Okay - skip the rosemary herb mix......I just picked some fresh rosemary, parsley, thyme, and basil - so I will be doing my own fresh herb seasoning on my roasted veggies...along with fresh sliced tomatoes from my garden! The first of the season, WAHOO!

And for lunch, I am having Cascade Fresh Lemon Yogurt (natural brand sweetened with only fruit) with a bowl of freshly picked black raspberries from my garden!

I am loving my garden today!:love:

Some vodka is made from potatoes, molasses, soybeans, grapes, sugar beets and sometimes even byproducts of oil refining or wood pulp processing. ...

 

[chefann]

hmm... I have to make something that has reheatable leftovers, so DH has food for his lunch tomorrow and while I'm at Conference. We just had One Pot Pasta a week ago, but I guess I could make it again. He likes that, and with just 2 of us, there are a lot of leftovers.

Cascade has a lemony fresh dishwashing detergent...that's why we were giggling at the name of your yogurt- it sounded like dishwashing detergent!

Glad it was yummy however!

NO MORE SQUASH! We have a psycho squash plant in our garden that we KILLED last year and it came back! (shhh- if I talk about it, it hears me and grows another foot!) yikes!

OK, tonight I plan on making the Ham and Cheese Brunch Squares for the first time. Does anyone have any tips?

 

[rennea]

I've never made the Hame and Cheese Squares, they sound good though. You'll have to let me know how they turn out.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Sorry Rennea! I am just very uninspired to come up with good lowfat recipes. I LIKE fat! Any lowfat recipe I make is that way because it would naturally be lowfat, but I'm not great at taking good recipes and turning them lowfat.I think what I am having for dinner tonight is pretty healthy...and probably lowfat. BBQ'd chicken, roasted veggies w/ fresh herbs, and sliced tomatoes and basil with balsamic dressing.....but I don't have a recipe for any of it - I'm just making it!

 

[Kitchen Diva]

Rennea, I agree with the rambles or post whatever the heck you want!

Did you click on that link I provided for low fat recipes? I am with Becky on the, I don't make it low fat unless it already is on purpose. LOL

I've made these twice. I use 3 cups of the cheese instead of 2. Everyone liked it better with bacon. If you precook your bacon, I don't think it's critical to cook them in the saute pan with the green onions. I also put the tomatoes on top right before it went into the oven. (My sister hates raw tomatoes and my husband thought it's weird to have a warm dish with a cold topping on it.) Make sure to use name brand toaster hash brown patties. I used the store brand ones the first time and they were flavorless. Second time was with Ore-Ida and they were good. Everyone at the show loved it!

When I made this for dinner the first time to try it out, I didn't feel satisfied with it as a dinner. It seemed that I needed something else to go along with it. Fruit, rolls, or something else.

Hope you have success!

I LOVE fat...just not on my face, thighs, stomach or toosh! Shoo-fat, shoo!

 

[crystalscookingnow]

I've made the squares before, but I used sausage. They turned out really yummy that way. I did use the green onions with the sausage. Tried it once with the ham & it seemed kinda rubbery to me.

 

[merego]

I made a lowfat chicken and cheese cassarole, however, no fat sour cream, low fat cheese and low fat crackers don't cook up to well, so it was more like soup. I knew that but wasn't thinking. We put it over noodles and it still tasted good.
DH and kids had rolls, I skipped the bread, ate too many cookies today. We are going out for a walk soon, it was a beautiful day here today

 

[JAE]

I need to make something with Ground Turkey. I probably don't have anything to go with it. I'll go look in the cupboards. I'll be having salad.

OK, I have made them, ate some and put the leftovers away. The hashbrown/cheese crust didn't have much flavor. :grumpy: Maybe a national brand is better? I added Swiss cheese to the top after baking. I still felt like it was missing something though. The recipe didn't call for any salt. I think it needed some. I read some of you adding bacon or sausage. Maybe that is where I can get some salt. It was pretty in appearance. :love:

I was going to suggest that you use Southwestern Seasoning Mix to add some flavor. I didn't think it had enough flavor when I made it for us.

That's how I felt the first time I made it. The second time using brand name and the bacon made a huge difference. Salt, that's probably it! Definitely looked great. I also think it is better eaten as a breakfast or brunch type meal, served with fruit also. For dinner, it just doesn't hit the spot. Can't quite figure out why, since I do breakfast for dinner once a week. Maybe because it's more work than just pancakes or waffles. And then after all that it's not quite enough? I don't know...

tonight was a can of ravioli and a cold beer the boys are at work and DD is at camp. I told my DH this is what dinner will be like when she graduates in 3 years.
of course when middle son comes home at 3:30 in the morning he'll come into our room to ask what dinner was and what he can reheat.
