to me. Six more meals in freezer and 8 days left.?
Ok pizza cutter,garlic press. Can opener,bench knife,mini food processor,pizza stone,ka bread whisk,herb cutter,mouli cheese grater,citrus squeezer,rasp,thermapen,Pizza peel,kitchen scissors....
I ended up flouring the steaks (cube) and briefly sauteeing in oil with onions. I threw the whole pan contents with celery and beef bouillon and spices into crockpot. It cooked on low for 5 hours. It was tasty and tender. My husband said it tasted like Salisbury steak.
I bought cube steaks on sale. I buy everything "on sale" and then ask myself what I'm going to do with the items. Any ideas?
