Loving Home

The other night I cook an 11.6 lb turkey. It was falling off the bone almost when I served it at dinner along with stuffing and green beans. A little taste of heaven ... yummm We have had turkey sandwiches today and tonight I think I am going to try turkey tetranzzi. I have found a new recipe that sounds good and I have all of the ingredients. :) If it is a keeper I will post the recipe. What are some of the things that you like to fix with cooked turkey? I will sometimes make a "thanksgiving" casserole. I also like to fix turkey stir-fry. Tomorrow I might serve some turkey with baked potatoes and carrots. Yummy

This week is starting off cool and crisp and will end in the mid 70s. I wish the weather will make up its mind. So our menus for the week will be as such: Monday - taco soup Tuesday - Chicken, new potatoes and green veggie Wednesday - Baked pasta (we are having company) and salad Thursday - Shake and Bake chicken, new potatoes and veggie Friday - mom and dad eat out, kids on their own Saturday - homemade pizza Sunday - sloppy joes The sloppy joes are not from a can. I make it from scratch. It is so easy. Sloppy Joes 3/4 lb ground meat 1/2 cup black beans 1 small onion chopped 1 green pepper chopped 1 c ketchup 1/4 c brown sugar 1/4 c white vinegar chili powder to taste I brown the ground meat, add veggies and cook until veggie are crisp. I then add the black beans mashing them as I work them in. I then add the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar. Once this has heated up I add the chili powder and continue to cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Serve on hamburger buns...
