I really wish you'd stop this, Trixxee! You've been mentioning old favorites of mine lately.
 Chocolate milkshake - and yes, with saltines.

Stuffed shells with meatballs/sausage. And that Arugula salad with the Shallot Vinaigrette dressing we love so much!

Well I just got done prepping 18 stuffed shells. I sort of came up with the recipe on my own. I buy the hard Barilla "Jumbo" Shells - hah! they're only half the size of the frozen ones I used to buy. the hard shells are about 3" long and take a loaded teaspoon to stuff them.
I cook up 20 of those to 7 minutes, and let them cool. Then, I mix 1 15-oz whole milk ricotta (you can use part-skim, I just like the consistency better with whole) with 1 5-oz tub of Bel Gioioso 4-Cheese shredded cheese (Asiago, Fontina, Parmesan, and Provolone), and about 1 tsp of nutmeg with S&P to taste. No egg involved, so taste away! And the 4-Cheese melts beautifully into the sauce I choose. I only cook about 10 of them, so the rest I put on a cookie sheet with wax paper and freeze them to put in a zip lock. Heaven! Barbara

Quote: Saltines on the side? Interesting. But oh gosh was that shake good. I was good and made about a 10 ounce one. But it still amazes me how much ice cream you use for a good shake. Already planning on making more tomorrow. Then Tuesday I'll start to be good.
Barbara that sounds so good.
Tonight is going to be Italian sausages in a red sauce on a rice & corn pasta. I think we'll grill some asparagus to go with. We are starting fall hours! 1 - 7 M,T,W and 12 - 7 on Sunday. Gotta work on the Sunday thing . . . that's FOOTBALL! 
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
We did burgers on the grill with corn on the cob (that I mentioned in the Labor Day thread) and salad. I get to repeat for lunch! I've got the house to myself until later this afternoon. I think the boys are crazy! One is plowing at the farm, and the other is surveying some property we purchased a while back. It's almost ninety with clear skies and no breeze!!!! The one at the new property came while ago to cool off for a bit. His clothes and hair was soaked through! NUTS!
