what am i having for dinner tonight- meal plan

[Guest guest]

Hi Gabrielle, well, there really are no recipes....the tiger striped pumpkin

is a little bitty thing and i cut the top off to make a lid.....then

scooped out all the seeds and strings and baked it at 400 for about 10

minutes....then took it out of the oven and rubbed a little bit of parmesan

cheese on the inside of it, along with some salt and pepper...

 

i have some frozen cranberries and took a hndfull-maybe a dozen-to pulse in

the food processor....added some chopped walnuts , another 1/2 cup of

dressing mix(this time it was stove-top, but usually i use either croutons

or pepperidge farm) and add a little melted butter and water..also chopped

up a wee small onion(and I do mean small!) and a 2 inch piece of celery.

SInce I love garlic i put in a few whole cloves and packed the

pumpkin----put the lid on and put it back in the oven...baked at 350 for 1/2

hour and checked it...this was done in that time ...the cranberries were

pretty tart but that was ok with me....the butter helped to tone them down a

little.

 

Hope that explains it...........If i'd had whole berry sauce from a can..i

would have added that in a small quantity instead of thefrozen

cranberries....but i took an oath!!!!! that i would only cook from what i

had in the house and shop only once a week!. Living alone it is easy to to

say, well, can;t cook that cause i don;t have the ingredients....or the

opposite...oh, i have to run out and get everything i don;t have.

I get pizza dough from Trader Joe's for $1.  With 1 dough, I made 2 calzones. 

One with broccoli rabe and the other with mushrooms.  That and a salad, very

filling.
