barney's Cheap Eatin' Thread

Tried a cheesy penne & smoked sausage bake today in my cast iron pumpkin. The recipe needs work (SALT, more sausage, more tomatoes, and a few green peppers) but gave me a nice base for future endeavors..... Plus it gave me an excuse to use the pumpkin!!!!

Had a weird supper. Salad with awvercodders and puffed/popped amaranth on it (pretty dang fantastic). Breakfast casserole, spinach, eggs from the yard, mushrooms and cheese. Garlic cheese stick.

Looks great, but Google didn't know what an awvercodder was what is it?

Lol. Avocado. My wife hates how I pronounce it so I text her the same way I say it. My phone autocorrects it to that now.

The Amaranth is a very versatile pseudocereals. It’s a seed but acts as a grain. She said she wanted some. I didn’t know a bushel was enough to sow 40,000 acres. We are eating it 5 meals a day indefinitely.

Got ya. I'm getting older and hard of hearing, especially if someone has an accent.

I've always have some amaranth in my garden, it's great for greens cooked in bacon grease when it's young and tender as your eye.

I have never bought seeds, just turn ground around here and you have plenty amongst every other crop. Sometimes (mostly every year) it's devels spawn.

Had some shrimp starting to freezer burn so tried Tim Farmer's gumbo for supper tonight. DELICIOUS!!! That recipe is a "keeper" for sure! With few mods I made to use what we had on hand (a pint of dehydrated okra and canned chicken plus simmered for 3 hours to rehydrate the okra really good).

Mamma made this for thanksgiving substituting maple syrup for honey.

It’s what I’m asking for for Christmas.

Sweet and Moist Honey Cornbread from The Food Charlatan

This is my favorite homemade cornbread recipe! It's very moist thanks to oil in the batter, and extra sweet from the sugar and honey. No more dry cornbread!
