We had company for dinner tonight, so I made a roasted chicken, stovetop stuffing, roasted carrots, pan gravy, corn, mashed Parmesan taters and fresh baguettes made this morning.

Thanks JEV.Thanks, everyone. Franc, the other side of the bed is already filled with my sweetie, and I'm not taking in boarders...sorry. If you're in the neighborhood, you're welcome to stop on by for a bite to eat.
My Sweetie had another long day, so I put on my thinking cap for something different. I baked off some seasoned Country Ribs for about 90 minutes, then cubed them up, topped them with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and put them under the broiler to warm them up. Cut up some Idaho taters about 1/4" thick, sprayed them with EVOO and topped 'em with mixed Italian herbs, salt & pepper. Into the oven (covered) at 375 for 45 minuted, then 10 minutes uncovered to brown them up. Steamed some fresh cut carrots and broccoli, then coated with melted butter and garlic powder. Finally, took the last of the garden fresh tomatoes that were picked green and turned red over two weeks on the counter, and blended them with balsamic vinaigrette and thinly sliced red onion. DW was impressed, and soon joined the clean plate club. Whew! I get to stay for another night...

Be sure to cover them with foil to keep them from drying out. I line the pan with foil as well for easy cleanup. We have a countertop convection oven that is perfect for making small quantities of food like this, but the fan tends to dry out stuff that's not covered. Baked potatoes bake just fine, but not meats. Cutting up the meat before saucing gives you the opportunity to cut off some of the residual fat as well, and a few minutes under the broiler puts a little carmelization on the sauce. Yep, SBR is our favorite. Just finished the last of the ribletts for lunch, and they were goooooooooooooood!I will have to try making some Country ribs like this Joe. That just made me hungry again. Love the Baby-Ray's BBQ also.

my dinner was a lazy-girl's one- old-fashioned oatmeal (took 5 minutes to cook) w/ a packet of apricots that i took a pair of my kitchen shears to. stirred in some cream & karo, then poured on some milk
High in sodium too isn't it?We had tuna helper with extra cheese and it was great. Had not had that in a while and wanted something different. We always mix in veggies(onion,celery and peas) and added extra shredded cheddar.![]()
Don't come running to me when your legs swell up like two oak tree stumps!I am sorry mom! I did not read the box, just grabbed it and a can of tuna from the pantry.![]()
Fell asleep in the chair after dinner and never got to post this. Turkey chili (with blackberry jelly) and sweet cornbread with kernel corn. Pretty darn tasty.
