Okay, I admit it. I am lacking inspiration right now. It may be from being so tired. I do have a lot going on. My sweet husband had out-paitent surgery this week on his shoulder. My middle child has been sick. I am getting over an infection. I just have not felt like being adventurous and trying new recipes.
Tonight was one of those nights where I knew I needed to make dinner but was totally clueless on what to do. I did not feel like running to the store. I peeled potatoes and cut them and put them into a pot to boil. While they were boiling, I put a pound of ground chuck (poor chuck) with a chopped onion and a couple of teaspoons of chopped garlic into a pan to fry up. When the potatoes were done, I drained them and put them back in the pot with a stick of real butter and some milk and mashed them.
I flipped the oven on to 350 degrees. I took a can of Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup and mixed it with a soup can of milk. I poured that in the bottom of a 13 x 9 pan. I added the hamburger/onion mixture and stirred it together. I added some frozen corn and peas and stirred again. I put the mashed potatoes all over the top and threw it in the oven. While this baked, I fried some okra.
This is what we had for dinner. Not exactly totally healthy but not too bad either. What in the world has happened to my inner Italian Grandma? I had no inspiration to make a sauce, a meatball or anything. Maybe I will be better after I get some rest this weekend? I hope so.
