What are you having for dinner?

October 04, 2015 06:23AM
We started off with crab cakes as the appetizer and really good tarter sauce. For the entree, we made the Spanish version of Arroz Con Pollo with chicken thighs, basmati rice, canned tomatoes, frozen peas, onions, garlic, red bell peppers, Spanish Chorizo, white wine, chicken broth and tons of exotic spices. We ended with Baskin Robbins "Quarterback Crunch".

I made cauliflower puffs again and pulled pork with pineapple. Quinoa salad and pear from my friend's garden.

I made lemon chicken with potatoes. Put it all in the same baking dish with some onion added. Then while it baked for an hour I worked on mystery shopping reports.

I loaded up a pork loin with lots of cloves of garlic shoved down into slits in the meat, then rubbed the whole thing with a combination of salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, rosemary and fennel all pulverized together. Baked at 400 until it was 155 degrees and then let it rest and 'carry over' to 160. Served with baked potatoes and a green salad.

Heading home from a hotel shop and have three reports to finish, so I will defrost some of my homemade pasta sauce with meat and mushrooms and have that over stuffed shells, with garlic bread and some red wine to celebrate when the reports are all done.

We had a feast day celebration at our church and we prepared for buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, the whole day, yesterday, Food was every where. Today, I could not choose the food to eat due to overstocked fridge. I decided to make crackling pork and have some leftover meat balls and veggies. Dessert were slices of honeydew, oranges and grapes.

Thanksgiving here--turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and bread pudding. That was a lot of food for two people!

I'm working my way through the freezer inventory, so tonight will be a grilled steak. Will make twice baked potatoes and saute spinach in olive oil and garlic, I think.

I have a pot full of bean, sausage and spinach stew simmering. We had frost on everything this morning (very close to DC) and that always means SOUP in my kitchen! Will add crusty French bread and red wine. I love one pot meals.

I made enough pulled pork smoked bbq a while back to freeze enough for two big batches of enchiladas. Today I defrosted one of those and also some frozen chipotles in adobo sauce. Will combine with fat free frijoles, cheese, flour tortillas, cheese and enchilada sauce to make layered enchiladas to bake in a deep pie dish. Serve with sides of guacamole, salsa and chips. Dark beer, I think.

I am heading home from two back-to-back hotel shops, and with a blossoming head cold. Looking forward to reheating leftover enchilada pie since I know that this batch is strong enough to clear my sinuses! Chipotles in adabo, ole!

Chilly and rainy here. Dinner is Mom's recipe for potato soup, and a baguette smeared and toasted with basil, olive oil and shredded gruyere. Dessert is an apple and pear tart.

I'm marinating chicken thighs in Italian dressing. Also have a couple of Portabella mushroom caps marinating. Going to put them on the grill tonight. I also have some plain thighs that I will grill with a mustard bbq sauce. Leftovers into the freezer for nights when I get off of work and have an easy meal to pull out and microwave.

I am in Fredericksburg TX on a sister trip. Tonight, dinner at the area's best German restaurant. It may also be the cheapest.

We were having dinner guests so I made an apple pie, along with beer cheese soup, french bread, and salad. The guests didn't show, so now I have apple pie and a clean house and can get into my jammies at 8:30 and read. Win/win.

After a busy day driving around in a chilly deluge, roasted tomato soup and grilled cheese.

I vacuumed, mopped, washed throw rugs and scrubbed today. Dinner tonight is Hamburger Helper--whatever flavor happens to be the first I grab from the pantry. Just too bushed to do anything else. The hamburger is thawing in a pristinely clean microwave and will be cooked in a frying pan with an outside bottom that is brilliantly shiny after way too much time with an SOS pad today. It just wasn't cool enough today to open the house up and have the oven self clean itself, but the stove top is shiny clean. I'm ready for a long nap. Already took the pain meds.
