Thanksgiving List: cooking edition.
(Apologies to those starting the Nativity fast tomorrow, we are on the Julian calendar so not fasting quite yet).
I raided the freezer, got out 1 lb of beef and a package of chicken thighs and legs.
Beef went with onion, oregano and fried up, then added a can of mushroom soup and then cooked egg noodles mixed in.
Chicken boiled with about 8 cups of water (it kept decreasing, I had to add more), then deboned and used a chicken enchilada soup mix + 12 oz of red salsa and now that's cooling on the stove.
I mixed up some Marion Cunningham's Rescue Biscuits and had some of the 'easy beef stroganoff' with 1 biscuit and some spinach for dinner.
I have food for all weekend + early next week!
I am thinking of adding some more carrots to the soup, having them with tortillas and perhaps a bit more rice as well...
Feels so good to get some cooking and baking in!

That does sound very satisfying! It's always great to get ahead in the meal planning.
As GJ said, it's great to have food made and ready to heat and put on the table. I make that exact easy Beef Stroganoff and DH has enough for several meals.
You sound busy and happy which is wonderful.
Oh, that looks good. And oh, the dishes you have prepared read so wonderfully. I love cooking and baking.
And you can look to it for a whole week... until the next beautiful dish. Today I'm cooking a Brussels sprout soup with minced goat and other vegetables... it's going to be delicious. I also have a binding for a blanket in the works... and the sun is shining... wonderfully. There will be a short walk.
Kind regards to you.
