What's for dinner

4 years ago

I have spaghetti sauce simmering on the stove. I have been in the mood for it! Salad waiting and garlic rolls to bake. I'm starving, but the Mr. ate a late lunch and it's early for us to eat anyway.

    I am getting over a stomach bug-- have been on just fluids for the last few days and I am still limited to soft foods. I am hungry and ready for food, i think .. so It will likely be scrambled eggs with shallots and herbs. No toast or meat.

    Mmmm...the sauce sounds good. We had braised pork chops (haven't had them in years), white rice with black beans and fried sweet plantains.

    I just finished broccoli noodle casserole which I'd made out of the Moosewood cookbook...it was very tasty. Definitely I'd make again.

    A small portion of leftover bouef bourguignon and maybe some roasted asparagus. Trying to get rid of the 5 lbs I bought home as a souvenir from my cruise.

    I've had a green chile stew in a Dutch oven simmering on a back burner all afternoon. It has cubes of boneless pork ribs browned with onions, celery, garlic. Diced Yukon Gold potatoes, corn, a can of Rotel, several cans of chopped green chiles, beer, chicken stock, oregano and cumin. I have cornbread to go with it. We'll have it for a few nights. It's rainy and chilly here. Spring hasn't sprung yet!

    Hubby brought some ribs and brisket from the barbeque place he passes….it was not as good as it usually is, but still pretty good. I was going to grill some filets, but I will do them tomorrow.

    Kids are home on spring break w/ friends so cooking for a hungry bunch. We had Shabu Shabu with Goma Dare and dumplings on the side. Last night we went out for dinner. Night before I made Greek grilled chicken over arugula and veggies, with grilled pita and homemade Tzatziki.

    Sauteed Spinach with Shallots

    No recipe, but I chop up a few shallots, sautee in some oil or butter until soft. Throw in a few handfuls of spinach and salt lightly. Toss with tongs until the spinach is nicely wilted and soft. Eat immediately.

    Late to the party, but last night we had sous vide ahi tuna seared with Colorado Spice Company ahi tuna rub, salad, and asparagus rice. I got a sous vide for Christmas and love playing with it. Tuna was excellent.

    @nicole you and I needed some veggies! We had a day date and ate an early dinner. The Mr. had steak, slaw and green beans while I had a BLT on home made bread. And a couple of bites of his coconut pie ; )

  • 4 years ago

    Seagrass - I'd love to have your recipe! Tonight, sockeye salmon with a great marinade that includes rye whiskey - my favourite way to make salmon. Making a mango salsa to go with it. Will do a couple of small baked potatoes in the airfryer and steam some broccoli.

    @Tina Marie...Fresh spinach all the week before. 🔪 Being from Texas.....I smothered my chicken in BBQ sauce! Pineapple seltzer water....that's my sweet tea substitute! We're not known for healthy eating. 🍒 🍔

    Reviving this thread to thank Pricklypearcactus for the Creamy White Bean Soup she shared above. I made it for lunch today. Easy, delicious, and perfect for a chilly, rainy spring day. Don't skip the gremolata--I made extra to serve with salmon later this week.

    Baked cod, mango salsa and I have no idea what else. Off to see what veggies and salad I have on hand, and cut up mangoes and jalapeños.


    Judi, had Amatriciana with spaghetti on Sunday, no bucatini :-( Love that sauce.

    Tonight is Goulash, green beans and bread and butter. One of DS fav! My mom taught him how to make goulash, but I’m making all his favorites quite a bit now, so he’ll miss me when he moves out in the fall ;)

    Zalco, I love mango salsa with fish. The other day I served it as a side with bbq'd chicken. This time of year I always have honey mangos in the house.

    @nekotish - I just now saw your request - here's the recipe for Green Chile Pork Stew:

    2 lbs boneless pork (I use boneless country ribs - not too lean) cut into 1 1/2" cubes

    1 medium onion, chopped

    2 stalks of celery, chopped

    2 cloves fresh garlic, chopped

    32 oz. carton chicken broth (I sub 2 cups of beer for half of it)

    2 cans chopped green chiles

    1 can Rotel tomatoes

    2 11 oz. cans of corn niblets

    2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (unpeeled), cut into cubes

    2 tsps. cumin

    1 tsp. oregano

    salt & pepper

    Season pork with salt & pepper, use about a Tbsp. of vegetable oil and brown pork in a Dutch oven in batches - set aside. Add diced onion and celery, cook until softened, add chopped garlic about halfway through. Turn up heat, deglaze pot with the beer - add pork and accumulated juices stirring to loosen all of the brown bits from the bottom. Add remaining ingredients - bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for several hours until pork is tender, stirring occasionally.

    Good with cornbread, Serves 6 - 8.

    Just made some Shrimp & Grits --- a stretch for me but it was simple, quick, easy and turned out rather well. I'm notorious for not following directions or adding my own spin but even though I improvised a little DH said it was "good".

    Here's the recipe I "followed": Shrimp & Grits

    Homemade pizza and salad on the menu for tonight

    Our favorite Pot Roast in the Instant Pot:

    https://damndelicious.net/2018/04/12/instant-pot-pot-roast/ I put the potatoes and onions in whole so they don't disintegrate while cooking.

    Thanks Seagrass - that is something I know we will love! Tonight's dinner is a 2" thick slab of prime rib that we cut off the too lare roast we got for our daughter's birthday in January. Cooking it sous vide at the moment, will finish it with a hard sear on the bbq. Caesar salad and asparagus to go with.

    It's looking a lot like Uber Eats at my house tonight. It was supposed to be colcannon.

  • 4 years ago

    Grilled Ribeye for me, and Grilled Tri-tip for DH and DS and Caesar salad. Had to just throw something together quick tonight.

  • 4 years ago

    We were away for a few days and hadn't been to the grocery store yet. One salmon portion in the freezer, not enough for two. So, we thawed and baked it, hard boiled a couple of eggs, chopped some nuts and apricots, and served it all on a bed of lettuce with some feta. Perfect!

    On the drive home Sunday, we kept passing by Taco Bell's along the interstate. So tonight we thawef some ground beef, chopped some veggies, and made tacos. I love having staples in the house.

    Looking forward to a planned meal this weekend lol.
