Everyone enjoyed pizza and wings yesterday while I was at work. Today - I had microwaved pizza and wings.

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

I order out on weekends just because I bring my lunch and dinner to work everyday. Lunch consists of a sandwich (no doubt PB&J) and for dinner it's leftover pasta or Lean Cuisines I got in sale.

Tonight I ordered my favorite:

A portobello sandwich on foccachia bread and a caesar salad. Could I make it myself? Of course. It just helps with the sucky week that I KNOW is ahead of me.

EM I hate you right now. My old roommate made that twice and it was pretty badass. If you and your chick are ever in the indy area and you get busy for a day or so and want someone to show her around the area in trade for some decent food well...

I know sweetheart, but I LOVES my sleep. And I have such trouble with it.

SOMETIMES

I take horseradish hummus and put it on pumpernickle with tomato.

I'm not in the least bit creative and I think it affects my work and mood.

God help those in reach of my bad mood.

Give me a list of some things you like and I will create something for you that takes the time of a pbj that you can make the night before and grab on the way out. I loathe mornings so I know how you feel (also I have eliminated coffee from my morning so I am a thrill to run into in the AM).

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

THE LIST

hummus/babaganouj
turkey
cheese (provolone, cheddar, muenster; "light cheeses")
Veggies
Roasted veggies
I LOVE whole grain breads
pasta
tuna

That's all I can think of at the moment. Keep in mind I am on a budget.

No scene. Just tired of PB and J. I am on a bit of a budget, but I can afford some "fancy" things like good spices and mustard and good bread.

I tend to buy the crappy tubs of "turkey" (2/$7) instead of going to the deli counter. I'd rather have better and cheaper (KEY WORD) ingredients.

what is your kitchen/prep area..oven/stovetop?

what is your kitchen/prep area..oven/stovetop?

Tiny and basic. I usually rest my cutting board over the sink.

I have gas appliances.

[Friday]

Jaubly... i need suggestions on a budget too.

I am dealing with Ramen and Elios pizza and roughly crafted salads/pasta dishes.... it's not easy.
And you KNOW I have wine/food snobbery in me... this is worse than not being able to buy new shoes. by a LONG SHOT.

give me some budget-friendly options with chicken/beef.... pleaaaase :)

(and i have a gas stove and TONS of cooking equipment including a great crock pot)

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

YES!! Brown bag lunches and dinners on a budget would be great!!!!



















ps-- have I mentioned just HOW sensuous food is????? SWAK!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

We went out for my wife's birthday and I had Schnitzel and some sort of Beet salad. I don't know what was in the schnitzel but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Tasted like veal.

I will save this post to file as a strict agreement.

Maybe I'll have her hook up some of that Japanese style braised pork belly as well. Any wonder I've gained like 30 pounds since meeting her?

The Chicken:
one of the cheapest ways to buy chicken is to get it whole and do the work yourself ($1.09 a pound at my A&P.) here's how to get 2 meals out of it:

Buy a 3&1/2 or 4 pound bird and decide if you want to roast the whole thing or half.

Roasting-
rinse it, pat it dry, rub with olive oil, salt & pepper the whole bird (inside & out)-garlic powder, onion powder or goya adobo optional. Stick a half of a lemon and some fresh herbs inside the cavity.
On a roasting rack in a pan cook at 325 degrees for 45-60 mins. juices should run CLEAR. Maybe roast or bake some potato at he same time. let it sit for 10 mins and carve.

If you roast the whole chicken...eat half at dinner and use the rest of the meat for chicken salad for lunch.

If you roast half...save/freeze the remaing leg/thigh/breast/wing for a cacciatore out of your crock pot. (add a chopped onion to the bottom of the crock pot, then the cut up chicken pieces, a crushed clove of garlic, a bayleaf, some oregano, s&p, a small can of tomato paste, and a 1/4-1/2 cup of broth or water. Set it on low when you leave for work it'll be done when you get home (7-10 hrs). Serve over pasta.

http://www.tnbeefcattleinitiative.org/NewSite/images/cattle-knx9.jpg
Where's the Beef?:

buy a 1&1/2-2lbs flank steak or london broil,

Meal #1-cut half of it into 1/8in strips (against the grain) and marinate them in:
1/4 cup soy sauce, garlic, tsp. brown sugar, 1/2 tspchili powder, 1/2 lemon juice and a tsp of peanut butter.
after a few hours (or overnight) thread the meat on wet bamboo skewers and grill (use a grill pan if you have to. (you could also stirfry the strips with some veggies in a wok.)
Serve over rice.

Meal #2- cut the rest of the beef into cubes, dredge them in flour and just brown the cubes in some oil. you can use these for a beef stew in your crock pot. add mushrooms, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes and beef broth, a little seasoning and let it cook on low all day. When you get home just make some egg noodles and thicken the stew with some corn starch (mixed in water first). or just get some nice crusty bread on the way home and skip the noodles.

The chicken dishes probably cost you $2-3 a piece. The beef $3-4. and you'll probably have some leftovers!

I hope I helped.

I was going to fry some fish, but my sister brought over some chicken salad from Costco. It was ok, but I found a bone in it. I've never found a bone in chicken salad before!

After work I went to Taco Bell; fuckin' awful

[bigredd]

Last night I grilled a pork chop and a couple chicken breasts. Hit the chops with a meddley of fresh cracked pepper corns...some red, white and black a lil bit of Cavendar's seasoning, hot paprika and some minced garlic before I grilled them and put 20 minutes of hickory smoke to em. The chicken breasts just got a lil salt and some cayenne pepper. Had a Ceasar salad and some stuffed mushrooms for an app. Ummm mmm good. A few cold beers and and a hot bowl or four and it was a good night.

[Lady Resin]

Beer can chicken, wasabi mashed potatoes and corn.

I went crazy with garbanzo beans today. I made a hash with mashed garbanzo beans, onion, bread crumbs, egg, salt, tumeric and a little fresh parsely, mixed it all together and cooked it on a skillet. When it was almost done I melted in swiss cheese and mixed it in.... with a little sour cream on the side and it was great! It's a completely bastardized version of my mother's falafel recipe.

8's taking me out for sushi tonight. It'll be only the second time I've had it since I had the baby (the first time was up in New Hampshire this weekend... the less said about the quality of that stuff, the better).

[PapaBear]

For tomorrow... Bone in NY Strip steaks, marinated in Stubbs marinade (never tried it before), baked potatoes, and Pillsbury frozen soft dinner rolls. (No. They're not soft until AFTER you cook them).

BTW... The marinade I usually use only takes about 20 minutes. This one doesn't say how long I should do it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm of the opinion that marinade should be done overnight... really let it soak in.

Once I let my lemonade pork chops marinade for 2 days - they were fantastic.

We had some strip steaks tonight as a matter of fact - heavy on the sea salt and cracked black pepper for me. Steamed broccoli and brown rice - then onto some quadruple lattes.

I was going for a good pic and the battery died on my camera. Stupid camera.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to go put them in right now. Plus, it's an other opportunity to to look at the steaks. I love the look of a good cut of raw steak!

[Thebazile78]

Hmmmm...this week's dinners were fun.

Monday's was cumin-grilled chicken breasts with A.B. stovetop macaroni & cheese and steamed yellow wax-beans.

Last night's was grilled strip steak with oven-roasted potatoes (Alexia brand - garlic, rosemary & olive oil flavor; YUM!) and corn on the cob (microwaved in a Ziploc brand "steam fresh" baggie; kind of screwed up, though because I misread the instructions.)

Tonight's will be grilled hot dogs and some sort of vegetable side. Possibly the remaining corn on the cob, but I haven't quite decided yet.

Tomorrow will be Taco Bake. (I think I will post that recipe in the Recipe Thread.)

Friday's dinner is still TBD. A lot will depend on what we have in the house.

[Lady Resin]

Bruschetta chicken bake. I got the recipe off a box of Stove Top. I'm gonna kick up a notch. It's the first time I'm making it.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i had a roasted turkey hungryman and for dessert i had a few crackers with peanut butter on them.

It was dinner with just my wife and my 4 year old son so I made a "Caveman Dinner". Grilled terryaki marinated Chicken Legs, rice pilaf and steamed broccoli. I put a big pile of rice in the middle of the plate, surrounded by two chicken legs and broccoli plated to look like trees.

Then I put a small plastic dinosaur in the middle of the rice pilaf on all three plates. Kids love when you do stuff like that.

Until they're old enough to remind you that dinosaurs never chowed down on cavemen 'cause they missed each other by a couple million years, but that's the beauty of having a 4-year-old.

I now live a half-mile from a good butcher, so tonight it's a toss-up between a 12oz. boneless ribeye or kobe burgers. And tonight I'm determined to use the grill that the previous condo-owner left (it uses gas directly from the house), and plan on not blowing up anything.

Tonight it's a sub samich from a local pizza joint. Ham, Canadian bacon, salami and peperroni with some moz and cheddar, lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo. Ummm mmm good. I've got the strep and nothing sounds good but I' betting this is gonna rock.

I did make myself some homemade chicken noodle for lunch though. Nothing special; an easy broth from water, bulion, salt and pepper with chicken tenderloins and egg noodles.

let us know if your ok or if we should call the FD...Im also intrigued as to what you made.

[EliSnow]

I did Bobby Flay's Cuban burgers tonight. Very good, but I think I needed a little more dijon/mayo with them.

Still my favorite burgers to make.

[razorboy]

Grass fed angus ribeye marinaded with Guinness, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, shallots and Worcestershire tonight. So good.

[hedges]

let us know if your ok or if we should call the FD...Im also intrigued as to what you made.

The grill was a breeze, it just needed to be cleaned up a bit. I went for the ribeye, with bakers from the kitchen--kept it simple. Tonight I'm going with the kobe burgers. I'd like to mix it up and try to grill some vegetables and chilis in the future. I gotta check out the grillin' thread.

[joethebartender]

Why is everyone on here so quick to marinate a strip steak or a ribeye?
What kind of horse meat are they selling you?

If you're paying good money for those cuts, they should be tender enough without the marinade. In fact, a ribeye can go even longer on the heat (and stay tender) with its fat content. Enjoy the "steak" flavor of steak!

Go with a brush of olive oil and a good seasoning of salt and pepper then place them on a really hot grill. Save the marinating for the flanks, skirts, chucks & london broils.

Joe

YUM! Enjoy! (Now I want injera!)

One of my favorite restaurants is an Ethiopian place. They also serve honey-wine (tej?) and used to have an accompanying gift shop with all kinds of crafts from around Africa.

On Thursdays, they have live music. And they have one of the best-stocked bars in the area.

Yeah, we ordered a bottle of Axum tej and Dukam red for the table. Good stuff, both. Someone from my party informed the ladies who served us that it was my birthday, and they had me get up and dance with them. This is a small family operation, and the gesture seemed pretty genuine, and as I was pretty inebriated at the time I obliged, although it was still pretty embarrassing. We're going back this weekend for a live Ethiopian band. It should be fun.

I got a nice NY Strip steak about 1.5 to 2 inches thick. I have no grill so I usually sear it in a pan and throw it in the oven. I read online that Cooks Illustrated suggests doing the opposite. setting the oven to 275, getting the internal temp of the steak to 90 degrees, then searing it. The reasoning is that by first bringing the internal temp up to 90 degrees, the final sear is able to give you a nice caramelized crust without the usual band of overcooked gray meat that sits just below the surface and the undercooked, often raw center that follows.

Has anyone tried this?

Yeah, I couldn't agree more, although not doing marinades that often probably is more a reflection of my laziness then anything else. But I do go for the "steak" flavor of steak. I like the simplicity of it. Sea salt, pepper, olive oil, that's it.

[hedges]

Anaheim chilis and portobello mushrooms on the grill very soon.

[ChimneyFish]

Haven't decided yet, but I'm either going with chicken tacos or ravioli and meatballs.

I might make some creamed corn too because the kids like it.

Grilled pork tenderloin with a hot paprika, chili powder, garlic, thyme and mustard rub then a lil honey & santa fe dressing while it grills. Ummm ummm good...I hope anyway. The recipe is from www.kraftfoods.com but I'll make a couple adaptations and see how it goes.

[Thebazile78]

Tonight's menu features strip steak, salad and oven-roasted potatoes (Alexia brand.)

I'm hungry already.

[razorboy]

I'm going to a friend's house to watch football and he's making beef pastelitos. Goddamn, I love those Cubans.

[Drunky McBetidont]

made a big pot of chili last night (it is always better second day) and made corn bread muffins today to go with it. mmmmmmm good.

[yojimbo7248]

there was a deal on bluefish so I thought I'd give it a shot. I've never prepared it before. I am going to make a marinade I used to make in Hawaii that combines oil, shoyu, lemon juice, and green onions. I'll serve it with potatoes.

[KatPw]

I'm making a variation of a recipe I found online. The original is called "the Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich" http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/marlboro_mans_f/.
But I am serving it on homemade flour tortillas instead of on hoagie rolls. And I also added in green pepper strips, I think it would be boring if it was just meat and onions. Also, string beans and homemade macaroni salad on the side.

Tonight....alcohol and plenty of it!!!

[Ogre]

Pork loin was on sale so we will inject it with some Tony C's Creole Butter, use some BBQ rub to crust the outside and roast it in the oven. Some sugar snap peas and with red potato oven roasted with a kinda cajun garlic sprinkle I mix up. Greens with oil and vin to start.

Roasted white meat chicken with fried flat rice noodles, arugula, slices of onion, diced garlic and hot peppers. Lots of spicy sauces. Slice of lemon.

Yes, I'm ordering Thai food. Cooking's for fools!

Just finished a fantastic lightly breaded chicken breast with some type of Frank's Hot Sauce coating on cous cous and mixed vegetables.

[ChimneyFish]

We're getting rocked here, too.(SE PA)

Luckily, I grilled some chicken a few days ago.

So, tonight will be pieces of grilled chicken breast, tomato slices, black olives, parmesan cheese, lettuce, some crutons and Caesar dressing.
Don't know whether to just make a salad or throw all that in a nice big tortilla.(minus the crutons)

[KnoxHarrington]

Right now, I got some chicken drumsticks marinating in a Caribbean jerk sauce (which is from a bottle). Gonna let them sit a while, then I'm going to bake them, and serve them up with some fried potatoes and some seasoned black beans.

Yeah, I'm gonna be farting later. But it'll be worth it. I don't mind farting a lot after a good meal. What pisses me off is eating shit and then farting a lot.

I made chili with red kidney beans, and we had homemade pita bread on the side. First time making pitas, and I got them all to pop beautifully. I rule.

Nice, we had shredded cheese too. Sometimes I add sour cream also, but that is only if I make it too hot.

[hunnerbun]

Tomato soup and made from scratch clubhouse. Found a great recipe for Foccacia (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe-Tools/Print/PrintFull.aspx?RecipeID=17918&servings=12), really easy to make and delicious. Grilled some chicken and used tomatoes from my garden.
I am sitting here like a blob waiting for everything to digest a bit so I can have dessert. Chocolate Raspberry Tart (http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/recipe.cgi?r=65200). The only thing I changed was I used a premade tart base instead of a pie crust.

[FunkyDrummer]

Just had baked ribs with mushroom sauce and homemade yam fries. Oh and two beers.

[Thebazile78]

I like those frozen Alexia potatoes and onion rings, I buy them pretty frequently.

The stores by me where they are cheapest are Wegman's and Target, both of which have factored into my grocery shopping trips.

I like them especially because they don't have all kinds of processed crap in them ... and they taste good even if you forget to flip them halfway through the cooking time.

We haven't tried the onion rings yet. (I have to figure out a dinner where they'll go well.)

Speaking of dinner:

Last night was the Giada recipe for chicken parmesan (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chicken-parmesan-recipe/index.html) with fettucine and bruschetta. I haven't tried making the marinara sauce yet, mostly because I don't have a food processor at the moment and my blender is dying, so I use jarred sauce from Wegman's. (Oh so good. And cheap, too.)

Monday night, we had the Tyler Florence "Ultimate" recipe fajitas (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/fajitas-recipe2/index.html) with Spanish rice (from a box) and Southwest style corn (Bird's Eye Steam Fresh) ... mmmmm, steak. One reason I like this recipe is that it gives me a way to use up the leftover chipotle chiles from my black bean chili recipe (will post this later in the "wintertime foods" thread) ... the other reason I like this recipe is it gives me a reason to use a blender. (OK, so what if it calls for an immersion blender. I have one, but it's not very good. So I use a regular blender and it works just as well.)

Tonight is supposed to be hot dogs and Alton Brown stovetop macaroni and cheese (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/stove-top-mac-n-cheese-recipe/index.html). I will also be making broccoli slaw with the Ellie Krieger dressing (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/creamy-broccoli-slaw-recipe/index.html) I saw on TV. (Again, since I don't have a food processor right now, I buy the pre-shredded slaw in bags.)

[ANC]

Last night for me and my chick I made Ham & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/eating-well/ham-cheese-stuffed-chicken-breasts-recipe/index.html) and they were damn tasty. The only thing I did different from the recipe was properly stuffing the chicken breasts instead of just butterflying them and making a stuffing sandwich with them as the recipe says.

[joethebartender]

I caught me a bucket full of porgies and a few big sea bass today. Dinner was deelicious! Handed out a few "care packages" to some friends and have a bag o' filets left over for the freezer.

I have to try the Alton Brown mac and cheese soon. Have you thought about getting a stick blender? They aren't expensive, and they work great. I have a cuisinart one, about $30 at Macy's. If you get one, don't get an all plastic one, if you can avoid it. The all plastic ones tend to crack. If you can get all steel, even better. But if it just has the plastic where the blade is, those are good too. Also, the white plastic gets discolored by tomato sauce instantly, so if you are type A about that stuff, go for stainless, or black.
ETA: didn't see the part where you said you had one. Is yours possibly an old model? My old one sucked ass. The one I have now was cheaper and is awesome.

A.B. mac and cheese is the best. Both the stovetop (linked above) and the baked (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/baked-macaroni-and-cheese-recipe/index.html) versions rule. And they please difficult palates. Like our 6-year-old niece, who doesn't eat anything outside her comfort level. So...that means a lot of hot dogs, chicken fingers and macaroni and cheese.

My immersion blender was one I picked up in the grocery store. It's white plastic and it sucks.

I've been considering a stainless steel model to replace it, but I'd have to be 100% sure I would use it before I replaced it. Because the current one sucks so badly, I haven't used it a whole heck of a lot.

Also, I'm starting to move away from plastic utensils and tools as much as I can. Unless you shell out for good ones, they generally suck.

Unless you shell out for good ones, they generally suck.Not to mention that cheap utensils cost you more money in the long run, because you have to replace them more often. I'm really trying to take AB's approach to gadgets, they better serve more than one purpose (for the most part). I'm not bothering getting a food processor, I have a manual one from tupperware that I use if I don't feel like chopping things. But for some reason, I love the immersion blender. I make a lot of sauce, so it gets a lot of usage. And it is also good for blended soups. I have a conventional blender, but it is ancient so I only use it for smoothies (you can smell the ozone burning when I use it, that is how old it is, but the damn thing still works).

Made Alton Browns Mussel Recipe last night for me and my chick. It was delicious!

2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 large leek, cleaned, trimmed, and chopped
Pinch kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
20 mussels
1 ripe tomato, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups white wine
Chopped parsley

Hardware:
8-quart nonreactive, stainless steel stockpot
Metal colander or steamer insert
In the stockpot, sweat the garlic, leeks, and salt in the olive oil until softened over medium-low heat. Place the mussels in the colander and spray them with cold water to remove any excess dirt or grit. Remove any beards with a pair of needle-nose pliers.

Add the chopped tomato and the wine to the stockpot and turn the heat to medium high, and bring to a simmer. Insert the colander of mussels into the stockpot and cover. After 3 minutes, check to see if the mussels have opened. If some are still closed, cover the pot, and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Discard any unopened mussels.
Place the mussels in a serving bowl. Remove 10 mussels from their shells and add them to the stockpot. Using a stick blender or a bar blender, puree the mussels until the liquid is of a sauce-like consistency. Pour the sauce over the mussels and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with a loaf of crusty bread.

He and all his friends up there had a "Thanksgiving dinner" type deal, and now my fridge is packed with food.
I've got to choose from pierogies, turkey and ham with stuffing and mashed potatoes and veggies, baked ziti and hoagies.

It's craziness up in my fridge right now.:thumbup:

Fuckin' love falafel. There was a little take out place in Halifax that made the best falafel pita wraps. Ohhh their tzatziki and hummus was the bomb...

Miss Halifax :down: :glurps:

[Thebazile78]

Last night was sausage & peppers ... I brought home FRESH MADE chicken sausages (sweet Italian style) from Wegman's with a package of soft Italian sub rolls, a Spanish onion and two green peppers.

Oh, and there was also a salad ... Italian escarole blend with shredded carrots and leftover Caesar croutons.

Tonight ... I'm not sure what we're having. Maybe stovetop macaroni & cheese.

Just got done. Great as usual. I got to use the broiler for the first time. That glaze rocks! I love the stove top. The meat just feel off of the bone. I'll have to check out broccoli slaw. I was lazy and went to the corner deli to get the cole slaw. Wasn't bad at all.

I made my own. It's not hard, just time consuming. Same with the pita. For a packaged mix get Manischewitz brand, it's quite good. Just mix it with a bit of water and fry them up.
ETA: I don't know if that brand is carried in Canada. Check the ethnic food aisle.

Tonight I'm making roasted chicken legs, with homemade macaroni salad. We are also having the baked beans Mike made yesterday in the pressure cooker. His beans rock.

[jetdog]

Perhaps I will just heat up some soup and cry into it.
