I have wanted to try the Pioneer Woman's Pot Roast and potatoes and Pineapple upside down cake for awhile. So today I am making it all. It already smells so good.
What's for dinner at your house today?

Last night we had a roast chicken and I threw together an awesome salad:
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 cup corn
chopped tomatoes
chopped pineapple
1 avocado chopped
1/4 c. cilantro
Whisk together:
1/4 c. orange juice
juice of half a lime
ancho chili powder
chopped garlic
a splash of vinegar
a drizzle of olive oil
It was sooooo good.

Haha Tina! No, he's still with us. He's been pretty goos. Ezcept the other day my hubby was out working on the tiller and Jimmy flew at him out of the blue. Tiny started kicking him and throwing things at him. He's been good ever since. He doesn'r bother me at all. And hasn't gone near Kansas anymore either. Tiny thought that was funny though. I thought he'd be mad. And I told him about Jimmy going after Kansas too. He just said he was chased by a roo when he was a kid. So I guess that's just part of farm life.
That recipe in the Pioneer Woman's cookboof for Marlboro Man's favorite sandwich looks really good. I need to make some good bread and try it. You could stir fry it too I guess.
Sharon, I don't know about fish tacos. What is it? Can you post the recipe?

Kris,
I thought you were having chicken this Sunday? Has he been behaving or was he just too tough? lol

Hey Kristin,
what else do you do with your home grown cube steak? I only ever seem to make chicken fryed steak and swiss steak. I could use some other ideas, do any of you Gal's have suggestions?
thank you!

Jonni, it was so good. The meat was so tender. Everyone liked it. My daughter took some home with her. Your dinner sounds good. I love country froied steak with lots of gravy and mashed potatoes. But ya can't go wrong with sweet potatoes with all the good stuff on them. Yum.
Lainey, any kind of soup is good.

How was the potroast, Kris? I cleaned all day and ran some much needed errands so there was very little thought given to Sunday dinner (and with a dh who snacked all day and is the size of a beanpole, I knew better than to "commit" to anything huge)...so I sortof winged and would you believe he asked me to make the same thing again tonight? I'm not going to, but....
We made a simplified version of the Pioneer Woman's countryfried steak: I just seasoned the cubesteaks really well with a good seasoned salt, then floured them and cooked them in butter. Steamed asparagus with fresh squeezed lemon, kosher salt and cracked pepper and mashed sweet potatoes (with butter, cinnamon and a little brown sugar).

Kristen, that soup was from a jar but had fresh ingredients. I didn't eat it though. My husband ended up having a tuna steak with the spinach salad and I had homemade nachos. I couldn't eat too much of it but they were good!

Nan, it sounds like you and your family had a wonderful day together. Don't you just love times like that? We had a good day too.
Brenda, I think leg of lamb is my favorite. I have one in the freezer and I keep thinking I'll cook it so I think I'll do it in April. A frien of mine makes a really good one. It's so tender and even good several days later.

Hubby got a leg of lamb yesterday for a great price, so I talked him into cooking it on the grill. He does it perfectly if a bit slow, lol! It wasn't ready until about 8:00 last night so I just had a little bit...
Today though I wrapped it in foil and heated it in a warm oven, and cooked cheesy potaoes from scratch plus fresh asparagus, yum!
Everyone else's meals sound so good too! I'm going to have to check out the Pioneer Woman's cookbook!

Oh Teresa! Ya just can't beat a fried chicken dinner. Yummmm. I want to do that next time everyone's here again.
Candy, I have a hubby just like that. Has to have a piece of bread in his hand or he can't eat. Silly men. Your dinner sounds good and very healthy!

Today we were blessed to have our Palm Sunday family dinner. Since our son and wife will be out of town next week, we had it today because the son and daughterinlaw are borrowing the motorhome to go to Michigan for Easter. We had ham, potato salad, green beans, home made yeast rolls with apple butter and coconut cake for desert. All yummy indeed. After dinner the men folk went outside to prep the motorhome for the upcoming trip and the grandaughters, daughterinlaw and I raided the fabric and ribbon boxes and mad super girl capes of gold, red and black and braided crowns with spangles. All beautiful indeed. My sweet girls were gorgeous super heros. After a bit the fourteen year old grandson got bored with the motorhome stuff and attacked his younger sisters with a barage of pine cones. The girls of course were ready for an attack with their garbage can lid shields and so were kept fairly safe from the onslaught. What fun and the giggles are still ringing in my heart. Then we all came in for homemade hot cocoa. A full day of family love. Thank you God for these blessings.
keep searchin'-it's out there somewhere. |

Going a little lighter today since we had Mexican out yesterday. Baked fish, rice and broccoli. And of course, DH CANNOT eat without some type of bread!! LOL!!
Poor me, guess I'm going to have to sacrifice and get Pioneer Woman's cookbook. (NOT!!) LOL!!

Ya'll have got to try that pot roast. It is too good. And I used my own grass fed beef. And the cake was yummy! And so pretty on the cake plate. I hated to cut it. It took over an hour to finally get it done all the way through. It called for only 30-40 minutes. But it was good and pretty.
Sounds like everyone's eating good today!

Everyone's meals sound great. We are just having Chili, Homemade Cornbread with Pear & Cranberry Crisp for dessert :) I know it seems like a heavier meal, but we need to use up what's in the freezer :)

I would love to go fly fishing. It looks so peaceful. And the rivers are just beautiful. And I love trout too. I hope he has a great time and brings you home some fish at least.
I just checked on the cake. It's still jiggly in the middle but the top's brown. So I put some tin foil on the top and will cook it a little longer. It calls for a 12" cast iron pan. I thought that's what mine was. It's already spilled over onto the bottom of the oven. I hate when that happens. I always forget and next time I use the oven I get a house full of smoke.
Lainey, that sounds like a good supper. I love spinach salads. I hope to be having some soon. My spinach is taking it's sweet time though. Do you make your own soup?

Well the midday meal was not so fancy (or healthy either). We had a whopper, jr. and split an order of fries. Now for supper we are going to have something much better. Hubby said he'd like a nice spinach salad and I'm thinking some creamy tomato soup sounds nice with some sort of meat. Probably roasted chicken.

Kristin - he is trout fishing, he is a fly-fisherman so does catch-and-release only. Oddly, for such a big fishing fan he does not like to eat fish, so it works out. I am going to probably sell 2-3 dozen eggs per week to co-workers, should cover the cost of feed.
Other than that I just search for egg recipes:)
