Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking? - Page 23  

It's steakhouse night here. I'm making sirloin tips with onions, peppers, and mushrooms, baked potatoes, and a side salad using lettuce, tomatoes, and cukes from our garden.

Having Braised beef cheeks with ratatouille & found some eryngii mushroom at the market today :).

DH is under the weather, so I made turkey noodle soup. I had frozen some of the turkey left over from last Sunday's dinner. Mmmm-Mmmm-Good, Mmmm-Mmmm-Good...Home-made turkey soup is Mmmm-Mmmm-Good (will the copywrite police get me for infringement?)

Last night had a Sirloin (Strip) steak from Donald Russells of Inverurie. Served it medium rare with Potato Dauphinoise and Asparagus . I added a little water and bubbled up the pan juices to drizzle over. I made the Dauphinoise with milk instead of cream. Not as luxurious but better for my waistline! A simple meal but absolutely delicious. Oh, and the steak was spectacular washed down with a nice Rioja!:)

we had new baby potatoes, steamed pumpkin with nutmeg and ,poached asparagus in lemon water and a little avocado and lemon oil with grilled goat chops and rosemary with black pepper

the chops were as tough as old boots but at least the veges were nice

im eating low fat foods at the moment to help bring my BP down and all day i was hanging out for abowl of french fries ( and im not even a fan of those very often )
but i was good

Comfort food tonight for a rainy chilly day. Salisbury hamburger patties(had them thawed and needed to use them) and scalloped corn.

Scalloped Corn:

1/2 pint frozen corn
1/2 small onion chopped
clove of garlic chopped
grated cheddar
saltine cracker crumbs(5 or 6 crackers)
1 egg
salt & pepper to taste
Beat the egg and mix in everything(reserve half the cheddar for on top), pour into a buttered baking dish, add the reserved cheddar, and bake at 350 for an hour or so.

Well, the 'copyright' police are probably no problem, just watch out for those oddballs that get obsessive about speeling and grahmer.

That's one thing I miss about the upcoming holidays. Since my wife and I fly off to visit family and friends we usually have the big dinner there, then fly home. No leftovers. No carcass for turkey soup, noodle or otherwise. No open face hot turkey sandwiches smothered in gravy with a pile of stuffing alongside to sop up the excess. Sigh.

In truth, if I started defrosting and eating some of the stuff already in the freezer, I might have room to cook a small bird, feast for a couple of days and freeze the rest for later. Hmm....

mjb.

the george foreman grill is a wonderful thing

tonight im having skinless boneless chicken thighs which i have flavoured with lemon worchestershire sauce and poppy seeds, portabello mushys , roma tomatoes all cooked int he GF grill with wedges of lemon and a low fat potato salad i made using left over patatas from last night mmmm yum

Tonight, stuffed peppers with some "tri-mix" (veal, pork, beef), rice, and some of my stock of "sugo for paisons" tomato sauce...bakery fresh rye bread and some horseradish.

i made fish pies - bechamel sauce with the fish i had in - halibut, haddock and undyed smoked haddock. i cook the fish in the milk for the bechamel to add extra flavour to the sauce. also added a few handfuls of frozen peas to the mix.

put the fish and sauce into individual pots and topped with piped creamed potatoes.

i also had a stab at creme brulee last night and they worked! so easy i could not believe it (6 yolks, 4oz sugar whipped together and 500ml of cream heated with a vanilla pod. into ramekins in the fridge overnight and topped with sugar and browned under the grill. i had some cooking apples i wanted to use up so stewed them with some sugar and cinamon and put them in the bottom of the ramekin before adding the custard - delicious).

some pictures of the stuffed peppers last night and potpies tonight.

RPMcMurphy - those potpies look heavenly :rolleyes:

For dinner last night I made a panaché of fish/seafood (seared scallops, large prawns and salmon escalopes - previously marinated with lemon/garlic and pan-fried for seconds only in olive oil with a little butter and spritzed with lime juice to finish). I accompanied this with a kind of risotto made with red and white quinoa, bulgar wheat and vegetables (leek, carrots, courgettes, mushrooms, red pepper - all diced small) - fried in olive oil and then a shot of marsala before adding stock and leaving to bubble until cooked - about 15 minutes.

It was really good...

Yesterday night, I had 10 veal burritos garnished with letuce, italian tomatoes, and a bit of salsa, a real healthy meal

Again tonite, veal burritos, humm, really yummy & very healthy

error, the system posted my mess twice :confused:

porkchops and a new fried chicken recipe...hope it goes well...

We're still eating turkey. :lol: Last evening we had turkey enchiladas with green chile. I had boiled the carcass, but wasn't able to deal with it further at the time, so I shoved the pot and all into the freezer until yesterday. It was cool outside...a good day to run the oven.

I will rarely admit this...... frozen pizza, I had a bad muscle spasm in my back and thats all I have energy to cook :lol:

Hope you get better quick MaryB.

Last night, I emptied whatever was left in the fridge and made a series of small dishes to eat with steamed rice. The wife was happy to see I cleaned the fridge, like doing the dishes is not enough hard work at home...

• glazed carrots
• braised cabbage
• sautéed chorizos
• roast chicken wings
• green beans with french vinaigrette

More turkey tonight. Leftover enchiladas from last evening. The rest of the turkey is in the freezer, and we won't have it again for a while.

Humm, I just ate my dinner, veal blade roast in my slow cooker, with full of vegetables ( 3 hrs @ High, the meat just came off the bones, what @ pure delight ), I ll be doing it again for sure

Chicken stew with cheesy cornmeal dumplings. We ate too much. LOL :lips:

Homemade pizza with a thin cracker style crust topped with onion, black olives, pepperoni, and mozz.

Pot roast for me, with plenty of veges and plenty of meat. I'm cooking just for me, so there will be leftovers :lips:

Slow roast shoulder of pork with a spice rub (ginger,garlic,cumin,paprika,fennel seeds,salt,pepper and lemon juice)
Got a whole shoulder at half price so looks like pork curry on monday, pork stew on tuesday, morrocan pork on wednesday........etc

Yesterday I put a ham in the pressure cooker, then used the bone and broth to make a big pot of butter bean soup. Nothing fancy. Just rustic, handcrafted and yummy. The rest of the ham has been sliced to use for sandwiches and scalloped potatoes w/ham casserole. DH is a happy camper. :lips:

semi-london broil. (top round steak panseared and in the oven then sliced real thin) with truffled mashed potatoes, steamed carrots.

and some homemade (not by me) strawberry rhubarb pie.


oh, and I made some little pumpkin tarts with philo dough and a mixture of marscapone, pumpkin-in-a-can and some sugar and spice and everything nice that we were "experimenting" with that came out pretty good.

Tonight is leftover roast beef on sourdough with thousand island dressing, tomatoes, and swiss cheese that is grilled in the panini press.

Mr. McMurphy and I are having Sausage and Pepper sandwiches tonight. :D





.....and a bottle of wine.

Potato salad and blt sandwishes. :lips:
