Hi Everyone,
I wanted to thank all of you that commented on the post asking about your thoughts of continuing Food Wednesdays last week.
Many of you mentioned that you really enjoy the food posts, and I have really enjoyed visiting everyone too and learning new things. The participation has dropped over the last two weeks so that is why I put it out there if you all were wanting to continue with our Food Wednesdays link up.
I do know that there are several art link ups already and other link ups many participate in so it was hard to choose a day. Wednesday can be rough after T for Tuesdays, but then other days have link ups too, and there is only so much time we all have to participate in these link ups.
I have decided after May to set up Food Wednesday for the first Wednesday of each month, especially during these summer months and see if we like this and also if we can get more interest of others linking up and sharing food posts. We will decide this coming fall if we like posting once a month or if we would like to post every week again, and/or if you want to continue.
OK enough of business and on to the Food. If you are a new visitor this link up is all about the Food-so no rules except to share anything about food and to be kind to one another.
I didn't bake anything this past week and also we ate pretty simply last week. I did make a goulash one day. Larry has never been crazy about this dish but I have always liked it once in awhile.
Very simple ingredients browned up a coarse ground hamburger and seasoned with below
Cooked up this gluten free pasta, drained added to the meat, and stirred in this sauce. Simple and good tasting. I made us each a fresh salad as a side
I ordered a new book that sounded interesting that came in the mail last week. I am really enjoying reading this book. Lots of gardening ideas, and many ideas for drinks either with a little alcohol or none Amazon had this in a spiral book which would have been nicer to use-but high priced and I didn't find another one online, so i bought this paperback version
The author covers allot of topics, the plants with recipes, she even had garden layouts, and covered tea plants too-that may be interesting to look into for adding to my garden.

Now it is your turn to share your Food Wednesdays post. Please share the url for your Food Wednesdays post and not your blog's url thank you and have fun
That pasta looks HEAVENLY! p.s Just added my bread roll recipe. Have a good week ahead, Kathy.
ReplyDeletethank you soooo much Angie for linking up for food wednesdays-I love your recipes. this pasta dish was really good-thanks
DeleteI just updated the blog and added the Food Wednesdays link in my post too. Thanks for doing this and sharing all the good foods with us, Kathy.
Deletethank you so much Angie-thank you again for sharing with us for Food Wednesays hugs
DeleteGood goulash and the book sounds good! Ok on Food Wed plans
ReplyDeletethank you for finding this post this was suppose to go live tuesday evening and instead I put the wrong date in-I couldn't figure out why I was getting comments already ha ha I will set up a link to go here
Deletethanks and this goulash did turn out pretty good
DeleteThat book looks really interesting Kathy and your goulash looks like my spaghetti! Over the years i add more and more to my spaghetti... zucchini, mushrooms... Hubs is not crazy about tomato sauce period but i love it and yours looks really good with your ziti noodles! Happy Food Wednesday! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteThis was an interesting book and I read it cover to cover. really good for a beginner gardener, but I enjoyed reading about all the ideas to add herbs and garden veggies, fruits to drinks-most you could leave out the alcohol too. I add mushrooms and zucchini to mine too. hugs
DeleteThat looks good!
ReplyDeletethank you Sandi, it was really good
DeleteKathy - catching up on your posts friend - your gluten free pasta dish looks wonderful. I adore Italian food. Hope you had a good week. Hugs!
ReplyDeletethank you this did turn out really delicious. It's been quite chilly here so farm but warming up in time for the holiday
DeleteI like the idea for summer of doing food Wednesday once a month. Summer gets busy and less time on the computer is always nice. And your dish looks wonderful. We call it American Chop Suey up here in New England. Does it go by the same name in Missouri? We like to make it in the winter and have about 3 meals from a pot...yum. Hope you're having a nice week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHi Erika, I think once a month will be good too for the summer months as we are all busy enjoying the warmer weather.
DeleteHere this dish is just called a goulash or a pasta dish. Right now a big storm is coming through-again suppose to be perfect weather for the holiday weekend though
When I lived in MO and now in KS, we call it goulash. Never heard it called anything else, but I'm a midwest gal.
DeleteYep I am a midwest gal too-hugs
DeleteI would LOVE to see the garden designs. IF and when the bamboo is finally snuffed out, I want to use that area for my herb and veggie garden. Mostly herbs, though.
ReplyDeleteI make vegetarian goulash and it is just as good as any meat. I use eggplant and portabella mushrooms which are as good as any meat. Thanks for sharing the recipe, but also thanks for sharing that new book.
your vegetarian goulash sounds delicious Elizabeth, I really enjoyed this book
Deleteoh and her garden layouts were mostly set up for what you like for making the different drinks
DeleteThere is nothing like a good pasta dish. The book looks amazing. Have a very nice day.
ReplyDeletethank you Nicole
DeleteThe pasta looks great Kathy! I love your Food Wednesdays! If you have it weekly, I'll post weekly that's for sure! If you only have time for once a month, I'll be there! ☺ I think a lot of bloggers drop off during summer months!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for your support I really enjoy reading evreyone's post too-I think once a month during the summer will be good for everyone
DeleteOh and that book looks really interesting!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this book allot, good ideas for non alcohol drinks too
DeleteI like the idea of food Wednesday and I have wanted to participate, but I keep forgetting.
ReplyDeleteOh that pasta looks delicious! I have never liked gluten free pasta (and luckily I don't have to eat it) but your brown rice and quinoa pasta sounds like it could be nice.
The book sounds interesting. Here in the village people put lots of herbs in hot water as an infusion. Kitchen herbs like rosemary and thyme etc. We have mint leaves in the morning. And my friend has lots of chamomile in her fields so I will see some of that in the near future.
Happy Friday
and have a lovely weekend,
Hugs,
Lisca
Hi Lisca, one really needs to experiment and try out different brands of gluten free pastas-some are really bad, but surprising to me the wal mart (big box store) brand is really good-stays firm
DeleteI love herbs in water too I am going to remember to do more of that this summer-if our rain ever stops haha
Happy weekend hugs
