[quote] What's for dinner?

Unintended microplastics, probably.

Where’s the beef?

It's Friday and payday. Pizza, and it was delicious.

OP is an 85 year old woman.

Sautéed salmon filet with garlic butter (First time I made iy, simple and delicious) and beet salad. I carbed out this long, cold winter, have to get back inshape.

Canned peaches with cottage cheese. Cup of bean soup.

I’m a light eater and slim.

Curried angel hair pasta with coriander chutney.

Boogers, cuticles, Mommy's lipstick and my own gray spooge.

I’m having a turkey sandwich on Catcher In The Rye bread with a side of George Bernard slaw.

If my boyfriend cooks it’ll be feces.

Running early, just finished a Mystic Pizza. IMHO the best of the frozen pizzas.

For Whom The Stuffed Bell Pepper Tolls.

Mixed grill with a kale salad.

Penang curry chicken. Sort of. I could not find makrut (kaffir) lime leaves . Using lime zest instead.

Ass

Roasted sweet potatoes, yellow potatoes , beets, brussel sprouts and tofu. Drizzled with lemon hummus sauce and some sliced avocado.

Yuk

Grilled out pork tenderloin, steamed rice, deep fried bread crumb-coated cauliflower, sliced cucumbers in a creamy herb sauce and WINE.

Amazon frozen dinner: Chicken tikka masala. I buy it regularly - it's really good.

Grilled salmon with aioli left over from last nights fried shrimp, and a Mediterranean pasta salad (mini-penne, feta, oil cured olives, tomatoes, red and yellow pepper, toasted pistachios, cucumber) that has a killer dressing. And we're splitting a pita. Trying to cut back on the carbs.

A pre-packaged salad from Safeway to which I added half an avocado, a hard boiled egg, and roasted beets. Made my own dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, basil, and pepper. Low sodium goodness and no added sugar. Just moved into a hotel room with a mini kitchen for a week until escrow closes on a house we bought for retirement. Amazing things can be made with a small toaster oven and a saucepan. Going to make an easy, sugar-free blueberry crisp for dessert and then for breakfast tomorrow.

I made a Kimchee omelette and it was fabulous....a glass of cabernet - so good

Crab salad

Last night, I made the NYT recipe (below) of spaghetti with tuna, anchovies, garlic, scallions and capers. Threw in asparagus and peas. Delicious and easy.

Arroz con pollo. Tweaked the recipe over the years until it's almost nothing like the original besides having chicken and rice. It's in the oven and smells absolutely delicious!

Let's just say it's veal-like and very juicy.

R25 = Victoria Ratliff

Home made shrimp fried rice.

sweet potatoes, mushrooms, red deer, chestnuts. Yes it was an autumnal menu but I saw the deer and chestnuts on sale so figured why not and I hadn't had game since December. It was delicious.

I take it, R76, is not from the US

Spinach salad with avocado, hard-boiled egg, bacon, blue cheese, red peppers, and mandarin orange segments; coconut shrimp, chocolate cheesecake.

R77 Switzerland but here's French cook preparing it. I had the deer prepared by the butcher then I did the rest. Hunting season ends any week now. I subbed sweet potatoes for the noodles.

Pizza!

This, along with some homemade tomato soup.

Leftover polenta tonight with Italian sausage, grilled red bell pepper, sauteed mushoorms, garlic and parmesan.

PF Chang shrimp lo mein and a couple of egg rolls.

Shepherd’s pie, green beans, fresh pineapple and orange segments.

I had a very late lunch, so instead of dinner I baked some Toll House chocolate chip cookies. They hit the spot on this cold, rainy evening.

Trout Almondine and asparagus

Wegmans brand refrigerated Vegan and GF Fettucine (with pesto). Absolutely the best in its category.

A spicy salmon-and-rice bowl, another thing Gen Z thinks they invented.

Pasta Mama!

Greek salad with extra kalamatas, and a really good foccacia.

Tomorrow will be chicken and vegetables in yellow Thai curry (the TJ's bottled curries are surprisingly good) and coconut milk, over rice.

FETA and kalamata!!

I had a gorgeous salad: Avocado, gorgonzola crumbles, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cuke, and salmon! Balsamic Vinagrette dressing. And three small spanakopita. Delicious.

Sloppy Tommys - (made with ground turkey). Came out good, but I forgot the Worstershire sauce - which made a difference - but the BF pretended they were OK. I made cottage fries which came out soggy - but he pretended to like them. Oh well - better luck next time.

Chicken cutlets, last night’s reheated penne pasta in pink vodka sauce, mixed greens with sliced beets, mandarin orange segments and candied pecans dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Chicken parm with angel hair pasta and red sauce! TO. DIE. FOAAAH.

"Chinese" chicken salad: lettuce, shredded cabbage, cucumber, green onion, mandarin orange segments and crispy wonton noodles in a soy-ginger vinaigrette. Not really Chinese at all, of course, but Ho Lee Fuk was it good.

Homemade cheese enchiladas, pinto beans, and Mexican rice. Having a Bombay Sapphire G&T right now...

I made a BLT followed by a salad. Never can get enough greens!

Shrimp sauteed in garlic butter with a tossed salad.

Oatmeal in solidarity with the Trump market.

I dunno, whoever’s in my walk-in fridge tonight, I guess.

Salad of cubed jicama, mango, cucumber, red bell peppers, fresh parsley leaves with a dressing of fresh lemon, orange, and lime juices, EVOO, and a dash of chili powder, marinated overnight. The next day, added prawns with a light coating of pepper and chili powder, sauteed and cooled. Husband had something similar at Salt and Stone restaurant in Kenwood, CA. We recreated it at home. This is a keeper! So easy.

My partner keeps making this tuna, anchovy spaghetti dish, which is both inexpensive and delicious.

French fries and beef meat balls. Not a cook.

Two packets of almonds, honey roasted, and wasabi flavored, and a Nutty Buddy.

Everything else in the vending machines was chips or more candy and I didn’t feel like driving somewhere.

Puy lentils with smoked sausage.

This.

Lebanese baked chicken thighs with aioli, roasted vegetable salad, sauteed broccoli raab with garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.

The Lebanese seasoning didn't really have the impact I was looking for. They were supposed to be grilled, but it's cold and nasty here, so they went into the oven. The recipe called the chicken to be served with toum, but I already had aioli from last night, so I used that. I cooked chickpeas to make hummus, but I didn't buy any pita, so that's on tomorrow's agenda.

Inspired by the post about someone wanting to know how to start the Mediterranean Diet, I've started it myself. I'm trying to cut red meat to once a week, chicken twice, fish three times, and one night vegetarian. My partner whole-heartedly approves (we had red meat like four times a week before).

Also tomorrow, I'm going to tackle galaktoboureko rolls, Greek custard rolled up in phyllo pastry baked and soaked in syrup.

Turkey meat loaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli salad

I think I'll make something from Edith's cookbook--potato pancakes, or meat loaf with oatmeal.

Kale Caesar salad, Lamb loin with mushrooms.

Smoked turkey and Swiss with lettuce, tomato, and dijonaisse on a croissant; potato chips, infused San Pellegrino blood orange soda, and the last defrosted slice of a frozen-since-January Costco cheesecake for dessert.

Homemade Roman Holiday and a fresh baguette - and WINE!

Wow you guys are so fancy. I made spicy chicken sandwiches in the air fryer. Recipe from ATK and it was amazing. Also made potato egg salad. I like easy dinners on Sunday night. Having some vino now. Not ready to face another week. I'm so depressed.

Thai takeout (stuffed angel wing and roast duck curry) and a little chamomile tea.

Today was our red meat day. I made a very small corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. And I made the galaktoboureko rolls I referenced at R108. They're fucking awesome.

Hes not fat. Just a bit dumpy like OG Madonna was.

Miso chicken wings

Left over tuna salad open faced. I was gonna do a tuna melt but decided not to. Dinner was very light because I had fresh blueberry pancakes at noon and ate like a pig.

Oink oink

The second half of the huge ham and cheese omelette I made for dinner last night. On some keto bread.

I’m eating my left over bbq pork loin, sautéed cabbage and potato salad. Check it out: I made the salad with dehydrated slices of potato I boiled until just tender, poured a little olive oil, red wine vinegar and seasonings while warm, little onion, sliced green olives, mustard, Mayo, and it is Good!

I have the flu. I ate a mild, dry tabbouleh then a piece of apple pie.

I don’t know yet, I better figure it out

I tossed a salad and had a weiner. I had the bun separately.

R121 here. I changed my mind. Got some garlic parm wings from my Giant supermarket. They were so bland I had to eat a sumo orange to get the taste out of my mouth.

BLTs. It's kind of a give-up meal but I had one not too long ago and realized again what a perfect combo of tastes was in a simple BLT.

One fourth of a surprisingly good Costco 4-topping sheet pizza and a green salad with avocado and tomato. It’s cold and rainy outside and using the oven warmed up the house.

Chips and salsa and chicken picatta.

Baked breaded pork chops, rice pilaf, broccoli, and creamed cabbage...and WINE

Panko breaded chicken breast. Nothing else. later on I ate a couple of Windmill cookies with tea. My stomach has been bothering me for a few days.

Twink ass.

Tonight's menu:

Kraft Mac and Cheese Chef Boyaredee Ravioli Jarred Pickled Beets White Bread

I'm calling it dinner for an 8-year-old in 1978. I'm actually quite excited by it.

Soup. Is. Not. A. Meal. VERA!

Cacio e pepe ravioli (thank you, Trader Joe's) in pesto, with a big green salad.

[QUOTE]Cacio e pepe ravioli

Ooh, I love cacio e pepe. I've never had in ravioli form. On the shopping list.

Tortellini, pesto, big salad

Pain bis grilled in olive oil, made into a Bresaola, parmesan and rucola sandwich. Heidsieck & Co. Monopole Blue Top, a couple years old so quite golden. I wouldn't have popped the Monopole but I plan to finish it with the pain bis and a block of foie gras and apple chutney for dinner tomorrow.

Manwich

I made Pad Thai. Not the one from my cooking class that takes forever....but I found a new commercial sauce from Thailand and followed the recipe on the bottle and it came out great. Not that my local Thai restaurant is packing up and leaving town, but it was easy and delicious and I'm definitely keeping it in my repertoire. No shrimp - they are always over cooked.

Well, it was supposed to be grilled chicken kebabs, baby eggplant, and tabbouleh. However, my partner and I had one of those work days where everything fought us, so he suggested a cocktail and fast food. So we got fish fillets, cole slaw, and mac and cheese from Chicken Express. But I did pop some of those galaktoboureko rolls into the over (I froze some the other day) and that will be dessert.

I’m feeling fancy so I’m will have Chick Fil A instead of my usual KFC.

Broiled ground sirloin burger w/o a roll, Spanish rice, green beans.

I defrosted some chili that I made last month & had it over a baked potato.

R139 I haven't had that in a long time, thanks for the idea.

[quote]I made Pad Thai. Not the one from my cooking class that takes forever....but I found a new commercial sauce from Thailand and followed the recipe on the bottle and it came out great.

Would you be so kind as to mention the brand of the sauce? I'd love to make an easy and delicious pad thai.

R146. I am not joking - it's Cock Brand (I love cock). I got it at the Chinese market I go to in Quincy MA it's imported from Thailand. It has a bright yellow label. If I wasn't such a greenhorn I would post a pic.

Spaghetti and meatballs. Made with Hunts spaghetti sauce.

5-minute pad thai!

Clams Grosses à la Rosie!

Spring cleaning so no time for spaghetti and meatballs. I don’t know what I’m having.

I had a Milton's frozen vegetarian pizza with cauliflower crust. I added mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and garlic. Drizzled olive oil on it. Delicious!

Shrimp Caesar with crusty bread and a glass of Prosecco.

Another ham and cheese sandwich with keto bread. I’m getting so lazy in my dotage…

A Western omelette, steamed asparagus, and fresh mango and tinned cherries for dessert.

I made my spaghetti and meatballs with Hunts sauce. It’s fine. The best part is I made homemade lemon ice cream for desert.

Grilled Mediterranean chicken kebabs, grilled vegetable skewers (red and orange peppers, red onions, zucchini), tabbouleh, and pita that I made today. The internet was down at work and I couldn't work, so I made pita bread. I actually over-baked several of them, but they will make good pita chips for baba ganoush and hummus.

I made chili dogs and coleslaw and spinach dip for dinner. It was really good. We hadn't had that in a long time.

I'm getting lazy, too, as I enter my 70's.I used to not cook once or twice a week, but now, I am reaching into the freezer for stuff most of the time. Oh, I will make a baked Salmon fillet, and microwave a baked potato, steam some vegetable, but to cook an actual meal with effort is no longer interesting to me. The problem is, when I buy something like Costco's homemade chili, or a bag of frozen Chicken tenders I know they have a higher sodium content than I should have and it isn't healthy, but it's something I can't seem to muster the energy to stop. I made myself a mixed salad yesterday. Avocado, Gorgonzola crumbles, slices of Anjou pear, .It was delicious with a balsamic vinagrette.

I'm having angel hair pasta tossed with olive oil, feta cheese, black olives and artichoke hearts. And some Carlo Rossi 'Burgundy'.

Two Babybel cheese and a diet pepsi

Made a Mississippi Pot Roast.

Last week I bought a 3-4lb chuck roast. Yesterday I cut slits in it, and put 5-6 sliced garlic cloves in the slits. Put roast in slow cooker, topped it with powdered ranch dressing and au jus, 6 pepperoncinis, and 1/4 cup cubed butter.

Cooked it on Low for 8.5 hours, adding cubed potatoes, carrots, and bell pepper slices at the 6hr mark.

My Dad's sitter just had some and went back for seconds. Fam will have it for dinner.

Fish tacos (I used frozen, baked, and flaked cod) with a cilantro-lime slaw recipe I made up on the fly, which was delicious.

Shepherd’s Pie, zucchini, and a lemon square

Leftover chili

I got lazy. Busy day. I picked up a rotisserie chicken, made corn on the cob, and broccoli raab..

I put a few of those galaktoboureko rolls that I had frozen in the oven for dessert later.

Takeout night! Chicken Korma, naan and veggie pakora.

Dick

Osso buco left over from last night

I would love to have a clonopin but I already had wine.

R130 Proud Papa, why do you always capitalize WINE?

Ordered in. Portobello tacos with pico, pickled onion, and a spicy crema with roasted corn and coleslaw as sides.

Just made a batch of Indian style butter chickpeas. Will serve with coriander and a squeeze of lime, and some home made garlic naan.

Fish and chips and peas. All frozen.

Cheesy popovers slathered in butter.

R171: I don't know - just feels good to CAPITALIZE it...

It's cold, damp and miserable here. Feels like February. I'm cooking chicken thighs in the instant pot with chicken stock - 10 minutes on high. Serving with Stove Top Stuffing and I will make gravy with the juices. Bread and butter, salad and of course some lovely vino. Just a simple stick to your ribs dinner for winter. Depressed it's already Sunday night and the whole downward spiral of BS starts again tomorrow.

Chicken pot pie turnovers in store-bought empanada shells.

Smoked brisket with NC style sauce and coleslaw on a toasted onion roll, roasted red potatoes, and a green salad with avocado, artichoke hearts, and fried onion rings

Roasted dinner. Sausage peppers, and onions on one sheet pan (olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano)

Another sheet pan with eggplant (olive oil, salt, and pepper), then fixed with extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes. I use Chinese eggplant cut into cubes, and add basil (or parsley). It looked sad without anything green.

I have a couple of eggplants and I have pasta sauce in the freezer. Meat Sauce. I think tomorrow I'm going to bread the eggplant and make eggplant Parmesan.

I need to go food shopping. I'm low on my favorites.

Why bread eggplant before you're going to add sauce to it, R181? IMHO< it becomes a stodgy mess.

Salad. Not that hungry today.

R183, I bread it using panko for exactly that reason. I bread it, fry it, and the add the sauce and cheese and pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes so the cheese melts. It's crunchy and delicious. If I did not bread it it would be mush.

I had rice and broccoli with soy sauce and sweet n sour on it. That’s all.

I treated myself to yummy, greasy chinese take out. Sesame chicken and steamed pork dumplings. It was fucking gooooooooood.

A friend donated left-over seder food. The soup was good. The rest was meh.

Wasn't very hungry tonight so I just took some home made vegetable soup out of the freezer and heated it up with some leftover cornbread from 2 nights ago, reheated in the oven.

Baked Dover sole (see recipe), the Mediterranean salad referenced at the end of the recipe (I used my homemade za'atar instead of sumac and basil instead of parsley), and orzo with lemon pesto. I linked that pesto recipe upthread. Excellent.

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts wrapped in Turkey Bacon, seasoned with a lemon pepper blend. I made Turkey Stovetop Stuffing replacing the butter with EVOO and baked in the oven so the top was crispy. Accompanied by some french green beans heated with some leftover spaghetti sauce.

Sliced roast chicken breast, avocados, tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts, chickpeas, bacon bits, beets, red and orange peppers, a hard-boiled egg and blue cheese over greens with Russian dressing. Jalepeno-cheese toast.

Green chile and cheese enchiladas in green enchilada sauce.

R51 no Melba Toast and Diet Rite Soda?

Oh, that was me at R190

Rice noodle miso soup with cut up hotdogs. I spruced it up with some raw garlic soy sauce, fish sauce, green onions and an egg. Was very good.

Leftover kongnamul-guk, kkakdugi, green beans, zucchini pancake, leftover kkanpunggi and also a small tuna melt because I was craving one.

That all sounds great, R197. I love Korean food, but sticking to Mediterranean diet for now.

Yeah it was a clean out the fridge type dinner, R198.

I had a chicken breast with some lo mein.

Oh, sh*t! All this talk about galaktoboureko reminded me to check when Greek Easter is. This year it's on the 20th -- same day as Fake Easter. Better get busy.

There's a block of Phyllo dough somewhere in the freezer. Even my Mom hated working with it. I'll use the Phyllo to make Spanakopita triangles with half feta and half ricotta due to my salt restrictions; Koulourakia (butter cookies); Greek lemon potatoes (so simple and easy); lentil soup, and a small rack of lamb ($$$) that I'll marinade overnight, then grill. Salad will be just some fresh spinach with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and a simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, and oregano. No salt in the dressing and no Kalamata olives or feta, which I miss. There's no way I'm going to try to make that braided bread again.

Husband and I moved to a new city, so it will be just the two of us this year.

Kalo Pashka! Christo Anesti!

Whenever you can, make a pot of homemade soup, chili, pasta sauce, and freeze it in portions. Being able to reach in the freezer and have something ready to eat in minutes is a great feeling.

Some of this stuff you're listing is loaded with Sodium and carbs. You know you're gonna die from this shit don't you?

Pulled pork, rice

Sorry about your salt restriction, R201. I generally make koulourakia (butter cookies) at Easter, but we're leaving Thursday for vacation in the South Pacific, so I'm not cooking any Easter stuff this year. I do have a few more galaktoboureko rolls in the freezer for a few more days. I was going to make some spanakopita triangles to have on hand, and I have ricotta in the refrigerator, but I've run out of time before we leave. I tried to make the Easter bread (with mahlab and mastic) a few years ago during COVID, but it was kind of a fail. It came very dense. I'm sure it was user error. Anyway, I turned it into overnight French toast and used orange zest and vanilla to flavor the eggs. I made it in foil pans and gave it to the lesbian couple two doors down, and my best friend and his partner. They still mention it.

We spent Easter Saturday and Sunday on Santorini back in 2019. We went to midnight mass in a small town. A real experience!

Alithos Anesti!

A Healthy Choice Cafe Steamer with chicken and pasta with tomato sauce. I over microwaved it and the chicken got tough.

How refreshing to get delicious food ideas without ubiquitous photos or some blogger’s life story

Thai yellow curry with chicken and potatoes, barley rice, clear soup with doenjjang, gat-kimchi and some kind of dressed cucumber dish, haven’t decided yet.

Potato pierogi by Kasia, a local company, and salad with homemade buttermilk ranch.

I need to restock. I made rice pudding the other night for dinner. The delicious slow simmered kind with raw rice and milk. But that is not healthy.

Elephant boogers on a very long baguette.

Bucatini with white clam sauce, possibly fried cauliflower, and pita.

I wasn’t very hungry so I had cottage cheese with pineapple.

Don't laugh - I had a big bowl of microwave popcorn with garlic salt and cheesy brewer's yeast.

wide egg noodles in cream sauce with asparagus, carrots and shredded poached salmon.

I had roast beef, Swiss cheese and kimchi with mayo and onions on toasted Pepperidge Farms Hearty White and some nice iced tea while watching Come Dine With Me with a hot rugby player (not with me, on the show).

Kielbasa with baked beans…

Grilled-out pork tenderloin with a teriyaki sauce, steamed rice, and deep-fried breaded cauliflower.

I’m making Marlene Dietrich’s genuine goulash in the next couple of days.

It's Maundy Thursday.

Pancakes!

I had Tuna/Macaroni Salad. It's one of my favorites. Either elbow or shell macaroni, two cans of Bumble Bee Tuna, Dukes, onions, and celery.

Jelly Bellys and wine.

It's Saturday in Fiji. We're having the local fish and chips for lunch.

Scallops, linguini, with a shallot butter, herb lemon sauce. Green salad. Flourless chocolate cake.

green salad with room temperature egg, merguez, potatoes, and a bit of chopped mostarda, very light creamy honey mustard dressing, as the mustarda was most of the sharp flavour, clairette de die

r233 @Dustin, we loved Fiji (mostly for snorkeling and SCUBA) way back in 1999. But the food was a bit boring at the resorts where we stayed. We visited islands in the Yasawas and Mamanukas. Heaven! Bula bula!

We'd been to Tahiti and Moorea a few years prior, and the French influence was clear -- the food was spectacular.

Enjoy your trip!

Thanks R233. I don't scuba, but will probably snorkel. We're staying in Taveuni starting tomorrow, so we'll see how the food is. I've been on the Mediterranean diet for about a month, so I'll probably stick to fish dishes. The fish and chips we had for lunch was very fresh, but wasn't great. However, the people who work at our hotel in Nadi are so incredibly lovely, we really didn't care.

Oops, I mean R236

I made a baked ham (spiral cut) for Easter. Glazed with maple syrup, dijon mustard and orange marmelade. Also had potatoes and carrots. It was delicious . Saved the shank for pea soup or ham and bean soup.

Eggrolls and dumplings.

Easter dinner with sibs and mom. Lamb, cooked with rosemary and salt in smoker, fig jam, gravy (although I didn't try it), roasted potato halves, homemade yeast rolls, sauteed spinach with garlic, green beans and carrot medley, homemade rhubarb pie. The rolls, green beans, and rhubarb pie were my contributions.

I had the worst taco salad I ever made. Another one of things I eat that has no flavor but I can’t figure out why.

The flavor resides in the meat. Use taco seasoning.

Sounds like a weird dinner but I think it will be good. I made some homemade flatbreads and a dipping "sauce" to eat it with which looks and tastes AMAZING: it has grated lemon peel, diced tomato, diced olives, diced garlic, chopped parsley, parmesan cheese, a bit of lemon juice, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, some of the salt water the olives came in, a tiny bit of olive oil (I barely had any left, but it didnt need it, it was already pretty liquid-y) and a tiny bit of chili oil for kick. It did become a little too salty but I added a bit of water and it took care of that. It's so good, looking forward to enjoying it with some chilled white wine.

Leftover lasagna; my aunt made way too much for the small Easter gathering, and her feelings were hurt when I initially didn't want to take a plate home with me.

No dinner. The mirrors in the changing room this afternoon were unforgiving!

Left over

Cheeseburger 🍔 and fries from Five Guys. I couldn’t quite finish it.

I’ve been kind of sick 100+ fever. Chills. Gastro issues. Slept most of the day. I may have long covid, based on how much I sleep this past year.

Zatarain's black beans and rice.

On a whim, I bought some avocado bread and eating it toasted with butter. Carbs = ecstasy 😋

Slop

I'm recovering from flu. Better except tired. So tonight I made a simple bowl of tuna salad, and a mug of Campbell's Tomato Soup. The tomato soup was OK, but it seemed sweeter than I remember.

Feel better

Croque monsieur. I'm experimenting with less expensive dinners: quiche, crepes, Dutch baby pancakes with filling, flat breads, grandmother pizza, soups, red beans and rice. Carby but good.

Eat some beans

Chicken with cheddar broccoli rice skillet. It's one of my favorite comfort meals of late.

TJs Flatbread truffle pizza and a small salad.

So, I'm thinking. I have a bag of frozen shrimp, I have some chicken breasts, and I have some andouille sausages. Rice. Red Beans. No okra. Don't like it. Red bell peppers not green. So can I do the Jambalaya?

Consider making gumbo without the okra. Got onion and celery, cooking oil and flour? You're good. Save some sausages for red beans and rice. We routinely sub red bell pepper for green pepper.

This is the last full day of our vacation. We're in a pretty remote location, so most of our food has come from the resort kitchen. Had a very light vegetable soup, I split an order of Mongolian beef with my partner, and a slice of a pineapple dessert.

R281: we're having a similar dinner: fried breaded chicken breast, pesto pasta, green beans, and a mixed salad (lettuce, red onions, cucumbers, and tomatoes) Ice cream for dessert.

Risotto, poached egg.

Pasta and prosciutto

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

Hot dogs on buns (brown mustard, horseradish, diced red onion, dill relish), coleslaw (no mayo), macaroni salad.

Home-baked chocolate chip cookies.

R287: YUM!

Homemade street tacos

Smoked turkey on a high fiber multi grain bread with lettuce and mayo.

I doctored up a frozen pizza and failed. Garlic, spinach, onions. Too much garlic. Yuck.

Arugula salad, sushi, Contadi Castaldi Brut Franciacorta

I got some RAO's ravioli on sale BOGO,, so I microwaved one and ate it. Not too bad at all. Then I had ice cream and cookies. Fuck it.

I met my cousin for lunch today at The Blue Gibbon, where I had egg drop soup, fried dumplings, Kung Pao Pork and fried rice. I'm having the doggy bag for dinner.

R269 I enjoy Progresso Tomato basil soup.

R9 I just love that soup.

Our flight just landed back in the US. We're still on the plane, but I'm ready for some home cooking. It might be pasta puttanesca because it's all pantry staples.

One half of a smoked ham and Swiss sandwich on “Country White” bread, pasta salad, greens and a sliced tomato.

Some uninspiring TJ’s carrot cake for dessert. I didn’t eat much.

dover sole, wine sauce with capers, barley, asparagus. My partner is cooking.

You're a lucky one, R300 - I know: my partner is the cook in our family and I feel VERY lucky...

I posted in the other thread someone started for Saturday night, so I'm reposting tonight's dinner. It came out pretty good! Baked cod with lemon and garlic sauce, melanze di Mamma Rosa (roasted eggplant salad), simple Italian potato salad.

r302 Dustin, please tell us how you make your potato salad.

Actually, I'm a better cook than my partner who screws everything up, including the dover sole. But I'm grateful not to have to cook every night.

Chicken tikka masala and onion naan: a doggy bag from my lunch today.

Pot salad. As in 'potato'. That's it.

Haddock filets with lemon butter and capers, baked plantains, green beans.

And a lovely infused beverage.

I made a steak and pepper stir fry, spicy, came out great and rice in our new sakura rice maker - serious fucking rice maker......nice bottle of wine

Chicken and rice. Would have added a salad for some veggies, but the lettuce was looking rather questionable. See link for a quick rice blend from Trader Joe's. I add a garlic marinade for extra flavor.

Buffalo chicken burgers with whipped feta spread, vegetable kabobs and fries.

R22 - I'm embarrassed that I called it a salad. It's a very simple dish my mother used to make. Cook the potatoes in simmering water. until tender. Take them out of the cooking water, reserving the water. Peel and cut into chunks. Add some of the cooking water to the potatoes, a little at a time. Not too much, but allow the potatoes to absorb some of the water. This is so the potatoes don't soak up too much oil. Then smash garlic, add it too the bowl, Add some good EVOO, salt, and chopped Italian parsley. Let it stand for a while for the flavors to meld a bit (while you're making the rest of your dinner), then add a bit more olive oil, and check if it needs more salt. That's it. Very simple, but delicious. I've started using this olive oil.

I like it better than a lot of the ones I've tried. Fairly reasonably priced, not as bitter as some of the popular brands.

R311, my family's version is to boil the potatoes, and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Smashed garlic, salt pepper halved cherry tomatoes and cut green beans, that have been cooked and cooled. Add parsley, fresh basil, and let it set for a few hours in the Refrigerator. The olive oil should be drizzled and give it good coverage, but don't over saturate them.

Spinach salad.

R312 - I bought some green beans this week to make this. I add some vinegar to this version. I like it room temp, but that's just me.

I ate a cheesesteak wrap and coleslaw.

Solomillo al whisky

Patatas fritas

Alcachofas

R312 - this is a good recipe, maybe others will want to make it.

Trust Ashley.
