Trying to make sure my son doesn't end up down a similar road.
That was the first attempt at kabobs. I might try giving the zucchini and squash next time so that everything cooks more evenly. They were pretty good though.
CostCo is your friend! They can't make you add them to the meal, but they can make it hurt the wallet less.. [Reply]

Walmart has some decent stuff, too. I got a 3-pound bag of Thai stir fry veggies (you don't have to use the sauce) for $6. I'm not a broccoli fan, and this doesn't have any of it.
Carrots, Celery, Onions, Red Bell Peppers, Yellow Bell Peppers, Snow Peas, Baby Cob Corn, Soybeans, Water Chestnuts [Reply]

Ah, I love broccoli.. We go through more than a bag of CostCo Normandy mix a week.. [Reply]
Don't know what got into me?! I've borscht once and loved it. But it was from a packet sampler at the Polish mini-market near me. Always wanted to make a borscht on my own. Had to up the lemon and a tad more sweetener to my taste though.
Okay, some say it's really of Ukrainian origin but the Russians, Poles and all those slavic countries make borscht. They're all slavic countries anyway. So it's still a Russian dish.
It wasn't enough for dinner, but more an appetizer, so I figured I'd serve Russian blinis for the main course. I know beef stroganoff is a well-known Russian meal, so I decided to make mine stuffed with beef stroganoff ground beef inside with the usual sour cream mushroom sauce. The beef has minced onions and mushrooms and some of the mushroom sauce. Blinis are really thin pancakes...and eggy.
The Russians use a lot of sour cream and mayo in their foods. Then top just about everything off with dill. I love dill myself. I forgot the sour cream on first pics but added it on the close-up shot when I finally remembered it.

Oh and a shot of Stolichnaya Vodka. Yah!
Never had Russian food that that looks pretty damn good to me! :-)
Ham and beans in the crock pot. Killer recipe. This is the last of several meals using a large bone-in ham that was 95c/lb. It's the best ham I've had. Low salt and very flavorful. [Reply]
Marinated tri tip in Bloody Mary mix and a few other things, sous vide for a few hours at 130, chilled, got my grill as hot as I could and seared about 3 minutes per side.
I’ve been working a pile of hours lately so I haven’t eaten anything good lately but the wife laid out some burgers to cook and damn did they hit the spot.
No pics. They looked like shit. But just a reminder to cook even when you’re busy. [Reply]

Their Stir-fry bag is awesome as well. I use one or the other almost daily for a side with something at night.
I think I got the idea from you, right? And yeah, the great news is, here in KC, the Costco is right next to the hockey rink, so we're there 2, usually 3, times a week, so it's a quick trip into the Costco for my veggie fix... Between Costco veggies and the Olive Garden dressing I sear them in, my meat intake has been gone down significantly. [Reply]
