Tasty Tuesday!! - 8.2.16

Welcome to our first Tasty Tuesday thread!! Please post recipes that you are loving, anything at all! I was thinking at some point we may start a freezer meal thread specifically so that we can search for just those recipes for those planning on stocking the freezer prior to these babes making their appearance. 

With no further ado, let's see 'em!!!

  • @jennbaylor12, I was just gathering Freezer meals to try out for when Emma gets here.

    One of my favorite that I make is a Cheesy Pork Bean stew.

    1 pork roast, thawed and cubed
    2 cans Ranch Style beans
    1 can Black beans
    1 can Kidney/White/pinto beans
    1 bottle taco sauce
    2 small cans enchilada sauce
    1 can olives
    1 can diced tomatoes
    1 1/2 cup cheese diced
    1 8oz block cream cheese
    Avacado and Sour Cream to taste - if wanted

    Pour the ranch beans into the crockpot. Layer the pork, tomatoes, and other beans (rinsed). Pour Taco sauce and Enchilada sauce over the top.
    Set crockpot on low, leave alone 4-6 hrs.
    Add in olives, cheese, and cream cheese in. stir until melted and mixed. 

    Top with Avacado or Sour Cream if wanted.
    Serve over warm rice, pasta, or cut up kale.  You can also cut out one can of E.S. and make a really thick dip for chips.

    or you're all the way grown,
    my promise to you
    is you're never alone.
    You are my angel, my darling,
    my star...and my love will find you,
    wherever you are."
  • My go-to granola:
    1/2 cup peanut butter
    1/2 cup maple syrup
    3 tbsp olive oil
    4 cups regular rolled oats
    2 cups other goodies (nuts, coconut, pumpkin seeds - not dried fruit)
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/2 tsp cinnamon (can throw in a dash of ginger & nutmeg too)

    Mix PB, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla & cinnamon. Add oats and mix thoroughly, then add in nuts/seeds/coconut and stir. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Add dried fruit after it cools.

    You can bake it on cookie sheets but sometimes it burns, so I've started doing it in a large casserole dish. Doesn't get quite as crispy but doesn't burn.

    Mm, gotta make a batch tonight...

  • OMG. I am going to live here. Thanks for starting this thread! I will come back w/my additions! :)

    I'm making Sticky Sesame Cauliflower over rice tonight. Rice is simmering as we speak so we won't have to wait on it come suppertime.

  • I keep attempting new recipes in hopes something will be good since I don't love anything right now. I finally got a winner this week!

    French dip sandwiches 
    in crockpot: (I eyeball so these are approximate measurements)
    beef chuck roast
    2 cants beef broth
    1/4 cup soy sauce 
    2 beef bullion cubes
    garlic powder
    montreal steak seasoning
    a bay leaf 
    an onion

    cook on low 6 hours

    serve on French bread with provolone

    I also topped with caramalized onions. PITA but worth it: 2 onions, 1 tbs butter, 1tbs olive oil, 1tsp sugar. Cooked on low for about an hour
  • People should set up meal trains for when you are pregnant. Like I can't get out of bed. 
  • This is a great idea!  Made this recipe this week and was shocked at how good it was!

     https://allrecipes.com/recipe/16715/vegetarian-chickpea-sandwich-filling/

    Seriously, I feel like I could eat it everyday.  I also put an extra tablespoon of mayo and an extra 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice, extra dill, a clove of garlic and used garlic salt instead of regular salt.  Play with spices to get the flavor you want. I served it on a pita cut into triangles and toasted. 
  • @slartybartfast  - I actually had lucky charms for dinner last night.  Lol  My husband had chili dogs.  I hate hot dogs so I ate cereal.

  • Here's something I mentioned making not too long ago, Lemony Stir Fry Chicken. I'm not a huge asparagus fan so I usually substitute green beans. I steam them a little first so they have the perfect amount of crunch. And I prefer olive oil to canola oil. I serve over a bed of brown rice. So yummy!
