Thank you for sharing how you take care of your family. Farmer Boy was always one of my favorites.

Kimi–
Another wonderful carnival! Thank you!

I’ve started making half of my bread dough into buns because they are so convenient to have on hand when I need to give the kids a quick snack or throw something else in my husband’s lunch. My kids love their sandwiches on buns.

I also LOVE Wives and Daughters, and North and South. And I now read Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books with a much different perspective than when I was a kid. Back then I always identified with Laura, and now I identify with Ma–how in the world did she take care of three little girls (including a baby) and do all the other things she did?! What a woman. A great example to me. I’m half-way through reading Farmer Boy to my kids right now and I had the same thought about Almanzo’s mother. She fed her family very well!

**Simple Summer Time Meals Here**
Salmon Quesadillas
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. olive oil
1 can salmon, drained and large bones removed
1 to 2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 pepper
In skillet, saute garlic in oil until tender. Stir in salmon, basil and pepper. Cook over med. heat until heated through. Spread filling on tortilla and top with shredded raw cheese. Fold and place on griddle and cook until melted together. Serve with salsa and guacamole.

Tuna Melts
Canned tuna
Homemade mayo or best mayo available
olives, sliced (opt.)
onion, chopped (opt.)
Small chunks or shredded raw cheese

Mix ingredients. Top pieces of homemade bread, rolls, biscuits or english muffins with mixture. Bake in oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Finish under broiler for a few minutes if you want a browned top.

Basil Burgers
One pound of grass-fed beef
One chopped onion
Lots of fresh basil, chopped
Beef roast seasoning(Penzeys)
Worcestershire sauce

Mix together and make into patties. Pan-fry in skillet or grill. We eat these without a bun. Good with ketchup. No exact measurements just dump in what looks good. Use plenty of basil and onion.

I got this recipe from a CSA garden I was a part of. It is very good. I do add a egg especially if grilling to help them stay together. I do not have the beef roast seasoning so I just add some garlic powder, real salt and pepper. Easy and delicious!

Baked Rice
1/4 melted butter
1 cup brown rice (soaked in warm water and some whey, and then drained)
2 1/2 cups homemade chicken broth
pepper a dash
leftover pieces from baked chicken

Mix all ingredients in order given and place in casserole dish and cover.
Bake at 350 for about 1 hour and half. Check at one hour and 15 minutes you do not want it to be dry so depending on your oven it may get done a few min. early.
So simple and yummy with the homemade broth. I freeze small containers of leftover chicken pieces and then this is easy to whip up.

Thanks to all who are sharing!

Katie,

That sounds really good. I will have to try that, but I prefer my cabbage fried in butter. I bet the whole thing would be good in butter……I may improvise on your idea…

I Also don’t have my own blog, but have a simple meal that my family just loves, and thought that sharing it would bless someone!
Half a bag of organic potatoes
Half a head of organic cabbage
1 onion
and a pound of nitrate free turkey sausage ( smoked flavored )
Just put it all in a large pot with a steamer basket and add water and cover with a lid and steam until cabbage and potatoes are tinder and sausage plumps up!
Salt and enjoy! Sometimes if I feel up to it I add homemade cornbread.
