What's Cooking on a Hot Labor Day Weekend

By
Real Estate Agent

Sacramento has been locked into a heat spell, with temps hovering in the 100+ degree range.  Local outdoor activities this Labor Day Weekend, aren't something found to be especially comfortable.  However, last evening, I hosted a little gathering at my home, which was kept indoors.

For dinner I cooked simple faire. I slow cooked Beef Bourguignon. And, I made Tomato Pie with tomatoes from my garden. There were Green Beans and Cheddar Biscuits too.

The recipe for the Beef Bourguignon is from The Recipe Critic.  Here's the link: Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon Recipe

For the Tomato Pie, I used a recipe from The Pioneer Woman.  Here's the link: Tomato Pie Recipe

* I wish to note that some recipes state you can serve this Tomato Pie cold.  I did that last evening, and was very disappointed.  However, this morning, I heated up a slice of it for breakfast, and it reached a whole new wonderful dimension.  DO NOT SERVE COLD.  Serve hot, or warm!

Here's a couple pictures!

Hi Myrl... looks and sounds yummy! I love boeuf bourguignon... make it quite often myself in a slow cooker and always love to see a new recipe. Happy Labor Day to you!

Hello Myrl,  great disclosure on the tomato pie.  lol   I remember vividly the heat you speak of.  At 100 there is just no comfort outside unless neck deep in water.  Take care during your high temps.  M

Nina Hollander, Broker - Boeuf Bourguignon. . .With each bite, I was thinking of the movie, "Julie and Julia."  

George Souto - They seemed too.  But, I knew the difference.

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho - You're absolutely correct about being neck high in water.  I went swimming early this morning.  Haven't been outside since.  Current temp is 103.

Hello Myrl - it's hot down in Southern California too.  Turn off the oven/stove and chill with some ice cream.   Alternatives to cooking are on the menu.  Stay as cool as possible.

Myrl- some of us are cooks...you are a chef!!!   I've never made beef bourguignon but I may give it a try!!!  We had hot dogs, baked beans, and a fresh pasta salad. Dessert  was blueberry peach cobbler.

I have never had tomato pie or beef bourguignon. Your pictures look so tempting, though! 

Enjoy the rest of the Labor Day weekend. Have a drink or two! 🍹

Labor Day is a great way to honor American workers by not working. Eating is a good second way of celebrating, though.

hay kiddo

hope your doing well in your glory days. I have been thinking about doing the same. Just too many hassles lately and then all the new ones like having to make your website ADA compliant for the visual impaired. This would cost me $10k+

Lets chat sometime, cheers cvc
