How about a thread to show off some meals, share some ideas, and basically see how each other cooks with different things.
I had a hankering for some bacon last night, but wasn't impressed with the selection. So I grabbed some Proscuitto instead.
I made some chicken and mushroom Proscuitto wraps:
Steamed a little asparagus to go with:
and some tri-colour Couscous for a starch:
I forgot to grab a shot after plating, but... Dinner is served:
I can't wait until lunch today, for the leftovers
looks great

We will be trying that soon.
I'm hoping that this thread will be shared by all, posting meals, whether from preps or not. when it comes to cooking from preps, we can, and should be able to all learn from each other.
One evening this week, I'm hoping to make, and store 10+ gallons of gumbo, for another meal for my trip
c'mon guys... lets see some stuff! We can all learn!
Rocked a bacon log tonight, will post pics later! (but OMG< I am so full!)
Somebody get me a napkin. Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken = DROOL!!
~Said in my best Southern Belle accent~
Why, Mistah Snipah, Sir, I do believe you might be a Foodie! And I DO LOVE me a Fellow Foodie!
How do Chicken Fajita's strike your fancy?
Maybe something a little less unassuming but with all the flavor of a good old fashioned fried chicken?
Or maybe you prefer a little beef?
And it would be rude of me to not to offer dessert...how about some Blueberry Lemon Bread?
All these recipes are on my new blog A Day In The Life of a Frugal Foodie | Where frugality and food collide with delicious consequences. It's what I've been working on the past couple of months and why I haven't been on this site.
So, I'm game Sniper. If you want to share recipes and food, I'm definitely in!
That's awesome Justa! Might have to look at some chicken fajitas for dinner toniight. lol
or maybe burgers...
Stormy, you still full, or you got some bacon log photo's for us?
Sniper...throw a girl a bone!
Whatcha got for "Meatless"? No soups or stews though...I've got plenty of those but most of the time it's too hot for them anyway. And definitely NO Tofu <gag>! Looking for something hearty and satisfying (with easily accessible and affordable ingredients). Nothing so light it's like eating a side dish or summer salad. You got anything middle of the road?
I found a new recipe that I'll be tweaking to a meatless meal later this week and will be Food Storage Friendly if it works. I'll post the results.
This is my own creation from a couple weeks ago...Buffalo Bean Patties...it's a winner!
I'm doing some tweaks to my blog as far as printing/recapping recipes without all the commentary but haven't gotten this far yet...here's the link with the recipe if anyone is interested...Meatless Monday, Buffalo Bean Patties | A Day In The Life of a Frugal Foodie
**ETA: Evolver is out of town so I've been freezing lots of leftovers. These froze well. I microwaved one and it came out OK. The veggies went kind of soft but the flavor was still good. Probably would have been a lot better, and crunchier, if I would have re-heated in the oven but was still good regardless.
