Simple yet fun meals

Chicken prices have been crazy. Like 5 plus for wings or leg quarters for $5.90 for ten pounds and they are gone before they get off the truck.

I went to frozen items and got chicken patties and made my own light version of chicken parmesan over pasta.

I made a lighter sauce with spiced stewed tomatoes.

I also used leftover chilli and made corn dog chilli bake.

Corn bread mix, hot dogs cut up, chilli, cheese and more corn bread mix and let cook in crock pot for three hours. You can also do this in an oven.

Both meals were fun and tasty.

Simple meal

Simple meal: shells and cheese and salad.

Am I the only who gets excited over cheesy pasta and salads? It’s just fresh, rich, and comfortable.

The other day. . . I through several dozen chicken wings in the crock pot with some spices and butter. . . for a few hours.

Then I put them on the panini press for grill marks and tossed them into BBQ sauce. (My brother made his own hot sauce with melted butter. )

I took the broth from the chicken wing and used it to make butter noodles with corn.

They turned out really good and I would defiantly make them again.

I have learned you can always get creative and use everything we have.

Turtle, Zeroman and I take advantage when we can get access to the kitchen. We had access yesterday and we made a feast.

Zeroman made . . .

I made . . .

Turtle helped with both.

We also baked. . . chocolate pudding cake and very chewy brownies.

The lasagna and the lasagna cheesy rolls.

Here is the plain and candied bacon BBQ meatloaf.

Roasted and glazed carrots

The soured beans had bacon and were sour and yet tangy. It was grandma’s recipe and my mom had asked for them, so we made them just for her.

The brownies were chewy.

The cake was soft with the creamy pudding on top. . . yum.

It was a nice way for us to celebrate Mother’s day as Turtle, Zeroman, and I got to cook for our mothers.

We had three days worth of food as we also have leftover for tomorrow as well.
