Humm, gosh my simple meal was a delight, I know it seems simple etcc, but the taste is awesome

Sometimes the simplest meals are the best meals.
A lot of ingredients in one dish can over complicate things and it may have to much going on. (Sometimes)
You'll have to tell me how you prepared that meal. I like to make simple meals for my family when time is of the essence. :)

Hi HDK77, you will see all the modifications I made, I had it again tonite, even tastier ;)

Simple but tasty

Ok great. I can't wait to get the info so I can try it..:roll:

I just edited my post, enjoy

Dinner Tonight

Since I have frozen fava beans in my fridge, I'm making a recipe I found on Gourmates.com:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 pound Italian sausages, casings removed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 3/4 cups chopped plum tomatoes
1 cup shelled fresh fava beans (from about 1 pound), blanched 3 minutes then peeled, or double-peeled frozen, thawed
3/4 pound fresh pasta sheets, cut as desired, or dried egg fettuccine
2 tablespoons finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese plus additional for passing

Basically combine all that in a pan, cook up some pasta. Mmmmm delish!

A pretty simple dinner but really good.

Took all the skin off a whole chicken, spread a spicy bbq sauce on it, roasted it in the oven, and put raw bacon on it the last 15 minutes. Had some of that chicken on rice with peas on the side. There's leftovers for tomorrow. Yummy for an easy meal. I ate all the bacon tho :D I'm just cooking for 1 (me).

I thought this would turn out good but it turned out better than good, delicious. Something I made up.

2 T soybean oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 t Penzey's "Turkish seasoning" which is made of S&P, cumin, oregano, paprika, sumac, hot pepper, and cilantro
1 can black-eyed peas, 15.5 0z, rinsed
About a cup of diced tomatoes (I used canned)
1 slice bacon, raw, cut into about 6 pieces
1 whole dried pasilla chile, cleaned and rinsed and broken up into 10 pieces or so
Juice of 1 Key lime (a small round one about the size of a golf ball)
1.5 cup cooked basmati rice

Heat the oil in a 2-3 qt sauce pan. Put in the chopped garlic about 2 minutes, stirring. Add the "Turkish seasoning" and let it sit a minute.

Add the blackeyed peas, the diced tomatoes, bacon, Pasilla chile and lime juice. Cook about 15 minutes on medium heat, uncovered. It should turn out to be beans in a thick sauce about like baked beans.

Spread the cooked rice on top, cover and cook another 15 minutes on medium, agitating the pan every 1-2 minutes. (My way of agitating was holding the handle and wiggling it back and forth).

Mix and serve.

I doubt anybody here will follow my recipe but it might give a good idea or 2 of ways to make beans and rice.

For the past 3 days, three 1 kilo rib steaks, fantastic taste, and fresh vegetables

Tonite, a chicken lazagna, a bit of rest on beef

Ouff, its so darn hot in Montreal( I m not critisizing ), just that I will cook my lasagna on my BBQ & add fresh mushrooms

Have a great dinner tonite everyone, enjoy

The DW and DD had open-faced Hot RB sands made from yesterdays supper leftovers and I had Red beans and rice with andoullie sausage that was part of the freezer cleanout today. Nice version there Yeti. Being in the southeast/mid-atlantic that recipe sure wouldn't fly but being as I love Pasilla chilies and key Lime in my southwest stuff it is a nice variation.:smiles:

Tonight was a continuation of the freezer clean-up. Nothing to exciting. Found a nice flank so it was marinated some home-made Teriyaki, a bone in pork chop I cut from a rack and marinated in some NC BBQ sauce, a sirloin steak (both were odd ones left) I cut a couple weeks ago and aged. Unfortunately it was getting too much age (whatever Costco did and I added another 25 days) so it was part of the freezer clean.....

Some au gratin potatoes and Southern style green beans (simmered in pork stock form you guessed it....) were the sides.


Anyhow it was a decent pot luck steak and chop night. BTW the Sirloin, was outstanding and tennnnnnnder. Very nice flavor. The DD even loved it and I was afraid it would have been just a bit too much for her. She did go for seconds on both it and the teriyaki.

Tomorrow is Pasta night. I've got some fresh pasta (tagliatelle) and either marinara or meat sauce I made a while back and threw in the freezer. Both those seem to hold up pretty well especially using the FoodSaver.

Still have a week to go in getting things down to a more manageable state. That is considering we have two of them to clean out, freezers that is. I know there's allot of chicken, charros bean soup and sauces in there so it could get interesting. There's even a ham bone floating somewhere in there.:lips:

Not that anyone cares but the main reason for the clean out is it's now Hurricane season here and best to have little food in them should something like what happened in 2003 happen with'em full. The area was without power for over a week and we're still trying to swing that generator. ;)

Been stocking up on the less perishables so when winter comes it's the opposite. :crazy:

Last night I made Asian inspired fish sticks (to appease the kids, and me, all at the same time). I used rockfish, cut into thin strips, and coated it in a mix of: rice flour, Panko, toasted sesame seeds, garlic salt, pepper, and Chinese mustard powder. I used a sesame-ginger dressing for the dip, and they were awesome! Served with fried rice and BBQ pork.

Tonite, halal beef hot dogs & tzatziki sauce & french fries, nummers :D

Hi Folks,

Being counter seasonal in the southern hemisphere, and enjoying the start of a miiiild winter - Night before last was chicken thighs on a bed of sauteed onion, scattered with lemon and olives, then roasted after being basted with preserved-lemon infused chicken stock.

Last night was a simple vietnamese inspired stirfry of beef and veges - one day I'll learn that a home stirfry in the quantities I need turns into a stew every time, even on the bbq's work burner.

And this afternoon after soccer my daughter and I have turned out a butterscotch apple spice cake. (well, it's still in the oven). And my partner and I are going out to one of Brisbane's best restaurants with one of her old friends - hope it lives up to the reputation.

This afternoon we are going out flying so I made dinner early ...
Leeks, potatoes and Gruyere Fritata. I did not have a fritata pan so I used my wok to do it the hard way...

Humm, that looks delicious elizabethbryce@


Tonite another filet mignon , rather big 380 grams & a papillote of vegetables, dipping bernaise sauce, and one glass of red wine :smiles:

Tonite, plain hamburgers on the BBQ & french fries :D

Have a nice dinner everyone & a nice evening

Sunday supper was spinach and mushoom salad with a tomato, bleu cheese vinaigrette, home made cheese ravioli (again with the freezer) with meat sauce and asiago cheese bread. That was fresh.

The evening snack was beef tacos, refired beans and some fresh cantelope melon. Weather here has been close to the 100's last three days so supper was the biggest meal we've had in a couple days.

Taking a break from the freezer stuff so tomorrow is TK beef kebobs, steamed rice and steamed cauliflower. I'm sure the DD will want her's smothered in Velvetta....the cauliflower that is :look:

Yum, homemade ravioli :lips:

Highs here have been 60-70, a cool wet Spring so far. I've taken advantage of that by having some dandelion greens from my back yard, freshest greens I can get right now, and they are good. I got some great suggestions:lips:

Tonight is bratwurst sausages fried with garlic and onions and a few chunks of courgette, then boiled in half a bottle of good quality beer. Just before serving pop in a handful of chopped parsley.

Serve with tomato relish: onions, garlic, chillie sauce, chopped tomatoes and mashed or boiled potatoes.

Even though it's getting dang near a 100 out there already, a big helping of an Italian Version of Beans'n'Greens........Pasta Fragioli with chopped Escarole. Extra spicy too:lips:

i'm thinking about something I can grill up quickly. Not sure what yet though!

Is making a chicken/greens/lettuce salad from leftover KFC chicken pieces yesterday be considered cooking? That is what I am serving tonight...:roll:if I want DH to be lucky, he might have some pasta alfredo with that too? :rolleyes:

To hot to cook inside tonite, so a papillotte ( mixed fresh vegetables wrapped in aluminum foil ) cooked on the BBQ

said screw it and tried out a Brazillian BBQ place on Main st. in my town...told him to give me a taste of everything he had. Ended up with 18$ worth of some pretty good stuff. :)

2.6 lbs worth to be exact, at 6.99 a lb. :D

have about half left over for the love when she gets home later tonight.

I took some pictures ill post in a bit.

Took waaay longer than I wanted to accomplish a couple out door projects. Man was it hot! 96 in the shade!! These meds I'm on just don't like too much heat so it's the easy way out tonight.....Called in a Chinese Take out. The DW is picking it up on the way home from the DD's GirlScout meeting.:D

I've got a couple of pork tenderloins marinating in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and herbs (dry oregano and basil), salt and pepper. They'll go on the grill when DH calls to say he's on the way home. 30 minutes later they'll be grilled and rested, ready for dinner. The side will be simple asparagus.

The leftover pork will either be used tomorrow in an Asian-style salad or frozen for use later in a salad or maybe a quick version of hot and sour soup.

Yesterday I picked up a bottle of wonderful EVOO from Crete, and tonight I'm making a traditional Greek salad for dinner.
