For nannying I made minestrone and for supper, for my husband and I, homemade sloppy joes. I made two dinners worth of it for putting in all the effort.
I must be into cooking because today all I can think about is what I cooked. Cooking new dishes is another form of me painting a masterpiece that happens to be edible. Maybe these dishes are simple to you or maybe your a mastery chef, but these dishes are new to me. Growing up I was accustomed to many take outs, box foods or frozen meals. Making dishes from fresh produce or flesh (aka, meat) is new to me. [ Believe it…at the end of the year2011 it was my first time cooking real bacon on the stove. ]
While nannying for lunch I made homemade cut up veggi minestrone. I was a natural Italian in the kitchen but the dish was a little heavy for the kids on the red pepper flakes. Darn. Is that true for all kids not liking spicy food?
Nightfall in my house, Sloppy Joes. Every time I say the word “sloppy joe” I get a snapshot in my mind of a child with smeared red sauce painting their face with a moon silver grin ear-to-ear. I am jubilated to see my future children’s faces with this dish. If you want to get the smeared effect without grains you can use cabbage as the buns.
In the evening the Denny and April family went bunless. For dinner I made homemade sloppy joes minus the carbs.
2 medium onion, chopped, 2 medium green pepper, chopped, 4 cloves of garlic, 2Tbsp Chili powder, 1tsp ground cumin, 2 lb ground beef, get lean, 2 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
