SO WHAT'S COOKIN' THIS THURSDAY?

I have a big catering event Sat; so, lots of shopping and prep today and tomorrow. So, my dinners will be easy.

I have a good ol' tube of Pillsbury pizza crust and some fresh tomatoes - thinking pizza with fresh mozz and basil. Maybe some more watermelon, since it is so good right now.

Also, cooking for 2 ladies plus company tonight. Their card/game night.

I`m roasting a whole turkey breast for dinner tonight, also mashed potatoes and some kind of veg

[Kchurchill5]

Marcia, I buy turkeys whole or breasts year round when they go on sale. I love a good turkey for dinner.

I often make a semi thanksgiving dinner throughout the year. Maybe a panzanella salad vs stuffing; brussels sprouts/cranberry salad vs cranberry sauce or green bean casserole; and, somehow, you gotta keep the mashed spuds and gravy, lol.

But, your turkey sounds good. I love it year round; plus ... leftovers; and, then make broth for the freezer stash! Can't loose.

Love turkey. I could have it once a week.
Tonight I'm just having a pizza on naan bread and a nice big garden salad. For dessert, lemon loaf.

It`s pizza night for us

[Kchurchill5]

Marcia, I do the same with ham too. I cook in slow in the crock; then, just slice up and freeze. Put in small qt size; and put all the qt into one gallon. Just mark ham and the date.
Great for ham salad, pasta, scalloped potatoes or mac and cheese with ham, bean soup, etc. And, of course the ham bone.
I agree, SALES.

Manadoo, howdy!!! Pizza sounds good, me too! Lovin, it's a threesome, Pizzas all around

TGIF EVERYONE!

Busy day here, have a big catering party tomorrow; so, at my friends catering kitchen all day. Lots of food for 40 people. Beach Party.

But, today ... I'm still cooking for one lady and a few friends.
Lady #3+2: Sausage w/kraut, and pierogies; green salad; tomato soup; carrot cake cookies

Dinner for me and my catering friend- her son is picking up Dim Sum + other stuff from yummyhouseflorida.com. She is dating one of the chefs; so, he just puts a box together for her. Not sure what we will have; but, they have awesome food - so, I know it will be good.

So, I'm cooking ... just not for me, LOL!
