Good Morning Monday Our Daily Dinner

Good Morning Monday

otterpond 14 years ago

Hello Out there all you sleepy heads. Time to rise and shine. Okay, no shine here in Orlando. Rained and lightening all night. Sure was good sleeping until I remembered I had to get up as this was a work day for me. Oh well..

This evening will be patty melts I think. I'm keeping it simple as I want to cram in a bunch of house chores before evening raids. I don't want to get slaughtered doing the trimming and tyding up for the weekend party all in one day.

Glad you are having fun Pat!

Wynne fix Les some mashed potatoes and gravy. ?

Just read all the posts last night about Sonic. LOL No, you don't go to Sonic for the food, especially the burgers, BUT the Cherry Limeade etc is the bomb! And the ice cream, the shakes, etc. My daughter loves the chicken strip dinner, though. Chicken strips, white gravy, fries and a piece of texas toast. She loves it!

Leftovers for us tonight. Have some pork tenderloin and veggies left, will probably make us a small salad to go with.

Happy Monday

Breakfast for dinner sounds good. Haven't done that in a while. Of course mashed potatoes and gravy sound good, too. I'm hungry. LOL

I know this is going to sound weird, but I've never had patty melts, well maybe, are they just hamburger patties with cheese on 'em? Sounds good, anyway.

Laurie, your dinner sounds healthy and good too. Yours does too, Lori.

I think Brad would eat mashed potatoes and gravy any day of the week, Wynne. Can't go wrong with that!

I know Ang, I'm hungry too. Trying to eat my leftover SW chicken chowder for lunch, but I got it too damn hot in the nuker!

Glad you're having fun, Pat!

I think I'm stuffing poblanos for dinner with all the leftovers: rice, some pork, might throw in the taco meat too! LOL and cheese of course, and some hot El Pato. That's the plan anyway.... Have a nice day all!

Patty melts are hamburgers with carmelized onions, swiss chaees on grilled rye bread....Oh yeah...with a litlle mustard!!!

Les loves mashed potatoes and gravy too....But loves a big hunk of meat next to it.

Figured I'd do tomato soup and grilled cheese...He can handle that if I cut it up small.

I didn't make it for the morning session so thought I would be in the afternoon session!
Not cooking tonight as we are going to our neighbor's daughter's softball game. Picking up burgers and fried and eating there since it starts at 5:30!
Patty melts are wonderful Donna - you have to try them.
Hope you're having a wonderful time Pat. Love those cooking stores........
Hope Les is doing better. Do they have him rinsing his mouth with an antibiotic rinse or warm salt water? That really heals things quickly. I'm with Les when it comes to mashed potatoes and gravy - where's the beef (or chicken)???
Well - that's it for todat. Still wondering where P7O is ?????????????????

Just got in from the store, found a lot of good bargains.... Some Masa's Gourmet Thai Peanut sauce for over half off! Same with Mezzetta's Napa Valley Bistro Arrabbiata sauce. I'm sure I can come up with something to do with 'em. Like satay chicken skewers with the peanut sauce.... but that's another night. Still making the kitchen sink stuffed poblanos.
It is strangely warm out too - 76º with warm winds. Those patty melts do sound good, and no I haven't had those.
Happy no cooking, Val, and the game.
Yeah, Wynne, Brad would be wanting the meat too!

Welp! It's been a super-busy day, started with doc's office at 8:45---DOWN 3 POUNDS in 5 weeks, had to add an extra week for the funeral. I knew that restaurant food and "easy" food would make me pay. HOWEVER, since it was more than "2" like I said yesterday, can't just give up. Still way more to go, LOL.

Came home and started cleaning and dealing with lawyers and Podunk, TN court clerks who don't know their a$$ from a hole in the ground. Picked up TBO and got him to work....gah already!

Making King Ranch Chicken casserole over here tonight. Serving with Mexican rice and green beans. Small portions for me and it's dinner in TN.

What's King Ranch Casserole Judy? I know I supposed to know, but you know...lol

Congrats on the weight loss! You are doing an awesome job!

Wynne I think the tomato soup and cut up grilled cheese sounds way better than mashed and gravy without a hunk of meat beside it! lol

wynnebaer 14 years ago said:

That's what I was thinking too, Lori.....Now he's telling me he wants meat in his grilled cheese....LOL

justjakesmom 14 years ago said:

LMAO Wynne! Brad puts ham in his grilled cheese too! It IS good...

I got ambitious and made peanut butter cookies - all without prompting. What's up with that?! Maybe I better start wearing an apron! LOL And greeting him at the door with a martini... Visions of June Cleaver.

Oh - where are my manners! That's great on the weight loss, Judy! Sorry, I know ALL about dealing with "podunk" lawyers too! Hang in there!
Yeah, Lori, I know I'm supposed to know what King's Ranch Casserole is too, but can't remember to save my .....

Just searched King Ranch Chicken Casserole and there are a bazillion on here! Which one is it Judy? Or is it your own version?

justjakesmom 14 years ago said:

Well the throw-everything-into stuffed poblanos got vetoed by the old man, he wanted some MEAT! So I'm making my Chile de'Arbol Chicken and Cheesy Fiesta Poblanos subbing black beans for the corn. It's all ready for the oven.... I guess I'm talking amongst myself today.... LOL

I made Keni's Tilapia Parmesan. So good. I really like the broiling of it instead of stacking the fish on top of each other like in other recipes. Creole rice and salad to go with.

Yummm, King Ranch Casserole. I have about 5 chicken legs I need to do something with the meat...might just make up a little one to go with the other leftovers we are going to have tomorrow night.

OH. MY. GOOD. MAUDE.

Y'all have to try this version of King Ranch! Basically, it's just cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, fried onion, cooked chicken, lots of cheese and of course---lots of tortilla chips on the bottom, can of Rotel ( I used mild). (Hubbs can't take the heat) LOL

1 can cream chicken
1 can cream mushroom
1 (small) onion, diced & fried
2-3 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken meat
1 can rotel (tomatoes diced with chiles)
2 cups cheddar or Mexican blend shredded cheese
1 12-14 oz bag tortilla chips (or you can sub torn up tortillas if you prefer)
Seasonings to taste

Have chicken meat boiled, and either shredded or diced finely.

Mix together the soups, cooked onion and rotel. Break up tortilla chips into reasonable pieces and layer about half on bottom of sprayed 13x9 glass baking dish.

Layer on half of chicken and half of soup mixture, then half of cheese. Repeat until all ingredients but cheese are used. Top with cheese and (if you like) green pepper chunks--or more hot peppers if you like hot stuff.

Bake on 350 for about 25 minutes, or until really hot, bubbly and slightly browned on top. Let sit for 5 mins before serving.

Oh, and thanks for the weight loss support. The three pounds was over about a 4-5 week period, and low as heck because of the stress of the funerals, eating processed crapola foods because I didn't feel like cooking---and also I did walk myself stupid during that time, but again---stress holds onto the fat.

It's 43 pounds down now. A few more pounds and I will be able to fit into the lowest size jeans I have in the closet---so that is a cool thing.

I can't imagine that it's working, but so far, every month I've lost more than I would have thought, ha!
