Yes, I imagine I could sautee slices of this summer sausage (maybe with some chopped onions) and add it to hot pasta with a red sauce??
Or I could grind it up in the food processor and sautee that with onions and add it to the red sauce??
Really good idea and suggestion.
Thanks!!
Both those ideas sound great. I generally fry chopped up sausage until the fat renders out and sautee onions in that rendered fat before adding vegetables, canned tomatoes etc.
I saute saurekraut after I saute the sausage add potatoes and you have a nice quick meal
This is perfect, I was working on next weekâs menu and had no clue what to do for Dec. 26th (day after Christmas) until nowâŚ
Yep, some type of Pasta, red sauce, chopped up summer sausages and any leftover vegetables from Christmas Dinner.
Thanks @medgirl
Now Iâm thinking of making this after Christmas too - a good way to also use up excess Christmas cheese/dairy if made into a pasta bake/lasagna.
An early morning bicycle ride to the grocery store netted two leeks from the clearance bin. So I made a Chicken - Carrot â Leek soup for lunch. Neighbor #2 can have a couple âbread buttonsâ from yesterday with her soup and Iâll make up some Jiffy Cornbread for Sunshine to have with her soup.
our Giant has recently started emailing a copy of the âhereâs what you boughtâ tab.
Iâm thinking to use an email rule to put them in a separate folder, and I can thence tally up âwhat the heck are we spending on food!â
sigh . . . Iâm not looking forward to documented âproofâ . . .
Lol, you reminded me of my last minute pre-Thanksgiving grocery visit. I was looking for something to enhance the turkey stock for my gravy and decided I would go fancy with leeks. I nabbed two skinny ones, thinking the $4.99 was per pound. It was not. They were $4.99 each, so I paid $10 a little extra flavor for my gravy.
Your soup looks delicious!
Thank youâŚ
I only needed ONE leek for the upcoming chowder caper and was so disappointed to find one, limp and terribly anemic leek to use. Itâll do. It wasnât cheap, either.
I never see leeks in the clearance bin, so that is why I grabbed those two up. The tops were a little chewed up, but I wasnât planning on using the tops.
The rabbits enjoyed my carrot peelings and some of the leek tops. Very little went to waste.
OMG!! Cabbage is going on sale Friday for 49 cents/poundâŚ
Iâm making a big pot cabbage soup!!
Hopefully youâll find as I did that home cooking is actually saving you a TON of money. Even with expensive ingredients and some deli-prepped shortcuts, home meals â on average â are a fraction of what youâd spend eating out.
NO⌠just NO!!
Great yellow-tag sale price per pound. But what size party/family can use 20 pounds of bone in rib eye roast at once? Or has the tools/skills to break it down into reasonable sized freezable portions?
Gah! I wonder if anyone bought itâŚ
Canadians, Rexall has some great deals on holiday chocolate this week. I brought home some Ritter Sport and mini Toblerone for the DCs.
All you need is a sharp knife - you can slice between the bones, no sawing required. I buy whole rib roasts pretty frequently (usually bone out, however), and cut into steaks to freeze after wet aging in the cryovac. The price tag is eye popping but it ends up being cheaper than buying individual steaks. Iâm glad I had my freezer stocked before the latest beef price spikes, thoughâŚit has gotten insane!
Yes. Weâre down to the final steak in the freezer, a NY Strip bought in June from sales around Fathers Day. I did look at my usual upscale grocer the day after Christmas and at Costco yesterday but selection was sparse and expensive - none at all of our favorite cut (T-bones or Porterhouse). Iâm presuming those sold out for Christmas/New Years.
