No meat night...what do you make?

[popcornpuppy]

For a no-meat night in our house, I make Pizza. Home made dough, fresh mozzarella (I think I spelled that wrong) cheese and tons of veggies toppings! Spinach, tomato, onion, peppers, broccoli (I have even put shredded carrots on top) It tastes beter than anything delivered

Popcornpuppy-

You sound like my oldest daughter. She has six dogs but they are all strays that she picked up off the road. She finds these pitiful little balls of matted fur and takes them in. She has a Shih Tzu, Miniature Schnauzer, Dalmatian, Chow mix, Doberman mix, and this little yellow dog that's so cute it doesn't even look real. She has found all of them abandoned on the road in the middle of no where...starving and covered in mud, fleas, ticks and usually bleeding somewhere. If she finds any more she's going to have to stop keeping them and find other homes for them.

Some times my kids joke that I cook better for the dogs that I do for them.
Those are the nights that I have to cook something special prepared with alot of TLC.

EGGS, of course!

Fried or scrambled, baked in quiche, soaking entire loaves of bread for French Toast. Tonight I made one of my favorites:

EGG BURRITOS:

Scramble a dozen or more eggs in a big pan with chopped bell peppers, when almost set add a jar of salsa & mix together. Melt shredded cheese over all the eggs in the pan, stir gently together. Steam-soften flour tortillas & roll the scrambled eggs into burritos. I make enough to have some for dinner, even better if served with Spanish Rice, and the rest make great handy portable breakfast-in-a-hurrys.

Thanks for this recipe! I usually mix a can of storebought enchilada sauce with a can of condensed tomato soup. Mine is good, but I like the sound of yours better. I will try it! I bet it's very authentic-tasting.

You're welcome...I got that recipe from a Mexican woman I used to work with. It's Tex-Mex...the authentic Mexican red sauce is some concoction of simmered peppers that I don't know how to do. In any case this is what is served in Mexican restaurants in this area and it's a lot cheaper to make.

Those enchiladas look scrumptious!
We do risotto with asparagus or broccolli and parmesan cheese.
This time of year, thin pasta with greens---mustard, turnip, swiss chard, whatever greens you have.
Potatoes and eggs are good too.
Spinach or broccolli quiche.
and pancakes are always nice!

Of course cereal & milk makes a great dinner. And if you eat breakfast for dinner maybe you can sleep in a little later in the morning.

Another thing the family adores is French Bread Pizza, that & a green salad make a great meal. I also like to make pizza on sheets of matzoh, it tastes like thin crust pizza. After Passover I like to catch the clearance sales on those 5 pound boxes of matzoh and stock up for the rest of the year. It's my emergency bread to use if we get a hurricane and at the end of the season we can eat up the remainder. It stays fresh for a long long time in those packages.

Pancakes are also one of our favorites.

I am learning so much from this thread...I had never heard of Matzoh...I had to look it up. It's surprising how many different foods I have never heard of.
