I was out of bread so I needed to make up some buns today. For a change, I made a double batch of dough and used half for regular buns and half for rolled raisin buns. Rolled raisin buns are like a cinnamon roll without the cinnamon (husband hates it). I received a bag of raisins as a gift from my dad, so I decided to begin making use of them. There is a bit of brown sugar and butter rolled up with the raisins. They are very soft and not too sweet. That makes them suitable for breakfast or a snack. In case you are wondering, they are individual rolls and pull apart from the circle.
Tonight for supper I made dijon mushroom drumsticks. You could also use pork which the original recipe calls for on the Campbells website. Yes, it uses condensed cream of mushroom soup, mixed with a bit of dijon mustard, wine and milk. I encourage you to check out the Campbells Soup website as they have tons of economical and delicious recipes available for free. The carrots were not part of their recipe but I added it for colour. I also added garlic to help increase our immune system.
This is chicken cacciatore--a variation on my mom's recipe. I used chicken drumsticks (which you can kind of see in the upper left). I mixed a can of diced tomatoes with a can of, you guessed it, Campbells Tomato Soup. A touch of oregano and basil finished the dish nicely, along with some havarti cheese. It is all served on a bed of linguine.
Lots pantry staples have been used so far this week. And drumsticks! We got a good deal at Superstore... Now that I am low on milk...dangerously low, I have to ration it as our next grocery trip is Sunday. What can I make tomorrow without it? Hmmm....sounds like a challenge!
