    Tuna casserole?!? Bleh!
  • hedonisthedonist Posts: 24,524
    Blasphemy, mca! That is comfort food all the way.

    OK, fine - I grew up on the Stouffer's version, but THE BEST I ever had was when Greek friends of my family stayed with us, and made the real deal.

    My god.

    Amazing how memories of food can be so strong.

    Mac & cheese is a casserole (if made properly).

    man ... I'll take allllllllllllll the flack in the world for this and still hold my stance - unless mac and cheese comes out of a yellow box, you're doing it wrong. That homemade stuff shouldnt be called mac and cheese. that shit is pasta.

    Chef Speedy,

    I've got a 5lb bag of potatoes that needs to be cooked ASAP. It's not a huge $$ loss but I hate to waste that much food. I'll use 4 or 5 potatoes (they're small) in a vegetable soup, but idk what to do with the rest so they will keep. The only thing I can think of is soup but I'm not sure if soup can be frozen?
    Any suggestions?

    Roasted potatoes freeze well.

  • You could also cut them into fries, parboil them(boil them for about 5 mins) then lay them out on cookie sheets, freeze them then put in bags and put in freezer. Homemade french fries, with the convenience of frozen.

    It's actually very good, doesn't taste healthy at all :)
    Just remember that turkey will dry out more so add some moisture before cooking.

    I often make meatloaf with the stuffings of chicken sausage mixed with ground beef. It's very lean, but still full of flavours. We once made it with buffalo ground beef, that was amazing. But buffalo is rather expensive. Sometimes I put some bacon on the top of the meatloaf to make it more moist, but usally surrounding it with veggies creates enough moisture.

    Enjoy your dinner! Sounds fantastic!!

    My favorite meatloaf is made with half turkey, half beef and ground up cauliflower instead of the breadcrumbs. It's got a bunch of herbs, onion etc and a tasty sauce over the top too. Grain free for a change. Nobody knows the difference.

    Never thought about adding cauliflower, goo idea. I sometimes use flax instead of an egg, and I always soak some of my homemade bread in water instead of breadcrumbs. Adding chopped almonds sometimes too. I really really like meatloaf. We have it all the time.

    Make a big tray of Dauphinoise potatoes and hand some out to your neighbours. They'll love you.

    Yesterday I did my shopping for the week
    3lbs ground turkey
    2lbs chicken breast
    5 pork cutlets
    Broccoli
    Asparagus
    Brussel sprouts
    Onions
    Spinach
    Avocado
    Mushrooms
    Corn
    All for under $40
    Enough for meals to feed the 2 of us, lunch and dinner, the entire week. Yet people still want to convince me its cheaper to eat fast food/junk food? I am still not buying it.
