two successes in one week!

January 5th, 2007 at 01:02 am

Two new meals, plus a doctered up potato soup, I am on a roll! Of course we have company comming next week, that is when the other end of the cooking coin will turn up...poor company!

Tonights was named 'pinky macaroni' by the kids..it was half chili, half taco, half macNcheese....yeah I know thats three halves Smile Pretend it is a 'venn diagram' with overlapping circles or something!

I went looking for a recipe to use up the sour cream, I normaly don't cook with it, but it was in the beefless wonder the other night and I used some in potato soup, I had a big scoop of it left, and needed to use it before it went bad.

Of course you know the actual dinner bears no resemblance to the tex mex mac that inspired it!

Pinky pasta

2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 can of refried beans
1 can of blackeyed peas (only beans we had)
1/2 packet of taco seasoning (leftover after making dip)
some chili powder
some onion powder
some cumin
some terragon (kids asked for it....)
rest of sour cream (bout 1/3rd cup)

Cook, simmer serve over elbow mac with shredded cheese. (as with many sauces, easy on sauce for kids, I made it almost soupy for adults)

I am particularly fond of the fact that there were enough leftovers for my husband and for the kids and I for lunch, now that UE eats with us, many meals that formerly made it for lunches were comming up short, so I have to adjust, I think I am finally getting the hang of it!

    yum perky! i'd be tempted to sub a jar of on-sale-salsa for the 2 cans of tomatoes and see what it's like...
