16 Bean Soup:
Either soak or prep the beans according to the package...
In Butter sauté a couple cloves of garlic and one onion. Then add chopped peppers, (one red, one green) celery, and carrots. Sauté all these with a little salt and pepper until they start to get tender. Then add enough stock (I cheat and use water and vegetable bullion) to cover everything by a couple inches. At this point I also added a bay leaf, basil and oregano and a dash of red pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce and add the beans back in. Simmer for 2 hours or so and enjoy.

The bread recipe is here:

peach cobbler cheesecake for dessert.

:D

1/2 pound extra lean ground beef
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tsp olive oil
2 medium or 1 large zuchini
1 red bell pepper
2 15 oz jars prepared marinara sauce
1 15 oz container fat free ricotta cheese (I like to beat an egg into this, but it is not required)
1/2 cup low fat mozzerella, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan, or romano cheese, grated

9 lasagne noodles

1 Tablespoon fennel seeds, whole

preheat oven to 350

saute the beerf, onion and garlic in the oil. Cook until meat is no longer pink
use a small skillet with no oil and toast the fennel seeds on high or med high just long enough to get them nice and warm and with good aroma. Crush or grind them and add to the beef mixture

dice the zuchinni and pepper and add to beef
add the marinara sauce. (hint: if you can't find the smaller jars of marinara, use one 24 oz jar and add a can of diced tomatoes to the sauce)

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened.

boil the noodles, per package and drain, rinse and cool.

Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non stick spray, spread 1/4 of the sauce on bottom, then 3 noodles, then 1/3 of the ricotta cheese. Repeat until all noodles are used and end with the meat sauce. Cover tightly with foil and bake about 30 minutes, then remove the foil and add the mozzerella cheese and parmesan cheese. Bake another 15 minutes.

Makes 8 servings which are about 6 WW points each.

Freezes well.

hotdog hash and sliced tomatoes

how hard are baked beans to make?

about if you soak the beans overnight, you've got about 20 minutes (if that) of prep... then they just sit in the oven and bake

PM me if you'd like my recipe.

I hate to ask.

w/ garlic, onions, (peppers if you like) parsley and salt & pepper.

mashed potatoes, and corn bread for dinner last night. So tonight, it's roast beef sandwiches, since it'll probably be another 6 months before I cook anything else. ;)

we'll be having soup for lunch the rest of the week here :rofl:

bet that would help the sinuses :D

(Not that I ever knew what a Briarius was anyway. :yoiks:)

We had salad and hot wings. :9

Hope you feel better. :hi:

it was hard to say and hard to remember.

I'm working on feeling better, just waiting for the antibiotics to do their thing... How have you been?

and Zornhau will be easy to remember? :crazy: LOL

As for us, we work and take care of the kiddos and (usually) stay out of trouble. Kind of like you guys. :)

at least I think so, since it's German :D

I'm have to ask my German friend what it means. :)

"The strike of wrath"

spaghetti with a rich tomato and Italian sausage sauce...

a salad

a bottle of Cabernet

I left my glass of wine in the kitchen...

to make it hot. We use chipotle, though use whatever ya' like.

On the road again!

or at least paid by the company? :D

I wasn't very hungry tonight. :)

:D

Got the original recipe from Hillary Clinton in fact, but it has been changed a lot.

if it's from Hillary it must be made from puppies and kittens :D How was it?

:hi:

yum

:rofl:

I love that stuff! Right up there with good chili as a favorite dish. Between this thread and that Biscuits 'N Gravy one I'm getting hungry!

:D

Belated Welcome to DU!

:)

A wonderful beef broth packed with potatoes, various fish cakes, hard boiled eggs, and mochi. Top it off with hot Chinese mustard and you have a feast.

:D

It is not all sashimi and sushi.

...and Trader Joe's Kung Pao noodles and Trader Joe's Envy Greens. I love those frozen greens. Edamame beans, spinach, asparagus and broccoli. They are delicious and I always feel righteous with half a plate of greens on the plate. Yes, it was Trader Joe's day today.

I absolutely love North Carolina Barbecued Pork, make no mistake.. lovelovelove it! It beats all the other BBQ's in the world, no question, But someone just gave us like a GALLON of it, so we're having BBQ sandwiches for the rest of the week. I never thought I could get enough of it but really this is too much.

And I'm trying to go vegetarian and all of a sudden everyone's giving us food x(

you will have it when you have the craving.

The chowder came out pretty dern good, and there's tons left over--cod, salmon, clam, taters, carrots, all in a nice creamy soup. :9
