Mmmmm     Cozy winter eating. 

Beef stew, pinto beans, tamale pie, pork roast, lots of potatoes, biscuits and gravy, chili beans, persimmon cookies, vanilla cake with hot fudge sauce, peach cobbler.

Heck I just gained 5 pounds listing that stuff. 

Gross, Virgil.  Now talk about food or take your Youtube baloney and stuff it.

Mmmm--biscuits and gravy.  I was just daydreaming about that yesterday. 

Chicken and dumplings, macaroni and cheese, hot Campbell's bean w/bacon soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, roast turkey, pecan pie, Cook's brown sugar cured spiral sliced ham, sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar. 

There's a soup I'm going to bring over so you can try it some time.  It's called "Tomato Basil" from Vons--sounds simple, but it's the most complex, yummiest, most wonderful tomato soup in the world.  You'll never go back to regular tomato soup again.

And the sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar (and marshmallows!) is my favorite part of Thanksgiving.  Good thing I just ate lunch or I'd be raiding the fridge right now. 

Paula Deen says about sweet potatoes

"if you don't have oven space for a sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving  just toss a few sweet potatoes in the back of the oven and let them roast.  When they're done, split them open and slather with cinnamon, honey butter".  Yumm

She WOULD say that.  Wonderful, angellic goddess that she is. 

When I grow up I wanna be Paula Deen and Martha Stewart.  Or at least one of them.

Go for Martha.  She makes more money!

The party is at Cat's house!!!!

Sounds yummy. Can I join the party? It's o.k. to put a football game on the tube and eat in the living room, isn't it?

i have an EASY & amazing recipe for Chicken Enchilada Quiche, i love to make in the fall/winter (since it has to bake for so long)

i am gonna make that this weekend.

last night my hubby made a simple dinner of soup & grilled cheese sandwiches, tasted so good.

Come on by, you guys!   I'll just throw a couple of extra sweet potatoes in the back of the oven.  : )

It's perfectly fine to eat in the living room, catpaw, but we're strict Spongebob watchers around here.  Maybe Scooby Doo, if you're so inclined?

 When I grow up I wanna be Paula Deen and Martha Stewart.  Or at least one of them.

Hell, if I ate everything they make, I'd be BOTH of them.

I have a minestrone recipe that is simply terrific, and served w/ garlic bread, it is heavenly. Schwan's has a tomato-basil soup that is really yummy; I ordered it for lunch at work today.

Share your chicken enchilada receipe goldilox and CB have you tried the "Tomato Basil" soup by Progresso.  The absolute best canned soup I have tasted.  I love the Vons soup as well but if you haven't tried the Progresso, you should. 

I haven't tried the Progresso version, sellsnew, but I'll get it.  The Vons kind has to be refrigerated, but Progresso will be good to keep around in the pantry for when I need my tomato-basil soup fix.

ghost--I still haven't tried the Schwan's one yet! 

Polenta and chicken cacciatore .... polenta:something so simple as cornmeal,butter,sauteed onions,chicken broth and fresh Parmesan...but more addictive than heroin.

Does anyone out there want the recipe for Crock Pot Orange Chicken....

I do.  I love orange chicken.  Post it here for all of us Ling.

Sage

I like the sound of the ingredients but you didn't say whether it's fried, boiled,  baked or what.  ; )

I forget not all of you are food obsessed like me...it is slowly cooked,stirred the whole time, in a saucepan on a low boil for about 20 minutes. Or you can cheat and buy it pre-made in a roll ( deli section ), or let the microwave do the cooking for you.

The sitting and stirring is a pain ,but the results are heavenly.

Here it goes....

6 boneless-skinless-chicken breast halves

Canola oil

1 (1ounce) packet onion soup mix

1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate,thawed

Brown chicken breasts in little oil in skillet and place in sprayed,large crock pot

Combine onion soup mix-orange juice concentrate and 1/2 cup water in bowl and pour over chicken

Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 5 hours---serves 6

I love this book because it doesn't break the bank--try that over some white rice someday....

I'm doing garlic & rosemary pork chops tonight...

Tomorrow night's Drinking Liberally.. so it's wings for us (still attempting the low carb deal)

Friday I'm thinking of a meatloaf, low carb of course.

~FSG~........(slobber-slobber)..TWO thumbs up from the LING....

We're taking the party to FSG's house!

I did my favorite pork chop recipe a few nights ago. Pork chops w/ spiced apples. My hubby loved it...he ate three chops! Served it with a vegetable couscous...yummy!

I made Chili and corn bread, my boys are still warm and full. they lookso cute bloated on the couch.

Ghost has some good recipes i can tell

Cooking is the only thing I will actually tell anyone I am REALLY good at. :)

Ghost ~ Hells Kitchen has Open Call coming up !  Go get 'em !

Oh, that cooking show? I don't think that would work. I am horribly camera-shy, and I stutter if I have to speak in front of a crowd. My luck I would set the place on fire because my hands were shaking too badly.

LOL Ghost~that would not be my problem with that show. I am afraid my niceness would implode all over Gordon Ramsey! I've worked with chefs like him and I can not tolerate that behavior.

I have a chuck roast in the crock pot as we speak.  Meat, topped with a packet of Lipton Onion Soup, some of that Worschetawhatever sauce, garlic, salt & pepper.  I change it up sometimes.  Today I just used barbeque sauce, onion, garlic and some peppercorn meat marinade.  Shreds easily when done for sandwiches or burritos.  Yum...

DL tomorrow???  I will attempt to attend :)

mrs e...I get off work in ten minutes...maybe I'll stop by and pig out! ;P

(slobber-slobber---slurp---slobber-slobber-----be lch)

We had chili two nights ago and chicken pot pie last night. My mom combined two chili recipes and just threw a bunch of stuff together. For some reason one of them called for cinnamon, so that's what she threw in there. "Am I crazy, or do I smell cinnamon in my chili?" I could taste it, too, but it wasn't gross or anything. Just different. She also used beer in it.

Ugh. I think I'm getting sick and my head hurts, so I'm getting off the computer. Please excuse any silly typos, because I just don't feel well enough to reread what I've written. 

Man, you guys are so much more adventurous in your cooking than I am.  I've HEARD of polenta, but I've never had the nerve to actually cook it.  And pork chops with apples sounds awesome, but I've never tried that.  I just always make pork chops the same two ways, over and over.

Once again--I need to BRANCH OUT!  I must be boring my family to death.  Haha!

For me, fall means zucchini muffins and zucchini bread. Maybe tomorrow I'll bake some tomorrow or over the weekend.

Cat...you should try that pork chop with spiced apple recipe. I will get it for you this weekend. It looks and tastes fancy but is so easy to do! Guaranteed to impress. I have a few that you might like to try, actually.

I have tried cinnamon in chili. Emeril's recipe uses it. You are right, it is different.

Sounds good, ghost.  : )

Today is bright and sunny so I'm going to do a light dessert tonight--jello cubed and stirred with Cool Whip.  It's supposed to be low-cal, too.  Not if you eat 5 servings of it!  ; )

Going to Crock Pot some Chicken Mole before Tai Chi class tonight....

 Today is bright and sunny

Yeah...bummer. I should move to Oregon or Washington; I have heard that it rains a lot there. I would love that.

My hubby made a pie (yes, really) over the weekend and it was really yummy and so easy. Cool whip, frozen berries and apple jelly, melted. Mix together and pour into a premade crumb crust; chill. That's it, and my son just loves it. This is lowfat too.

I hate to admit it, Ling, but I am not even sure what chicken mole is.  I'm not kidding.

ghost--I saw a recipe in my mom's magazine yesterday that looked soooo easy, and I forgot to write it down.  It was a pumpkin/pecan pie--no-bake.  Dang it!  I'm going to have to remember to get it when I go back over there. 

I think I'll make your pie with frozen blueberries, since they are they kids' favorite.  How much apple jelly and cool whip did he use? 

Ask ANY Mexican...it is SOOO good....LING IS YOUR FRIEND and would never steer you wrong---and it is sooo easy to make in the crock pot--

Serve over rice----

He used a whole standard-size bowl of CoolWhip and half a small jar of apple-cinnamon jelly. The cinnamon added a nice spice to it. He used mixed berries, but blueberries would be yummy; just add as much as you like. He heard this one from one of his customers, and my son loved it so much that he sat and ate half the pie!

Is it just me--or do we need another get-together before it gets too cold-(which can be fixed with some Tree-Frogs)..and bring your best crock-pot dish....or is this too sudden on such short notice...

Catherine, mole (pronounced moe-lay) has chocolate. Need more be said than that?

Mole has Chocolate?!?!?  And I've never heard of it?!?  How can this be?  LOL!  Thanks, Shwaine. 

I was going to do some baking today but I got sucked into the Youtube vortex and have been watching Depeche Mode videos all day.  All day long.  I guess I had just forgotten how hot Dave Gahan was.  It's like it's all new to me now.

Gotta get off the computer and get cracking now, though.  This laundry won't fold itself.  : )
