What’s for Dinner Wednesday. Krisco at Crib Ceiling does this little thing, and it may actually get me out of my rut. Now if I can just get her to post recipes that will jive with Leanne’s pounds2go, my life may be perfectly in sync, all cacooned by blogland. If only someone had a foolproof way to get and stay organized. And teach my children. And oh, guarantee every day to be a good hair day.
Anyway, did an impromptu Shepherd’s Pie last night. For you veggies, I suppose you can sub with Boca or other meat-like products. I truly don’t know what to do with the vegan aspects…no practice there (if you do, R2K, post it and let those fellow vegans know!). Had browned ground beef, lean. About a pound. Added leftover saugage, browned, about 1/2 a pound. Corn, chopped carrots, onion and garlic to taste. About 2 cups of beef broth, and 3-4 T. of flour. Simmered 5-10 minutes, covered. Salt, pepper, celery salt, thyme, pinch of ground cloves to taste. Top with quick biscuit mix, mixed according to directions, and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake 40 min. or so at 350. No hard rules, here. Hubby and I loved it. Kids turned up noses at stuff they couldn’t recognize, but that’s no real surprise. If it’s not chicken or mac, they are suspicious. I just let’em go hungry (no need to report me, I’ll take my case to the highest court in the land), and they eat a great breakfast the next morning. I’m done with many mini meals!
