I love mashed and gravy (pork gravy is my fav) with peas or spinach. I sometimes have that for a meal on it's own.
We're gonna do blue cheese and spinach stuffed chicken wraps
Just got back from the farmers market. The veggies are starting to to grow in northern Wisconsin. Two small bags of beef garlic sticks lasts me a week. Also, a big chunk of totally grass fed sirloin to go with the mushrooms tomorrow or Monday.

I have 14 people coming for a Swedish Smorgasbord.
I recently joined a gourmet dinner group in town, and we get together for dinner based on a pre-selected theme. This month's theme is Sweden, and I'm the host. I'm making Swedish meatballs with cream gravy and lingonberry jam. Others are bringing the rest.
I'll post pics tomorrow.

OH MAMA that looks good!

Everyone's dinners sound so very good! Swedish meatballs, hamburgers, chicken wings and taco salad - yum all of it!
I sure didn't feel like cooking today so I threw some hot dogs into some Beanie Weenies and made us a salad. Din din.
Delicious, Mama!

Ya wanna know what poor old Jimminootze had for supper?
Bread from Anthony & Sons Bakery..with butter.... Italian sesame seeded bread, and also some slices of challa Bread that they bake there. I did throw some cheese in between for flavor.
Mommy did a bread run today while visiting her friend!
I'm not complainin..but see what happens when breads are placed on the table.....Ha Ha Ha Ha .....
I fried potatoes and onions with chopped ham slices with lots of black pepper for tomorrows breakfast of "Alices Eggs" filled with Jimminootzes ham / onion / tater filling topped with cheese.Lots of hot sauce to compliment the egg dish. Oooooo! I can't wait!
And tomorrow we are going to DS's for a Father's day BBQ... Early though...like a late lunch thing. That's ok, cuz I will be ready.
Geeze, I wonder if DIL is gonna cook on the grill..
If I know her...she will have the London broil and Hot dogs all done and in the heaters... Sliced and just ready to serve. She's a great preparer kid. Cooks good too. the basics like chicken and beef amd roasts and taters etc. If my son eats it...Mr Fuss @$$...it has to be cooked good. LOL

Oooh Mama!
Nice as usual!
Nancy, your dinners always have something very special about them, yummy!
Well, there was no cooking tonight, but I DID meet a friend at what is becoming our favourite place, Cabo LOL
This time I had the Queso Blanco/GarlickyShrimp/Rice served with lettuce tomato and guacamole and 3 flour tortillas.... aka Elisia's Special.
I was Stuffed!
This is the 5th time I have eaten there and it is superb!
/rant on
Wanted to slug this guy at the next table over.
From what I gathered, he was treating the family of 4 he'd come in with.
He was talking about what a fab place it is (true) and how he was an experienced lover/expert on Mexican food, and had eaten at some of the finest authentic Mexican restaurants across the nation.
While highly recommending the family on what they should order off the menu, I was nearly choking as he went down the list of specials, one by one, pronouncing just about everything on the menu wrong and using his hands in sweeping gestures to describe what that particular menu item tasted like.
Gawd!
I was so glad when the waitress showed up so he'd shut up, but then when he started ordering for them off the menu, that's when it really got fun.. listening to the waitress (Sophie) repeat what he'd say (correctly) with a twinkle in her eye lol
click! rant off/
Sorry Peeps, I will get to that burger and mac salad.. eventually lol

Oh gosh, Buzz, your haul at the farmers' market looks SO good. Rhubarb! Those mushrooms!
Good looking dinners again tonight - gotta love those beanie weenies, Nancy. And mashed potatoes...oh boy.
Mama- your dinner looks wonderful. Such rich looking gravy and tender beef. Our beef is all grass fed, which is understandably good, but it is not very tender, and sometimes a little stringy, especially for pot roast.
SS - Your dinner club sounds like fun. Hope you take pictures of everything and share them with us.
I blackened some salmon in my CI skillet, seasoned with creole seasoning and cooked in a mix of butter and avocado oil. That stuff on the lettuce is a mix of cottage cheese, chopped cucumbers, diced grape tomatoes, and sliced green onions. Very tasty. In the overexposed bowl is some tartar sauce made with diced sweet pickles, mayo, sour cream and dill.

Yummy Karen 
Oops, I just went back and looked again...that's cottage cheese with the beanie weenies, isn't it? I just hallucinate mashed potatoes - don't mind me....
Thanks, Sass - your dinner sounds terrific...I share your distaste for "know-it-alls." It is especially fun to listen to them down here, trying to impress their dinner guests with their encyclopedic knowledge of Mexican food, and usually ending up to be all wrong....
I think this fella must have been visiting the bar area at Cabo prior to his guests arriving.
Myself and Justine were already seated and eating our complimentary tortilla chips and their lovely salsa (both homemade by the way) waiting for our food when know-it-all and his people walked through to be seated.
The place was packed and a ball game was playing on the large screen telly.
He looked around and said something about how nice it was to see so many happy faces in the place, but all through dinner you could hear his yap going above all else.
The young daughter of the couple he came in with was looking at the menu and asked about sopapillas.
He said they are like a burrito with chicken in them.
The wife of the man with them corrected him on that one, and I almost slid under the table.
FANTASTIC meals ladies!!
Everyones meals sounds yummy.
I love a nice piece of sesame Italian bread with butter or dipped in tomato salad juice!! OH darn now I want garlic bread. Shame on you Jimmy!! LOL BTW I made fried potatoes and onions for breakfast aslo. They just go so well together. I had mushrooms but decided to just go with taters and onions on the side. I was originally going to added the eggs to the taters but changed my mind.
So Sass dinner and a comedy show? LOL Glad the food was good.
This is the kind of suppers my dh enjoys...
