What's for Dinner?

Took the leftover sausage gravy, used it as a base for a cheese sauce and made sausage gravy mac and cheese.  Served with a fried egg on top.

Clam chowder.  I had to change my recipe a bit because I didn't want to go to the store, but everyone liked it, so we're good.

YKW posted this a while back on FB and I made it last night...it was good.  I skipped the squash and did a tray of roasted broccoli instead

Tonight was pepperoni rolls that we had in the freezer from one of DH's coworkers, because pepperoni roll fundraisers are a thing here.  (I think it's a regional thing, but I'm not sure about that.)

Bacon, broccoli, onion and cheddar quiche.  And between the three kids and DH, they ate an entire honeydew melon.

Chipotle chicken enchilada stew, provided the recipe that I made up (it's in the slow cooker now) works.

The only thing I could find in the stupidmarket today was a corned beef, so I'm making corned beef, cabbage and potatoes in honor of St. Patrick's day. No buttermilk to be had, so no soda bread. But, there was Guinness, so we'll have that.

I won't be able to make my great-grandmother's Irish soda bread.  I still don't have an oven. Well, I have one, but it is sitting in the middle of the kitchen waiting to be installed.

I got corned beef Thursday and will make it on Tuesday . I'm wondering if I should pick up a brisket now for Passover. I guess I'll check tomorrow.

^^That was my goal today, but I couldn't find one. I guess I'll have to try another store tomorrow.

The corned beef came out great.  My first attempt, and it was a success.

[BensMom]

First attempt?? I make it every year! How did you cook it? I've don't it different ways. I don't even remember if I have a set way to do it.

Simmered it in 2qts of water for 3 hours with McCormick s pickling spice, an onion and garlic. Added potatoes, cabbage and carrots during the last 1/2 hour.   Drained the veggies and added a little butter and parsley to them. Delish.

GN,next time try using beer instead of water.  YUM!

[GoingNuts]

I seem to remember the veggies being too salty if I put them in with the corned beef. Maybe I had them in there the whole time, I don't remember.
