It's School Time!!!


There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity
under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Whether your family is like ours and schools at home, or your children attend a local community school, it's that time of year again!! This brings about an extra commitment of moms' time, either way.

I want to ask a favor! I need you guys to send me your favorite recipes for putting supper on the table in about 30 minutes. This can be actual recipes - like for a quick casserole, or it can be a way you put a speedy meal together from the grocery - with say a rotisserie chicken, instant rice, jarred gravy, bagged salad and frozen rolls.

I know you guys have some great recipes and ideas! When I'm in a hurry, sometimes I just can't think of something quick to make. I will post our recipes and ideas under speedy meals, so that we can find these great suggestions quickly.

You can share your ideas by leaving a comment, or you can e-mail them to me at

mealplanwithconnie@att.net

Thanks so much for your help!! I look forward to hearing from you all!!

Many blessings and happy cookin' ~ Connie

    I cook fish often, tilapia!

    It bakes in about 15 to 20 mins, throw in some tots, taters, or fries... I usually whip up cole slaw after lunch to serve with this meal and its done!

    Salmon patties, mashed potatoes, and green peas from the freezer is pretty quick.

    Throwing roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions in a pot while cooking lunch gets me off the hook sometimes.

    Chapatis! Quick and easy flatbread, prepared on a griddle and in one pot on the stove, slice peppers, onions, and chicken or beef and season with fajita type mix or taco. Serve in the bread with sour cream and shredded cheddar. Yummy! Our fave!!

    Beans and taters and cornbread! Beans cook in crock- potatoes and cornbread can be on the table in about 25 mins! :-)

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles

 Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles  Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles Many thanks to my friend, Wayne, for posting this delicious recipe! I knew when I saw it that I had to make these for the "Lost Crew." They were a hit!  These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne! These are wonderful!! ½ cup shortening 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup regular sugar 2 eggs 2¾ cups plain flour 1 cup undiluted Carnation evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon soda ½ teaspoon s...
