Weeknight Family Supper Meal: #5 Spaghetti Pie

The Weeknight Family Supper Meal is an inspiration for a meal that can be enjoyed any night of the week, offering ideas on how to prepare part of the meal ahead, how to freeze leftovers, and how to repurpose them into a new meal. With Valentine's Day next Wednesday, I thought you might like a meal for the special occasion.   When my children were small, we chose to celebrate the moment with them at the family table instead of a quiet, romantic meal just my husband and me.   I would set the table with fine china, crystal tea glasses, real cloth napkins, and, well, the silverware was our everyday fare. I would serve a one-pot dish, such as Shrimp Creole over buttered rice, accompanied by a green salad. For dessert, we would have chocolate cake.   Oh, the memories are flooding in.  sniff sniff!

Weeknight Family Supper Meal: #4 Salmon Croquettes

Weeknight Family Supper Meal is  an inspiration for a meal one night of the week, offering ideas on how to prepare part of the meal ahead, how to freeze any leftovers, or how to repurpose leftovers into a new meal.    Most people don't know how easy it is to make salmon croquettes.  Mix up a few ingredients, mince the onions, egg, and seasoning in a bowl.  Roll them into small balls, then roll them in saltine cracker crumbs and fry in oil.  Voila, salmon croquettes.   See how easy, and oh! so delicious.   Perfect for a weeknight meal.

Southern Fried Cabbage with Kielbasa, LTYB, Low Carb, Gluten Free

Southern Fried Cabbage with Kielbasa , is a quick and easy one skillet meal for a busy weeknight supper.  Delicious, satisfying, and inexpensive, who could ask for more? Fried Cabbage is a regular side dish around our supper table.  Jim loves cabbage period, and so do I.  We usually add some kind of cabbage dish to our meal rotation two or three times a month.    Cabbage is low carb and has healthy nutrients and fiber.  It can be fried in different fats all the way from rich bacon fat to healthy avocado oil which is what I cooked it in this time. Although, I really like to cook cabbage in bacon fat we are trying to eat healthy these days so for this recipe I started the dish by cooking some thickly sliced turkey kielbasa chunks.
