So what's for dinner?

L M Ashton · Mar 26, 2012

Curried deer meat here. Because yes, I can get deer meat in Singapore.

Oh, and with a big salad for me and spicy chilli potatoes for the hubs.

Kale, green onions, Crimean mushrooms, and egg sauteed in balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Salt and pepper.

The kale gave a decidedly citrus taste.

Long day and I just want something simple and comforting, so I'm baking some chicken (with my homemade coating which I've gotten down pretty well, if I say so myself...) and white cheddar shell pasta with some broccoli. Boring, simple and delicious- perfect for a Monday!

Leftovers...

Lamb chops - Kale - Mac n Cheese

A variation of Eggs Benedict.

This is actually lunch but since I eat dinner at work most nights...

Had some eggs left to use so I scrambled 'em and added a leftover mixture of cooked onions, mushrooms and bacon, then when it was almost done added a huge handful of shredded cheese. Basically a messy omelet. Delicious.

Dinner will probably be something like a basic green salad with feta cheese, a white nectarine sliced up and either a yogurt or a piece of the bread I made yesterday.

Whole wheat wraps w/ mayo, chopped jalepeno, Dietz & Watson turkey breast, lettuce, cheddar cheese. Simple but so good.

Wait. I thought this thread was about food. You know. Real food. Like this:

I'll be on my way now. :gone:

Put some spare ribs in the oven for a slow roast. When those are ready, I'll slather on some sauce and probably pop them under the broiler for a few more minutes. Then it's onto a plate with some potato salad, and I'll attack it WITH MY FACE.

ETA: Well, crapsticks. Not enough barbecue sauce for the ribs. Guess I'll douse them in teriyaki sauce instead.

Lavern08 · Jun 18, 2012

Perdue Oven-Ready Roaster, (homemade) Potato Salad and (fresh) Green Beans

(Raspberry Sorbet for dessert) :tongue

Leah J. Utas · Jun 18, 2012

I'm making a second attempt at beef souvlaki tonight. My first attempt went well, but it may have been beginner's luck.
I've chopped a roast and have had the meat marinating in olive oil, lemon, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper since late yesterday.
It'll be cooked in a panini press.
I'm also field testing tofu based Tzatziki sauce tonight.
Will be served with a veggie to be named later and some homemade pita bread.

Kewii · Jun 18, 2012

Tonight we're having steak

AncientEagle · Jun 19, 2012

Yellow squash, boiled cabbage, and home made corn bread baked in an ancient cast-iron skillet. Generous portions. Delicious!

lorna_w · Jun 22, 2012

side salad out of a bag and my "whatever" noodle casserole:

8 ounces wide egg noodles, boiled al dente
1 can diced tomatoes, whatever flavor suits you
8 ounce package of shredded cheddar cheese (or jack, or moz-asiago, or whatever floats your boat tonight. I use 2% cheddar.)

Stick in non-stick casserole/baking dish, stir up some. Cook at whatever moderate temp for whatever time. If you overcook it a little, the browned parts at the edges taste great. Just get the cheese melted; that's the important part. Serves 4-5. Reheats well.

Pretty much idiot-proof, low prep time, one of my oft-repeated dinners.

At work, I accomplished a freakish amount of work in a short period of time that left the evening shift a ridiculously easy time of things on a Saturday night. So, I left work early and went out to dinner. I had a Chipotle Lime Chicken Salad that I couldn't get enough of, and, a mini Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding with Custard Sauce. (Which I believe is Latin for, "You've just been hugged!")

blacbird · Jun 23, 2012

Grilled wild-caught salmon, brushed with melted butter infused with minced fresh herbs (cilantro, chervil, dill, sorrel) from my garden.

Sliced crimini mushrooms (from the store) and fresh young bok choi (from my garden), sautéed in sesame oil and a little ground pepper.

A long grain and wild rice pilaf from a package, with added chopped criminis, a scallion, and some leaves of the wild chickweed (also from my garden).

kikazaru · Jun 24, 2012

That sounds fabulous Blacbird. I made salmon on Friday night except my salmon was not freshly caught and I bbqd it with a teriake sauce. I served it with a side of steamed asparagus, a Greek/marinated artichoke quinoa salad (first time making quinoa - delish!) a Caesar salad and watermelon for desert.

I went to a friend's cottage last evening for an appetizer dinner. This friend is a world class cook, everything was wonderful but these stood out - a recipe from Lucy Waverman's column in the Globe and Mail this week (everything Lucy Waverman makes is out of this world) - "Seared scallop ceviche" aka scallops on sweet potato pancakes with a lime cilantro salsa. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/recipes/seared-scallop-ceviche/article650864/

Omg. To. Die. For.

Ha! We had salmon teriyaki Friday night!

Spanakopita tonight.

kikazaru · Jun 24, 2012

Must have been international teriyaki Friday!

(but teriake/teriyaki - damn it! I knew it didn't look right when I spelled it...!)

Spanakopita -yummm, do you put fresh dill in yours?

No, I've actually never heard of dill being put in it! Huh. I use parsley, oregano, a little thyme, and a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon (I've heard varying opinions on how traditional cinnamon is, but I like it). And onion & garlic of course.

I do little roast potatoes with the same seasonings, salt and pepper, and some lemon juice added about fifteen minutes before they're done.

plain and simple · Jun 24, 2012

I have veggies to be used so I'm making a vegetable vindaloo for dinner and roasting the rest to make homemade vegetable stock to can.

The potatoes sound fab, I do something similar only with fresh rosemary, garlic, onions, lemon (juice and grated rind) olive oil and butter.

I've been making this recipe for years. I originally got it from a Greek cookbook, but it's also on allrecipes. The dill really makes it imo.

Tonight I'm having a bbq dinner party.

On the menu;

Libations - gin and tonics, "cottage coolers" (a citrus medley I mixed up with some grenadine to serve with gin or vodka) and wine.

Appetizer - brie, pepper jelly and crackers and others brought by guests

Main course - rib eye steaks

Sides -
- tossed salad with a homemade mustard vinaigrette
-grilled veggies (carrots, peppers, mushrooms, red onion, asparagus tossed in garlic, olive oil, lemon and rosemary)
- baked potatoes,
-bakery dinner rolls

Dessert - home made strawberry rhubarb (from my garden) pie with home made vanilla ice cream.

As I was doing all this today I realized that had I been the least bit organized I could have done a lot of this ahead of time instead of rushing around like a fool shopping, chopping, cooking, baking and icecream making.

So what's for dinner?
