Barbara your dinner sounds yummy.
Today it's another slow cooker dish. Baked beans with a jar of my home canned eye of the goat dried beans. I ordered a couple of cans of B&M brown bread off Amazon so I'll have that along with home fried potatoes and garden fresh tomatoes.

Tonight we are camping at our cabin shack. We are having tenderized deer steak with fresh picked chicken of the woods mushrooms. Also grilled summer squash and fried cornbread and pickled cucumbers. Eating from the garden is so much fun.

Barbara, supper in the cabin sounds delish. I don't know a thing about forging for wild mushrooms but I would like to go with an expert.

Sara---we had to cancel our cabin plans because of a bad thunderstorm, but dinner is the same and we are cooking on the porch. I popped over the hill by the house and picked a basket full of chanterelles. So we'll have two kinds of mushrooms. I too wish I could go mushrooming with an expert. I taught myself from a book about fool proof kinds. I only know six kinds to pick. All I know is that you never pick a mushroom with gills if you don't know how to mushroom really well. All poisonous mushrooms have gills and I just don't pick any of them.

Since I have so many dietary restrictions my meals are rather boring. But, I thought posting how I have to eat might be helpful to other farmgirls who have allergies and chronic illness like I do.
I can't eat a starch with a meat protein. That means I eat a alkaline vegetable with a meat. So no bread with a meat either.
I often just eat meat by itself for lunch. Dinner is either a gluten free grain with a vegetable or seed butter.
It keeps me fit and trim. Tonight I am having buckwheat hot cereal with sesame butter. Lunch was haddock. Breakfast was butter beans and quinoa.

Hi Marjean, your meals are not ‘boring’ and sound healthy!
I haven’t been on much, farmgirls, so I am sorry the date hasn’t stayed current on this thread. It has not been the best summer for me. I’ve missed everyone and things are looking up. We had to get our new roof put on, and it has been gruesomely hot and humid. Not wanting to cook when my kitchen heats up to the high 80s!
Anyhoo, I have been making some great meals from what is in the garden. I made a squash casserole to die for, with lots of yummy salads, and cucumber dishes as well.
Tonight I am tossing a little pasta with feta, fresh yellow sun gold tomatoes, feta cheese, rainbow chard, squash, carrots, garlic, cucumbers and kale, tossed with lemon and olive oil. Quick, easy, and full of garden goodies!
What’s on your table?

We've been eating out of the garden too. Fresh green beans and lots of squash. Soon to have corn if the coons don't get it. Also finding lots of fresh mushrooms and eating them. Summer cooking is fun. Cucumbers in vinegar also.

Everyone's dinners sounds so yummy.
This afternoon for dinner we had breaded chicken patties with horseradish sauce, Texas toast and cabbage steaks with roasted paprika. Later tonight we had strawberry dump cake and roscotto wine. Right now I am feeling full and very relaxed.

Nancy, YUM!!!!! Judy, YUM!!!!! All of y’all are making my mouth water.
Last night it was finally cool enough to turn the oven on. DD had a friend over so I made homemade pizzas: One white pizza with white crust, mozzarella, olive oil, fresh basil, garlic and Parmesan, one with a wheat crust, mozzarella homemade sauce and fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic from the garden. Both with fresh homemade crusts. I love to make pizza crust! Turned out delicious.
Thinking of doing shish kabob tonight.
What’s on your table?

The thunderstorms everyday and high humidity make it difficult to grill outside, which is what we love to do in summer. So...I made a yummy chicken dish two nights ago. I took chicken breast and cut it into chunks. In my cast iron skillet, I put it in a bit of olive oil to brown. I added a can of organic cream of mushroom soup, a small can of tomato sauce, fresh cut up tomatoes from the garden, an onion, and fresh garden peppers. Let it simmer. Seasoned with garlic, salt, and a sprinkling of parmesan. I added fresh basil and let it simmer. Served over whole wheat pasta. It was SOOOO delish, and no oven was turned on!
Today is still hot and thunderstorms are happening but it is not quite as miserable. I am making a MaryJanesFarm bakeover tonight. Love them.

Hi Nicole, I'm ready for oven weather too. 101 and dry.
It's leftovers today. Lady cream peas (dried), potatoes with butter & cheese, fresh tomatoes and whatever else is hiding in the fridge.

A little while back we talked about peanut butter sandwiches with dill pickles. This week I found a 1944 cookbook at an estate sale - "The Victory Cookbook" Wartime Edition. It has a recipe for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Bought back memories of when I was growing up in the 1940s and peanut butter had the oil on top and it would have to be mixed before using. The recipe calls for 1/4 cream or hot water to help mix it. The book has five peanut butter sandwich recipes.

PB and pickles??? I would get pregnancy jokes for sure!!! lol
Tonight I am making a pot of chicken noodle soup. Roasted the chicken yesterday and would have made it last night but the power went out :(
I'm trying a recipe for Keto Egg Noodles that I'll use in the soup so it's Keto friendly for DH. It's going to be hot today, so we're just going to bump up the AC and ignore that!
Yesterday I tried making homemade caramels for the first time and they turned out pretty good. DS liked them! He is not a big sweets eater so that was a win! They weren't as chewy as I'd like so per the recipe notes I'll try adding some extra cream next time.
I also tested a new bread recipe yesterday - uses cottage cheese in the dough but it is a yeast bread. Lots of flavor from garlic and sun dried tomatoes, etc. It was actually in the oven when the power went out but I left the door closed for a while and it actually ended up being baked - for which I was grateful!!! |

Hugs!

For lunch it's spaghetti with sautéed red bell peppers and onion tomato sauce. Sautéing two peppers so I will have enough for topping garlic naan bread for tomorrow's lunch.
Supper is oatmeal with homemade slow cooker applesauce. Breakfast for supper is one of my favorite things.

Keto Egg Noodles
1 ounce cream cheese, room temp 2 eggs, room temp 1/4 tsp wheat gluten (may skip but this makes the difference in the texture - I ordered mine from Amazon)
Oven = 325 Use blender or food processor to combine the ingredients until smooth.
Pour onto silicone mat lined cookie sheet with rim. Smooth out into best rectangle shape you can manage. Keep batter very thin. Bake for 5 minutes or until set. Don't over bake! Remove from oven and let sit a few minutes before cutting. Best if simmered in a sauce or broth for a few minutes! |

Sara, breakfast for supper is a favorite of mine, too!
Jaime, thanks for the recipe!
My schedule is finally more “normal” so I am happy to come back to this thread!
It’s finally cooled off a bit, so I am thinking lots of soups and hot meals. I posted my “Pumpkin Chili” recipe on the blog, if anyone is interested. http://www.farmgirlbloggers.com/15166#more-15166
Not sure yet what is on the menu for this rainy Monday...

I made some pretty good dinners recently. My fave was split pea soup. I didn’t have a hambone and am trying to cut down fat in our dinners. I made the soup but instead used a dollop of organic chicken stock base. It was sooo good. We ate the soup down to the last drop!
My daughter made the best side salad last night: arugula, kale, tomatoes, clementine sections, peppers and seasoned with just lemon juice. It was awesome! Simple but good. Served with pasta and sauce. On the side, home baked bread from a client of my husband’s. OMG.
Tonight I am making beef stew. Will use beef, red wine, potatoes, tomatoes, butternut squash, Swiss chard, kale, and pearl onions. Will simmer all day.
What’s on your table, farmgirls?

Sara, YUM! We love potato soup. A family favorite, for sure. Tonight, it is a "Spice Rubbed Chicken", made will all sorts of fall spices. On the side, I will saute up the rest of the rainbow chard from the garden, kale, onion and cranberries, and make Greek Macaroni and cheese. I need to use up the rest of the cheddar as I have recently "broken up" with cheese,lol. (Six pounds down because of it).
Tomorrow is Halloween. I am making pumpkin chili for a crowd (see my October blog on the Suburban Farmgirl Blog for the recipe). My best friend is bringing snickers pie for dessert, and my other friend a salad. Lord, grant me the will power to not eat too much of that pie!
What's on your table?
