I just put meatballs in the oven for our dinner. I married an Italian man and he loves his meatballs!

I will also make a salad. I’m sure that at some point this evening hubby will treat himself to a bowl of ice cream too! 😊

We got a 1/2 bushel of crabs for the holiday and our anniversary,, ate a bunch and picked out the rest. We now have plenty for Md crab soup, cream of crab soup and maybe some crab cakes! And the country music while we were on the deck picking them out was on point!

golden: That turkey soup sounds delicious. DH has been enjoying the frozen red beet soup. My mother had a rhubarb patch for a good while.

TN: Good on those cobblers. Yum.

Sounds good techie, My kids loved cobblers and crisps. My rhubarb is ready to give me a decent batch. Guess I should harvest and cook some, and freeze some.

I made well over a gallon of turkey soup the other day and froze most of it. My, it has gelled well. Lots of protein!!! I eat it for any meal. Fast and nourishing.

Recently I have fallen in love with "dump" cobblers. A layer of fruit (4 cups of frozen strawberries, blueberries, mixed berries, or cans of pineapple chunks or peaches, unsweetened or canned in own juice) and a layer of crumbles (white or yellow cake mixed with a stick of butter). Pop in a 350 degree oven for half an hour or so and you have a yummy dessert, better with a little ice cream. I have made dump cakes like this with pie filling before but the unsweetened fruit makes delicious cobbler too. So now I'm on the lookout for canned or frozen fruit or the mark downs on overripe fruit that I can cook or freeze. Walmart sells a white or yellow cake mix for 99 cents so for $4-6 we have a easy to make treat. Perfect with some hamburger helper for a post football practice lunch. I now have two boys on the high school team (GN and FS) and two younger boys hanging around as water boys, although they are registered for the elementary teams that will start evening practices in August.

Llama,
No worries. It is perfectly okay not to like chocolate. You still fit in.

Chocolate, for me, is my medicine. It helps my moods.

"PEA is the same compound found in chocolate that is believed to produce chocolate’s positive effects on mood. The phenylethylamine in chocolate is believed to work by making the brain release b endorphin, an opioid peptide which is the driving force behind its pleasurable effects."

Thanks again Ana!
I modified your recipe a bit by adding the shredded lettuce from last night's tacos, and pico de gallo, and a bit of shredded cheese.

Thank you Anabanana for your recipe!

 "corn, black beans and bell pepper salad".

We had all the ingredients on hand and cut up, ate that for lunch!
It was so very good, and unique for us. The bell pepper was red.

Wow! Just thanks!

And no glass was broken in the making of this dish!

ITRR and cwille,

You have inspired me to branch out and try these. They all sound great. I tend to get stuck in a rut and it’s boring. Variety is the spice of life.

ITRR,

I do like adding veggies too. They certainly add nutrients but also color and texture.

Thanks for responses!

I was once accused of making all our meals with hamburger - well, it was cheap, infinitely expandable and nobody every turned up their nose.
hamburger soup - chili con carne - diy hamburger helper - meatloaf - hamburger patties served plain without a bun - hamburger stroganoff - pasta sauce - mac & cheese with gr. beef - sloppy joes - loose meat with gravy - burgers (of course), tacos & burritos, cabbage roll casserole, egg roll in a bowl.....

NHWM, hamburger soup, or as I call it, autumn stew. Mostly I say autumn stew because people in the SW get weirded out by hamburger soup. Browned burger, beef broth and any veggies you enjoy = autumn stew.

Goulash is a great hamburger recipe that freezes well and feeds a lot of people with 1# of burger.

Love cottage pie and shepherds pie.

Southern skillet with burger, potatoes, onions, cheese and other things to taste is a great hamburger meal.

Of course, the bunless hamburger is always an easy meal.

I always add lots of veggies to whatever I am fixing and it creates a great, easy meal that is full of nutrition.

Wow! Lots of broken glass in your house. 🤪

I have never made chili or stroganoff. I should try making those. I will look up some recipes.

Last night's tacos were good NHWM.

Except for a few delaying snafus.
Like dropping and breaking the entire dish of ground sirloin, 1 lb.

Then, cooking up the other pound, totalling $16.84 in meat. (I know, it is recommended to use the cheaper ground beef for flavor).

You can cook chili, pour it over a hamburger, or use the ground up meat in the chili.

It will be awhile, a long while before I make tacos again. Easier to buy out, and less expensive. Maybe just stop cooking at all until this time passes.

A disagreement ensued after I broke the glass bowl, all over the floor. You cannot retrieve any of the meat because of the broken glass.
I mentioned that was 2 bowls broken in the last two days. Dh argued that he did not break the last bowl. (I was not even in the room when he broke it).
And, it was my fault. 🤣🤪🤣🥇

There are beef stroganoff recipes using ground beef. I love beef stroganoff.

Today's ground beef prices can be beat by using some steaks/per the pound.
