Pizza Pot Pie

I accomplished a few things in the kitchen yesterday. I browned and froze four pounds of sausage, and I chopped and froze a turkey breast Aunt Jean cooked for us. Last week I cooked and froze five pounds of chicken. I hope to brown several pounds of ground beef today. All this will give me a nice little stash of pre-cooked meats in my freezer before we start back with our school work next week. I think I've mentioned a time or two, or maybe more like - twenty, that pre-cooking and freezing meats is the best meal planning tool I've found!

On Monday night, Logan and M.C. ate supper with Aunt Jean, and Larry, Dude and I polished off the last of the pot luck leftovers from Saturday night! Larry had taken Dude to the doctor in Memphis on Monday, and they stopped by at had a yummy lunch at Corky's after Dude's appointment! We all love Corky's! Their frozen bbq, which is available in most grocery stores' freezer sections, makes a great, quick meal! I love their sauce, which is also available at the grocery!

Erin B. ate supper with us last night. She is a very sweet girl, and she sets such a good example of living out her faith as a young college student. We are grateful for her influence on, and friendship with, our kids. Larry and I really enjoyed eating and visiting with all three of these young people last night. There are some things I guess I will always miss about having small kids, but teenagers are pretty neat, too!

We did eat our planned menu last night, which turned out to be a good pick with our guest. All the kids came through the kitchen while I was cooking and said - "What smells soooo good?!" I cooked some of the Farm Rich frozen mozzarella sticks that are stuffed with marinara that I've told y'all about before. The kids really like these. We all loved the Pizza Pot Pie. All three of the younger ones had seconds - always a good sign!!

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 ...
