Our Daily Bread: 08 ~ 14 March
Posted By FarmerJ on March 8, 2010
Once again, I did pretty well at keeping with last week’s menu. Instead of Beef Stir Fry, though, I made Pork Fried Rice [so I still have that steak in the freezer from two weeks ago!]. We had a lot of country style pork loin chops left over from Wednesday night, so Pork Fried Rice sounded like a good way to use those up ~ it was well received.
Oh, I didn’t make the Strawberry Cake, either. I baked Grandma’s Magic Chocolate Chip Cookies instead ~ and we definitely didn’t need both! I think I’ll make the cake this week, though. Strawberries are sounding really good right now.
Monday ~ C.O.R.N. equates to Clean Out Refrigerator Night… leftover Beef Stew; Chicken Quesadilla Casserole; Potato Salad
Tuesday ~ Shepard’s Pie; Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits
Wednesday ~ Grilled Bratwurst; Sweet Corn; Sauteed Zucchini and Onions; Homemade Rolls
Thursday ~ Sausage; Biscuits and Gravy; Eggs; Orange Slices
Friday ~ Chicken Alfredo; Steamed Broccoli ; Homemade Garlic Bread Sticks
Saturday ~ Cheeseburgers; Homemade Wheat Buns; Green Beans; Cream-Style Sweet Corn
Sunday ~ Okra Stew; Tossed Salad; Buttermilk Biscuits
We have a lot of bulk pork sausage in the freezer. I’m in desperate need of recipes to use it up. It seems like I use the same ol’ ones ~ I need to add some flare! Do you have any favorite recipes you could share?
About The Author
Sometimes I make pork sausage into patties and then cook/freeze them so they’re around when spare biscuits need something to do at breakfast time.
Pizza topping? Meat for spaghetti or lasagna? Filling in omelets?
I’m kind of run down – those are just off the top of my head. More soon, if my brain starts working better.

What about dirty rice?
Thanks, Ladies! The pre-made sausage patties is a good idea. That would be convenient for the 18-year old to grab and heat, too.
I’d forgotten all about Dirty Rice! Darling Husbie likes it, too, especially when I jazz it up a little with a can of green chiles. In our home, green chile is to food what duct tape and WD-40 is to mechanical devices. Heehee!
