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. Hobo Dinners are the perfect meal to make on a busy weeknight. The hamburger, potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions are all cooked in a foil packet, making clean up virtually nonexistent. To change things up, sometimes I add a wedge of cabbage. Season each layer of vegetables to keep the whole meal flavorful. The Hobo Dinner can be made the night before and placed in the refrigerator.

New Potatoes and Peas in a White Sauce
Old Fashioned New Potatoes and Peas , sometimes called Southern New Potatoes in White Sauce, tender new potatoes and English peas smothered in a rich, creamy white sauce. SOUTHERN NEW POTATOES IN WHITE SAUCE There is one thing for sure about this recipe for New Potatoes, and English Peas has been around for ages. My Mother passed it down to me, and her Mother passed it down to her, a tried and true recipe. The first vegetables I want to eat in the spring from our garden growing up are new potatoes and fresh English peas. Mother would wash and scrap the new potatoes, slice them, or you can also quarter them if you like a chunkier potato. While the potatoes are cooking, she makes the white sauce.
Rush Hour Supper {A Family Favorite One Pot Meal}
Rush Hour Super is an old recipe using ground beef that my Mother in law gave me when I first got married. Something Easy and Quick is what she helped me learn to cook. Sometime in the late 80's my Mother in law gave me this recipe for Rush Hour Supper that someone had given her, that someone had given them, and so on. Isn't it like that, you get a recipe from someone, that gets it from someone, and then you never know where it originated from. All I know is that this recipe was a staple in our house when my children were growing up.
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!
