One of the 500 Delicious Dishes from Leftovers is Bread Crumb Griddlecakes. We had some leftover bread crumbs from something or other this past week so we had Bread Crumb Griddlecakes for breakfast. Frankly, I had my doubts, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were very light– not at all like a standard pancake. I

While I was fretting over my act of stupidity (deleting photos from the blog) and then later paying attention to Tibow, Mr. Big Food was fixing a fine Sunday Supper–Oven Barbequed Beef for Sandwiches, and Spicy Green Bean Salad. Tonight Mr. Big Food is making jambalaya from a recipe he’s never made before. I’m excited.

Yesterday, when I posted some photos of the knedle in progress, I said When I post the recipe– which I will after I have some photos of them doing what God intended them to do– I’ll include the correct name. Here they are, doing what God intended: soaking up some ‘peek-a-pok, good gravy.’ Courtesy of
Commenting on the bread dumplings— which were delicious– suek shares the following (which I’ve edited for ease of reading, and one typo*): In our house, stale bread = Chocolate chip pudding! Grease a baking dish. Fill with cubed/broken dried bread (including crusts). Then you need a bit of guess work…quantity of milk is determined by
On December 16th I promised to post the vánočka recipe. Unfortunately, we left Texas before Mr. Big Food’s Mom and Mr. Big Food had the chance to make a vánočka together. Our layover, between Texas and North Carolina, wasn’t long enough for baking a vánočka before Christmas. Now that our travels are over for a

Here’s how he did it: He cut up one onion and some (homegrown) frozen pepperoncini peppers and sauteed them in 1 Tbsp. olive oil. When the onions were translucent, he transferred the onions and
This is the final installment of my “quick” supper posts series. I should be clear. “Quick” doesn’t mean, “Bazinga, supper’s done!” St. Louis Beer Beef Stew cooks for hours. I should have called these suppers, “Suppers that don’t require that I help Mr. Big Food with a lot prep cooking because it’s almost Christmas and

I’m looking forward to spending some time with Kat & my new camera. We’re having quick dinners this week.

The casserole we had with last night’s steak supper took about 10 minutes to prepare– if even that. It is “Potato Casserole II” because it was the second potato casserole recipe that Mr. Big Food entered into his Big Food Manual. It differs from Potato Casseroles I and III in at least three fundamental ways.
Alternative title #1: Preparedness Alternative title #2: Another non-entrant into the soup contest This is the menu Mr. Big Food prepared on Sunday, November 27th: Week of Nov. 27-Dec.3 It wasn’t until the week had begun that Mr. Big Food decided to carry me away. Thus, some adjustments were in order, as indicated by the

It is so cool to be me. I am a judge in a Fall/Winter Soup Contest. Mr. Big Food tells me there will be a lot of entries. I am excited. There’s talk of a greens & homemade sausage soup. I’ve had this before. It’s not bad. Here is some more discussion about the soup’s
