Bounce,

Did not even know those existed until yesterday.
I guess I was too too busy each season searching
for the white chocolate covered Oreo seasonals.

When Instacart delivers, choices for the best seasonal
items may be missed.

I love the chocolate covered Ritz crackers at Christmas time.

A former coworker used to make chocolate covered saltines. They were yummy and looked easy. Only half of the crackers are covered in chocolate.

What’s for dinner? Formerly frozen food. I went in the laundry room and found the freezer door wasn’t closed. 🤬

Is that with a tomato sauce Mary or just an oil and garlic sauce?

I've got a pot of soup on the go, hopefully I haven't cooked it to mush this time.

Milk Chocolate filled with Caramel Brownie Cream

Made in Germany

A lot of very elderly live here, so when I went asking for candy at their house, they did not have any, so I got my own.

Debbie,

Sounds delicious!

I took a package of roast beef out of the freezer. Keeping it simple tonight and making sandwiches and a salad.

I just came home with some almond jam tarts (aka bakewell tarts) that had been marked down in price. Those things are soooo good🤤

cw,

Yum! What flavor? Do you have a favorite berry? Mine is blackberry. I do love all berries though. I make a mixed berry cobbler once in awhile. My husband loves it.

I have been making my own almond butter. It’s super simple to make. I love it. My husband prefers peanut butter. I eat both.

I’m going to make breakfast for dinner tonight, a spinach and artichoke omelette.

Bakewell's traditionally have raspberry jam. Of course they traditionally have real almond frangipane too and I rather doubt these ones do. But they still taste good.

I posted earlier making chicken thighs, polenta 'n sliced tomatoes on the side. Which was pretty good. Had a lot of left over polenta-I've forgotten how it tends to expand-even when I think I've added too much liquid.
So-the polenta had set very nicely. There was Italian sausage in the fridge. Which the following evening I cooked. Sliced thinly a large onion, fried it seperatly. Heated the polenta in a non-stick skillet, added the onions. Cut into wedges to plate with the sausage, some cooked spinach to keep it all healthy. Good meal I haven't made in a very long time.

Ariadnee,

Sounds amazing!

A big pot of chilli to use up thawing ground beef, with garlic buns. Turns out not only was the freezer door not completely closed, but the fan has failed or is jammed. So food is thawing top to bottom. I turned cauliflower into soup and took 2 litres to my daughters. Oh the horror - we had to throw ourselves on a cheesecake. A week of quirky meals, but, with the price of groceries, we’re determine to rescue all we can.

Send,

I was thinking about doing a stir fry this week. I am always roasting veggies with chicken.

I need a change of pace. I like tamari sauce in my stir fry.

I am going through some family issues this week, and my hubs is a guy who wants to feed everyone, so he made a big breakfast of scrapple, eggs and sausage. It was great! And I have been hungry for spaghetti so he made homemade meatballs and it was very good, even though he loaded it with parmesan cheese which I kind of don't love. But hey he tried!

Pam,

Your husband sounds like he is a great cook! I love Parmesan cheese.

What’s scrapple? My husband cooks breakfast on the weekends too.

We had Mediterranean food for dinner with our daughter. It was very good. I had lamb dinner, they had chicken shawarma. We had hummus as well.

Need,

What’s scrapple ??? Lol
I didn’t know what that was either when I moved to eastern PA.
I have a friend whose father was a Pennsylvania Dutch butcher . My friend told me that scrapple is all the leftover nasty parts after you’ve butchered a pig .
Her father used to make different seasoned scrapple . She said people loved it . But friend said would never eat it because she saw what goes in it .

Thanks, Way. I wasn’t familiar with that dish. I had no idea what scrapple was.

Way some scrapple is made that way, I had Amish neighbors and they didn't waste anything! We get ours from a friend when he butchers so we know what goes into it, he only uses the trimming's from the good meat. It is mixed with (I believe) corn meal and shaped into loaves, which you slice and fry. We eat it with syrup, to us it's like pancakes sort of thing. Some call it a meat and have catsup with it. I guess it's like sausage,, I have a friend who won;t eat that because it's often scraps too, but I love a good sausage also!

I’m going to do a quick stir fry for dinner. We took our grand pup to the dog park early this morning. I love watching him play and I walk the park. So, we both get our exercise!

Pam,

The Cajuns in Lafayette, Louisiana, not too far away from New Orleans make fabulous sausages. My favorite is andouille sausage. My daughters love the boudin sausage too.

What are your favorite Amish recipes? Do you have any Amish cookbooks? What else are they known for? Do they sell homemade preserves? Don’t they make furniture and quilts? Do you buy theirs products? I love quality craftsmanship.

I don't think scapple is popular on this side of the border but my parents used to buy headcheese, I wouldn't even taste it (but I was a picky child). My grandparents liked Limburger cheese, and cooked cheese (koch kase) - I wouldn't eat those either.

My dad loved hogshead cheese! I never tried it. I think mom bought Limburger cheese. Sounds gross to me.
