Hello fellow cheffers- how are you all doing?
I've been away for a bit as I threw my back out (for the second time in about 6 weeks) so I've been happily doped up and in bed for the past week, but I'm happy to say that I'm sober today and feeling pretty good...well I was good until I read Ms. Jean's thread and found out I'm addicted to carmex, kleenex, and pepto bismol, but I'm a trooper, so I'll get through this disturbing discovery with expensive therapy and bags of M&M's!
Since my sister and niece came to stay with us, and I am still unemployed I am finding it difficult to come up with affordable, yet satisfying meals to cook for all of us. I've been through all my PC cookbooks, and we've done most of what I know everyone will eat/like at least twice and I'm in need of some menu ideas/recipes from you guys.
I could easily go to Allrecipies.com, or another recipe site, but I trust you guys and if you say your picky eaters LOVE it, well then I'm up for trying it. If it is easier, feel free to email me your recipes at [email protected]- or just share it here for everyone else to enjoy.
It doesn't have to be a PC recipe, in fact I'd prefer if it weren't. It just has to be hearty (meaning I don't want a recipe for a whimpy salad, or a cheese sandwich, but need something substantial with some meat/protein in it. If you give me the main entree, I can figure out what side dishes will go best with it)
My hubby would be so happy with steak and baked potatoes every night, but since the arrival of my sister and niece, our grocery bill is about $700.00 each month, so steak is now a luxury. I can't believe how much my sister eats, and milk is about $4.59 per gallon here, and they drink an awful lot of milk. Don't get me started on how much toilet paper and kleenex they go through too! UGH...
Anyway, I need recipes and ideas because I really need to get groceries either tomorrow or Saturday because tonight I had to make pancakes because I'm fresh out of ideas, and the fridge is getting bare.
Thanks for the help in advance- I can't wait to see what you have for me!
