Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking? - Page 13  

breakfast, lunch, dinner

Last night my DH made stir fried fish with veggies. I had the left overs for breakfast today.

trail mix

Out of boredom, I went to the store got some trail mix supplies. 30 dollars later, I have over 1 and a half gallons of the stuff. I need a new hobby. :lol:

What do you put into your trail mix? Been thinking about mixing up a batch myself ...

I got carried away today, as usual when I'm let into a grocery store with a credit card...
Today included:
* dried cranberries
* dried banana chips
* Almonds
* dry roasted peanuts
* Roasted Cashews
* dried pineapples
* pecans
* M&Ms dark chocalte regular
* M&Ms dark chocolate peanut

It's very good. I went to work with a container of the stuff and all of my regular customers got to try it. I might be down to 8 pounds now. :lol:

had to try out my new pan.....works great!

its not "all-clad" but I got 20% off from linens and things and its better than anything I've ever owned as far as pans!!!




pesto shrimp



veal with a marsala cream sauce (with a tad of white truffle oil and some capers)



and what I like to call "Bill Gates Peanut butter chocolate mud" (because it's too rich!)

for valentines day I made two "cliche" desserts for my valentine to choose from

Lava cake and strawberry shortcake (ok, I didn't make the cake for the strawberry shortcake, but it was one of those "hey i'm craving these why not" purchases!" haha.

This morning for breakfast I made an omelette with some left over gruyer cheese I had in the fridge....and some thick cut bacon.

Thanks! I like the idea of the banana chips, and the dried cranberries are nice as well. The dried pineapple sounds intriguing ...

Humm, RPMcMurphy that was a feast you just had, I envy you :D

What a beautifull table and all the trimmings :bounce:


For me tonite, a girlfriend of mine gave me a home made chicken pot pie, she will not give me the recipe :(, but I respect her decision :cool:

Full of vegetables & chicken, cant wait to taste this one, its a complete meal in itself ;)

Have a great evening everyone :smiles:

Made some Turkey Chili before I went out to a Thai restaurant last night for dinner.....you know how hard it was to leave the house? good thing the dinner (Curry chicken puffs for app. main was wild boar in a chili sauce) was AWESOME.

Today I tried again to perfect a good cornbread and ate the chili....

Got a cut of sirloin on sale at shoprite, cubed, lots of paprika, some of this "spicy" oil that i picked up, some soy and pepper....let it sit while I threw some Jasmine rice into my new pot.

stir fried the beef up with some red and green peppers, chilis, shitake shrooms, garlic, and shallot, with more soy, and a little fish sauce and I threw some basil in at the end.

The pot worked great for rice....first time I cooked rice where it was this great....perfect stickyness and taste.

Ribeye cooked perfect (medium rare, even color inside, perfect crust and sear outside)

A kind of Gratin concoction that I made from some left over potatoes (not sure on the types i used, but whatever decided it wanted to start growing roots in my fridge got the ax. Put some heavy creme in a pot and the sliced taters and cooked for a few minutes, then put it in a baking dish, poured another cup of heavy cream and some butter milk (hey it was left over too) and then grated about a cup and a half to 2 cups of Gruyer cheese over it and baked for good 25 min.

Bolognese




came out great!

Used some hot italian sausage and believe it or not, you couldnt notice it much, but it gave it a great taste! I used a Madeira wine as well...came out really good. I'm really happy with the cast iron as well.

Beautiful meal!
All of your dishes are oh so pretty!
And kind of off topic but the candles in your picture add a very nice touch, very cute and simple.

I'll let my girlfriend know of your compliments. She was quite excited about them at the crate and barrel outlet store. haha.

Made some turkey burgers last night after finally getting my kitchen back together (i had made some upgrades)

made a bacon ranch sauce, mainly because i wanted to cook the bacon in the cast iron before the burgers.

sauteed some veggies quick too. Made about 3 lbs of burgers, (about 8) and froze half cooked the rest.

Greek style spinach pie with some feta and cucumber salad. Quick and easy.

A Quick Paprika Chicken

I think for tonight its going to either be what my DH calls stuff in a bowl which is Wild Rice, Back Eyed Peas, and Georgia Boy Sausage all in a pot. Or I might possibly do fried cube steak, green beans and potatoes, and mac n cheese. I wish I could cook the food I do for catering venues at home sometimes, lol.

I made a loaf of thyme bread last night and basically ate that with olive oil for dinner haha it was sooo good!

mock haggis

I got a wild hair the other day and made a sort of, Haggis inspired dish.

I toasted some steel cut oats, then set them aside.

I browned up a pound of ground sirloin, and some spicy beef sausage, that was cubed.

I added 2 rough chopped white onions, and a stalk of celary to the meat.

Seasoned with salt and pepper, parsley, little paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Added the oats, and cooked down for a about 15 minutes. Then added some chicken stock, little white wine, and some water.

Brought it up to a boil on the stove, then put it in the oven covered at 300'. Let it cook for about 3 hours.


Cubed up some potatoes and pan fried them to a golden brown.

Served them side by side on a plate. It was pretty good!! My Wife liked it after trying it, and even went in for seconds. The kids were not so fond of it, but I made them at least taste it.

Lemon Chicken...

I made some Lemon Chicken the other night which do not have as much batter and I made the sauce using lemonade, a bit of apple cider vinegar and sugar. DH loves it very much...I got the recipe from another list and copied it and made it as a challenge to me -- personally -- to test if I can follow instructions.:lol:

Cheers,

girlfriend and I had a little fun this morning with breakfast. Nothing special I'm sure to you guys, but we were really happy!

Ham and Cheese Mini-Frittata on a biscuit. Some ketchup tobasco sauce

We had a few friends over this afternoon and I prepared a variety of rustic pizzas (7) using the Napoletana pizza dough from The Bread Bakers Apprentice. The recipe is simple and makes a terrific thin crust dough with a crunch, but not a slab of cardboard. Check it out if you're looking for a great crust.

A simple lunch: chicken korma using a can of Patak's korma sauce, on rice . . . surprisingly good!

Breakfast this morning...

is Hot Cross Buns I prepared and rise in the fridge...cooked this morning. I am sorry I cannot upload a photo yet. I thought I can as I already have over 5 posts...:blush:

we had a quick easy dish tonight

been visiting our mums today doing family stuff and giving them easter eggs and truffles that i made


so tonight was ostrich sausages (which were a bit dissapointing) and green bean and potato salad
