Chicken chili can be made with cannelloni beans (white kidneys) or great northern beans. It would not be white chili if you used traditional kidneys. We have a slight preference for the flavor of the northerns.

Homemade fish and chips is what we are doing after smelling tomorrows beef-veggie soup cook all day.

Mom used to make homemade chips. Dad could make those too! Well before any special appliances for the job, we had a big heavy pot for doing the frying, a bowl of fat in the fridge she recycled between roast potatoes and fries and always a bag of potatoes under the sink. She didn't get into deep frying fish so we had left over roast beef or fried eggs.

Working on using up what is in the freezer today. A piece of steak and salads for dinner.

Am really running out of suggestions unless, myself or DW, dive into the cookbooks. I've suggested Sheppard's pie for din, and the only thing that's held us up having that any time in the recent past, has been that there is always "one man out" (of the 4 of us) that doesn't like something we suggest/make. Youngest junior doesn't like mashed potatoes (the only person on this earth that I know of that doesn't like mashed potatoes), so we've come up with a solution by making a big batch of Sheppard's pie, and then put approx 2-servings into smallish rectangle tins and freeze for a quick lunch for two later on. :)

Did the Sheppard's pie meal tonight - was really good. Made a big batch so 4 lunch-sized portions for two, went in the big freezer for another time. It was a recipe from Good Life - I've still got a month or so on freeze from last March. :lol:

Well the chips were really store bought steak fries though I have made both eh tick and thin versions from a raw potato before.

The fish was shallow fried batter dipped with homemade batter and I must be doing something right because DW finally eats fish!
