Great looking meals my friend!!❤ we finally got power back on after 50 hours!! So we were so thankful I made us a hot dinner for Sunday we ended up with grilled chops, scalloped potatoes, fresh corn on cob and green beans! It was so good and hot!! I did lose a bunch of food unfortunately, but I do have my deep freezer full of meat luckily! ❤ that bbq roast oh my 😮

I have the same pot you have cooked your spaghetti in. It is my favourite pot. Thanks for the tip on wrapping cabbage.

I made it to the end 😊. I got two bags of beets on Saturday, i canned and made pickled beets for the first time, I was so excited to get them. Already tasted the ones that didn't make it into the canner, they taste amazing

First and foremost, I am glad y'all are safe and healthy, not knowing what part of N.C. y'all are in I was pretty concerned about y'all's safety. Second, that was a week of really good meals. I wouldn't turn my nose up to any of it. Leftover spaghetti makes a great breakfast 😊. That pork shoulder made my mouth water... Lol. Stay safe and keep smiling.

Been worried about you with the hurricane. I saw that parts of North Carolina are devastated.

Glad you're ok and the storm missed you. You did good with the pizza gift card.
Yes, never buy tortilla chips or potato chips. Easy enough to make at home and waaay cheaper.
Homemade queso dip calls for cream cheese, cheddar, milk if it needs thinning and the usual spices. If you don't have cream cheese and milk, use plain yogurt or sour cream and water works just fine to thin it. Or canned nacho cheese is cheaper than the jar or plastic container kind. Or easier to just sprinkle cheddar on top the chips and bake them and top a few with jalapenos or salsa if the family likes it that way.
A dozen homemade flour tortillas costs what 1 single tortilla costs at the store. So, duh, homemade is what this kitchen serves and we like fresh homemade over store bought. Fry them whole or cut them into triangles. Immediately out of the skillet, sprinkle on sugar and cinnamon and you have buñuelos for dessert or snacks.
We're eating a pot of dried beans cooked with a ham bone with a ton of meat still on it so that's pennies per serving. I saved most of the meat for a pot of dried split pea soup and the liquid will be from frozen drained cans of peas so pennies per serving again. A dollop of homemade yogurt will pretty it up.

Peel off the outer leaves rather than cutting a cabbage and it won't turn dark. Use the most outer for cabbage rolls before cutting it for other uses to make it last longer. Those who don't get to shop often, know cabbage, carrots, onions, winter squash and potatoes will stay fresh the longest. Eat tomatoes, lettuce, greens and summer squash asap because they rot quicker. Peel and use the outer leaves of iceberg lettuce before cutting into it, same as cabbage, to keep it from turning brown too quickly. Romaine stays fresh longer than iceberg.
