Do you think olive oil grows directly from the tree? Or do you understand that it is also processed? |
I work. I very rarely do casseroles. Mostly do a meat and a steamed veggie. If I do meatloaf, it's baked in muffin tins - that's faster. I do make sloppy joe from scratch with a can of tomato sauce and a tiny bit of coconut sugar. |
What mayo do you use? |
Is there any way that we could all get together to ban this poster from DCUM? No reason, except she is really, really irritating. |
I know what you mean. When we visited my grandparents we would always have grilled cheeses made with government cheese and government butter (as opposed to the Kraft slices and margarine we had at home), cooked in Grandma’s cast iron skillet and in summer, they would be topped with slices of fresh tomato from Grandad’s garden. They were amazing. |
Growing up I thought manwich was cannes meat and super gross. It wasn't until my late 30s that I met my husband did I realize it was a can of spiced tomato sauce. My spouse really likes old school recipes but tuna noodle casserole is a bridge too far for me. |
It’s not really…the stuff in a can is just sauce. You are cooking the beef and onion and if you want to make from scratch it is very easy to make the sauce from tomato paste, brown sugar, and some spices. Make your own buns if you want or buy some good ones from a bakery. You don’t have to use cheap gross buns. |
Well a good reason is that these kinds of comments belong on Diet and Exercise and not here. You can report them to Jeff for being off-topic. |
Things I make from my childhood:
-Stuffed green peppers -fluffer nutter sandwiches (peanut butter and marshmallow) -fried egg and cheese sandwich -Swedish meatballs I should bring back sloppy joes. My kids would like. I tried the lentil version and it was an epic fail. Even I thought it was gross and I love lentils. |
Knorr Spinach Dip https://www.knorr.com/us/en/r/knorr-spinach-dip-recipe.html/68467 Yum! I still see it a lot at parties. It has those water chestnuts in it that a PP was missing! Get ready for the anti-mayo chick to faint from the vapors! |
I made "pizza burgers" the other day. Organic hamburger meat (my choice), pizza sauce, sauted red onion, nice buns, melty cheese and a broiler. I'm practically vegetarian, but randomly saw the recipe and got a weird, huge craving and made them for my family at lunch. They insisted on calling them sloppy joes and I called them pizza burgers. It was funny! |
Pizza Joes? |
Wow, government cheese. My super cheap parents would get that. Yes to stuffed peppers, "Hawaiian meatballs" , TANG, wonder bread, Spam and Durkee sauce, meat loaf... I just asked Mom and dad to send me a cocktail party recipe ..it was like a broiled onion and mayo toast. Delish. And they served Glug a lot. |
Yes, there is nothing more tiresome than an adult who is a “picky eater.” |
Remember that "chicken chow mein" kit you could buy from a company called La Choy? It was virtually tasteless even though full of soy sauce and msg -- I'm not even sure how that is possible.
Also -- chicken ala king, chipped beef on toast, french bread pizza, kool-aid, Tab, welsh rarebit, chicken kiev (they had frozen ones at the grocery store), turkey divan (it used up some of the leftover Thanksgiving turkey), Pepperidge Farm pound cake (they still have it in the store though). Do people buy raisin bread anymore? But yeah, sloppy joes would be on my list too -- we had them (the "Manwich" canned stuff with ground beef) and I never liked them. They make the bread soggy -- yuck. |
