Hamburger on the grill. Yum! I subscribed to Pioneer Woman’s email newsletter. May 2 included the awesome-sounding [Knock You Naked brownies](http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/05/knock-you-naked-brownies/). ---

The kids have been [New York Asian Escort](http://www.nyorientalescort.com) clamoring for “breakfast for dinner” - their favorite, and a big time-saver for me - so I finally gave in tonight: Pancakes, eggs, cheese [New York Escort](http://www.nyorientalescort.com) grits, bacon, and fresh fruit. [New York Asian Escorts](http://www.nyorientalescort.com) Quick and easy, but terrible [New York Escorts](http://www.nyorientalescort.com) fat- and calorie-wise, so we don’t do it too often. The current forecast is calling for cold and wet and messy and icy, so tomorrow will probably be soup or pot roast. Any great soup recipes? (Kid-friendly a plus - they aren’t picky, but the 10-year-old isn’t exactly an adventurous eater.) ---

Long, busy day yesterday, so I went simple: beefaroni. Today is even longer and busier, if you can believe it! So I going even simpler: grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. ---

That stir-fry was good, but it could have been crisper with a wok. Still, it’ll make the weekly rotation or every other week at least. Tonight is quarter wing night 🙂 ---

Well, I knew today was going to be long and busy, but I had _no_ idea that it was going to turn into the cluster-fuck it turned into! So dinner ended up being KFC! ---

Locally-smoked salmon on a toasted bagel with cream cheese, red onion, and Swiss cheese, and toasted. Also ‘secret soup’. (I’ll find out when I taste it.) ---

> [@zoid](#): > > Sounds interesting - care to share the details? Sure. Start with some minced garlic, and satue in butter/margarine. cook your chicken a bit till it’s sorta browned but not done. remove chicken and add 1 can tomato paste, 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnimon, and 1-2 C water. stir well, add salt and pepper to taste, then put your chicken back in along with some potatoes and/or vegatable, and simmer til done.. (keep in mind measurements are approximate. I always just eyeball it!!) If you are making stew, use bonless chicken and add extra water. ---

The only change I would make to it is I would use stock instead of water; stock in a box would be fine, it just adds an extra layer of flavor. ---

pulled pork & veggie version of a shep’s pie. It’s a great way to use extra barbecue meat. It freezes well in individual servings. ---
