I recently picked up some eggplant at the farmers' market, found a recipe online, and made an eggplant lasagna that used matzo crackers instead of pasta and it was pretty tasty. I actually put it together on a Saturday night when I had time, and kept it in the fridge until we would be home to eat it on Monday. It included a recipe for sauce, but next time I would probably use a jar sauce or alter that part of the recipe.

It was very good and low calorie, too!

It's Friday . . . tonight it's "DJ Pizza" night.

Homemade pizza . . . yum! I take string cheese, place it along the crust of the pizza, fold the crust over the top of the cheese before adding all the toppings . . . yum-o. I l-o-v-e pizza. I know some of you have difficulty with tomato products, but, it doesn't seem to affect me.

Hmmmm you say . . . DJ Pizza from Bucky?? Ahhhh, my little secret.

Have a great weekend everyone.

We seem to be in the midst of an unofficial hurricane; pouring rain, high winds and just a generally "stay in and keep cosy" type of day...so there's a pot of beef stew simmering on the back burner! Lots of root veggies, cabbage, a few potatoes, tomatoes, and just before we have it, I'll drop a couple of dumplings/dough boys on top. Comfort food at it's best!

Well, tonight all 5 offspring are out for a meal with their father, stepmother and step sis. I was dreading it a bit. Thought of going out to friends but too tired. So, I have had a bath, put jamas and dressing gown on, then made the most delicious fish cakes from smoked mackerel and mashed potato left over from yesterday. I've enjoyed the peace and quiet!

I read something about a 'Cook once, eat twice' website which appealed to me. I hate coming in and starting cooking so use the slowcooker a couple of times a week. Scottie - you're very lucky!!

Hi Ailsa:

My husband would crash your dinner if he had known about the smoked mackerel cakes. That is probably his favorite food on earth.

Tonight we are having a nice borscht soup of beets, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, onions and a nice dab of sour cream on top. This time of year I make big batches of hearty soup to reheat for several nights. The two before were a winter squash, black bean, and corn one seasoned with jalapeno peppers and cumin and chili powder, and a Tunisian one with a tomato base, chard, kale, butter beans (big limas) and fine pasta, finished with harissa sauce (cayenne and garlic in oil). And yes the chilis aren't great for the digestion, but they do clear my sinuses and taste wonderful.

Hi food lovers!! I saw the new Rachel Ray show on The cooking Channel. She shows how to prepare make ahead meals for the whole week in one day/show. I wanted to post the link.

You all make me hungry....I wont comment on what I eat for dinner...just to tell you that your dinners put mine to shame....lol!

Most of the time...no one is home here but me at night....and when I get home from work and errands...its all I can do to get something in me just to take my meds. As you can imagine...nothing as elaborate or healthy as you all are talking about!

Thanks Sleepy for thinking of me.

I looked at that site and the recipes she listed for 30 days . . . . well . . . . my family (and me) are very picky eaters. I don't think there were many, if any, of those recipes my family would eat.

We don't like mushrooms, my boys don't like vegetables, don't like seafood . . . the list goes on and on.

My husband is a meat and potato guy and he usually puts hot sauce or BBQ sauce on most everything.

Lynn - you can come eat with us.

Tonight it's home made vegetable soup and homemade bread rolls.

SLEEPY101 · « **Reply #28 on:** October 18, 2010, 04:26:03 PM »

Didn't go grocery shopping so I am using what is left.

I am going to make a casserole with ground beef, hashbrowns and maybe taco seasoning and cheese. Just a recipe I had to make up in desperation:)
