"I can do hard things" - Elaine S. Dalton
I think we are all doing hard things with all that is going on.We need to remember we are not alone. We still have each other, we're all just a touch of a computer away.
I thought I would put a few recipes from my food storage binder here for you....
Hamburger Green Bean Casserole
Brown a pound of hamburger and drain. Place in a 9x13 pan. To this add two cans of drained green beans and two cans of tomato soup, 1/4 tsp of onion salt, this is optional. Mix all together and top with mashed potato leftovers or mix from dry instant potatoes. Bake 350 till potatoes are golden....
I put cheese on the potatoes before baking but you don't have to.
Also, I have used leftover taco meat in place of the hamburger, this is a wonderful version.
Maidrites (a loose meat sandwich in case you don't live in the midwest)
Brown and drain a pound of hamburger, 1 tsp dry onion if you want, I leave it out. Add a can of chicken broth and cook till broth is gone.
Serve on buns like you would hamburgers, same toppings, I like mine plain though.
Dick's Mom's French Dressing
1 c. oil
1 c. ketchup
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. vinegar
1/4 tsp each of garlic powder, celery salt, parsley, dry minced onion
Shake well before using.
I store it in a quart jar, this is a family favorite.
With lettuce growing in the gardens this is a fantastic time for this recipe!
Now is the time for you to be looking through your recipes to find your budget friendly recipes, perhaps what recipes you had in your food storage binder.
Gus says....
We need to stay the course, I suggest you be getting ready for the second wave for the virus in the fall.
Hopefully you have planted some plants to give you food. If you have a garden then you are a busy bee! Be studying how to do things like blanching and freezing or dehydrating or canning, these would all be worthy to learn right now.
Missy says don't let all this get you down. Yes, it is a bit more work but you can keep pushing on no matter what.
So I thought I would give you pics of around the house...

ReplyDeleteIf you are talking about the basket in the rocking chair with the throw over the arm I made the basket the throw I got for a dollar at a yard sale it had a spot that came undone but I fixed it. I know it is all very sad what is happening in the USA very sad indeed. We are just heading into summer here and while all this is happening the virus is still killing people they are saying there will be a surge of virus in the fall I just think it has been steady so we have to keep an eye on it
DeleteCUANTA MALDAD QUE HAY POR DIOS, TANTA VIOLENCIA, DIOS NOS GUARDE. ¿PUEDES PASAR POR MI BLOG? MUCHAS GRACIAS.
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks fantastic I like the picture of you in the kitchen
DeleteI love the pics, so adorable. love the coasters, mine dont look cute. You are amazing thanks for teaching us so many skills. I made up 10 of the bread mixes, we use them almost daily. I used a gingerbread mix,I had made up more than a year ago and it was still fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI made up five just the other day and made cinnamon swirl bread yesterday sooooo good I bet your coasters look great thank you so much sharing the bread machine recipes with us
DeleteI love seeing the photos around your home. It’s very charming
ReplyDeleteWith all the mass gatherings going on now, a second wave of the virus is pretty much for sure now.
thank you... my thoughts are it will be harder and we should be preparing
DeleteI see Iowa in your pictures. Been a long time since I have been there but I was born there and moved away when I was nine.
ReplyDeletewhen this pandemic is over it will be time for you to visit iowa again
DeleteI've never heard the term Maidrites but I grew up eating ground beef mixed with Campbell's french onion soup and a little flour to thicken it as a sandwich.....so good!
ReplyDeleteit is a great loose meat sandwich totally different then a sloppy joe maidrite is a chain here one can go eat these at i ate there once as a little girl loved it would ask my mom if she could make them she just browned and crumbled hamburger it was nothing like it and tasted greasy i don't think she drained it i would get sick eating those so running across this recipe was a happy day for me
DeleteBECKI: VEO QUE ELIMINASTE ESE COMENTARIO DE UN ANONIMO, YO LO HABIA LEIDO Y ME RESULTO BASTANTE DESAGRADABLE, HAY GENTE QUE LE GUSTA MOLESTAR. BENDICIONES
ReplyDeletesomething triggers it as it is just a spam thing not paying it any attention easy enough to delete it is a machine generated thing somebody made so when it sees a word or phrase it triggers it but i thank you for your kind words
