What are you cooking?

[gimme301]

Bisquick is not something I've used for anything. I bought some 1 time to make sausage & cheese appetizers, but bugs got it before I could try my friend's recipe.

Well, they're high in protein, so it would have been a way to get good grub for your muscles. Ba da bum!
Thank you, I'll be here all week!

Bisquick is the bachelor's buddy. There's nothing you can't make with the stuff. It even works in the deep fryer when you're drunk and crave chicken "corn" dogs.

Just out of the blue, but has anyone here tried this EggLife pasta? its SO good. I am insulin-resistant, meaning no bread or pasta for me. Well, this tastes almost just like it, nostalgia trip for sure! I have been mixing this with spaghetti squash and alfredo sauce, might sound weird but after warmed in the skillet its so good!

LOL, @Fishmanic, chili is made for freezing! Some recipes are from the "olden days" when tomatoes were more acidic than our modern types. That's why canning them is different too. I really do want to hear how it turns out & what quantities you decide on. I might try dark beer...I'm not much of as beer drinker, dark on rare occasions.

I'm jealous of your leftover cottage pie!! I make enough for 2 dinners & maybe a brunch for 1.

We're have big semi-deluxe salad for dinner. We both had large but different lunches

Edit: I apparently didn't hit "post" a few days ago for this, oops

Whitecloud, I'll have to look for that pasta. Is it just in regular grocery stores or did you have to order it? My husband is on the cusp of diabetes but loves pasta. We do whole wheat, sometimes with half regular. Not sure he'd go for spaghetti squash, he wasn't at all receptive when I've suggested it. My sister said chick pea pasta is slimy & gross, no thanks.

We're having spaghetti & meatballs tonight, I'm not sure we have any ww pasta. I'm sure gimme will be disappointed there's no pineapple or Bisquick involved

I get it at Publix, but maybe Ingals has it to, depending on your area! But there are 3 flavors, savory herb, sun-dried tomato, and the OG plain.

Lol I am so close to being diabetic, and the stuff I eat, you would think I am!

The other individual casserole dishes I wanted arrived today. They look even better than I thought from the pictures. I didn't notice the black trim when I ordered but it makes for a nice accent. They are 6x4x2 inches in size. They are listed as dishwasher safe but I'll probably wash by hand. I also have a few pans I won't put in the washer.

 

[fishorama 10]

Those look nice, Jay. Maybe mini-meatloaf size too?

We're having black bean & gr. beef tacos tonight, I need some cheese!

 

[jaylach2 137]

I could see that but, for that, I'd probably use the larger ones to have a dinner and sandwich the next day. I'm talking about the pair I initially ordered and one being broken.

Now that I have these I wish I would have spent not many more dollars for a 6-pack instead of the 4-pack I got but 4 will do me fine.

Also, these new ones pass the tests as to being porcelain. Both sets of baking dishes use ceramic and porcelain like they are the same thing and they mostly are. If you don't know, stoneware, ceramic and porcelain are all just different levels of refinement of ceramics with porcelain being the highest level.

 

[fishorama 10]

Yeah, I don't know the ins & outs of ceramics either. My general idea is stoneware really weighs a ton. In my younger married years, we had dishes of it & even then a stack of plates was heavy! Porcelain maybe too delicate for a klutz like me. I like Pyrex & Corelle ware, not so heavy or as breakable. I have some wedding gifts from almost 50 years ago with only a couple chipped lid edges.

I'm not judging your meat-eating habits, but using 2lbs of beef I make at least 3 or more likely 4 loaves for 2 of us with only a bit leftover for the next day

 

[Fishmanic21 137]

Made salmon with maple/mustard/mayo/garlic sauce yesterday. Today, I will have the leftovers with side of mashed potato with gravy and a small amount of broccoli.

 

[jaylach2 137]

Got my new glasses today and love them. Here is my bistro style dinette. Bistro style just means that it is taller than a normal table. New glasses and casseroles included although the casserole dishes will probably be removed as they just stand out too much. I don't normally use the table for eating but like it to look set and nice.

LOL! Just for grins this is one of my kitchen walls. None of the gloves or utensils actually get used, just decoration.

 

[Fishmanic21 137]

Seeing you’re showing your dining area, here is my diner styled kitchen dining area. I have an Amazon Alexa behind the jukebox. I can play music on the Alexa and you’d think it’s coming from the jukebox.
The working tv is a mid 1980s model that gives the dining area a touch of nostalgia.
The diner model is actually also a working telephone. The interior of the diner model has an amazingly detailed diner scene.

The top of the diner model lifts off and is the telephone handset with pushbutton dialing.

LOL! make that 2 pounds of beef and 1 pound of pork for a total of 3 pounds. This is NOT what I'd do with the new casserole dishes. When I said 3 pounds of meat that was for doing in a tube pan with most being bagged and frozen for future use. With the new, small, casserole dishes the meat amount would be MUCH less. The idea of the small casserole dishes is to just make small without doing for freezing. These dishes will mostly be for things like baked ziti and/or chicken parm but could also be good for many other 1-serving dishes such as roasted veggies.

It has to be remembered that the Navy Blue larger dishes are only 16 ounces and the white with black trim are only 12 ounces. They are small dishes.

I have 3 sizes of vintage Corningware containers with pyrex clear covers which are very versatile. They can go from freezer to stovetop or microwave to oven/broiler with no issues. And they’re easy to clean.
Original CorningWare (produced roughly 1958–2000) is made of Pyroceram, a white, glass-ceramic material originally developed for missile nose cones. This non-porous material is famous for resisting extreme thermal shock, allowing it to move directly from the freezer to the stovetop, oven, or broiler

• Composition:Pyroceram is a glass-ceramic hybrid, offering the strength of ceramic and the durability of glass
  .
• Thermal Shock Resistance: It can withstand rapid temperature changes of up to 840∘F or 448∘C

Not sure how to deal with cleaning the new blue streak glasses I received today. The item description states dish washer safe but the Libbey care guide says hat decorated glasses should only be hand washed to maintain the decoration color. The thing is that they don't specify exactly what decorated means. The blue streak in these glasses seems to be embedded in the glass so dish washer is probably OK as it isn't an external added tint. Still I'll hand wash to be safe. At the same time I'll put one of the smaller rock glasses in the washer and leave for many cycles to see if any difference appears.
