For lunch I stopped in one of the many taquerias in my area and just got one taco, spicy chicken with onions, cliantro, and lime. I will never wait that long to have one of those again.

Dinner, went out to thai food and had a spat with my mother. I lost my appetite, but the curry was excellent.

Well I didn't cook these things, but that's what I ate today. Tomorrow I might make cheese crisps.

We had an Asian chicken salad made with romaine, scallions, red peppers, shaved carrots, chow mein noodles, chicken, and slivered almonds. It was topped with a ginger sesame vinagrette.

The simple meal has been practiced the last few evenings. Sunday was Chicken and dumplings with a side of cauliflower, last night was chicken and rice casserole (left over pulled chicken and stock from the night before and tonight we had Homemade Reubens and chips. Tomorrow night is stuffed cabbage rolls. Have relatives in town visiting (Uncle and Aunt are helping my cousin's wife and kids since he's currently in Iraq) so there will be a special meal of some sort one night. Still planning that one.

Tonight's dinner was Mexican fare. We grilled chicken and made fajitas with lettuce, corn, salsa, cheese, and sour cream for topping. As a side we had Spanish rice. Worked for all 4 of us!

Dinner Tonight

Tonight for dinner we're having Chicken Croquettes. We had a lovely roasted Chicken for dinner on Sunday so with the leftover chicken from that I make croquettes. Grind the chicken on coarse blade of my kitchenaid, add a simple white sauce, a little onion, sage, fresh parsley, chicken broth and lemon juice. Form into cones and refrigerate. Then roll in flour, egg and bread crumbs. I make my own artisian bread so the ends get saved for croutons or bread crumbs, I think that's what takes this dish over the top. I have a homemade cream of chicken soup that I cook the potatoes in and in turn they really thicken up the soup so that's it's more like a sauce. Large green salad out of our garden, with peppers of every color and green onions. Probably some steamed broccoli and a nice cold beer.

The croquettes sound delicious! Are they deep-fried?

We're having pot roast tonight. It's in the oven braising and should be ready by the time I come home from tutoring my student. I browned about 5 pounds of beef chuck and added cubed potatoes, onions, celery, carrots, some leek I had leftover from earlier in the week, and some fresh thyme. I added some red wine and beef broth, fired it up to a low boil and popped it in the oven.

Now where did I hide those bay leaves???? :confused:

Mezz,

That pot roast sounds outstanding!!!!!! Too bad "Wiscaaahhnson" is so far away.:rolleyes::roll:;):D

It's DW and DD's GirlScout night tonight. And since never got to the store today.... it's a scavenge through things to scrape something together. Probably will end up with a plate of cheese and some crackers we bought at the Williamsburg Cheese shop last weekend.:blush: Maybe a nice glass of vino (or three) from there as well.

IS is just me.....

I made some really delicious chicken, poblano and goat cheese enchiladas tonight.. Probably my best enchiladas yet.. my son " wasnt in the mood for Mexican food" and my husband announced before he even knew what dinner was that he had a big late lunch and probably wouldnt be hungry.. Is it just me or does that sort of thing really tick you off too? LOL I invited my neighbor over ( someone HAD to try them!) and he loved them.. went back for THIRDS! I also served chipoltle mashed potatoes and pinto beans.

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:smiles:. 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. :rolleyes:

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! :roll:

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.

more than taste fine

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!

Canadian-that sounds excellent. yum chicken....

tonight I worked late and was too tired to cook so I got szechwan shrimp from work and a wonton soup. Then I took a couple spoonfuls of haagen Daz ice cream from my freezer. :lips:

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...!
