What's for dinner, part two?

Grilled ribeye steak, corn on the cob, sauteed mushrooms, and maybe something with tomatoes. Our tomato plants have started to produce a bit, and our basil plant has taken off.

I think I’m making chicken with Boursin cheese.

Plus veggies.

Chicken thigh cacciatore over kabocha squash polenta.

What is kabocha squash polenta, R3?

Sunday ass

Gluten free lasagna

R4, a regular creamy polenta that I add some roasted kabocha squash into. It sounds weird but really good. More of a fall meal though.

Salmon, brussels sprouts and cous cous.

Wolf brand chili with beans doctored with pepper Monterey Jack cheese. Side salad.

Thanks, R7 - so there is corn in it. I thought it was something like "cauliflower rice," which isn't rice at all. I love squash so that sounds good!

Oh, I forgot grilled asparagus with aioli at R1.

R10, yep, it's still cornmeal-based. I just add pureed, roasted kabocha squash and it lends a nice orange color, too.

Curried spaghetti with coriander chutney.

I did creamy lemon pasta with chicken, basil, and peas. All cooks in one pot.

Bean and cheese burritos. Last night I cooked a steak and stir fried Brussels sprouts. Delicious but I don’t want to cook tonite.

Michelle Obama's bean salad.

^^^ I had white beans over stale Italian bread for lunch today

Grilled salmon with basil aioli, sauteed broccoli raab, and tomato salad with bulgur, Persian cucumbers, shallot, and vinaigrette dressing.

I was all ready to start my dinner - was going to poach a chicken breast, then cube it up onto salad greens. Then my stomach just started feeling really crampy and sick. I hate when that happens right before a meal.

Pizza, in front of the tv. Ya' know, a DL private banquet!

Stir fried vegetables with big chunks of tofu in white sauce. It was more like steamed vegetables but they turned out great. I only really fried the mushrooms, onions, and celery, then steamed the cabbage, snow peas, thin sliced carrots, and broccoli florets. Used a half can of bamboo shoots instead of water chestnuts, because the texture of the later gives me the willies. No rice and low carbs tonight.

Attempted to make apricot compote sweetened with Stevia that I was going to use in a ground almond meal cake, but aborted that effort and just ended up pouring boiled and cooled apricot soup over plain Greek yogurt. Partner added honey and ground cardamom or cloves or something to his and had seconds. Crushed, toasted pistachios might be a good addition next time.

Hamburger patty and Kraft Mac n cheese.

Haddock, bock toy, bulgar

Thai cashew salad

Grilled chicken shawarma bowl (which is really a glorified salad). Chicken, marinated in shawarma seasoning, oil, and lemon juice, then grilled in skewers. Bulgur, then chopped romaine, then red pepper, tomato, cucumber, and red onions, then the chicken, feta cheese, parsley, mint, and a lemon/olive oil vinaigrette.

It started simple (really) but I can't help myself, and the list of ingredients grew. It looked and tasted great. My partner heartily approved. He skewered and grilled the chicken, bless him.

Your post is disqualified because of your use of "veggies."

Nearly passed out in supermarket buying salmon, so had to buy an exorbitant hummus and crackers snack and a Coke Zero.

Said salmon will be served with rice, carrots and broccolini.

Vegetarian night. Penne with pomodoro sauce using the passata I made last fall, mixed with a bunch of "san marzano" tomatoes I bought at the Middle Eastern market a couple of weeks ago. They get vegetables that don't go to Kroger, etc. but are perfectly fine. They were like $.50/lb. We're going away for the weekend and what we had left was on it's last legs, so they got blitzed and added to the passata. On that same trip, I got a bag of five heads of romaine lettuce. Caesar salad to go with the pasta. Since I made the executive decision to have pasta (shouldn't have), I'm my wisdom I also decided to make a loaf of bread because I didn't have croutons. Pasta, homemade sauce, fresh bread, salad, fucking great dinner. All those carbs, I'm typing fat. But so it goes.

Well, veggies was easier to write than some fresh broccoli and the frozen vegetable mix that has peas, carrots corn and green beans. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tonight I’m making barramundi fillets with more boursin and a side salad.

Steak Diane, beet salad with feta and candied walnuts, and sauteed broccoli rabe (garlic, Fresno peppers, evoo)

The tl;dr part - I had a large ribeye that I had defrosted. I cut it into two, and we had it grilled on Sunday. I didn't want to re-freeze the other half so we're having an extra meat night ton. I split it across it's length to make two thinner steaks and pounded them to 1/4 in. However, it was the part of the steak with the big fat part in the middle, so I cut that out and used Moo Glue to put it back together.

Carry on.

Oh, come now. Would writing "vegetables" instead of "veggies" taxed you all that much that you needed to resort to frauspeak?

done made me a pizza - pepperoni, onion, red and yellow pepper, mushroom - just fridge stuff that needed to get eaten up - was great!

I do that with eggs. All the veggies, excuse, me, vegetables that I have left over in the fridge. Great omelette.
