Hey Allybear - sometimes ya gotta go to McDoodles! Once in awhile I have to go through the drive in for a happy meal!Originally Posted by allybear
I was glad to make dinner tonight - yesterday I had McDonald's for lunch and pizza for dinner, and I had a slice of the leftover pizza for lunch, so I ate my weekend's worth of takeout!
Merry f'ing Christmas
We had Dominos the other night.
My daughter loves Dominos, but that's not pizza to me. I'm not a big pizza fan but I'd rather have pizzeria pizza than that stuff.

I'm making a pot roast tonight. Hubby bought one for me yesterday. I love pot roast.

I'm having the same thing. I'm really looking forward to it. Pot roast is great.
Burns: I wonder if this Homer Nixon is any relation?
Smithers: Unlikely, sir. They spell and pronounce their names differently.
It really is. It's so easy to make too. My friend couldn't figure out why her pot roast always comes out tough. I went over all the steps with her every time the conversation came up. Finally I figured out that she was adding too much water to the pot (covering the whole roast in water). In essence, she was boiling her roast. Not good.

Nice. I'm making a pot roast in the crockpot later this week...yum.
I think I'm making ravioli tonight - either that or turkey sandwiches and a corn frittata - we had quite a bit of leftover turkey from last night, so....

- I thought it was easy, too, until the first time I made it. Well, it is - I just forgot to braise the roast before the cooking ... ugh - the meat just tasted terrible. It took me a couple weeks to figure out what I did wrong. I guess I never watched my mom do that part.
I'm waiting for it to stay cold before I make a pot roast b/c ... well, I don't know why - it just seems like a cold weather meal to me. Although I really want one know b/c you are all talking about it
Enjoy your roasts!

My mom used to make pot roast in the pressure cooker. I was terrified of that thing!
You know you're an addict when you put Crackbook on your Crackberry. -Toaderly
My mom used the pressure cooker for pot roast too...I never was scared of it, though. I remember the first time I heard they could explode - I was totally amazed. However, I've still never gotten one!

Yeah, the possibility of exploding always scared me, but I always thought that spinny thing was gonna fly off when it got going.

Stuffed salmon tonight
Well, I guess the pot roast will have to wait till tomorrow.
My son has been bugging us to take him to Chuck E. Cheese's for a long time now. We've never been there with him (I used to take my daughter when she was a toddler). So, since hubby got home a little early today, we are going to head up there in a bit so my son can get there before he's too old (as he says!)
You know you're an addict when you put Crackbook on your Crackberry. -Toaderly
OMG. I hate that place. You're a good mom for taking your kids there.

YUM. What are you stuffing it with?Stuffed salmon tonight

Boo! Well, pot roast, I think, tastes better the next day ;-).
I am going to make some fresh guacamole tonight. I just have to figure out what to have with it. Although, I may just have that (with tortillas, of course).
Sloppy Joes...
Bless you! That's cute that your son wants to go there before he's too old, though!

I think it's a breadcrumb/crabmeat stuffing.
Sounds awesome. I love salmon.

Leftover baked ziti from the weekend for the hubbie. Too bad I'm going low carb...... I'll be eating a crustless artichoke quiche.

Be kind. Every person you meet is fighting a hard battle.
Me too. So healthy too.Sounds awesome. I love salmon.
Yeah, it would be better tomorrow, if I had cooked it. But I never did!
I will cook it tomorrow. Definitely.
Chuck E. Cheese must make all their money on the food. What a gyp.
We had 3 personal pizzas, 1 salad bar, 1 ham and cheese sandwich and 5 sodas. It came to 42 friggin dollars. Then we had to buy tokens. Well, we got 12 free with the food. But the tokens weren't as big a rip-off...everything only cost 1 token, so they lasted awhile.
At least the salad bar was all you can eat. It was pretty tasty too.
You know you're an addict when you put Crackbook on your Crackberry. -Toaderly
Me too. Haven't had it in awhile though.Sounds awesome. I love salmon.
I have some bluefish in the freezer from when my friend's hubby went fishing. He gave us 6 good sized filets and I cooked 2 fresh, 2 thawed out and have 2 left. I need to cook them soon.
You know you're an addict when you put Crackbook on your Crackberry. -Toaderly
I love bluefish, but only if I have it within 2 hours of catching it.
How was the salmon?

I'm looking for a really good meatloaf recipe. I tried one that I found and it came out very dry.
Anyone have a good recipe for one here? One where it will be more juicy and moist, but not fall apart? Thanks.
Love my Red Sox Fan
Oh. We're having a turkey roast that we saw at Costco and thought we would try for a change. I'm gonna make a pan stuffing with it. I've got an apple pie in the oven right now for our dinner on Tuesday. Apple Dutch Crumb.
The recipe for stuffing comes from my mom and is really good.

I have a good recipe, but I don't have time to type it out now. I'll post it later todayI'm looking for a really good meatloaf recipe. I tried one that I found and it came out very dry.

This is a Bobby Flay recipie from Food Network. I have made this a few times, and it is fantastic! Even my kids ate it...very moist, and excellent for sandwiches the next day (if it lasts that long). I usually tweek recipies, but this one needs no tweeking.I'm looking for a really good meatloaf recipe. I tried one that I found and it came out very dry.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large zucchini, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 yellow pepper, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, smashed to a paste with coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground veal
1 pound ground beef chuck
1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan
1 cup ketchup, divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the zucchini, peppers, garlic paste, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until almost soft, 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Whisk together the eggs and herbs in a large bowl. Add the meat, bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 cup of the ketchup, 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar, and the cooled vegetables and mix until just combined. Mold the meatloaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk together the remaining ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over the entire loaf. Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
That does sound yummy - we don't do meatloaf much (we love it, it's a matter of not really being supposed to eat any of the meats in it), but I'm going to print that just in case I want to make it.

Mine comes out great. Here's what I do:I'm looking for a really good meatloaf recipe. I tried one that I found and it came out very dry.
Anyone have a good recipe for one here? One where it will be more juicy and moist, but not fall apart? Thanks.
2 pounds 85% beef (get it fresh).
1.5 cups flavored bread crumbs.
1 cup grated Parmesan/Romano cheese.
2 eggs.
1/2 cup Ketchup.
1 onion, chopped.
A little salt, oregano and garlic powder, maybe a touch of Rosemary.
90 minutes at .350 in a deep pyrex dish. Don't drain the oil until you're just ready to serve. If you make a smaller one, take it out earlier or it'll get dry.
Let the kids play.
I'm going to try this Bub. I hate meatloaf but the rest of the fam likes it.
Merry f'ing Christmas
If you really don't like meatloaf, go heavier on the cheese and bread crumbs, and toss in a 3rd egg. The best way to like meatloaf is if it has lots of taste.
Let the kids play.
That's pretty much exactly how I make mine too. I don't measure, so I'm not sure about the amounts, but the ingredients...all the same (no rosemary though).
My mom never made meatloaf with anything but beef. I tried the combination of veal, pork and beef but did not like it.

Never Trust A Man With No Shirt On
I'm home now....Here it is!
Boston Market Meatloaf
1 cup tomato sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Kraft original barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin (10% fat)
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
dash garlic powder
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and sugar in a small saucepan
over medium heat. Heat the mixture until it begins to bubble, stirring
often, then remove it from the heat.
3. In a large bowl, add all but 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce to the
meat. Use a large wooden spoon or your hands to work the sauce into the
meat until it is very well combined.
4. Combine the remaining ingredients with the ground sirloin-- flour, salt,
onion powder and ground pepper. Use the wooden spoon or your hands to
work the spices and flour into the meat.
5. Load the meat into a loaf pan (preferably a meatloaf pan with two
sections which allows the fat to drain, but if you don't have one of
those a regular loaf pan will work). Wrap foil over the pan and
place it into the oven for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, take the meatloaf from the oven, remove the foil and,
if you aren't using a meatloaf pan, drain the fat.
7. Using a knife, slice the meatloaf all the way through into 8 slices
while it is still in the pan. This will help to cook the center of the
meatloaf. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of sauce over the top of
the meatloaf, in a stream down the center. Don't spread the sauce.
8. Place the meatloaf back into the oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or
until it is done. Remove and allow it to cool for a few minutes before
serving.
Serves 4.
Tonight I'm making London Broil...but would much rather be at the stadium eating a sandwich...Last week I had a pastrami on rye there...and enjoyed every morsel!

Thanks to Nancy, Irascible Yankee Fan, Bub, Karen and Trish for all your recipe's and added thoughts about what to add or not add to a meatloaf. They all look so much better than the recipe I used.
We had our turkey dinner but with no stuffing. Also had mashed potato's, gravy, corn and some rice-a-roni that Katelynn likes. We then had some Dutch apple pie for desert. We're having hot cocoa right now.

And dinner was good! I had been gone all day with Ryan and his friends from school. Went to a place called "Boomers." I think that was the name.
Putt-putt, laser-tag, go-carts, video games ... but the food was so so. I had a burger, fries and drink there.

My meatloaf: (actually, it's a variation on the devil, Martha Stewart's, recipe
4 slices white bread, torn into pieces
2 1/2 pounds ground round
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into eighths
2 cloves garlic
parsley ( I just sprinkle some in )
1 large egg
1 cup ketchup (divided--1/2 cup and 1/2 cup)
3 teaspoons dried mustard (divided 2 tsp and 1 tsp)
About a tsp of salt
About a half tsp of pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1. Heat oven to 375. Place bread in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade; pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the ground beef.
2. Place onion and garlic in the food processor bowl and pulse until fine. Add to meat mixture. Add egg, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tsps dry mustard, salt pepper and parsley. Combine thoroughly. Place in a loaf pan. **I don't use a loaf pan myself...I don't like the meatloaf sitting in all that fat. I form a loaf and bake it in a baking pan.
3. Combine remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, remaining tsp of dry mustard, and the brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
4. Spread mixture over meatloaf. Place in oven and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 160, about 90 minutes. If top gets too dark, cover with foil and continue baking.
It's really delicious. It's even better the next day on sandwiches.
