I know what ya mean, I cooked tonight because I was off work today and the wifey had to work. Bakers-6 Stir Fry sounds about right I just made it up as I went because it sounded good. :D

[LAF 1]

What you made sounds good also ,I think it does sound like stir fry .Did you have any rice with it ?

[Tim 0]

Nope no rice, I wanted some but we are trying to watch the high carb stuff for a couple of weeks. The wife is a diabetic and my blood glucose level get a little wacky if I over indulge in rice, taters, breads, and sweets (which I do too often. We are basically following the South Beach Diet Phase 1 which is low carb but not as drastic or fatty as Atkin's. It is basically lean meats, green veggies, good fats/oils (Olive oil etc...) No taters, rice, bread, or other food high in simple carbs. The next phase is all of the above good stuff with select carbs including whole grains added back in moderation.

On the diabetic issue, some say it is okay to eat whatever you want as long as you cover it with insulin. While that does keep blood sugar levels in check IF it is done correctly (with many people like my wife control is much more difficult), the main focus in control of diabetes is keeping blood sugars from spiking at all. It is much easier to maintain proper levels with a good steady diet that is low in simple sugars.

Tonight we had italian herb marinated chicken breasts on the grill and baked potated. Too hot to cook inside this past few days so the grill is getting a workout.

Tonight we had hamburgers... and left over mashed potatoes :roll: I know, what a strange combo... but I wanted to use uo the rest of the taters!!! It is about one of the only leftovers that we will eat!!!! I think that it is to hot to grill out...I keep my house at 65 degrees, so I would much rather cook INSIDE :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[Guest Guest]

steak, corn on the grill and cucumbers and onions.

It is way too hot to cook

Yep, Friday is our Pizza night too. :D Hubby picked up a 16-incher from Kroger (a take-n-bake). It was good, and we have half of it left which we'll probably have tomorrow night after we get home from fishing. :D

[i](unless of course we catch a big one :wink: )[/i]

Tonight is Frito Pie, Peas, and some kind of dessert... not sure what yet!!! :mrgreen: and SWEET tea!!!!!

[Lori Wilkerson 0]

Roast pork, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, and squash.

Stacey, how do you make your frito pie?

[Flourgirl 0]

Frito Pie is very easy to make!

You are just layering things..

In a greased pan....

Layer Fritos on the bottom
Then spread chili over the fritos(you can make your own chili or you can use a canned chili) I use about 3-4 cans depending on the size that I am making at the time.
Then you spread cheese over the chili layer...

You do the layering twice.... the last time crunch up some Fritos for the top...

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until bubbling on the top.

You can garnish with sour cream... and sometimes we use salsa...

I usually serve a green veggie to go with it... a salad would be nice!

[Lori Wilkerson 0]

Thanks, Stacey, it sounds good. My kids would love it. We really like anything that has a Mexican flair to it. Last night I made homemade enchiladas. It is my son Caleb's favorite meal!!

[Flourgirl 0]

Last night was pizza... Tonight we are grilling out hamburgers and hotdogs, also having potato salad, and banana pudding(a dessert staple in the SOUTH :mrgreen: ) My hubby loves banana pudding!

[Chelle 1]

Tonight we'll grill the other 3 steaks, with a vegetable (most likely squash, peppers, and onions from our garden) and some type of side dish (either pasta or rice). We're staying home today and relax'n. :D

[Flourgirl 0]

Tonight we had burgers and fries! Nothing fancy, just something quick and easy!

I'm for that, Flourgirl. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

We had a humongous roaster pan filled with my wife's Four Bean Casserole. It's essentially homemade baked beans by any other name, but there're four different varieties including brown sugar, bacon, ground beef, BBQ sauce, smoke flavor (if you like that) and worcestshire sauce. It is sooooooooooo gooood. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[Guest Guest]

It was pizza tonight (DiGiorno's Thin & Crispy crust with extra salami added by us :D ). We usually wait for Friday nights to have pizza but we just couldn't wait. :D We also had sliced mangoes and strawberries with vanilla yogurt poured over them.
