Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads.

I don't suppose your men would eat flowers in a salad, would they, D? Just toss some ground beef mixed with barbecue sauce on top of it, mix with cheese and let 'em at it.
Oooh, good ideas, kLr! Especially the banana splits! Throw a few nuts on and you have almost all the major food groups. :-)
Cheryl, only one of my boys will touch salad. It sounds good to me though!
Here's a favorite low carb meal:
Cheeseburger Pie
1 lb ground beef
1/2 chopped onion
4 slices crisp bacon, crumbled
salt and pepper
1/2 t garlic powder
3 eggs
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup half and half
8 oz shredded cheese
Brown beef with onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix in bacon. Press beef mixture into bottom of deep dish pie pan. Preheat oven to 350. Combine eggs,mayo, half and half, cheese. Mix well. Pour mixture over meat. Bake 40-45 minutes until top is browned and set. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.
I love those crock pot recipes, too. We like this one:
South Seas Dish
Brown a pound of ground beef or ground turkey or even venison.
Drain and put in crockpot.
Add Veg All or English Peas or vegetables of choice
Can of sliced water chesnuts, drained
Can of mushrooms, drained.
Can of French onion soup.
1/2 cup golden raisins
Soy sauce...to suit your taste
2 tsp.ground ginger
Cook in crockpot 3-4 hours.
Serve on Rice; can put slivered almonds on top and orange slices. I like a bit of sour cream on top.
ENJOY
this is a dish DH likes,
cooked cabbage and Hominy,
it's good,
Beans and cornbread
Two cubed steak meals are great for crock pot:
Brown steak in skillet. Layer potatoes in bottom of crockpot, top with browned steaks. Mix one or two envelopes of dried onion soup mix with water and pour over meat. Yum.
Or
Brown steak in skillet, the place in crock pot. Top with sliced onions, bell pepper chunks, and canned diced tomatoes. Yum again.
We just discovered E-Mealz and will be checking them out. You might want to see if it would help you too. They send out weekly meal plans based on your diet preferences and/or preferred grocery store (or any store). www.e-mealz.com. (I'm not affiliated with them - I just discovered them last week.)
Oooh, those all sound yummy! I'll have to check out E-Mealz, Tracy. Thanks!
Have you tried a Shepherd's Pie? They're pretty easy & can be done in a crock pot, except for the very end. I make a huge batch, then freeze one for another time. :)
I'll send you my recipe.
Well, my email bounced, so here it is:
Usually Shepherd's Pie is ground beef & veggies, but I put a couple of cross cut beef shanks and a pound of ground beef in the crock pot with a bullion cube. Cover it with water (just to the top of the beef shanks) and cook all day. About the last hour, toss in peas & carrots (frozen). Boil some potatoes and mash them. Put the meat & veggies in a casserole dish, thicken the gravy (juice from the crock pot) then seal it all in with a topping of mashed potatoes and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees (or until the potatoes brown a bit).
You can adjust to the amount of work you want to do. I brown some onions when I thicken the gravy, and toss those in. You could even top with a sprinkling of cheese. :)
Burritos!
2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
2 large jars of salsa (I usually do one medium and one mild, but it's also fun to change it up and put in one of the gourmet salsas that have different seasonings in them like chipotle)
2 cans chili beans with sauce
Heat ingredients in a crock pot for about 4 hours. Remove chicken and shred in another bowl. Slightly mash the beans and salsa left in the crock pot. Add the chicken back into the sauce and continue to let it simmer in the crock pot for another half hour or so. Serve on warm tortillas with various toppings... cheese, chopped onion, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, etc.
