Save them till spring and plant them :-D
One of my favorites us kids called stone soup growing up (wasn't no stone in it though) poor people food Lol, mom would roll up hamburger into little balls and cook it in water with diced potatoes about the same size. Burger and potato soup I guess nothing else in it but salt and pepper.
I still make it once in a great while but add chopped onions also, mom and dad would never cook or eat onions in anything, they're weird.

I must be weird. I can't stand them. My mom will make a sandwich with mayo and just a slice of onion or onion and tomato no meat. My dad would eat one like an apple. I'm Not even a fan of salsa.lol
But I do a lot of cooking and a season all or cavender's greek seasoning being the only thing with onion powder. And everyone love's it. I even ordered the potato salad for my wedding without it, and the beans to be kept to a minimum.

You have beans in your potato salad?

I think that was mentioned more as " keep the onions in the beans to a minimum ".. not sure though, some people do eat odd stuff.

Using plenty of onions and garlic in a creamy potato broccoli chicken soup today!

Also making homemade bread today....the house is smelling GOOD. This cold weather brings out the cook in me and a desire to have rich, heavy, hot foods.

Correct. We had catered baked beans and the potato salad. I did cook a pig, 4 of my cockerels that I butchered and a neighbor donated a deer hind quarter. It was a good feast. could've been better if I didn't have to take so many pics afterwards and got back to the pit before I blackened one chicken and the bottom of the pig. Besides a crispy outside the top was amazing.

BeeKissed I'm also wondering what to cook up the next few days. Warm and windy today then a 40 degree drop. It needs to be simple enough that I can teach the DW with out confusing her. Deer roast is on my mind.

Last night was -11*. All night long, the wind was just howling, and didn't stop until mid morning. I was fearful that the wind would blow the grill off the back deck. Mid day, temp in the coop is all the way up to 18*, while it's 2* outside. The chickens are hunkered down in the leaves with their feathers all puffed up. They're telling me that they are COLD!!

And my silly group, with outside temps of 18* and a cozy coop full of dry leaves to nestle in, are all roosting on a brush pile in the woods.

They were out foraging yesterday when the wind made it single digits here. I don't think they like being indoors much.

That's an easy one and can be done right in the crockpot, so that shouldn't cause her too many headaches. Deer roast! YUM!

That's why I was thinking crockpot. I've cooked more outside on a fire in the last 5 yrs than she has inside or anywhere besides microwavable dinner her whole life. I like to bring the dutch ovens and cast iron's camping. Moving in with me is a whole new world for her.
