This is awesome. I love this idea. I love to cook almost as much as I love to quilt. I also like to garden. I think they all go hand in hand. For me I'm having plain ole pork chops, sweet potato and some veggie. Not too ambitious today. I cooked my little heart out yesterday. My Grandson has a ball game tonight so it's a quick dinner tonight can't miss the game.

This sounds so yummy! I made pork enchiladas tonight. It's made with leftover shoulder pork butt that was cooked in the crocked pot with some basic seasonings. To make the enchiladas I just shred up the meat, add a can of diced green chilies. I microwave my corn tortillias in a paper towel. Dip them in either red or green enchilada sauce (canned - I usually use a more authentic sauce not store brand), add meat and cheese. Roll em up and lay them in a cassarole dish. Top with more cheese and the remainder sauce. The sauce will be soaked up by the corn shells. Quick and easy meal.

tonight we're having brown stew. i usually make it the night before, as it thickens naturally when its left standing. i make a pressure cooker size batch, which feeds 3 adults & 2 kids for 2 meals, each having about 2 bowls full.
16-20 small potatoes, peeled & quartered,
couple of carrots,
2 small or 1 large onion,
packet of soup, ( i use oxtail or beef),
a stock cube,
handful of pearl barley or lentil,
1-2lbs beef diced,
seasoning.
soak barley/lentils,
throw stockcube & diced beef in pot, chop carrots, potatoes & onions, throw them in too. make up soup mix & add to pot, season to taste, fill pot with water to near the top, bring to boil, stirring occasionally, once boiled throw in the barley/lentils, turn down the heat & simmer for a few hours.
If left over night the smaller potatoes will melt & thicken the stew. if its too thick, just add more water.
my family love this meal & its cheap & tasty!
