DW was just going thru her coupons and saw one for Eckrich smoked sausage. At the bottom was a recipe for Cheesy Mac & Veggie Smoked Sausage Casserole, and teh picture looks delicious. So, I guess that's what we are having. Early dinner...last night of bread school. Tonight is sourdough breads and artisan breads.

I'm here, peeps. Just haven't checked into the dinner thread yet.

I picked up some clams at the store (uhh, not to be confused with picking up crabs), so I'll steam those and some crab legs tonight for dinner. I've been meaning to try out roasted cauliflower and I bought some of that, too.

Joe, I'd be interested in that recipe. I've got a length of Hillshire smoked sausage all thawed. I might make it tomorrow if it strikes me, and I'm thinking it would.

Fred, this recipe is from Eckrich, but I don't believe the sausage police will visit you if you use Hillshire (go beef!).:lol:

I ended up making dinner, and cheated around the entire recipe. I used tri-color veggie rotini that I boiled, fresh cut broccoli that I steamed, I fried up the cut sausage in my oversized saute pan (I like the crunchy stuff on the sausages when pan fried) , then combined it all in the pan with the sausage and waited for the cheeses to melt. I used Velveeta slices cuz they were in the fridge, and shredded sharp cheddar. I'm not always a follower of directions, especially if I'm in a hurry.

It was delicious, and be sure to have the hot sauce out to enhance the cheeses. DW made a lovely salad to go along with it, and we had pudding cups for dessert. Now it's off to bread school.

Ditto. I've been working all day (and for the next few days) unpacking. building furniture, trying to figure out where to put all the garbage, and hauling crap around. Moving is a PITA. At least I'm back in FL so I think I'll head over to Pelican Larry's, slurp a couple dozen oysters, and wash it down with a pint 'a Guinness. Pix to follow later of course.... :sun3:

It's cold and dismal here today so I used the leftover mustard greens to make white bean and mustard greens soup and made cornbread to go with it.

Joe, you lost me on the Eckrich/sausage police thing... I take it Eckrich is beef sausage? I never even heard of beef sausage, so don't know. It sure looks good though. Mine will be done stovetop like yours. Good job. Your picture looks a LOT better than the one in the recipe. The sausage looks much more appetizing.

Nice leg quarter, Trim. Beautiful color. Good looking meal.

Hey Mama, I picked up a can of mustard greens in the store today. I know, probably not the same thing, but it's a start! lol.

Very nice, Dee. I just had some mashed taters and butter the other night, good stuff. And the pork ribs look great.

Guinness, one dozen oysters, and a Cuban sandwich. It was too dark to take pictures inside with my iPhone. I like to eat in the covered outside area where cigar smoking goes well with the oysters and beer. :wink:

I'm full - and happy.

If they are not seasoned, you may want to doctor them up a bit. Put in a little chicken base, some bacon drippings, maybe some crumbled bacon and a few hot pepper flakes. I cook all my mustard, turnip and collard greens in a chicken broth...takes away any bitterness. :thumb:

I have to agree, love all these pictures. Now if I could just steal the camera back from the wife so I could post my own again...

Thanks, Mama. I'll check out the can closely and see what I need to do.

In case I decide to dive in without plating...

First attempt at roasted cauliflower. I'm really looking forward to this. Lemon juice, EVOO, s&p, garlic.

OMG - this is the best kept secret of all good cooks - bacon drippings! Recently my "good cook" neighbor let me in on the concept that everything tastes better with bacon drippings. And so far, it has panned out for me. Last week I microwaved a couple of cans of baked beans (the same ones I've been heating up for years) and my family raved about them this time! The difference was I added bacon drippings! This stuff is gold, I tell you.

I NEVER throw bacon drippings away. I keep a container in the fridge at all times.

As for the canned baked beans, you can also add a little ketchup, mustard and brown sugar along with the bacon drippings for some awesome baked beans.

That's why I use brown sugar...the darker the sugar the more molasses it has.
