Homemade Condiments

I think this was the day that Josh made dinner -- a big old potato casserole, with plenty of cheese and broccoli... and I forgot to take pictures. I did manage to get a picture, though, of what I was doing in the meantime. I made some ketchup to go with the potato casserole (I really wish there was a better name for it -- it was improvised wonder), and some mayo so that I could make buttermilk ranch dressing.

And you need almost nothing to make them -- a pot and a can opener for the ketchup, a blender (or food processor) for the mayo, and maybe a knife for the dressing. Here's where I got my recipes: Homemade ketchup, Mayo, Buttermilk Ranch Dressing.

Dinner, 18 April - Waffles!

Forgot to take pictures before we dug in! Here we've got some tasty waffles:

And some broccoli baked with cheese on top (what's left of it, anyway):

Some sausage we cut and fried up in the pan:

And Lemy and Cedar eating some waffles... in monster/dinosaur jammies.

Dinner, 17 April - French Onion Soup

French onion soup with salad and no-knead bread

Dinner, 16 April - leftover smorgasbord

With two families eating together, we produce relatively small amounts of leftovers. If there's enough, one of the men can take it to work for lunch, but usually it's just a bit of this and that. Our solution has been periodic leftover feasts.

This particular one includes the pizzas and sweet potato fries from the post below, as well as Curried Apple Soup, homemade spaghetti with homemade meatballs, and veggie stir-fry with rice and Easy Peanut Sauce. The curried apple soup was not a favorite -- we all ate it, more or less, but ended up having to get rid of the last of it because it was just sitting around. Everything else, however, was amazing and delicious...

A Backlog of Dinners....

A big motivation for creating this blog was -- I'll be honest -- to post about the dinners we've been making. So I'm working on posting a big backlog of pictures our dinners for the past couple of weeks...

15 April 2011 - Sweet Potato fries (and, okay, the rest of a bag of Ore-Ida frozen curly fries) with Chipotle-Lime Mayo, and three pizzas -- Thai-style (the one with the broccoli and pineapple), "regular" (red-sauce with some caramelized onions), and a Caramelized-Onion pizza.
