Have you been cycling through the same meals for supper? I have. Getting tired of them? Yup!
I thought it would be a good idea to start introducing new meals into our nightly rotation. I should tell you now that I am not a gourmet chef. In fact, until I got married I hardly ever cooked meals. Just simple stuff like grilled cheese. And it wasn’t any four-cheese-smoked-gouda type of grilled cheese. Just some fluffy enriched white bread and some yellow American cheese. Hmm. It’s been a long time…
Anyway, I went through the cabinet where I stored all of my recipes and recipe books and made a stack of recipes to try. Mostly so I could get rid of some of the books in my Thursday declutter box, but also because I’m tired of making the same old, same old.
My one stipulation for the recipes I try is that I must already have most of the ingredients called for. I don’t want to have to buy any more than 2 or 3 ingredients. That can break the bank folks!
Also, I’m going to try just one recipe a week because I meal plan, and let’s face it, when you meal plan you’re kind of used to the luxury of knowing how long your meals will take to make. Trying a recipe for the first time usually takes a bit longer for me than the prep time given with the recipe. So I’ll save the new recipes for a night when I have more time to make them.
So if you want some new ideas for dinner/supper- follow along!
Today’s recipe is Farmhouse Hash with Eggs from Sandra Lee’s Money Saving Meals & Round 2 Recipes. Click on the name of the recipe if you want the specifics on how to make it. I’ve had this book for at least three years and finally decided to look through it when I decluttered my microwave cart/cabinet. I decided this had a lot of recipes I’d like to try.
So, this meal is supposed to look like the picture below.
This type of meal is something my husband typically likes: meat and potatoes.
