One of the things we really love is the bits of onion in the patties and the rich mushrooms gravy:
I had a few chives that my parents gave us awhile back so I snipped them into the mashed potatoes:
We really love the creamed spinach with just a touch of cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper:
Oh my gosh, your mashed potato always looks so delicious! How do you do that? I want to eat it! lol And the mushrooms look delicious too. Phill doesn't like mushrooms so I don't usually make them, and I find myself missing them a lot. Mmm. :)
ReplyDeleteKatie - Thanks! I just mash them with some butter, a little milk, salt and pepper. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy ... though I'm not usually a gravy eater. Now isn't that weird -- I grew up eating it, but now I just don't care for it much... Seems like wasted calories or something...
ReplyDeleteJoJo - Not a gravy eater!? Are you crazy!? :P I am a serious gravy/sauce lover...the more the better!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a gravy eater either, but I love sauces. if that makes any sense.
ReplyDeleteI have to try this - I forgot that steve loves salisbury steak, always did, and in my two years cooking I haven't made it for him yet. yay! new ideas! :)
it's going to have to wait though... I actually have no oven or stove to cook with for two weeks. long story. thank god for the crock pot!
That's just how I like a mushroom sauce - with nice chunky discernible slices/pieces of mushroom in it. But then I love mushrooms and will eat whole ones raw just on their own. :) That meal looks superb!
ReplyDeletealosha - If you like sauce but not gravy what constitutes gravy or sauce? If you were going to try a recipe for salisbury steak this would be a great one! But no stove for two weeks? What happened?
ReplyDeletetfp - Mushrooms are so fantastic, aren't they? I'll be forever in your debt for that creamy garlic mushroom recipe...mmmm....
hehe I knew I didn't put that very well - what I mean is, I like sauces like... the spicy or sweet sauces that come with my asian dishes, cream or tomato sauces for pastas, hollandaise sauce on my eggs, and many more I know I can't think of right now.
ReplyDeletebut gravy to me means brown or white gravy that goes with meat and potatoes. probably cause I spent far too many years in texas. ;)
Alosha, maybe you just never had good gravy. I know that there are some that would go through the trouble of spending hours in the kitchen only to finish off the dish with a jar of Heinz gravy. What a shame!
ReplyDeletealosha - I agree that gravy is something brown or white that goes with meat. If made properly using the drippings from the pan, a little flour and some stock it can be fantastic! :)
ReplyDeletelonghair - I'll never understand jarred gravy.
I admit if my stepfather-in-law in dallas cooks, I will eat his white gravy. that's good southern stuff right there! :)
