The places I mow sometimes have a view...mostly I mow in places surrounded by trees and not much of a view. So a view is appreciated. This is at the end of our old driveway...we don't use it anymore...it fills up with snow in the winter...the snow comes flying off that field.
It was a good afternoon to mow. I am not yet done with round one. I mow a number of areas.
The weather was good; High of 71 F or 22 C low of 46F or 8 C eh. Almost a perfect day to be outside.
Supper was a freezer meal...Chicken & stuffing hotdish. I can report that it freezes well. Far Guy says the recipe is a keeper and we can make it again. It made six large servings.

Yes we call it Hotdish in Minnesota. FYI I didn't add the onion powder, garlic powder, butter or parsley.

Sounds like a yummy dish.
ReplyDeleteMowing is the never ending job of summer unless there is a drought.
My life would be much easier if I cooked ahead of time and made a menu. However, I'm not wired that way.
I'm awful at it.
I mowed my lawn yesterday. Your views are stunning.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, I was a recent Minnesotan transplant and was invited to a party. Being a good guest, I asked the host if I could bring something and she told me to just bring a "hot dish". Being confused, I asked if there were any requirements besides that it was hot when I arrived. She then proceeded to explain to this southern(er) boy what a hot dish was. "Oh, you mean a casserole!" I replied.
ReplyDeleteThat is a long driveway. I did not grow up with the term hotdish, even as a born Minnesotan. As I grew older and ventured out of St. Paul it became a word I knew!
ReplyDeleteSounds delish!! Hotdish - such a Minnesota expression. Actually folks around this part of SD used the same expression when I moved here decades ago. I love going to a potluck and tasting lots of different hotdishes.
ReplyDeleteYou have a large space to mow, nice to have some views for sure!
ReplyDeleteI was confused about hotdish too in the past, but what really makes me chuckle is the Minnesota salads that aren't really salads but desserts.
That would be a good dish. It is a variation on Chicken Casserole they make in this area and top with Ritz Crackers.
ReplyDeleteWe had grilled chicken the other day. Maybe I mentioned before that I read you should marinate it in olive oil with spices. It keeps it from drying out when cooking. Ours was done in the iron skillet.
Beautiful views - - glad the weather is pretty.
This sounds delicious, Connie. I'm definitely going to give it a whirl. This type of dish is my version of "fast food". Simple to whip up after a busy day. Thank you for sharing. ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! I’m always looking for freezer meal ideas. It’s been rainy here, and the moisture is welcome.
ReplyDeleteI just copied the recipe to try, too. It seems pretty fast and easy.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't add the onion or garlic powder either. It does sound good.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a cook. But what I cook isn’t too good. Yesterday I bought Wendy’s small chili and baked potato. I have a problem when I cook a large dish. Lucky I do have chickens.
ReplyDelete71 isn't too bad. It's supposed to be in the 90's here today. Getting hot around here.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds really good! Your photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely summer sky!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice scenic pictures and the recipe. Sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteNice photos
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty view! The hot dish sounds yummy and it's something I can have. Thanks for the recipe.
