Mezz, that's a great idea! It sounds so much better than leftovers or cleaning the fridge. lol That pork cubed steak turned out great! It was so tender, you barely had to run your fork over it to cut. Not a bite was left over. My 7 yr old son ate dinner with my daughter and me. Then when his dad got home a couple of hours later, he sat down begging to eat with him again. That boy eats like a horse some days and others he just picks at everything. lol

The ham sounds good, Ninja.

Tonight we're having a Passover seder-style dinner: gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, brisket, asparagus, potato kugel. Dessert is almond macaroons and other Passover desserts with whole fruit sorbet.

[Ninja_59]

It sure is Mezzaluna

I will translate it this week

You will have a feast also, its been a long time I had matzo, I did love it

Enjoy your meal tonite, a family dinner is the best

Well first time in almost 40 something years, no family for Easter dinner! Very very strange indeed..
Son and daughter both had dinners with their better halfs families.. First time its ever worked out this way..
I think I was a little lost today.. Not running around like crazy trying to get everything ready for the big Easter feast!!

So, my hubby and I had a whatever is left in the fridge for our Easter dinner!
A small baked ham, some scalloped potatoes, and a roasted vegetable mixture..
The roasted vegetables were so good! You really must try this some time..

I Went through my fridge, got the last of the cauliflower & broccolli, a carrot, about a half of an eggplant, a small zuccinni, and finally, some shallots I also had on hand..

chopped them all into chunks, put them into a lightly greased baking dish, chopped up 4 cloves of garlic, sprinkled that over the vegetables.. Went out in my garden and picked some fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage and also a few chives that have just started growing.. I took some basil leaves that I had frozen last summer out, chopped the whole lot up and sprinkled it all on top of the garlic. Added some freshly ground salt and pepper over that..

I then grabbed all the cheeses that I had on hand to grate for this dish..
Ended up with a mixture of mozzarella, crontonese, mantasio, and asiago.. Sprinkled that over all, and then sprinkled about 3 (maybe a bit more) tablespoons olive oil and a splash of truffle oil over the whole kit and kaboodle.. Baked for about 30 mins..
Lovely!!

I do this dish quite often with just eggplant, zuccinni, onion and tomatoes all sliced and layered.. Very good with this mixture too..

Your meal sounds delicious, Joyfull!

Yesterday for our Easter dinner, I baked a ham studded with cloves, slathered in a mustard brown sugar sauce, with pineapples placed on top. We had garlic mashed potatoes, a mixed vegetable casserole, sauted asparagus, and a spinach strawberry salad with raspberry vinaigrette.

Tonight I used some of the ham with some leftover rice pilaf, peas, and carrots from last week along with green onions, mushrooms, and soy sauce to make fried rice. I used the rest of the spinach and strawberries to make another salad to go with it.

I'm making Tortillas filled with ground Beef, Onions, Beans, Rice and Cheese. Everything in a hot Bell- Pepper Sauce.

Not the big thing, but I'm off today and I like easy-to-cook things then, specially if it's just for me... And for some reason I couldn't think about anything else than filled Tortillas while shopping....

Hmmmm- yummy!

Tonight was chicken Parm with roasted garlic and parsley linguini and sauted zucinni slices. Very Yummy!
A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon

Dessert will be left over Pineapple cake.

[allie]

Yummm, that ham recipe sounds great! I'll have to try that the next time we cook a ham!

Tonight I'm going to try some tuna burgers. I saw them on Paula Dean yesterday and will recreate my own version......similar to my salmon croquettes. It's just the kids and me tonight so no need to cook a large meal. We'll have a salad of iceberg lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, and green onions on the side.

I made a really delicious recipe for BBQ ribs, and I'm hoping we can try it tonight. I basically marinade the ribs overnight, and I slow cook them for 4. The BBQ sauce I marinade them in is really delicious. It has tons of delicious spices, but the most important ingredient in my opinion is the apple cider vinegar. Once you put it on the grill, the smell travels on and on for hours. Adds a delicious flavor to the BBQ ribs as well. Almost adds that "apple smoked" flavor as well. I'm stuck on serving suggestions. Hopefully we don't go out to BK tonight, lol.

I made a chicken recipe from a Greek women's society cookbook from Detroit. My mom got it from a Greek friend years ago, and it's one of my favorite recipes in a wonderful book.

I buttered a 13X9" pan, then put in thick slices of red potato which I had salted and peppered. I dotted this with butter, then sprinkled on a bit of fresh lemon juice and dried Italian herb mix (from Penzey's- it's herbes de Provence minus the lavender).

On top of that I put chicken pieces, which I seasoned as above and dotted with butter. I sprinkled this with more lemon juice and added about 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. I put this in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour, then turned on the convection for about 15 minutes.

Yum!
