Meatloaf, mashies & peas. Might make a pumpkin pie.

pasta with sausage and zucchini and garlic bread.

Left over meatloaf for hubs & myself with more potatoes (mashed), and for kids they can have Stouffer's frozen pizza.

Just had a peanut butter sandwich before I go off to my grandsons birthday party......going to have cottage pie, peas and cauliflower for dinner when I get back tonight.

What is cottage pie?

fresh home-made pasta and sauce, garlic bread.

Here's a Cottage Pie recipe Ducky:-6



Ingredients


1 pound russet potatoes peeled and cut in half

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 pound mushrooms sliced

1 pound lean ground beef

1 small white onion chopped

4 garlic cloves minced

2 tablespoons all purpose flour

3/4 cup canned beef gravy

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 medium carrot sliced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram




Directions



Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender. Drain then return potatoes to same saucepan. Add 3 tablespoons butter and mash. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until tender about 7 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to bowl. Add beef, onion and garlic to same skillet and cook over medium high heat until beef is brown breaking up with spoon, about 8 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, gravy, parsley, carrot, Worcestershire and marjoram. Simmer 4 minutes stirring occasionally. Spoon beef mixture into 8 inch square baking dish. Spoon mashed potatoes over and smooth top. Bake until potatoes are heated through and golden brown about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

I'm having a boca veggie burger, corn on the cob, romaine salad with cheese and cranberries, fruit and ice cream.

Ice cream and fruit, that sound lovely for dessert.

probably pizza and maybe brownies for dessert. :-6

I just throw together whatever we have and throw some mashed potatoes on top of it. I have left over roast beef to use up so I thought I'd do a shepherds pie.

Never had this and it sounds so good!! Thanks Kathy Ellen and will be trying this out.

Just went food shopping this am...lots of options to choose from as I did my big meat order. Let's see I've got two beautiful sirloin steaks, hot & sweet sausage, a Perdue stuffer chicken, boneless breasts, ground beef, a nice ham and some store made meatballs. Too many to choose from.

Right now (for lunch), I'm eating roast beef hash, fried potatoes, & baked beans. YUM!! Made some for my father yesterday & took it into the nursing home for him. Brought the leftovers to work for lunch.

I bought a ham yesterday to make my father ham, green beans, & potatoes. There's an idea!

I haven't bagged it & thrown it in the freezer yet. Still thinking about it. Probs the steak as it's been awhile.
