The pipeliner has been gone off and on since mid December.
While I miss him like crazy,
it gives me the freedom from having a nightly meal on the table.
Plus it gives me a chance to eat some of my favorites.
Things that he just refuses to eat.
I started out with my all time favorite,
liver and onions!
YUM!
I made meatloaf one night when the daughter and grandson were here.
The little man loved it!
I've fixed sauerkraut and sausage, chicken and dumplings, red beans and rice.
Can you believe the man doesn't like any of these tastey dishes?
Tonight a made a big batch of lima beans my style!
I will share the recipe with you guys!
2 cans lima beans drained
1 can tomato soup
small onion chopped
green pepper chopped
1 cup brown sugar
4 slices bacon chopped
1 tbsp mustard
Mix all ingredients together.
You can bake it in the oven for an hour or so at 350 F.
Or throw it in the crockpot.
Set the temperature on low and let it simmer all day!
Thats how I cooked it today.
The house smells great!
I can't wait to have a big ol' bowl!
On the menu next,
deep fried chicken livers!

You are cooking some things that I like. I love green lima beans but I have never fixed them BBQD. sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteI am running out of things to cook! lol...Glad we don't have any fast food resturants by me or I would be in big trouble! lol...
DeleteThose dishes sound great to me. Your beans look great.
ReplyDeleteThe bean recipe came from my first mother-in-law. She made them for every holiday.
DeleteHa! He doesn't like any of those?!?!? I am shocked! I would eat anything you made! Everything always looks so fantastic! And what a creative spin on lima beans! I will have to try it with my own beans!!! I do hope he comes back soon and has a longer stretch...you take care and keep on cooking!!! Nicole xoxo
ReplyDeleteI hate when the hubby is gone this long! UGH! Getting tired of cooking for one. Had a big bowl of cereal for supper tonight, and that tasted pretty good! Have a nice weekend!!
DeleteWhen my husband used to be away- liver and onions used to be on my menu, love that meal!!
ReplyDeleteIf my hubby would just try it I know he would love it!
DeleteJill, I love liver and onions! Liz, that's a great idea, and my kids would eat them.
ReplyDeleteFresh liver is the best! Now my mouth is watering! lol...
DeleteMy hubby wouldn't eat most of those things either! Men, go figure! The lima beans look yummy, pass the cornbread! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat wrong with these guys? lol....
DeleteSome of them sound good. Liver and onions - NO!, Lima Beans - NO!, Chicken Livers - NO! But now chicken and dumplings, meatloaf and red beans and rice - YES!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Well at least you could come eat 3 meals with me! lol...
DeleteThe lima bean recipe sounds delicious! Liver and onions are one of my favorites, since I was a little girl! I'm enjoying your blog. Thanks for finding me...and joining my blog!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

My late MIL made these beans at every special meal! Its always nice to find fellow bloggers that have the same interests! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLiz
These look and sound delicious! I would have never thought of the combination but my mouth is watering. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great recipe passed down from my MIL!
DeleteI have never heard of this, it looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy MIL made these for most holidays. Not a fan of lima beans, but these sure are good!
DeleteHi Liz, Your barbecued lima beans look good! Thanks for the recipe. I'm going to have to give them a try!
ReplyDeleteThey are good, even reheated!
DeleteI'll be right over to share a meal with you. I love all those things, especially liver and onions. I'll have to try the lima bean recipe too - it looks great and I love lima beans. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new house. I bet you're anxious to move in and get settled.

It so funny how many people commented they like liver and onions, go figure! Can't wait to move in! Thanks for stopping by Cindy. :)
DeleteI've never had BBQ lima beans before, but I bet they are good! I do like lima beans but haven't had them in years. Good for you for making all the meals you like! :)
ReplyDeletePS - Thanks for the blog suggestion about goats. I'll check it out!
I was never a fan of lima beans until my MIL made them this way. I hope you do stop by Debras blog. She is truly a homesteader!
DeleteThis sounds very similar to my baked brown beans recipe ... mine is with navy beans. All these dishes sound good (just wavering on deep-fried chicken livers). I'm glad meatloaf has always been a favourite in our family because I always loved it when my mom made it too ;) Hope your husband comes back home soon ... I'll bet he'll be looking forward to some homecooked meals! Wendy x
ReplyDeleteI have a baked bean recipe that has a mix of beans including navy. Thats the first thing the hubby wants is a nice home cooked meal. Eating out gets old! Thanks for stopping by!
