Been cooking today

I am not sure yet, I think we have enough food in the freezer but flat broke because of the cat. I am happy the cat is going to be alright and that it really didn't cost a whole lot of money but it took the house money never the less. Now he can only eat those expensive cat foods, like science diet. royal canin, nutriscience and iams.

Have all the stuff ready to prepare for Thanksgiving. This week my son cooked. He made two trays of meatballs that we will freeze most of and leave enough out for two meals. He also made Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and corn. And it was great. I made a huge pot of tomato sauce with sausage and pasta. The sauce we will have at least 4 times so half will get frozen for another time or two. If I don't talk to you before hand, I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your family and friends and watch what you eat so you will have a wonderful day and not miss any part of it.

That sounds so good! I love pork steaks, pork Barbecue, ribs, etc. I always like meatloaf too. You are making me hungry and I just ate. hehe If we have to scrimp it will probably be whatever is in the cupboard. I think there is some hotdogs left and tuna fish. The neighbor gave my daughter two food baskets because they are foreighn and do not use our american foods. So we will have canned vegetables and fruit to eat from that. There was also another turkey so that will be good. We have eggs too so many fix eggs and tuna one night if need be. We'll have turkey for a couple of days. We should be okay.

well thats wonderful that you can still do all that cooking and all. i cook some on good days but most days i cant stand around and do all the prep. the kids take turns mostly. we share food money so that helps. but i ended up buying most of the thanksgiving dinner we are going to have. are you eating elsewhere? or having yours there?

Yummy!! reading your discussion made me hungry.. can i have some?? ahah just kidding! For me i only cook rarely since whenever i got home my mother in law already done with the cooking. I just cook when i am in the mood of cooking and also when there are things that i like to eat.

Sounds great to me. Im going to make stuffed bell pepppers with some of the peppers I bought today.

It all sounds so very good. I love to cook up several things at one time and then the work seems much less. I have not had to scrimp, but I still like to save money and time where ever I can. We will be away for Thanksgiving, so that will be this Thursday and Friday. We have eggs, and hubby makes up huge batches of sausage gravy and we freeze it. We use a lot of potatoes.I always buy them on reduced. I bought one of those boneless hams that is $7.98 for six pounds. Cubed half of it, sliced half of it for sandwiches. I had made homemade pizza dough and we used ham, instead of Canadian bacon on it. We will have ham and beans. I have soup and stew in the freezer, and pancakes in the refrigerator. I have a lasagna in the fridge. . . I always make a big one and we get about three meals or even more from it. Oh, I have a pork loin that I cooked with Mexican seasoning and made pulled pork and it lasted us a number of meals.

I'm running low on food too I don't have much left to cook anything until I get paid and that's even If I have money left over after paying bills to buy groceries. I made eggs and toast tonight for dinner since I don't have a whole lot to cook anything else. Tomorrow night my boyfriend and I our making a baked spaghetti casserole I have all the ingredients but 2 things so hes bringing over the 2 I need so we can make it. I'll just be eating sandwhiches and noodles until I can buy some food again. I never go hungry though I just don't have money to buy a whole lot because my bills come first. Your meals sound really yummy and making me hungry. I hope your family enjoys them.

PQ, your recipe sound very delicious to me. I like meatloaf a lot and waiting to taste yours if i have the chance to travel in future. Indeed, you are planning very well, to get all of you through until the end of the month. I am planning very well, as what to buy and eat for all the meals, to make sure we can still eat well until the end of the month. It is very pity if one of the days we are unable to eat well due to wrong planning. Have a nice weekend...

You're doing a lot of cooking and it all sounds really good! I love pulled pork - I can eat it without the sauce - yum yum yum!!! And meatloaf is a great food stretcher . . . you can add bread, egg, and all sorts of veggies to make it "bigger"! I've seen ones that have boiled eggs in the center, but haven't tried that. I know things are tight over yonder, but sounds like you're making it work. We're doing pretty good - cannot complain about things this year. I lucked out with Thanksgiving this year. My parents are doing the turkey, as usual, but it's up to use to do the rest. I actually won a Facebook contest from a farm last week and the prize was 3 winter squashes of my choice . . . so guess what, I'm making squash dishes this year - ha ha. One squash can go a long way. I'm planing to make kabocha flan (like a pudding), kabocha soup, roast the seeds, and one other side that I haven't thought of yet. In any case, I can do it with stuff I already have on hand, so this made it tons easier (and saved us $!). Happy Thanksgiving to you and family, PQ!

I admire your stretching money to keep within a budget.I have never seen the meal loaf,let alone eating it.It is surely good to eat.I imagine it is like the meat pie.You know,cooked rice is our daily food.

its making me hungry.. hehhehe.. i'll be making carbonara pasta..
