Mashies!

Im sitting here eating leftovers from last nite

Usually I dont eat leftovers

but these leftovers involve mashies....

You know, mashed potatoes?

The Stigman was craving a home-cooked meal last nite....

We have been runnin all over the place this summer 

and have barely had time to sit down at the table,

let alone eat a "real" home-cooked meal

his favorite?

Meatloaf and Mashies

So thats what we all had last nite

(and right now for lunchie!) 

Its actually a pretty easy home cooked meal 

Start to finish - less than an hour 

MEATLOAF

1 1/4 lb ground beef

add chopped onions, mushrooms, leftover bread (cut into cubes), 

egg, Lipton's onion soup mix,

chopped garlic and fresh parsley (from garden) 

(cooks at 375 for about 40 minutes) 

MASHIES

5 lbs potatoes (we eat alot of mashies!)

diced and boiled til soft

drain

then add to mixer with sour cream, butter salt and pepper

GRAVY
couple cans of mushroom (or beef) gravy
add chopped mushrooms
minced garlic
seasonings (salt/pepper)
Quick and fast...... 

STUFFING

 I swear by Stove Top Chicken Stuffing

(unless its Thanksgiving or Christmas)  

all you have to do is boil the water with butter

then add the breadcrumb package and cover

So easy! 

GREEN BEANS

from our garden.....

It was our first summer batch!

Heavenly!! 

(I save bacon grease in a little jar and toss a little bit of the grease in with the cooked green beans)

You dont even need butter 

I promise 

 Ahhhh.....

So proud of myself

I think I finally got my energy back 

And its just the beginning of the week I tell ya!

I will be back tomorrow ....

with my Kick-ass Salsa recipe

You wont wanna miss it
