What's For Dinner? Sunday June 18 - Saturday 24

[Embryodad]

I miss the old Swanson's dinners. They had more varieties (I liked the German and Mexican dinners). There was a lot more variety in the desserts, carbs (loved the tater tots) and veggies. I also loved the meatloaf with tomato gravy the best. They really went down hill.

I remember when Mortons made tv dinners for $ 0.39 cents each when on sale.
Mom saved the tin foil trays, and made her own frozen dinners. Dad always had 2 dinners; because he was big mom said!

I liked those. Mom would save up to buy them. Some had tomato soup and another had chicken noodle.

Homemade fried chicken nuggets, potato slices and onion pan fried in butter, and corn kernels.

I think today I'll make an old-fashioned recipe similar to what my Grams use to make , for cheeseburger casserole.
I'll be using small shell pasta, instead of something bulky.

Our Granddaughter was here swimming most of the day and worked up an appetite. She wanted to go to the New Mexican place.

Tina was up early, and breaded chicken thighs and covered and placed them back in the fridge.
Then she fried them at 5:30 tonight. They were good, and we had that with potato salad, macaroni for me, salad, and pork and beans. Later will be a Boston Cream doughnut ,and a jelly filled doughnut for her.

Well..... Tina cooked already for supper. Meatloaf is done; so is the mashed potatoes, and gravy.
Broccoli just has to be steamed 10 minutes before we sit down to eat.
She even made a pan of rice crispy & marshmallow treats for our dessert.
