Jenny I agree I don't think I would care for mixing chicken and beef.
Last nights Ziploc/tidbit soup came out better than I could of ever expected. It was a beef base and it had cut up steak, roast, taco & burrito ground beef, wild mushrooms, corn, zucchini, garlic, onion, potatoes and carrots from the roast, and more. It was wonderful and my family and parents just raved. It’s amazing how good it all tastes when you put it together, I didn’t add any herbs, salt or anything to it because I figured I did all that the first time I cooked it and it came out GREAT!
When I feel spring coming I have to plant or I’ll go crazy! |

Supper was soo yummy tonight. I either cook up a storm, or very little, I love to cook once and eat three or four times! But tonight, my hubby was sick along with my kids so instead of the turkey dinner I had planned and cooking in the crock pot, I made Chicken soup. Half a bag of wide egg noodles( I sure need to learn make my own, maybe Grandma will teach me!) 2 cups of the broth from the pot, a cup of celery 2 cups of carrots, a cup and half of left over corn and a cup of broccoli, to make it healthy I tossed in some garlic and grated some ginger root into the pot too. It was good that everyone ate and enjoyed supper tonight.

| Must be a good soup night. Here: Tortellini vegetable soup and homemade croutons. Probably everyone here makes a version of veggie soup. Mine: Saute onions and garlic; stir in herbs (basil, oregano, thyme) then add chopped celery and carrots. Add chicken stock or broth; add some tomatoes (actually, I used some Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper Tomato soup that I had left); bring to simmer; add dried Barilla tortellini; simmer till tortellini is done. Croutons: heat melted butter and olive oil in a broad fry pan, stir in cubes of a good, day-old, crusty Italian bread; cook on top of stove until beginning to golden; then spread onto a baking sheet, sprinkle with grated parmesan and put in oven for 12 or so minutes at 350. Oh, what a good combo! In the winter, I often throw in a frozen cube of pesto for full, hearty flavor. |

Hooray! I can tell my husband that I am not the only one that likes to cook a lot at once and eat the leftovers different ways. The poor guy, his mother would cook say 2lasagnas on monday and then the family would eat lasagna for 2 weeks in a row! At least I am fortunate that he never says to me, "oh my mom made that better"
Ahyhoo, I have always loved to cook but now even more so since I started selling Epicue spices and dips. (www.epicureselections.com) the dips and spices have no MSG, no gluten and little or no sodium. It is such a treat to be able to use products in my kitchen that are peservative free. Of course I try to grow a lot of my own herbs but this year was very wet and I didn't have such a great crop of anything.

It's clean out the frig night for me. I have a batch of veggies that needs using, so I'm thinking of chopping them up and mixing them with some onions, garlic and olive oil, and roasting them. Some eggplant, squash, bell peppers - I think that's it. I thought I'd make some pizza dough and top it with some leftover spaghetti sauce, mozzarella and the roasted veggies.
Should be an adventure! |

NOw canning leftovers, thats sounds just like me. I like to cook once but the kids love the soup on the first night, tolerate it the second, and by the third refuse to eat! So if I make enough, I can it up, or if not quite that much I freeze it and then on a hard day, I just have to thaw!
