I know this may not help, but I "wing" it and make it different each time.
I dice peeled potatoes and fill enough water to cover them in a crock pot. Some times I use extra broth (and with broth I don't add extra salt). I toss in organic whole kernel corn, creamed corn (about 1 1/2 cups each or more). I cook that on low all day, and 1/2 way through I add sliced smoked sausage (today I used smoked turkey sausage). When it's about 1 hour from serving I add milk (however much you like, and I have used goat's milk, canned milk and regular whole organic milk). I shred Swiss or cheddar cheese (today I used Swiss). Serve after the cheese melts and milk warms in the chowder. Add pepper (and salt if you are not cooking in broth).
An update for my salad. Some of us liked it, some didn't. It had winter greens, cooked onions and shallots, redskin pears, and goat's cheese. The dressing was made with some of the cooked onion, fresh parsley, wine vinegar, and vegetable broth (salt and pepper too). It was okay, but I would like to add more greens of a different type. The kids loved the goat cheese with the pears.
Hope that helps. I kind of create as I go.

Nicole, Happy Birthday! I hope it was a wonderful one :)
Alyce, I'm sorry to hear of your honey's food poisoning. I hope he is doing better!
We had Pioneer Woman's Cheeseburger Salad tonight (minus the croutons). It was easy and satisfying :)

Thanks, Sharon. He is; he slept for 11 hours last night and managed to hold down food. I am starting to think the shrimp alfredo is a bad idea since every time I plan it, something goes wrong!
Tonight may depend on how my visit to the dentist goes. I'm kind of craving salmon though.
A hook, a book, and a good cup of coffee.... |

Glad to hear he is doing better Alyce. That's a tough thing to deal with and so miserable.
Salmon sounds really good! I have been craving that for awhile.
Tonight will be something light with chicken. Haven't figured that out yet.
Kristina, Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese is my FAVORITE comfort meal :) I hope the kids are feeling better soon!

Sorry to hear about everyone being sick at your house, Kristina. Glad Ric is feeling better, Alyce. Thanks for all the wonderful wishes yesterday, sisters! DH definitely outdid himself and we three had the most wonderful dinner. So, tonight is leftovers from our dinner out last night, followed by more of the wonderful birthday cake DH got me from some cute little bakery near where he works. After twenty years, he still manages to surprise me. Gonna have to walk the dog double this week from all the calories, LOL! But it was all so delicious, and love that we are getting two meals out of it, to boot!

It was around 70 at dinnertime, we had daddy burgers. DH mixes it himself and spices it up just right. Tomorrow is Fanchese's.
God bless,
Judy

Tonight is Thursday, busy night. Making "Texas Rice and Beans", a family favorite. It has beef, kidney beans, peppers, tomatoes, and tabasco but it is not spicy. Served over hot rice.
