Hopefully Wild Turkey! My husband is hunting for a big gobbler tonight and me and the children are going looking for Morels (Hickory Chickens or Dry Land Fish) to fry up with it! We had a batch Wednesday, first time this year and they were delicious! Oh, and probably some homemade mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Yummy!

Somethin' fast and easy and out of the freezer tonight--tonight is grocery shopping night, so 1. We can't go hungry, and 2. It's gotta be quick.

Probably---
Creamed potatoes
Mixed Vegetables
Sliced Turkey
Garlic Bread

[Luv~N~Jesus]

oooh Sis, sherry, can we come over there!!!??? :laugh:

Sis Renee, we are in South Central Ky, which is quite a way away from Corbin. And no, I don't think wild turkey tastes anything like a butterball but it may be just I dont' fix it right LOL! They have that "game" taste and are tougher so the best way I have found to cook them is to fry the meat. We like to cut it in strips or even nuggets and fry them..

by the way my 7 year old son found some hickory chickens so it looks like I'll have to fix them up. Yummy! Oh! I might as well make soem buttermilk biscuits and country gravy to go with it. I don't know if I can wait for the turkey! I may just have to have morels, biscuits, gravy, and eggs instead! Yes, that is what it is. Unless sis sherry gives me the goahead to join her for supper tonight! LOL! ;)

[Renee29]

MMMMmmmmmm....love some biscuits and gravy.

[ReneeP]

Well since it was 73 degrees here today...I made grilled HOt Dogs with Chili and Cole Slaw, Corn on the Cob and macaroni salad and we ate outside ...LOVE IT!!!!

[ddc101]

Here is a sight that explains what morels are. Around here though people always called them hickory chickens or dry land fish.
Morel Heaven (http://www.morelheaven.com/)

It is so fun to go looking in the woods for them as a family outing. Here is a picture I took of one my son found today. It is quite small but still oh so tasty!

Where do you live Sister Cooper? You may have a southern delicacy growing right in your backyard! They are only up for about 4 weeks, and this is in the middle of the 2nd week for us. And then they are gone again for a whole nuther year. :( The kids really love to look for them and they are sooo hard to see in all the leaves and camoflauge, but when they do, it is so exciting! You get about 15-20 and you have enough for the meat dish for a family of 5. You bread them and fry them, after cutting them in halves and cleaning them real good. yummy yummy yummy! They are excellent fried up with scrambled eggs too.


Sister I promise there is nothing that looks like that anywhere around here.Interesting site.lv sis.c

I didn't cook dinner tonight, went to Cracker Barrel...good country cooking, but I did have a salad with my dinner. :)

[ddc101]

What is Macaroni Loaf??


I make macaroni and cheese.The wonderful kind made with melted american cheese and half and half plus shredded colby and I also stir in some Asiago.
When its melted I stir it into already waiting macaroni noodles(these can be low carb since Luxary does them now.)Then I stir in cubed turkey ham and place in a lazagna pan and top with american cheese and place in a 350 F oven for about thirty minutes.I am careful not to burn the cheese.I usually make two and put one in the freezer and we have that on one of my work days.lv sis.c

[NanaRenan]

Where are all the low carb. eaters? I had a bunless cheeseburger with green beans. The nice weather is coming and I can't deal with another summer of my legs uncomfortably rubbing together, so....gotta cut those carbs-sugar, white bread, white rice and anything else that turns into excess sugar.
I was just thinking "STOP TALKING PASTA!!!!"

I'm doing something that's sort of a blend between Atkins and Weight Watchers. I need the high protein because I'm fighting diabetes (and winning thus far)....but I need the "points" methods of WW to make myself eat ENOUGH. Otherwise, I go into ketosis and lose all my appetite and cease to eat enough to keep my metabolism working. (Long story.)

My daughter and I like the precooked meats by Hormel....since it's just the two of us most nights. Tonight she made green beans, seasoned with chicken bouillion and with real bacon bits in them....and nuked a package of the Hormel Pork au Jus....very tender and flavorful.

[Naomi]

NanaRenan, Do you have diabetes or are you on the border? I have it and Atkins is definitely the answer. When I stick to it, my glucose stays low. I've also lost 41 pounds on it. I found out he had 20,000 patients with diabetes who were totally cured by following his diet. He was a brilliant man.

[Renee29]

I made Cincinnati Chili last night. Does anybody know what that is and/or make it? I don't know anyone that eats out here.

[NanaRenan]

I "have it", but manage to stay just close enough to normal to not need medicine.

After watching it kill my mother, and seeing it attack my older sister -- I'm very determined to not give up without a fight.

I read Dr. Atkins' book years ago and it made SO much sense!! My doctor at the time had lost 75 lbs on the Protein Power diet so he supported me giving it a try, I did, three times, but each time stopped losing after about 20 pounds no matter how long I stayed on it. The doctor examined my food journals and determined I "wasn't eating enough".

Great....there's one that'll make you crazy...."I'm not losing weight BECAUSE I'm not eating enough!"

:huh:

Anyhow -- because I was declined by my insurance for gastric bypass a few years ago (insufficient documentation of diets!!!) I decided to go to Weight Watchers. Incredibly, I lost, even though I wasn't sticking to strictly low-carb, hi-protein. I eventually realized it was that minimum point requirement. Because weeks I tried to hurry things along by eating LESS than I was allowed -- I had a poor loss. But weeks that I ate at the top end of my points range -- or even ABOVE!! -- I had better losses.

In 2002, I lost 50 lbs in about 6 months -- and foolishly thought I could give it up while I went thru a stressful time. No -- I didn't gain it all right back, BUT, I can't get the "losing momentum" going again.

I gained and lost the same five pounds for a year and a half....and in the last few months have allowed a little more to creep back on. :flame:

No one to blame but myself.

How long have you done Atkins...? Do you have any problems with loss of appetite?

I always tell people its a "different" way to diet -- first, it requires taking everything you've ever tho't about and flipping it (Butter is bad -- NO, butter is okay! etc) Then -- you're never "hungry"....you can always eat. Thirdly -- it's BORING! You get tired of the same things over and over and its harder to provide variety!

WHICH to me those last two prove what we've said all along -- we eat out of boredom more than out of hunger.

Sorry -- is all of this too off topic??

Pam<----still avoiding work!

[NanaRenan]

I made Cincinnati Chili last night. Does anybody know what that is and/or make it? I don't know anyone that eats out here.
Um -- is that the stuff with cinnamon and bay leaves in it...? Served over spaghetti??

We have a missionary friend who did this for a church fundraiser once -- HERE IN TEXAS!!

LOL

Chili is like the state culinary hobby!! It wasn't too bad, just NOTHING like people were imagining.

Tell us what all goes in it.

[Naomi]

NanaRenan, I've been on "modified" Atkins for about 6 months. That means a couple of days a week I break it. I am addicted to potatoes and rice. Sometimes we have to eat what we want or we'll go crazy!! If I stay off sugar, corn, carrots, rice and potatoes I can pretty much keep my glucose under control. It is funny that DR. Atkins went against the grain of traditional dieting and had great success. I can't understand why the medical community is still fighting against his concepts. They work. I hate to think of the possibility of losing arms, legs and eyesight. I want to eventually get to the place where I can stay on Atkins continually, without cheating. I KNOW it will be hard. I am terribly addicted to chocolate. ANY CHOCOLATE. When I was pregnant with my youngest son, my diabetes was out of control. I had to have 3 insulin injections a day. I thought I would go out of my mind for lack of chocolate. While I was on the delivery table with the child literally hanging halfway out of my body, I was asking for Toll House cookies!! That's bad. I may try what you're doing with Weight Watchers. They sure have a lot of good recipes. Hang in there!! When you get to heaven you'll be able to eat anything you want.

[Renee29]

Fried Chicken, potato salad, baked bean, cucumbers & tomatoes.

[NanaRenan]

NanaRenan, I've been on "modified" Atkins for about 6 months. That means a couple of days a week I break it. I am addicted to potatoes and rice. Sometimes we have to eat what we want or we'll go crazy!!
One day after months on WW -- and the only Mexican food I had had was chicken fajitas, I grabbed my husband by the collar and said, "Get in the car, we're going to Rosa's.....I'm gonna have some cheese enchiladas with beans and rice or SOMEBODY is gonna get hurt!"

He tried to talk me out of it, but I wouldn't hear of it. I said, "Trust me -- I've dieted TOO long. I know when I get an honest to goodness craving that I can eat a WHOLE lot of other stuff and NOT be satisfied...it's safer and quicker to go straight for what my body's beggin' for."

If I stay off sugar, corn, carrots, rice and potatoes I can pretty much keep my glucose under control. It is funny that DR. Atkins went against the grain of traditional dieting and had great success. I can't understand why the medical community is still fighting against his concepts. They work. I hate to think of the possibility of losing arms, legs and eyesight.
My doctor said who ever came up with that food pyramid needed to be indicted for murder for all the diabetics who've died eating NINE to ELEVEN servings of grains and vegetables a day!

I want to eventually get to the place where I can stay on Atkins continually, without cheating. I KNOW it will be hard.
I don't think that's a good idea....I saw a documentary on it a few months ago. They say if you stay on it longer than about 10 months, your body begins to figure out how to conserve the stored fat instead of burn it. Can't remember how to explain it. But they recommend shorter periods of time, with resting in between.

My son went on it Thanksgiving and by Valentines had lost 40 lbs. He took a break and has lost another 8 eating anything he wants! He's just restarted Atkins this week.

I am terribly addicted to chocolate. ANY CHOCOLATE. When I was pregnant with my youngest son, my diabetes was out of control. I had to have 3 insulin injections a day. I thought I would go out of my mind for lack of chocolate. While I was on the delivery table with the child literally hanging halfway out of my body, I was asking for Toll House cookies!!
:laugh: That's funny! I craved Russel Stover Pecan Logs with my last one -- had to have one every day!! I would rob the kids piggy banks to get the change to go get one!! But, I although I gained tremendously and had really big babies, I never tested positive for gestational diabetes.

:rolleyes:

When you get to heaven you'll be able to eat anything you want.
Nah -- I figure we'll be so busy praising Him we won't have time to eat! :bow:

I have had a roast in the slow cooker all night..and oh my goodness....it is soooooooo tender and the aroma kept waking me up through the night :p

Is that the same as Skyline Chili, made with nutmeg as one of the seasonings.

I love that!! Haven't had any since we moved to TX. I miss White Castle's too!!

Yes, I think it's pretty much the same as Skyline Chili. I've turned my husband into a lover of Cincinatti chili.

Anybody know what I can do with a boiled chicken? I didn't feel like heating up the oven to roast it. It's in the 90's today.

Debone it, shred the meat and sprinkle on tortillas with cheddar cheese, onions, tomatoes & jalapenoes. Broil on low till cheese is melted... Top with sour cream and cilantro and you have quesadillas.:D

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Can I have your recipe? Pleeeeze!!!

As for your chicken I have a crock pot recipe for White chili that uses chicken and navy beans if you are interested.

[Renee29]

Here you go. I usually add more Chili powder than the recipe calls for, but try tasting it and adding a little at a time. I also add beans to mine and top with lots and lots of sharp cheddar cheese and oyster crackers.


1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 bay leaf
1/2 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
2 (10.5 ounce) cans beef broth
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese


1 Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 6 minutes.
2 Add beef, in batches if necessary, and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned.
3 Add chili powder, cinnamon, cumin, allspice, cloves, bay leaf, chocolate, beef broth, tomato sauce, cider vinegar, and red pepper. Stir to mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
4 It is the best if you now refrigerate overnight.
5 Remove the bay leaf. Reheat gently over medium heat. Serve over hot, drained spaghetti. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Grilled pork chops, white beans (small navy beans to anyone outside of TX!) and cornbread muffins courtesy of Cotton Patch because my oven is broken!

Does anyone know why they don't sell cornbread or cornbread muffins ready-to-eat at the store?? I'm sure it must spoil quickly, but still, you'd think there'd be a market for it.

We are having rotini noodles with hamburger and meat sauce. I am about to go get some now.

[Jillian]

I made my family homemade chicken and noodles. I thought of my mother as I was rolling them out, I miss her and wish I could tell her I loved her once again. Those of you with mothers still alive, call them and tell them you love them. It will mean so much to them now, and a lot to you later.

God bless.

[pentecostal mom]

I made chicken and dumplings last night. They were very Yummy! Reading about the sausage and peppers and onions...I did that last week and also did hamburger that way. My mom used to call it Hobo steaks. What I did was make hamburger patties and place in baking dish with bell peppers and onions sliced up and a little bit of steak sauce dashed over it all. You can also cut up potatoes and drop them in with the meat. Talk about quick and easy and delish!

I don't cook, JW does (and he is barefoot). I did walk out to the freezer, get the turkey roast out, put it on a cookie sheet and stick it in the oven. Other than that, the rest of the meal will be cooked by JW, except the tea I will make. So, it isn't impossible for you, A MAN, to cook for yourself.

Tonight I'm fixing Chicken, garlic bread, wild rice, and spinach

Chicken:

Place boneless/skinless chicken breasts or tenders in dish.
top with plenty of swiss cheese
top with cream of chicken soup
sprinkle on stuffing mix

bake at 350 (time depends on chicken type)

Yum!!!!!!!!! (especially if you use LOTS of cheese!)

[Renee]

Looks like JW is cooking a roast. Don't know what else, we have a little bit before we have to eat.

[Renee29]

I tried this new recipe for Mexican Chicken from Sunset Magazine. It came out yucky! I hate it when that happens!!

[Renee]

We are saving the roast for tomorrow. Went to Denny's after church.

Hi Sister Cooper... Saw this question on your post and thought I'd share what I use in my BBQ sauce...

-bottle of regular bbq sauce (Hint- darker the color, the better)
-jar of honey (or however much you want)
-dejon mustard (just a dallop)
-dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

And if you like teriyaki bbq sauce, eliminate the honey and mustard in exchange with a half cup of teriyaki marinade (sauce) and voila~

PS. these are for kindergarten cooks like me hehehe....

Nay and Sis. T, shall I tell them about the time when I cooked macaroni and cheese with cat food? ROTFLOL. :icon_laug Well, I'm not much of a cook, but I guess I can tell you about the time that I cooked macaroni and cheese mixed with cat food for my parents. ROTFLOL. :icon_laug It happened when we were having drama practice that nite. And I volunteered to cook, so mom agreed. So here I go, cooking my famous macaroni and cheese and I get the can to go mix in the tuna right? And we had a very picky cat @ the time, and he would eat nothing but canned cat food. So I grabbed a can and mixed it in with the macaroni and cheese. So than I served it to my parents, and they ate it too!! ROTFLOL. :icon_laug Even tho they kept saying, "WHAT is IN this??!! Tastes GRITTY!! It doesn't taste like tuna" And than mom looks at me and she says, "Maria, did you put the cat food in with the macaroni and cheese???" And I look over at the counter, there's the tuna fish can sitting there. And the empty can of cat food sitting there on the counter. I said, "WOOPS!! Guess I did!" Well, they spit it out right away and gave the rest of the supper to the dog. And not even the DOG would eat it either! ROTFLOL. :icon_laug So now ya'll know, I can't cook worth anything. ROTFLOL. And so I'll have to find me a man to help me cook! ROTFLOL. :laugh: :icon_danc Here's my man! *snickers* :icon_danc
