Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking?

[crimsonmist308]

tonight was tax night ... not much for celebrating!!
had to pay more than $4000 in taxes ... how did THAT happen??

soooooooo ..... to keep it simple ....

grilled hamburger patty with a slice of mozzerella
melted on top crowned with an egg over easy and
a handful of carmelized mushrooms.

simple, but it was yummy!

tomorrow night it will be a red bean soup with rendered
bacon chunks, onions, and salsa.

Yesterday:
Breakfast: yogurt and granola with berries while going to school.
Snack: Homemade pico de gallo for a class party. I used half a jalapeño, 6 tomatoes, a clove of garlic, half an onion, and as much cilantro as I possibly could. A squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dinner: Leftover spaghetti and meat sauce. I didn't have any italian sausage so I used ground beef. Wasn't near as good but it worked. What spices do you recommend when this happens?

Today:
Breakfast: School didn't start until 10:15 so I went to Central Market (a Whole Foods type of store) with a friend. I got a salad from the salad bar and a natural grapefruit soda. She got a miniature cheesecake for breakfast.

Nothing fancy tonight. Just made some chicken salad with some crispy bacon, toasted almonds, and grapes.

Tomorrow evening I think i'm gonna get some scallops and pair them with some swiss chard, crispy prosciutto, and a pomegranete sauce.

Interesting thread Suzanne.

For today's breakfast I am going to prepare noodles adding grated onions, carrot, beans, mushrooms, soa-sauce & chilly-sauce and some salt.

Simple tossed salad, short ribs on the grill, twice baked 'loaded' potatoes, steamed green beans (since my daughter steamed and ate the asparagus for her breakfast!), and dutch apple pie.

Boy was that good...and my nephews loved it too. I fried boneless chicken thighs with a side of fried zuchini, corn, and mashed potatoes. Not a fan of frying zuchini but the market didn't have fresh okra...booo.

how long do you grill the short ribs? any marinades/rubs?

I love me some short ribs.

So recently, I put some lamb on the grill. The end result was, well, I wasn't too happy. Anyway, anybody know any good lamb marinades or rubs? thanks.

how did you cook/prepare it and what didn't you like about it? (probably best to ask in the main forum in a separate thread too)

[michmom]

I roast the ribs for about an 1 1/2 hours or so to cook off most of the fat that causes grill flare-ups. Then put them on to a medium grill with a sauce of mustard, Worcestershire, Bottled barbque sauce, and beer. Cook about 20 minutes per side, again, give or take depending on the size and thickness of the slabs (and depending on how much they actually cooked while the fat was being rendered).

Anyway, for tonight we're having a creamy one-pot pasta dish, salad, and strawberries.

tonight was a simple meal of bread and soup.

the soup is a kidney bean soup
(slice and render 1/2 lbs. of sliced bacon in a pot
chop and sweat a large onion, add garlic and
fry until fragrant, add one can [28 oz. can] of enchilada
sauce, 2 lbs. of raw kidney beans, one can of low sodium
chicken broth. and enough water to cover by two inches.
heat till boiling, then remove from heat source for one hour.
return to stove and return to boil. then lower heat and
simmer for two hours. after two hours, add contents to
blender in stages and puree till smooth. season to taste.
ooooooooo ... yummy!!

had a couple of bowls of the soup with thick slices of
grace bakery's pugliese bread and marin cowgirl creamery
butter. double yum!!

last night I had to put a patio set together instead of grilling, so girlfriend disobeyed orders for fast food and made some sort of asian inspired chicken wrap thing that was **** good (considering I didn't eat a morsel all day but a stale mini-powdered donut)

I went to the hospital for chest pains. Apparently I have an extreme case of GERD and too much stomach acid so it is in my chest as well. The doctors told me to eat bland foods, which will kill a part of me. *sigh*

I have been eating a lot of watermelon and brown rice. Last night I made french toast. I have made rice and egg, and salad with no dressing. Nothing spicy, fattening, or acidic.

But I got sick of that so for lunch I have concocted baked tilapia with garlic and onion, on top of broccoli infused rice and broccoli florets. I can't wait! Although there is no seasoning other than sea salt, garlic, and onion, I am being optimistic.
