Greek salad and crackers with cheese.

I’m making spaghetti pie today. Normally I cook a traditional ham for the Easter holiday but still have bags of sliced ham from the last one in the freezer. I have a large bowl of baby spinach from thinning the plants yesterday too and will do something with that. Oh, and some more of the portobello mushrooms will get marinated and roasted too, along with some garlic bread. I really like this thread, beats the heck out of politics and religion!
The only thing I would like more is if everyone shared the recipe for their better meals.

Good idea on recipes. Even more so on alternative recipes for after SHTF, when some ingredients may be scarce or not available.

Boiled Duck eggs.

I roasted a whole chicken injected with a garlic butter sauce and Tex Joy's Rooster Booster, mashed potatoes, boiled in chicken broth with chopped onions, garlic and carrots. Once softened drain and add in cream cheese, butter, salt and pepper and dill weed. Sauteed brussel sprouts with onion, garlic and bacon, green beans and then made an Old Fashioned Syrup Cake using cane syrup a neighbor gave me with a sugar glaze frosting. Granny loved it. . . . I asked how she was doing during dessert time. . . just fine, but you cant have my dessert. . . This was the first time I made this one. It was just ok in my opinion. I think I might do it again but I will need to add in a riser like baking powder. It was just too dense for me.

Mom cooked a ham for dinner, with scallop potatoes, shrimp and a salad. Mom's 88 years old and really shouldn't be cooking big meals like this anymore.

You can't be asking people to give out classified information Well, the truth is I don't exactly have recipes a lot of times - I know how to make things but it's kind of taste as I go and make it right. Your dinner sounds delicious though. I didn't eat anything tonight - horrible migraines with nausea take away my appetite Now I'm feeling a little better and y'all are making me hungry but it's really too late to eat. I shouldn't have come to this thread It certainly is better than politics and religion though.

Sorry about the migraines.
As far as throwing out the recipes;
Cooked Spaghetti noodles get coated in 2 egg whites, a little bit of olive oil, garlic and onion powder and Parmesan cheese. Toss in a bowl and evenly coat. Spread in the bottom of a greased oven dish. Cover with cottage cheese, then cover that with your meat sauce. Bake at 350 for 20 mins., and layer with mozzarella, baking for 10 more mins.
I used the leftover spaghetti and sauce from the fridge, and figure everyone here allready knows how to make their favorite sauce so left that out. It ended up really good and got me interested in finishing the leftover spaghetti. Oh, accompanied by a piece of split French bread, lightly buttered with garlic powder and shredded mozzarella cheese, then toasted beside the pie for those last ten minutes.

Last night I grilled a steak and chicken breast over a cherry wood fire. Also toasted some sourdough garlic bread over the coals.

I'm planning an after SHTF meal. Kudzu root , dried and ground to make a gravy. Saw palmetto hearts, onions, turnips, peppers to make a squirrel stew. Edible plants and weeds for a salad. With a wild BlackBerry, raspberry viniger dressing. Ill bake a pan flat bread made from kudzu root, oil and water, sugar, salt.

I will let everyone know how it comes out.

This sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to hear how it is.

Venison Stew.

 

[Proud Prepper]

We ate at Restaurant last night that's one of my favorites. They serve Red Devon Beef. I got a Ribeye and got to get a piece of Filet. Loaded baked potatoe, grilled Brussels sprouts with bacon and a balsamic drizzle. Salad and hot rolls.

 

[lonewolf]

Red Devons are the local cattle here.

 

[Proud Prepper]

These are raised in the Ozarks. Probably originally from Devon England.

 

[lonewolf]

yep, that's where i'm from(not the Ozarks)!

 

[Mountain trapper]

View attachment 9431 These are raised in the Ozarks. Probably originally from Devon England.

The Red Devon and Red Angus do very well being finished on grass. Many cattle breeds don't do so well and need to be finished on grain.

Venison Stew.

Is that wild or raised venison?

I was hungry but in a hurry today so decided to do a quick meal. I pulled out the George foreman and sliced two slabs of zucchini, and cleaned two portobello caps. I threw them on the grill and basted them with soy sauce several times, flipping them about three times to coat both sides of the mushroom caps and zucchini slices. I also cooked a smoked sausage on the grill too at the same time. The sausage is always really good on the foreman grill as I smash it to split it some and crispy the outside, but surprisingly the mushrooms were the best I’ve ever had. The caps flatten out from the weight of the lid and were done in just a few minutes. The soy, with NO marinating, soaked in just perfect, but the mushrooms were the juiciest and just the most perfect texture I’ve ever had! No complaints with the zucchini either, but I don’t think I will ever cook a mushroom any other way again. Hell, I’m getting hungry again just talking about this!

I made some breakfast tacos and ate them for dinner. I had intended to bring them for my church group on Sunday morning but I got called in to work. No sense letting the stuff go to waste.

 

[Brent S]

Not letting ant food go to waste, that’s my new motto!

 

[Mountain trapper]

Tonight was a can of chicken that I shared with the dog while while working on the fence line. Too tired for anything else.

"Ant food"?

 

[Brent S]

"Ant food"?

Proof reading is a lost art.... not letting any food go to waste. Basically I’ve become a pig and eat everything in sight!

Chicken boiled in wine and ginger and quinoa tabbouleh

That sounds good.

 

[DrHenley]

That sounds good.

My wife drinks the "Chicken Wine" soup. I think it's using rice wine, but I'm not sure. Probably Sake. I just eat the chicken.

Walked in the smoker and probably removed 50 paper wasp nests, apparently I didn't put the stack plug back in. After the wasps were cleaned out we started smoking a whole hog (apple/mesquite combo) yesterday morning, this be part of dinner tonight and home made baked beans using part of the juice drippings from the hog in the making of the baked beans.

We kindly celebrating that with all the crap that hit us up here during winter and the quick melt off no one got hurt and no equipment failure.

We grilling out tonight so I cubed a stick of butter in the ground beef then salt and black pepper before patting out the burgers .
