Potato Pancakes, Bacon, Eggs, and leftover lemon meringue pie.
The potato pancakes were my dad's recipe, which I had to call him to get and they were almost as good as his. Nobody cooks potatoes like daddy, though. Wonderful dinner, very warm and comforting.

I love this thread. I get ideas from you guys all the time!
I eat low carb, so sometimes I can eat what I make for my family without the carby sides, other times I make myself something else.
Last night the family had pizza, I had turkey meatballs, with a sugar free sauce, cheese, and spinach mixed in, and for desert plain greek yogurt with stevia and pecans.
Tonight maybe beef and broccoli, served with lo mein noodles for family....me without the noodles.

Okay, Hope, now you have to share the recipe! Ha! Recipe is pretty loose description, but grate 3 or 4 potatoes, put an egg with them, enough flour to make it doughy, salt and pepper to taste, and fry them up. All of the recipes I found on a quick google involved instant potato flakes and that just wasn't working for me. I think it's been almost 2 months since I've had any high fructose corn syrup and I'm down 12 lbs in that time (total weight loss of 56lbs! Yay me!). We are trying to eat less refined foods, maybe not a healthy diet by my mother's standards, but a less refined, cooked at home diet at least.

I'm jealous Mel - the avocados up here are icky.
We had scalloped potatoes, DH had hot wings, and I had cajun grits and bacon. And, some Honey Brown Ale to go with it.
Leftovers for lunch today at work, those potatoes were incredible.

Logan, I like your idea for the cheesy taco bake, what type of noodles do you use? I was thinking maybe elbow macaroni, I could make up a small batch for me minus the pasta too!
Hope I like your idea for potato cakes too, I have never made them myself, but H used to make them for us if we had leftover mashed potatoes and they were SO GOOD!
Last night we had smoked pork shoulder, we shredded it up and made sandwiches, mine with a lettuce wrap, green beans, and baked potatoes, and mac and cheese for family.
Tonight thinkin beef stroganoff for family and chicken and salad for me.

I have a couple different mexican casserole dishes I make. This one called for noodles and I used macaroni. I have others that use tortilla chips, corn torillas, or flour tortillas.

For me tonight - black bean soup over white rice. It's nutritional and considering that someone gave me the can of soup it is going to be inexpensive
I'm pretty much at one meal per day so I try to make it the best possible at this time. I've gotten used to hot dogs -esp. if i can afford a can of chili with it and the rice too. I have a couple of the hot dogs left so that will be for Friday night and maybe watch a tv movie after it. I still have some cans of green beans and saving them for later meals.
I've been reading quite abit lately and don't think that you need to have a meal every day to survive. I'm reminded that there are many who don't even have what I have like rice or oher things and can survice for awhile.
