dinner

Last nights dinner was a little interesting as my husband tried to help out...
Homemade chicken nuggets
Cheese mashed potatoes
stewed tomatoes
polish sausage/white hots

• Here is the site I have for making the chicken nuggets...they are so much better then store bought kind. If you have any questions please let me know. http://forfood.rezimo.com/?p=432
• Mashed potatoes were from a box
• Stewed tomatoes were Paul's idea..I wanted mixed veggies and he was like the tomatoes have green peppers in it so there is my green veggie
• Polish sausage was cooked on the grill...
• White hots(sorry no pic) but they look like the polish sausage but white and we got them in New York..

dinner

i thought i had done this last night but guess not..
dinner for Tuesday Oct. 13, 2009
Scalloped Potatoes with chicken
Broccoli with butter
Scalloped potatoes:
4 large sliced potatoes(will explain how i did this)
1 large can 24ozs cream of mushroom soup
(might be wrong on the ozs.)
1 small can 10.5 ozs cream of mushroom soup
1/2cup of sour cream
10.5 ozs can full of water
1 tsp. of butter
mix everything together and cook in an 350 degree oven for 1hr..
Tip:boil the potatoes before cooking them in the oven.cooking time might be less.
Boil the Broccoli and add butter to it.







this is what i used to chop the potatoes..yes real chopped potatoes..it took no time to chop them too..bought this at kitchen collection in Boaz, ala

dinner

OK i was told to start a blog about how my dinner looks and what we are eating...

I was always told that I do portion size meals just right..so I want to share it with everyone else..I am also going to show you the utensils that i use to get the right size portions..


ok here is the utensils that i like to use..
The orange spoon is for my youngest child-also known as the pickiest eater I got. She is only 6 yrs old and I find using the smaller spoon gives her the right amount of food and then none goes to waste.
The black spoon is for my 8yr old and 11 yr old..its bigger then the orange spoon and there for it gives them the right amount of food.
The purple spoon is for my 14 yr old, my husband and myself as we are the older ones in the house..Plus purple is my favorite color anyway..lol
Now that you have seen my spoons now onto what I had for dinner...

Monday October 12, 2009
I fixed some fried polish sausage, seasoned mixed greens, and tomato flavor rice(i will explain in a moment about that)
the mixed greens is:
These are so good and I found them at Wal-mart for only $.98 for each can..They don't need any seasoning cause its already in it.










My tomato rice:
Very simple to make..I fixed enough for 6 servings as my family loves rice plus again with serving sizes I had left over.. but start out with boiling the 3cups of water and I put in 3tbsp of the tomato bullion let it boil and then add the rice and take it off the burner let it stand with a lid on..when its done fluff up the tomato flavored rice and enjoy..
I got the tomato bullion at Wal-mart but not sure how much it cost..its in the isle with the Hispanic items, right next to the taco stuff.










well that was my Monday dinner hope you enjoy it as much as my family did.
