Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking? - Page 14  

shakeandbake-

can you link me to that crust? been looking for new recipes.

Yesterday I went to the boyfriend's house. As everyone munched on bread and shrimp as an appetizer/snack, I somehow managed to nibble my way through a rind of brie. A whole round of the stuff, mind you. :blush: So much for trying to be good by staying away from the fried food, 1/2 a pound of fatty cheese is a lot worse.

Dinner was excellent though. We had crab and shrimp stuffed salmon, fresh corn, and a delicious salad. I brought the dessert from home which was a homemade lemon custard pie with a raspberry sauce. His mother proposed to me for her son, I think she liked it.

Today: for dinner, we had gazpacho and bar-b-qued chicken. Delightful. I still had a little over a pint of heavy whipping cream left over from the pie so I made homemade butter while watching No Reservations. After my chickflick, I made some delectably dark hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream.

I believe I have gained nine pounds over the weekend. Nothing but salad for a week for me. :o

over the weekend i made

a blue cheese and lamb mince lasagne man it was really good
it had lots of vege in the meat mix and i topped it with fresh parmesian
we had it over 2 nights. I dont make lasagne very often because it makes so much so it was nice to have it, Bruce just loved it too

Coconut and panko pork, rice, and a black bean, poblano, and mandarin orange stir fry with a sauce I made with jalapeño, ginger, cilantro, and coconut milk.

Here is how DH's dinner looks like...

with cranberry/walnut mix up front, zucchini with cherry tomatoes and baby carrots. I only had the chicken slices and the cranberry mix in mine. I served both with crescent butter rolls.

Last night was bone in chicken breasts, salted, peppered and browned in pan, then onions, garlic, marinated artichoke hearts and butter, sprinkled the whole thing with fresh marjoram threw the pan in the oven to finish. Deglazed with white wine and served over buttered noodles with a mixed greens salad. Not sure what to call the chicken, but it was good.

Can't take credit for this one, my girlfriend whipped it up tonight and I didn't so much as mince garlic. :) came out absolutely amazing. I probably say that about every dish I eat but she knocked it out of the ballpark.

Sesame pork chop with marmalade some potatoes and peapods...supposed to be some red jalapenos but she couldn't find any.

Just the usual for breakfast and lunch but dinner is way more fun! Angel hair pasta with tomato and basil sauce, cheese on top and chicken to go with it. Not much to it but perfect for a friday night!

For Dinner on Sunday

*Puerco Pibil
*rice


*Salted Caramel ice cream for dessert!

didn't feel like hitting up the market, so finished up the rest of the pork (I'm starting to oink)

Looks like a bacon wrapped scallop to me! Way to go Murphy!!!!!! :roll::roll::roll:

Its a roasted lamb shank tonight

slow oven roasted with lemon pepper and oregano and it will have oven roasted veges of butternut squash, garlic, potatoes, tomato and onion with peas on the side and a light gravy

Burger

Tonight I am making a hand carved Entrecote burger with caramelized onions, aioli, and home made yellow pepper tabasco.

I will serve it in home baked buns!

Made breakfast/dessert for dinner. Banana-coconut baked french toast. My fresh bread marinated w/ an egg,cream, banana, coconut milk,vanilla & vanilla sugar puree. Topped w/ fresh strawberries, bananas, & shredded coconut! That was topped w/ coconut infused whipped cream:cool:.mmmmmm!:lips:
Bacon on the side!:p

simple dinner

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.

catch up...

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.

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

I love me some short ribs.

help

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.

Rowely

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)

short ribs

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.

soup and bread

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)

considering my health problems...

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. :)

Had barbecued chicken last nite, so tonites supper wil be simple, chicken noodle soup, smoked meat on whole wheat bread with a kosher pickle, and a small bag of chips :smiles:and one cold beer :p loll

I bought chicken kiev yesterday, humm great:bounce: with 1/4 litre white wine

Now, I will ask for a recipe :)
