Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking? - Page 8  

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

Tonite, its ham with beer & maple syrup in my crockpot, awesome recipe :D

Cheers :beer:

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.

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 :bounce: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!:cool:

Good evening :)

Sounds great Meat-loaf, enjoy your dinner :)


I ordered out, baby back ibs & chicken, it was great, nothing to wash loll

Have a nice evening :)

Cheers :beer:

Tonight is a meatloaf, baked potatoes, corn, and broccoli at my house!

Allo your meals are appealing :)

I'm having the same as 2 days ago:

I bought a small ham, its in the crockpot since the morning, very good, not fancy, but too my liking :)

4 to 5 lbs ham with the bone( picnic style )
CODE
Ham Varieties and Terminology - Home Cooking

You may also use boneless ham, toupie center ( that is what I am using tonite )

1 bottle of regular beer, not a strong beer, use a regular mild beer.

1/2 cup of maple syrup

2 onions cut in slices

1 teaspoon of dried mustard

Place the onions in the crockpot first

Then include your ham

Then pour the botle of beer, maple syrup and dried mustard

Cover it & let it cook 10 hours on low (I also tried 5 hours on high )

Serve thick slices ( you may pour some pineapple sauce if you want )with mashed patatoes & a green vegetable( I love brocoli ).

Cheers

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.

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.
Holy cow that sounds good, lol.

Hi

I will order out tonite, theres a great vietnamese restaurant that offers an excellent chicken breast with all the trimmings for less that 8 dollars, its double the price everywhere else, I know the owner now, hes always there to assume me a quality meal :)


Cheers :beer:

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!

I've been home alone all week so tonight was a simple meal of what I could find in the fridge...
Chinese-sesame salad
steamed artichokes w/olive oil and sea salt
3/4 bottle of Stonehaven Riesling

Good stuff.

Suzanne, I wish I could enjoy that meal with you and your DH!

I'm making chicken tonight as well: Skinless, boneless breasts pounded and stuffed with the following mixture: spinach sauteed with garlic and shallot, then mixed with some artichoke bruschetta spread I had in the fridge, toasted and chopped almonds, crumbled feta and some herbs.

I brushed the pan and the tops of the breasts with olive oil, covered them, and popped them in the oven at 350. After 20 minutes or so I'll take the foil off and let them brown a bit on top.

I've also got some fresh zucchini (we're on the same wavelength) which I'll probably sautee somehow. The only starch I have is some kasha varnishkes, which should be tasty with this. To paraphrase Emeril, the kasha would be good with a car hood. :rolleyes:

Late lunch: Cardomom flavored brown basmatti rice cooked in a home made vegetable stock, veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) in a curry sauce over the rice, black tea.

Wow! There's a blast from the past. haven't had that in decades ....

Shel

I haven't decided what tonight's meal will be. Most likely something simple because it's just the kids and me. They are happy with a big salad or sandwich. lol

Last night, I made pork chops in the crock pot with a soy sauce, garlic, chicken broth, honey sauce. I found the recipe online and it turned out great! Along with that, I cooked some frozen potato/cheddar pierogies, corn, and broccoli. I really need to start searching for a homemade pierogy recipe. lol

I think the blueberry crepes sound awesome!!

Yesterday, we smoked a chicken, pork butt, and half a pork shoulder. Since we had friends and family over, I made a huge batch of cole slaw, potato salad, and a cake. Tonight, the kids and I are going to eat leftovers or the pork.

Tomorrow will be personal Mexican pizzas using some more of the leftover pork.

Wednesday, I am going to heat the chicken, roast some asparagus, and have brown rice along with some mixed vegetables.

I even put one piece of the shoulder (about a 1/4) in the freezer but we still have plenty to eat. lol

Tonight it's the stuffed green pepper soup that was made yesterday, with an english muffin.
I have a pork tenderloin in the oven, simply seasoned with salt, pepper, and onion powder. That'll be taken to my Dad's tomorrow (he doesn't cook much as he's 86!).
Bon appetit!

Hi

Tonite, just a plain spaghetti, I made this sauce 2 years ago with an autoclave, really good, with garlic bread of course :D

Too bad, I forgot to buy wine :(, a glass would of been nice :p

I bought a citrus juicer today and couldn't wait to use it. Tonight will be marinated, grilled chicken breasts (lime, chili powder, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper), fresh broccoli and some kasha varnishkes leftover from my demo last night. Shel, you can come on over if you want!

My plans have changed a little. Les is coming home at some point this evening and I have to pick him up. Not sure if it will be when I have to cook or not. lol We're having the smoked chicken, a pasta salad that I'll make this afternoon, and asparagus sauted in olive oil with a little lemon juice and pepper sprinkled on at the end.

What kind of juicer did you get? Over the years I've owned several and finally settled on the big Orange-X. Boy, that puppy's a pleasure to use, and it satisfies my desire to use older-style, smple equipment whenever and wherever posssible.

Yes, I'll be right over - sheeshe! This forum is bringing back all sorts of food memories from my childhood.

Shel

I've had this quote in my first recipe index card pad on the inside flap. Fear of Failure;one of those things that fulfills itself with depressing regularity. Your dinner sounds yummy.Good luck on retirement...cookie

Hi

Tonite, no cooking, I am trying to figure out what I am ordering, greek souvlakis or great kosher smoked meat or even asian delicacies



I'll finf out something for sure :D
