Greetings, HWYD Friends!
As promised in our introductory post, we plan on sharing with you our many HWYD Big Dish recipes. As a refresher each week, we'll remind you of how our HWYD Big Dish system works:
Every week, we have an HWYD Big Dish. That dish is THE dish we build around for the week. We use it one of three ways:
- We actually just make a large portion of a HWYD Big Dish that we rework throughout the week, adding gourmet twists that make it practically unrecognizable from one meal to the next, or...
- We make a HWYD Big Dish that morphs into different phases throughout the week. A chicken for a meal which becomes a broth which makes a tomato soup which creates a sauce, or...
- We make HWYD Big Dish components that come together in different ways throughout the week leading to the main attraction.
HWYD Big Dish System Goals:
- There is only 1 main day of preparation for the week with no more than 10 steps.
- The grocery list will be at or under $200 for all meals for all members of the household for the week.
- The meals are better tasting and better for you than going out to eat.
- So, you save time, money, calories and eat better!

Prep Day in Ten Steps:
Step 1 - Peel and boil all of the potatoes
Reserve 8 cups of the potato water. Slice 6 lbs of the potatoes. Set aside. Chop the other pound. Place the chopped pound of potatoes in the water, let cool, and store in the refrigerator. This takes a while. Move on to steps 2 and 3 while you are waiting on the long boil and cooling.
Step 2 - Brown the meat
Brown all of the hamburger meat and fry three packs of the bacon. Drain it all. Put the bacon aside and store all but seven pieces in the refrigerator when cool. You'll need the seven pieces for Step 4. Return the hamburger meat to stove and add enough tomato sauce to give the consistency of chili - probably the whole box. Add garlic salt, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Divide into sixths. Store in the refrigerator when cool.
Step 3 - Whip up your homemade almond cream
Pour the heavy cream into a bowl. Beat until it starts to actually look like whip cream - think cool whip. Don't keep going to long when you get to that stage - you may end up with something more like butter. When the cream is whipped, add a cup of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of almond extract. Adjust either quantity to suit your taste. Store in the refrigerator. Step 4 - Combine the layers
First, in the largest bowl you have, combine 2/3 cup oil, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 1/3 teaspoon salt. Mix well. In the mean time, dice one white onion, 2/3 cup fresh parsley, and 7 bacon slices in a food processor or by hand. Add the diced mixture and the 6 lbs of potatoes to the dressing and toss well. Place in two casserole dishes, cover, and store in the refrigerator.
Step 5 - Bake your casserole
Chop up all of squash to about 4 cups and a white onion. Cook your squash and drain. Combine cooked squash, onion, 2 cans cream of mushroom soup. Melt 1/2 cup of butter, beat two eggs, and combine with squash mixture. Place in one or two casserole dishes. Crush enough Ritz crackers to equal one cup. Spread over top. Bake at 250 degrees until golden and bubbly - about 30 minutes. When done, remove let cool, and store in the refrigerator.
Step 6 - Dress the shrimp
Remove the tails from your cocktail shrimp and store in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
Step 7 - Time for the chocolate barbecue sauce
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pan. Stir in the following: 1/2 tablespoon onion powder, 1/3 teaspoon garlic salt, 1 oz semisweet chocolate morsels, 1 1/2 cups ketchup, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup brewed coffee, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons dry mustard, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. When thickens, store immediately in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Reheat to use.
Step 8 - Marinate your mandarins
Open, rinse, and drain all of your cans of mandarin oranges. Chop 2/3 cup green onion. In a bowl, combine 1 cup vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons cider vinegar, 20 drops Tabasco sauce, 8 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss oranges and green onion in dressing. Chill and store in the refrigerator.
Step 9 - Boil and blanche
Cook all of the macaroni noodles according to the packages. Drain and store in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, select two bunches of asparagus. Trim and chop into small pieces - 1/3 inch or less. Blanch in boiled water. Remove before they get soggy - just a minute or two - as soon as it turns bright green. Return to icy cold water and store in the refrigerator.
Step 10 - Chop your fruit
Chop your pineapple, mango, and kiwi into bite-size slices. Slice the watermelon into the traditional wedges. Store all fruit separately in the refrigerator.
Great job!
You are ready for the week!
