Just put a roast in with two cans of beef consomme. Pull the beef and serve with some of the sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-3/page/2#post-82115 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 05:18:23 +0000 mediagirl 82115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: hey persimmon.

It was freezer meal, surprisingly.</p> <p>Tonight I think we're having pizza, except I didn't buy yeast so I have to go and get some premade dough. It's a lovely day out, so after breakfast, we're hitting the trails! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-3#post-81280 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 02:44:20 +0000 SugarplumsMom 81280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day before last, I cooked a Filipino dish called "Paksiw" for the first time. I was supposed to use banana blossoms but used lily blossoms instead. It turned out really well! I sauteed pork with garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, then added brown sugar, vinegar and the lily blossoms in the end.</p> <p>Last night, I experimented some more and used a forgotten leek in the fridge and what was leftover of bamboo shoots I had stored. It was a coconut milk soup with fish, ginger, garlic, leeks, tomato, and shrimp paste. It wasn't great, but edible. I know where I went wrong (I needed a bolder flavor fish), use onion instead of leeks, and use a salty shrimp paste instead of the sweet one I had. DH will have a few frozen lunchboxes. Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-3#post-81255 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 01:00:35 +0000 MaisyMay 81255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before work I put two frozen pork steaks in the crock pot and covered them with cream of chicken soup. When we got home, Hubs made some rice and I whisked flour into the soup bits (after removing the meat) to make a gravy. We had rice topped with pork steak and gravy. I'll admit that I was lazy and didn't add a veggie, but it's easy to toss broccoli into this right before it's done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-3#post-81228 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:27:08 +0000 keiki_mama 81228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Homemade chili with some avocado on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-3#post-81156 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:16:22 +0000 autumnlove 81156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leftover night.

It's the only recipe I've ever even bothered to look at...), red potatoes mashed with buttermilk and freshly grated parmesan cheese, and a spinach salad (spinach, dried cranberries, diced apples, toasted walnuts and feta cheese with a balsamic honey vinaigrette).</p> <p>I'm so happy the First Trimester Coma has ended and my appetite has returned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-3#post-80931 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:47:52 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 80931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are making spaghetti and garlic bread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-3#post-80896 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:39:18 +0000 chopsuey 80896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leftovers!

I'm totally gonna look into slow cookers. Never knew what they were for before (like what the benefits were). My family never used one when I was growing up so I was never around them much. Gonna do some research now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-3#post-80805 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 19:49:31 +0000 Running Elley 80805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I totally know where Wasco is!
