Whats for Supper...

[BrotherTony]

Tonight it's a meatloaf with peppers and onions, mac & cheese, and butter beans. I'm going to pop in some brown and serve rolls as well!

[BrotherTony]

Tonight we're having cheeseburgers, fried onions, and potato chips and cranberry, white chocolate chip, oatmeal cookies for dessert!

This evening we're having baked chicken thighs, green beans, and carrots.

Cooked a small turkey yesterday; so tonight had open faced, hot turkey sandwiches.

Hubs gets a hankering every once in a while for Taco Bell, so he brought that home with him (not the whole place, just some of the food lol).

Today I'm crocking 1/2 a good sized chuck roast, onions, potatoes, celery, and garlic. I would have added carrots, but we forgot to pick some up at the store last week and we didn't have any frozen or canned available. If the brown and serve rolls are still good, there will be a couple of those as well!  Oatmeal, cranberry, white chocolate chip cookies for dessert! YUM!

Tonight I experimented. I was a bit worried in that, I have never done this before, or even heard of anything like it.

I like seafood, especially clams and shrimp. Soooo I decided to make an experimental clam sauce to go over thin spaghetti. It turned out absolutely wonderful. Here is how I did it.

1 can Italian white clam sauce
1 can chopped clams
1 can whole baby clams
1 jar Ragu  Alfredo sauce
3 tsp. clam base added to 2 cups water
1 pound medium frozen shrimp
1 pound thin spaghetti
Strain and drain all the canned clams into a bowl, leaving only the liquid in the bowl
set the clam solids aside
mix flour with some of the liquid clam liquid, like you were making gravy

Pour the water with clam base into a sauce pan, bring to an almost boil
add the jar of Ragu Alfredo; bring to a light boil
now turn up the heat like you do for gravy and add the flour and clam liquid
experiment with the flour mix for how thick or thin you want the sauce
when fully mixed, add the clam solids and shrimp
shrimp cook fast, so don't over-do it, the sauce is already very hot

I cook the spaghetti while I am making the sauce, that way both are done at the same time

We had our family gathering last night. And so we had dinner...tacos, fajitas, and chicken enchilada soup. And lots of desserts - cake, pies, cookies, candy. Ugh! 

Best of all, we got to talk about Jesus, sing some carols, and give gifts to those we love.

We're having something different this year. We decided on BBQ ribs, potato salad, blackeye peas, and pumpkin or pecan pie for dessert! YUM!

That does sound yum! Tonight we'll be having the standard: ham & turkey, dressing, mashed taters and gravy, veggies, rolls. My brother is here visiting and my mom and I want to make sure his entire Christmas is memorable (he's had a rough year, c-19 aside). It will just be the four of us (hubs, me, mom, my bro) as our son has decided he'd rather spend the evening with his fiancée. Go figure. lol

All that still sounds good! We just wanted something "out of the ordinary!" I just wouldn't understand why an engaged young couple would want to spend time together on Christmas! LOL  He's lucky his mother understands. Merry Christmas!

They've really enjoyed the last couple of days. Brunch with her family yesterday morning, dinner with ours last night, and now the evening. They won't be getting married until June, so they do need to spend that time together. They make such a cute couple.

Tonight I did pan fried sea bass fillet over a bed of steamed julienne vegetables with buttered home made whole wheat bread.

Hey! Not only does this sound delicious, but it's good to see you posting. Hope all is well with you and your wife.

Oh boy! That's sounds wonderful! I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I love sea bass. Your diet for the evening sounds like it was quite healthy! We hope you had a Merry Christmas.
