Short Ribs, smashed potatoes, and baby peas. So hungry after cooking that long I forgot to take a pic

 

[Proud Prepper]

I cooked some potatoes with sautéed onions and garlic. They will go with ribeye steaks and green beans.

You can’t go wrong with that combo .

Spaghetti tonight.

Royal reds tonight. These were a lot better than last time...fresher for one thing.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I made meatballs (ground beef and pork) and homemade Italian sausage links.
I cooked a red tomato gravy as we call it down here. Spaghetti and garlic French bread.

We used to make tomato gravy for breakfast at deer camp (or it might have been the duck club) along with country fried squirrels.
That was decades ago. I've forgotten how to make it.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Toast, cottage cheese and a grapefruit.

Like this?

Three Tablespoons of rendered bacon fat or oil
1/4 of a cup of minced onions
1/4 of a cup finely diced celery
1/4 of a cup of finely diced green peppers
1/2 of a Cayenne pepper minced
Two cloves of garlic minced
One cup of diced vine-ripened plum tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon of Cajun Seasoning
1/2 of a teaspoon of thyme
Three tablespoons of all-purpose flour
One-8-ounce can of tomato sauce
One cup of chicken stock and +more
splash of Worcestershire sauce
hot sauce, to own taste, optional
Kosher salt to own taste
fresh ground black pepper to your own taste.

A lot simpler (fewer ingredients). I think it was oil, flour, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Maybe some hot sauce. The fried squirrels gave it the flavor when you simmered them in it. Some people used fried squirrel heads with tomato gravy.
IIRC, you just made a basic roux and then put the tomatoes, salt and pepper in, and when it was gravy you added the fried squirrels and simmered for a while.

A big Angus beef pot roast and potatoes, turnips, carrots, onions, bell peppers, celery, garlic in a beef bone broth gravy over white rice.

Today I opened 2 quarts of great northern beans I had canned months ago added chicken bone broth for more liquid, and threw in kelbasa, had pork chops w mushroom gravy, rice and had to make some Mac n cheese (smoked gouda) for my son on side...

Pizza last night! Son brought a large one and brought here, from local pizza place..was good!

Larry made gumbo today for him since I hate his gumbo! So, I had a salty piece of ham steak, mashed potatoes, Italian green beans that Larry also made. I'm thankful to have someone cook since I'm working too late, BUT!
Thank God it's weekend and I can cook next 2 days!

Might be bologna sandwiches! Who knows!

Had big breakfast. Did no cooking after that today.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Thursday night-my preps rotation corned beef hash.
Friday night- Fancy famous chef restaurant For my wife’s birthday. Figured out how to imitate the meat And will. One ingredient short on the incredible Smoked Old Fashion.
Saturday- I take her to the best places

No sillies, it’s the place in the lighted part of the sign. Just happens to be next to the strip club. Talk to the locals when you are out of town. One of the best Mexican places I have ever been to.
Tonight- back to my browned butter pasta.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

I was napping when I got the call she was on the way.

Wing it time. Dusting of Sriracha powder, lemon pepper, and cilantro. Some Thai chilis for garnish.

Dang, I wish I measured.

 

[Dani]

I made this recipe but can be converted to outside camping fire in a Dutch oven in a heartbeat, I ended up making my own cornbread type dressing though. Sorry we are southern here and don't really like a Yankee type dressing but I can handle some bread as long as it has some cornbread mixed in. You just kinda wing it to suit your own taste but it is really good. I have no idea why pages turned sideways.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Mac and cheese with sliced sausage dogs.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Trying to figure out how to use this Jalapeño cornbred for dinner tonight.
I am never opposed to cornbread, I figure it to be a plus 1 or 2 to my cast iron seasoning. Think she made this in that pan with the chicken was in And not one of her fancy pans.
