egg salad sanwich





I used day old devilled eggs for this.

First mash up all the devilled eggs in a bowl with a fork.

I added a little bit of creamy salad dressing, and freshly cracked pepper.
I also chopped up a little shallot.
I just put a tablespoon of that mixture on my toasts and voila, here's my sandwich.

Nothing wasted, everything reused.

chicken barbeque with beer up it's butt















We're having company over tonight so I'm making supper.
First I put a chicken in the crockpot, then I poured the rest of my bottle of plum sauce on the chicken.
Then I set the crockpot to medium.
I'm gonna cook that for a few hours.

We went to Calgary and we ended up buying from the Menonite store.
I bought 3 dresses for the price of three dollars each.
Emma bought a bunch of tops and Chandler got a wooden building game.
Then we went to Tim Horton's and had lunch with Jason.

I Placed the carrots that are going to be barbequed on a sheet of aluminium foil.
On top of the baby carrots is the rest of a strawberry-orange and brandi jam.
We'll close the foil and barbeque the carrots along with the chicken.
Oh by the way, Jon's planning on shoving a beer can up the chicken's butt.
That's going to be our barbeque.
I'm also planning to bake bell peppers with rice in them.

Spaghetti and meat sauce




Today's supper included yesterday's meatloaf leftovers.


I chopped up my meatloaf into small little pieces in my frying pan.


I then added a large can of tomato sauce.


I seasoned it with black pepper, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes.




I boiled my pasta with a tiny drop of oil in the water to keep the pasta lubricated and keep them from sticking.


After the pasta is cooked, I drained the water.




After serving your paste and meat sauce, make sure to top it with freshly grated parmesan cheese.


Enjoy.

Meatloaf and potatoes











Yesterday's supper was easy and simple. I had a pound of hamburger meat that I thawed in the fridge and I added a good cup or so of packaged bread crumbs.
I added pizza sauce to my mixture and mixed that all up. Then I pressed my mixture into a plastic container and I transferred the pressed mixture in my crockpot.

I peeled potatoes and placed them whole around the meatloaf mold.
I watered down the rest of my pizza sauce, shook it all up and emptied it into my crockpot, covering the whole meat.
I cooked my meal for a few hours on the low setting.

lentils with sweet onions

Here's a recipe I remember from an old boyfriend of mine who was czechoslovakian.
Here's how it goes:
You'll need to cut up a large onion and fry it slowly on medium low heat until the onion is caramelized. It will take a while so be patient.
Once the onions are nice an brown, add a heaping tablespoon of white flour to your frying pan, coat all the onion pieces.
Then add your can of lentils, season heavily with salt and pepper and put a couple tablespoonfuls of white vinegar.
Voila.
Serve wish a side of sausage, or with toasts.
It's so simple but so nutritious too.
