So what's for dinner?

Lentil-sausage-kale soup. Which I will eat while watching The Mindy Project and avoiding the Superbowl.

Broke in my new wok today. Shrimp chips, and a pork stir fry with garlic, green onions, and rice noodles.

... 2 chicken sandwiches.
nom nom nom

Something easy for a quiet night--baked tilapia and spinach salad with warm bacon dressing.

Baked teriyaki chicken tenders over brown rice, carrots and Italian green beans (flavored with chicken bouillon cubes), and fresh fruit salad.

Corn bread made with a tablespoon of cocoa powder added to the dough.

Reheated, store-bought fried chicken from Sunday Night.

Oh yeah - I'm livin' it up alright.

What's that like? Is it savory? Inquiring minds!

For me it's sauteed cabbage and sausage with fried apples on the side.

There's an earthy sweetness to it, in my opinion. It wasn't a bad idea.

Fritatta

Chopped up peppers, onions, sausage sauteed in oven-proof fry pan.

12 eggs (my guys can polish this off easy) mixed in bowl with grated cheeses and some herbs.

Pour egg mixture over the sauteed stuff. Let set for one minute over medium heat. Put fry pan in oven at 350 degree F for about 10 minutes or until cooked.

What I like about fritatta, is that you really can put anything into it, as long as you have enough eggs to cover the mixture of veggies/meat/whatever.

Chicken again. But homemade Chicken Parmesan. My (non-Italian wife) is asking me for tips. Pounded, breaded, fried, topped with Mozz and baked in ragu, is that right?

Lamb stew. Homemade buttermilk wheat bread. Salad.

McDonalds. We're on the run.

Soup (minestrone), salad, and a glass of red wine at the Olive Garden. It's a diet month, due to pigging out all of January.

And in a couple of hours you'll have the runs.

Ground turkey with sauteed tomato, onion and green pepper. I also had some garlic cheese bread on the side. Pic here if anyone is interested.

Dinner at the closer Thai place. I really needed some Tom Kha soup tonight due to me coming down with something.

Home made fish tacos that were meh. The problem was that I used cod (which I had) instead of mahi (which I didn't).

MM

Homemade pizza.

One with pepperoni, one with roasted peppers and onion

Nothing too exciting here. Spaghetti with jar sauce and frozen meatballs, on fettucine. Brussels sprouts, frozen mixed fruit. Except for me, the too-fat one, who only gets the brussels sprouts and fruit.

Grilled tuna steaks on coconut rice with butter ginger sauce, and a pile of steamed broccoli on the side.

It was going to be onion soup. But... I'm making the beef stock in a brand-new digital-timer crockpot that doesn't seem to actually be working right. The timer countdown stalls after the first 48 min., which is annoying but not critical for this job. (A deal-breaker for other intended uses, however.) More important, after 12 hours on "low" and another 90 min. on "high" the stock is still very weak, the carrots are still hard, and liquid temp. is barely 180 F. I think I'm going to have to throw the whole watery mess out. What a waste of big lovely marrow bones!

(And it will be a nuisance to return/exchange, since the thing was a Xmas gift & I don't think the original box is still on hand. )

Plan B is probably Chinese delivery. The onions will keep.

I was gonna say, lamb chowder, but now it's just chowder *glares at cats*

Baked chicken thighs w/spinach-romaine pesto.

Roast chicken (high heat method), roasted cubed potatoes (method on the previous page), steamed broccoli and pea pods with bought doughnuts for dessert.

And since I love one stop cooking, I've got tomorrow's dinner planned - quesadillas with the left over chicken.
