Last night's dinner was homemade pizza. The kids made plain old pepperoni pizza. My dinner partner and I made Hawaiian pizza with a twist. Store-bought pizza dough (I cheated), barbecue sauce, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, mango chicken sausage slices, and pineapple chunks. It was delicious, but we thought that carmelized onions would have made an excellent addition. |

Mezz, yes the croquettes are fried, I don't really call it deep frying because there isn't enough oil to float them. But they are fried. I love a good pot roast. |

Since the weather here has turned more seasonable (it finally dipped below 80 since it has been in the 90's the last few weeks) the menu is turning more to those cooler weather comfort foods. Tonight is Chicken and Biscuits (basically it's just Chicken ala King served over biscuit halves) for the DW and DD and I like mine served over rice as it traditionally should be  . Tomorrow we have planned Pot Roast (thanks for the post Mezz) and Sunday will probably be home-made Pizza. Sausage, sauce and dough. Just not the cheese.  |

There was a sale on t-bones, so we had them hot off the grill. DH had broccoli and I had cauliflower with curry-yogurt sauce.
Good thing my cholesterol test came back with good numbers today!

With unanticipated dinner company and a busy afternoon, I decided to use my crockpot. Bone-in loin chops, sliced apple, cider, and a few spices. Cooked some broccoli as a side and picked up a loaf of sourdough bread. A simple, tasty dinner! |

A small pork roast. Costco sells these "Sirloin tip pork roasts". I've never seen them anywhere else, but I like them. They're compact, lean and pretty cheap. I find them to be very flexible for making a quick tasty roast, a chop or strip, even rolled. Cook them to no more than 145 so they stay juicy.
Tonight, I tied it to a more even shape and marinated it:
I picked some rosemary, and chopped it up fine. Then I put it in a mortar and pestle with some lemon zest, garlic cloves, a few peppercorns and kosher salt. Pounded to a paste, added a little olive oil and juice of half a lemon. A touch of dijon mustard to help it emulsify. Marinate a while and it's into the oven. I've a little bit of risotto to finish up and a salad to round it out.

Tonight I got a chicken. Squeezed a fresh lemon over it & let it sit for an hour. Wrapped in bacon and cooked breast side down. ( in a roasting pan on a v rack lined w/ foil w/ sm. hole in foil to drain juices 4 gravy) Last 15 min. breast side up to brown & crisp! Roasted potatoes w/ pieces of bacon & onion. Corn as the veggie. My better half thought it was perfect! That made it worth it!!!! Not fancy but good eats!

We had cold temps and pouring rain yesterday. Top it off with all 4 kids running around, seemed like a good day to make a slow dinner. Decided on soup. We made an Asian chicken noodle soup that had scallions, shittake mushrooms, and carrots. We added some soy sauce and sesame oil to the broth. It was quite tasty. Then to make it an ecclectic meal we made foccacia bread and herb dipping oil. Though an odd combination, it was a wonderful meal. |

Hi Everyone,
Lately, I've been trying to perfect my mom's meatloaf recipe. I'm trying to replicate a dish my Mom used to make for me - a wonderful meatloaf, 100% beef with a tasty brown gravy. Of course, she served it over mashed potatoes.
I'm definitely getting there on the meatloaf, but the gravy is still stumping me.
I'll continue to try...! |
