1. Pork ribs.

They get covered with BBQ sauce and baked for 6 hours at 225 degrees.

Cuz it's too cold and rainy to light the grill which is overwintering in the garage anyway.

2. Well, I just tried to make some plantain dough

and it didn't come out right at all. So i'm not sure what to do with it. Maybe just fry it in small pieces?

Leftover blackbeans, avocado/tomato salad.

My cookies are great and once it cools down, I'm going to bake up some more of them.

How about you!

9. Maybe try some recipes

for Manioc? It seems like that would be the consistency and they would be able to give more even results? Just a thought.

[cbayer]

13. Hmm…. I will look into that.

I rolled it into small balls and thought I might fry it, but I will take a look.

3. More pork roast, another baked potato and green beans.

[Aerows]

5. I love green beans

they are my favorite vegetable. I could sit down and eat them by themselves. In fact, last night, I had to restrain myself from eating all of the ones I cooked. It was icy and I had to make do with what was in the pantry and freezer!

6. Beans are good, but my favorite is carrots.

[Aerows]

7. Oohh.. I love carrots, too

I also adore cabbage cooked the right way. Brussels sprouts I also like, but I will get in front of you to get some good green beans

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. I like Brussels sprouts, but cabbage only in cole slaw.

[Aerows]

10. I like mine divided up into six parts

thrown in a skillet after some bacon has been fried, and then letting it get crisp for anywhere between 5-10 minutes, depending upon how it is going.

It's so good, you can devour it with a knife, fork and taste buds that nearly drip. A few pieces of corn bread don't hurt, but since I don't like it, I make biscuits.

EDIT: I'm a bad Southerner. I don't care for corn bread, if you can believe it. Biscuits are another story, though.

11. I like cornbread, but biscuits are another story.

They're good. My nephew, who did basic training at Fort Benning, developed a taste for biscuits and gravy. I just like them with butter.

[Aerows]

12. Biscuits and white gravy

Is a specialty of mine. I'm not too big on fried round steak that goes with them, but the biscuits under peppery, bacon or sausage gravy is the best. Add a side of grits, and you have a meal!

[Aerows]

4. Leftovers

I made Turkey breasts baked in Chicken stock, with stuffing, buttermilk biscuits, rice and green beans. It was cold and still horrible to drive on, so I had to clean out some of the stuff in the freezer to make a meal. It was delicious, if weird to have baked turkey in the middle of the week. I still have plenty left, so that is what will be for dinner again tonight. Mom and Dad loved it .

14. Tyropitas, carrot salad, stuffed grape leaves, sliced tomatoes

15. Experimental...... Beef Stroganoff Pot Pie

I was making mini-apple pies..... and the idea dawned on me.

This might be a BAD mistake ..... but I'm going to give it a try.

[cbayer]

16. Lol, well it's original!

Are you using leftover stroganoff?

It could be great, then again….

Can't wait to hear.

[rdharma]

18. Leftover Stroganoff.....

This leftover "stroganoff mini-pot pie" experiment turned out to be something quite awesome!

When you experiment....... sometimes you win....... sometimes you lose. I won this time.

[cbayer]

19. Congratulations, I love it when that happens!

[rdharma]

23. Thanks! Who dares..... wins!

At least sometimes......

[Aerows]

22. It sounds fantastic

Please post what you did - I know you have part of B2G's recipe, but how you executed the putting it into the crust, etc. would be helpful! I know I sure want to make it.

[rdharma]

25. There is probably a better way...... but this is the way I did it......

I cheat and use my favorite frozen pie dough. Thaw this dough at room temp until it's very malleable, then I cut the dough into a 6" circle (using a saucer) for a template. I then place and press the dough into a greased (sprayed) 5" aluminum pie pan. Bake in pre-heated 400f oven for 5 min. The dough will bubble up from the bottom ...... so poke it with a fork to deflate and continue to bake crust until almost golden brown (an additional 20 min or so). Fill in leftover beef stroganoff filling and continue to bake (additional 20 min?).

I don't use a top crust.

[Aerows]

26. Thank you for the recipe

that sounds great, and I am eager to try it in my own kitchen.

[Aerows]

17. OMG that sounds great!

I love Beef Stroganoff! with a nice crust with noodles and the meat in the center? Um, yes. I'll try it! Please post the recipe.

[rdharma]

20. I used B2G's basic Stoganoff recipe downsized.

Great with buttered noodles. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1157&pid=38279

I used the left over Stroganoff "sauce without noodles" and filled it into a mini-pan with pre-baked pie dough. Continued to bake this at the same 400f temp. until the Stroganoff was piping hot.

Crusty pie dough filled with savory juicy beef Stroganoff. It's good!

[Aerows]

21. It sounds delicious

I love Stroganoff as it is, but in a crust? Yes, please!

EDIT: That sounds perfect! I've got to try this.

24. who knows

we still haven't gotten around to the leftover stew (waylaid by mac and cheese tuesday and drive through last nigth).

i had a late lunch and am not particularly hungry yet, but the husband will probably need to be fed sooner rather than later.

27. Pesto & pasta w/beans, tomatoes and rosemary chicken. nt
