Sunday isn't the best day around here for posting dinner as it's cook's night off. I opened a tin of smoked oysters and counted out 16 crackers (2 grams of carbs per cracker) to have with them. I had a 4 ounce glass of milk with that (8 grams of carbs).

six larges bunches of mixed greens (mustards and turnips) yesterday with the turnips for dinner after church, smothered pork chops, cornbread, rice/gravy, candid yams, Dale's pineapple upside down cake. I will be freezing some of the greens for Thanksgiving.

Am trying a new technique (to me). Baking a half turkey and have brined the turkey first. Have brined chicken and pork chops before but wanted to try brining a turkey and see if it does as well as the chicken and pork chops. Decided to make dressing to go with the baked turkey, giblet gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and okra. That is the usual scaled down version of our Thanksgiving dinner but every day should be a celebration day of Thanksgiving.

Grilled chicken breast, brocolli casserole, rice, dill carrots, and pound cake for dessert.

I cooked a pot roast for the family last evening. I used my cast iron Dutch oven and filled up the area around the roast with potatoes, carrots and onions. I steamed some broccoli to go along with it. I do like vegetables. There was also a tossed salad from a bag. I always feel like I am cheating when I use those things, but I don't make a very good tossed salad otherwise. I can hold my own with potato salad or carrot/raisin salad though.

Sounds really delicious! What may I ask, is Red Velvet Cake?

Everyone will be here for supper so it is a PIG OUT SUPPER, which is: Baked Chicken, homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes,home made gravy, wild green salad, corn on cob, and some red velvet cake for dessert.

Garden Herb Marinated Pork Lion, Sweet Potatoes, and Tossed salad and pound cake for dessert. Cooked on Saturday for Sunday lunch.

Today since it is cool outside I made homemade Taco Soup with Mexican Cornbread for our Dinner tonight. It is the time of the year to start eating soups to warm us up and keep us warm.

Cooknig today for my Sunday Lunch. I made meatloaf, broccoli cheese rice, and vadalia onion with yellow squash. I also have a fall festival at church at 3:00 today. I amde homemade peanut clusters, potato salad to take to go with our grilled hamburger and hot dogs at the festival.

It appears my wife has been talking. My sister-in-law had me cook dinner for everyone here last night. I fixed a pork roast wih raisin sauce, sunshine carrots, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli.

Cooking Pork Roast in crock pot, Pickled beets, and green bean casserole. Will be yummy when all finished now. With have less sugar chocolate cake for dessert.

We will be gone for a couple of weeks down to visit family in California. We leave in the morning and will be dropping off some pumpkins to Kathryn in southern Oregon. She hasn't been on here for awhile now. But I raised some pumpkins for her as she doesn't have the space down there. I won't be cooking dinner here on Friday, but maybe I'll put together a meal down there in California and let my sister-in-law rest up a little. She is a great cook though and she may not want me messin' in her kitchen. LOL

Hubby cooked tonight. He made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, mac and cheese and those ole canned biscuits!! He went to all that trouble then popped a can of biscuits..the nerve of him!!

I made cabbage rolls and boiled potatoes. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and then it needs to simmer on the stove for about an hour. It was well worth the wait! Oh so delicious!!

We had baked chicken, mashed tators, broccoli, some hot rolls and for dessert, no sugar popsicles. I make my mashed potatoes with cauliflower. The young ones won't eat plain cauliflower but when mashed with a few small potatoes they don't mind them. They do watch me put them together too. Enjoy your evening. Sarah

Sunday is cook's night off, so I had a TV dinner. How's that for slumming? LOL

My wife has been visiting our former pastor and his wife for about a year and a half now just about every Friday. It requires about a 100 mile round trip for her every Friday. My daughter and my wife have shared the kitchen duty since we all moved in together 9 years ago. My daughter cooks dinner on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. My wife was given the responsibility for cooking dinner on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week. Since she started the visiting on Fridays though, I have been cooking dinner for her on those days. Actually, she has kind of gotten used to it and on the few Fridays that she didn't visit, she still expected me to do the cooking. But that's okay with me. For tonight's dinner I cooked a pork tenderloin roast and made a raisin sauce for a topping for it. I prepared a pan of scalloped potatoes, cooked a pot of carrots from the garden, and cooked a pot of beets also from the garden. We had enough tossed salad left over from last evening so I didn't prepare any more of that. I used a recipe called "Sunshine Carrots" from one of our cook books. After cooking the carrots, you drain them and then make a sauce using some orange juice, brown sugar, butter, a dab of salt and some ginger. It's pretty good stuff.

Hi'ya Randy, Tonight, I am cooking down red & black plums to make plum jelly. Last time I made it was over 4 years ago and it went FAST!! LOL! I sent a few jars to family, DH took a jar to work, the other guys there tried it and BAM! my shelves were empty pretty quickly.
