has some crazy delicious meat. There will be kugel and cake and salad.

Yummmmm.....

One more week, and next week is deep fasting (Great and Holy Week). Not sure exactly what I'm having as nothing in the house appeals and I've been feeling a bit down with what my mom called the collywobbles.

Possibly baked salmon with small roasted potatoes and carrots. Last meat or fish until next Sunday.

A spiral him, hash brown casserole (no peeling!), pineapple stuffing, GB casserole, asparagus, coleslaw, rolls, 2 pies. It’s a much easier dinner than thanksgiving (no gravy or mashed potatoes). [link:https://www.bigoven.com/recipe/sunshine-orange-pie/2423424 Sunshine Orange Pie
Made this pie again, totally wonderful! Kind of like key lime but with orange and lemon. Used a Keebler shortbread crust.

it's not bad. That sunshine orange sounds like something I may have to try!

I really want to see how it's made.

Oven 325
Stir together:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
6 tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
6 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Pinch salt
Orange or lemon rind if you like (I don’t)

Pour into shortbread or graham crust, bake 15-17 minutes or until set (it will “jiggle”). Let cool completely, then refrigerate, overnight if possible. Serve with real whipped cream.

That sounds good.

and so easy. I’ll have to try it. Thanks!

but with orange. Sounds good.

boxed au gratin potatoes (offspring-demanded "tradition" ), asparagus, deviled eggs (of course), butter rolls. usually do strawberry shortcake but reprising an earlier birthday requested pineapple upside cake with whipped cream because we just didn't get enough then!

This year I'm cooking a rack of baby back ribs with a home made plum BBQ sauce. Probably potato salad to go with it. It's just the two of us, no other family here this year.

with pan sauce, spaetzle, creamed spinach, deviled eggs (of course! Yum!), crescent rolls.

I just got back from Mom’s house. Dad is not feeling well (bad allergies plus I think a hangover from hanging out with our good friend Jim last night, lol) so we have rescheduled dinner for tomorrow. We’ve always been flexible with holidays due to the jobs/careers we’ve had. Their house is only 20 min away from mine, and it’s one of my regular days off, so no big deal. I helped Mom gather all the serving dishes and whatnot so we’ll be ready to go tomorrow afternoon.

For dessert we decided on funnel cakes because why not?


Happy Easter, my friends!

Wish I had some asparagus!

We are having leg of lamb that we get from a neighbor farmer!

I made carrot cake muffins for my husband's birthday which is tomorrow - from carrots in his garden that we overwinter!

Happy Oestre!!

brussels sprouts with clarified butter, hubby's home baked bread. For dessert, I made a "Fluffy Key Lime Pie", plus we bought a cheesecake variety platter for hubby. We don't usually have dessert but it's our "Spring Celebration" dinner, so we're splurging.
Happy Spring, everyone!

Nothing big deal, since we don't really celebrate.

Sauteed big shrimp, with garlic and basil. Pasta with mushrooms, green peas, and parmesan. Raspberry and blackberry pie later.

We're going out for Chinese.

Capon is hard to find anymore (and this one was marked down because it hadn't sold well, got it for 99 cents/pound) - I think people may not know what a capon is, and since chicken has such big breasts nowadays, it isn't the big deal it once was.

Sides were mashed potatoes and gravy, and roast asparagus with parmesan and lemon. Dessert will be yellow cake with strawberries and whipped cream. I tried several hacks to improve the cake mix, so we'll have to see how that came out.

asparagus and rolls...for dessert lemon bars, butterscotch pie, and some Pistachio pudding bars. I bought some sherry to go with the meal and it is really good too. But we ate mussels. shrimp, other hors d'oeuvres plus fruit salad and we were so full, that the turkey meal is postponed until tomorrow. Turkey is my youngest daughter's favorite meal. She wants it on all holidays.

mashed potatoes & gravy
stuffing
grilled asparagus
crescent rolls


dessert was strawberry shortcake

which means lunch tomorrow will be lamb sandwiches, and there's lamb ragu and saag gosht on the horizon. Along with sauteed cabbage leaves, since my napa cabbages have bolted.
