What's for dinner?

[cougarjake13]

[Chip196]

Mrs. 196 was craving something spicy, so I made Chicken Enchiladas with Rice and Beans.

[razorboy]

Nothing. I have a stupid stomach flu.

sorry to hear that budday

[razorboy]

sorry to hear that budday

Thanks budday. Hopefully it's just a twenty-four hour thing, but my toilet and I have become close personal friends as of late. I think we might be going steady. It's Powerade, ginger ale and Dramamine for me tonight.

[Lady Resin]

I've had Jambalya slow cooking since 10:30 this morning. Looks and smells great.

I just finished off the turkey related leftovers yesterday. Still working on the soup. How long is too long???

[Heather 8]

Went to Lee & Mt Fuji in Peterborough; I had the age tofu and the Marlborough roll (a special roll with avocado, cucumber, and crabstick on the inside, spicy tuna on the outside, and topped with a sweet sauce & crunchies). Very good stuff.

[Jughead]

I'm not cooking tonight.... Busy packing to move in with Lady Resin.....:smile:

[Thebazile78]

The aforementioned chicken soup turned out very nicely.

It became kind of a "refrigerator Velcro" type of recipe while I hunted for the carrots I had left over from pot roast on Sunday.

I got to use my Le Creuset enameled cast iron soup pot that's been sitting in my in-laws' house for over 2 years, seeing as how it was an engagement gift that we were unable to start using right away in our apartment.

It is THE best pot I have ever owned.

[Friday]

When will you learn to cook?

Seriously!
I am going to start driving my leftovers to Elmwood Park!


a friend of mine in the show packaged special batches of her Turkey Soup for the whole cast since we are all in various stages of illness this week. I swear it cured me.... so delicious and healthy! Magical Turkey Soup Elixer FTW!

[joethebartender]

Mrs. 196 was craving something spicy, so I made Chicken Enchiladas with Rice and Beans.

Enchiladas are so underated. I love them. Do you make your own sauce? Tell me how you go about making yours.

Mine are just sauteed chicken, onions and peppers wrapped in tortillas. I put them in a baking dish with reduced tomato sauce seasoned with cumin, chili powder and Cholula pepper sauce. Cheese on top and bake.

[razorboy]

Do you make your own sauce? Tell me how you go about making yours.

Ewww.

Did u really find an old rooster? ...or did you make a chicken in a crock pot?

[Lady Resin]

Did u really find an old rooster? ...or did you make a chicken in a crock pot?

I actually did find a recipe that called for a rooster. I have no idea where I could get one. I got a whole chicken cut up from the butcher. It came out pretty good. The meat just fell off the bone. Next time I'm going to add more wine.

[Lady Resin]

Pork chops with a fennel and caper sauce, mashed potatoes and white corn.

[ToiletCrusher]

beef stroganoff. all fresh with sirloin.

coliflower with a whole lemon squeezed and cut up, fresh rosemary, fresh garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.

[ANC]

Pork Chops.. Not sure how I'm cooking them yet though...

[ToiletCrusher]

Pork Chops.. Not sure how I'm cooking them yet though...

you should use some garlic vinegar, ginger, corriander, white wine and some oil to make a killer marinade. let sit for 30min - 1hr and then if you can grill, if not pan sear with scallions and butter. pour your remaining marinade and make a roux to serve over top the pork on white rice.

I just put tilapia in the oven with tomatoes and black olives that have already been fried up with garlic in a frying pan. There is a grocery store in Brooklyn, Provisions, that has the best tilapia. I had never heard of it before I started shopping there. It's very nice white fish.

[ANC]

mushrooms are a good choice too.

I ended up making a marinade of scallion, garlic, soy, toasted sesame seed oil, red and black pepper, sesame seeds and a little honey. Marinaded the chops for an hour and cooked them up in the cast iron pan. Fuckin' fantastic!

ive had a really messed up schedule lately with working nights so i just had my "dinner". i marinated a pork tenderloin in some olive oil, juice from one orange, chopped garlic, and fresh oregano. i cooked that in a cast iron skillet and when finished sliced it thin and made cuban sandwiches out of it. very tasty.

Manicotti.
The wife started making the sauce at 9:30. The whole house smelled great all day. Then she came back from shopping, made the filling, stuffed the pasta, added the cheese and sauce and went to work. I just have to keep it in the oven for 45 minutes, then serve.

Fucking starving!

I've got a chicken with a beer can stuffed up its ass on the grill with some pear wood smoking. (2 bay leaves and some rosemary and 1/2 the beer steaming in the can, Olive oil, s&p rubbed inside and out of the chicken). It should be ready in about an hour.
Going to have it with yellow rice and maybe a little hot sauce.

We have leftover brownies and cookies from our family pre-Christmas-Christmas get-together on Sunday, so dessert was taken care of.

Tonight's dinner featured a large salad (arugula, romaine, carrots, sun-dried tomatoes and green & red peppers) and lasagna (recipe's on the back of the Barilla no-boil lasagna noodle box) with peppermint cheesecake brownies for dessert because we hosted my family for a pre-Christmas-Christmas get-together. Everyone loves my Barilla lasagna.

We also had a lovely pitcher of hibiscus sangria from a recipe I found online. Yum! And very festive!

Tonight I had cajun chicken alfredo with fusilli.

Wife is making Chicken Devan ( or is it Deeeeeeeeeeee-van like Paula Dean says ) tonight.

Great stuff.

Went to a little BBQ place in Westport CT yesterday afternoon.

Just had appetizers :

Bleu Balls ( bleu cheese rolled in bacon & then deep fried ) - not too good/bleu cheese too strong

Cheese Fries - nothing special, not enough cheese and what cheese it did have was lumped on just the top fries

BBQ Nachos ( nachos covered w/ pulled pork, cheese, etc ... ) - very good, pulled pork gave it a nice texture

They're kind of similar to pinto beans, but a bit more earthy in taste. I hear they're great cooked with ham hocks, but I usually just eat them plain or slightly seasoned.

[Thebazile78]

Tonight was "refrigerator velcro" quesadillas featuring leftover pork chops, steak and potatoes ... which we supplemented with a bit of shredded rotisserie chicken and (no joke) orange chicken from the takeout Chinese food place. (No joke; we were inspired by our recent dinner out at Chino Bandido (http://www.chinobandido.com/).)

Matt's parents were impressed by the ease and efficiency with which we prepared the meal, and both commented on how delicious they thought the quesadillas were.

This is after a week spent sampling some of the more offbeat restaurants that the Phoenix-metro has to offer, including some of our tried-and-true favorites.

Last night we had Chicken Adobo (recipe from Mark Bittman) and rice, tonight we had ribeyes.

Mark Bittman's Chicken Adobo
1 C soy sauce
½ C white or rice vinegar
1 C water
1 T chopped garlic
2 bay leaves
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 whole (3 - 4 pounds) chicken, cut up, trimmed of excess fat, then rinsed and patted dry with paper towels, or use 2 pounds bone-in thighs

1. Combine the first six ingredients in a covered pot large enough to hold the chicken in one layer. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken pieces, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for about 30 minutes, turning once or twice. (You may prepare the chicken in advance up to this point; refrigerate the chicken, in the liquid, for up to a day before proceeding.)
2. Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler. The fire need not be too hot, but place the rack just 3 or 4 inches from the heat source. (We did the broiler)
3. Remove the chicken and dry it gently with paper towels. Boil the sauce over high heat until it is reduced to about 1 cup; discard bay leaves and keep the sauce warm. Meanwhile, grill or broil the chicken until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Serve the chicken with the sauce and white rice.

Chicken Alfredo Portobello Gourmet Skillet Meal

[joethebartender]

I got a dutch oven for Christmas (not the one with the blanket)

beef bourguignon (minus the Burgundy...I only had some Pinot Noir in da house)
carrots, baby red potatos, pearl onions, chuck roast, mushrooms, a bottle of vino, orange peel, bay leafs, thyme, garlic, beef broth, a few cloves, peas, and some other stuff.

Floured and browned the meat in oil & butter, deglazed the pot with the vino and put everything except the veggies in and simmered for 2and a half hours. then vegs and potatos for a half hour at the end.

I was pissed because I didn't have any egg noodles or "real" bread so I toasted up a couple of those martin's potato rolls for hamburgers to sop up the gravy.

I just ate and I am fat, warm and happy. Wine and stew on a cold night...FTW!

Last night was slow-cooked barbecue pork chops with kraut, which 8 said was better than the ribs I usually make for him (the chops were less fatty and the entire dish less soupy than the ribs).

[Lady Resin]

Trying a new recipe tonight (http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/updated-chicken-chow-mein)

Yum Resin.

Tonight I am making a turkey and rice casserole but I have not entirely decided what to put in it.

I am thinking low fat/sodium cream of chicken, corn, cheese, bread crumbs, and maybe a touch of chopped spinach.

[ANC]

Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers...

For the stuffing I use crushed Corn Flakes, 1 egg, small can of tomates, garlic powder, salt, pepper. Fry em in the pan until the outside of the pepper skin starts to char slightly.

[ToiletCrusher]

I too will be using cornflakes. However, I am using mine crushed for...


Veal parmigiana.

I refuse to use breadcrumbs. I also made my own sauce from scratch for only the 6th time ever.

[Heather 8]

What does respect the bag mean?

...now I don't know whether to give the real answer or be Sarcastabitch. 2009 Matty takes some getting used to.

Actually, it's a reference to this place:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/brooklyns-brick-oven-pizzeria-hackensack

which puts its pizzas in large paper bags for takeout. Very good stuff... you know, for Jersey.

[joethebartender]

I got a little lit up during the Eagles/Cards game and decided to burn some charcoal and made a roast chicken (yes it's snowing).
I put a couple of potatos in foil with salt and baked them on the grate. When I took the chicken off I put 2 peeled and sliced apples with butter,brown sugar, and cinnamon in foil and put them on the grill. I am now eating one over a scoop of vanilla. :smile:

No, actually it was Bitchicunt.

No, actually it was Bitchicunt.

Ah. Did you hyphenate?

[Heather 8]

Hyphenation is for twats. I legally made it my middle name.

You know, I think we derailed this thread long enough.

Yesterday being more or less snowed in, I made spinach and artichoke bread with mozz and homemade dough. Then Eggplant Parmesan..

[Heather 8]

Yesterday was something called a German Dinner, which was sauerkraut, ground beef, grated green peppers, celery, and V-8 juice in a slow cooker. 8 loved it, I thought it was lacking.

Tonight will be Hot Peppered Pork Sandwiches.

Probably. That's just what the recipe book called it.

[Heather 8]

Tonight was Old World chicken and vegetables, served with whole wheat "egg" noodles.

OMFG, I'm speechless. Lou painstakingly made from scratch Arroz con Pollo. I should have taken a picture but I was too selfish to wait.


Lou's taken over the kitchen these past few weeks and I'm certainly not complaining!

[drusilla]

kung pow chicken with string beans, onions, yellow bell pepper & sugar snap peas, all over white rice. good stuff.

[joethebartender]

cavatelli and meatballs. I made the meatballs and tomato sauce the cav was frozen.

[Thebazile78]

Last night was takeout meatloaf from Wegman's. (Yum. And it's also easy to make.)

Tonight's plan is chorizo quesadillas, but that may depend on how Matty feels when he gets home from work.

Tomorrow is probably going to be frozen pizza and Sunday is up in the air, as we may be having company.

[Heather 8]

Tonight will be pork & beef chow mein. If it fails like last Friday's dinner, it'll be Irene's again.

[KatPw]

I make about 4 pounds of meatloaf on Wednesday, so we are on night 3 of that (onion, green bell pepper, homemade breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce split into 2 loaves). Tonight we will have it with some leftover coleslaw, squash, and baked potato.

Shake and Bake chicken tenderloins, caesar salad, and a glass of milk. Got brownies in the oven too. Nice.

[Heather 8]

My 6-year-old niece wanted to go to Friendly's for her birthday. I had vegetable fajita quesadillas (that, while OK, didn't taste very Mexicany and in fact tasted strongly of A-1 sauce) with Spanish rice (which didn't taste remotely Spanish... it was rice in chicken broth with carrots, for cryin' out loud).

[Tenbatsuzen]

Crockpot beef stew with crusty bread, a bottle of Stugots Wine, and some carrot cake for desert.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I really need to learn not to cook on Fridays.



I'm still getting the cheese out of my hair from the last time.

[EffMeBoobs]

The hubby made penne alla vodka from scratch. Hands down the best I've ever had. Paired nicely with freshly grated parmesan cheese and crusty bread. Set up our dining room table with a fancy tablecloth and napkins; it was a nice dinner.

[IamFogHat]

Three cheese pasta with chicken.

[Thebazile78]

Tonight's plan is turkey meatloaf, unless we still have leftover stew. In which case, we'll be having leftover stew.

[Thebazile78]

Last night ended up being leftover stew because I was tired and Matty was sick.

Tonight was turkey meatloaf.

Tomorrow will probably be steak and potatoes.

Thursday might be slow-cooker pulled pork before the 2lbs of pork loin I bought goes bad. I don't quite know yet.

[boosterp]

Well, that was good, simple, and fast.

Tomorrow I may do a pot of beans or I may make chicken spaghetti with homemade sauce.

[Friday]

[Heather 8]

Last night was leftover lasagna.

Tonight will be a new recipe I'm trying for Chinese ribs:

3 to 4 lbs pork ribs
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup orange marmalade or apricot preserves (I opted for apricot)
1 Tbsp ketchup
1 (or more) garlic clove, crushed

Mix soy sauce, marmalade or preserves, ketchup and cloves. Brush sauce on ribs and place in slow cooker. Pour remaining sauce over ribs and cook on low 10 to 12 hours.

[Hottub]

Certainly not liver!!

I'll probably have to shovel when I get home, so I'll just make hot dogs and beans.

[FunkyDrummer]

My chick is giving me a birthday dinner surprise.
