Chili Spaghetti:
1 lb browned hamburger meat, drained
1/2 cup chopped onion (we do 1 cup)
28 ounce jar/can spaghetti sauce ( use Hunts for 99 cents)
one can Ranch Style beans, pinto beans or kidney beans, your choice (we prefer ranch beans)
1 T chili powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder (i use at least 1 tsp)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
one package spaghetti pasta, cooked.
1/2 cup shredded cheese (of course, we use more)
to the browned meat, add the onions, spices, sauce, beans and simmer a bit while the pasta is cooking. If you don't like biting into raw onions, you can cook the onions in with the meat. i usually do 1/2 cup cooked with the meat and then i add another 1/2 cup of the raw to the sauce. Drain pasta and add it along with the cheese to the meat sauce mixture. mix well and thorough. This is even better the next day!

Six Layer Casserole
Six Layer Casserole
from Hillbilly Housewife
This is a very comfort food dish for us.
4 or 5 potatoes, peeled and sliced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced or 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 cup dry white rice
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
First prepare your vegetables. Oil a large three quart casserole. Layer the potatoes into the bottom of the casserole. Next add the carrots or frozen vegetables. Sprinkle over the rice, and then the onion. Separate off small bits of the raw hamburger and arrange it over the onion. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over hamburger. Press all of the ingredients down evenly. Pour the tomatoes over the top. Cover the casserole with tin foil and bake at 325° for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Yes, 3 hours. The meat is raw, and the carrots and potatoes and rice take a good while to soften up, making a long cooking time necessary. So just let the casserole sit in the oven for 3 full hours and then it will be done. It makes the house smell good while it cooks. When it is done, take it out of the oven. Remove the tin foil and let the casserole cool a little bit. This will serve 6 people.

Chicken Florentine
My review of this recipe from Paula Deen: Chicken Florentine
My family and i usually just love all of Paula Deen's recipes, but this was was not such a big hit. Dh said it was "okay", but i seriously doubt if i make it again. This was the first time i have ever used curry powder in any recipe and i guess we are just not curry people. The taste was subtle and the dish was definitely edible...just not a huge hit. Dh had seconds, so it had to be decent :)
i made homemade bread sticks (trying to recreate Olive Garden's - 1/2 successful) and a green salad with hard boiled eggs for dh to top his with to go along with the meal. My kids were less than thrilled to have this for dinner, basically because of the looks. I have to say, i loved the spinach and the chicken, i just didn't care for the subtle undertone of curry. If i make this again, i will leave out the curry.
I halved this recipe, and i used chicken thighs instead of breasts, five of them.
Here is a pic of our dinner tonight: (ignore the mismatched plates)

Picture Perfect Soft and Fluffy Rolls
These rolls are so yummy!! They are not as sweet as my normal "holiday" rolls are, but hey, this didn't really need much kneading and with my carpal tunnel acting up, i am ALL for that!I made these to go with pot roast last night, which is what my Ashley requested for her birthday dinner. These rolls are yummy and there is only two left! these are very soft rolls...perfect for sopping up gravy! Here is the recipe if any of you want to try them. This dough can keep in the fridge for up to five days. I adapted the recipe from Mobunny's Pillow Rolls.
I made up the dough around 2 and left it to rise in the bowl on the counter and then around 4:45 i made the rolls and put them in a pan and let them rise until doubled and cooked them.

Menu Plan Monday
Yes, i am an entire day early, but i wanted to make sure i could do this!!!! This is my FIRST Menu Plan Monday that i am a part of. I love reading others and was introduced to it through my friend Candi and i am just sorta kinda figuring out this blogging stuff ;)I almost always plan menus, otherwise i am a basket case trying to figure out what to feed my family. i NEED my lists ;) With my busy schedule with three kids in soccer, church functions, my husband and oldest daughter hunting (yes, it is archery and muzzleloading season), i have to be organized or my household falls apart and none of us are happy campers. On top of all those reasons, if i don't menu plan, my grocery budget goes through the roof! and we can't have that! Here is what i have planned. i was trying to stay very frugal this week and i only had to buy two items of meat!!! How cool is that?! I bought one cutup chicken and one pound of hamburger and that should do me for 7 meals! Here is my menu in no particular order as to the day of the week we will eat it:
- Wild Rice Chicken Soup (with lots of veggies and barley, Homemade Old Fashioned Oatmeal Bread.
- Pinto beans with green chilis over rice topped with diced tomatoes and cheese, a recipe of Katie's.
- Spaghetti, homemade french bread with garlic butter, meat sauce and salad (if i go and pick up the fixin's for salad - i never buy salad stuff until the day i need it, otherwise it may go rotten in my fridge because i don't use it fast enough).
- Chicken Casserole, steamed broccoli, corn on the cob, fried cabbage
- Poppyseed Chicken, broccoli and cheese, buttered carrots
- Marlboro Man Sandwiches from here, sour cream potato casserole. I will let you know how the sandwiches are. they sure look good!!!
- Lentil-Spinach soup from Katie again. I am willing to give it a try. Don't know how well my family will like it though :). I will make this along with some homemade french bread with some good butter.

Raw Milk
I finally went down to the small dairy farm near my house and picked up some raw milk.........at only 2 dollars a gallon.!!! You just bring your own container and come at milking time. I just can't wait to drink some....now i am wondering how much cream it takes to make a small amount of butter. I would like to try that some time. This farm is part of the Braum's co-op and so it is inspected regularly, etc. and DOES NOT use the growth hormones!! I will post and let you know if my family liked the taste or not tonight. Until then....

Some yummy bread
I am sure the majority of my posts on this blog will be about cooking in some form or another, it is what i do the best. My family loves homemade bread and this Oklahoma weather was just perfect for a good loaf. I put the makings of a pot roast on the stove and some Old Fashioned Honey Oatmeal bread out to rise. This is the finished product and boy was it good! I should have taken some pics of my family gobbling it down!
Beautiful way to start a Blog
For the first time in my life, my husand had flowers delivered to me!!! I didn't even have to give birth to a child :) What a Guy!!!
