What's for dinner? - 2017

[Winchester]

 No, sorry. I've tried different rices in the crock pot and wasn't pleased about any of the results. Mushy. 

Tonight is take-out pizza. We've been invited to dinner with some friends and she wants pizza.

Stir Fry.  I had the heel of that pork roast in the freezer.  I'm going to sliver it, combine with the bag of frozen stir-fry veggies that has been lurking in my freezer, and make a teriyaki sauce for it.  No rice, but I really don't need the extra carbs...especially since there is a half-gallon of Blue Bunny Chocolate Brownie ice cream sitting right next to the stir-fry veggies.

I make my rice in the instant pot. So easy, just add rice, water (I normally use broth instead), butter and salt. Close and press a button, when it beeps it's done.

Tonight we are ordering sushi and Chinese food.

I have been so tempted to get a rice cooker.

We are having a low-fat version of chicken cacciatore tonight. With garlic-parm yeast rolls.

I have a really basic one button rice cooker. Works great

I can put the steamer basket on top and reheat leftovers that way. You can get cookers with multiple buttons and features and sensors and fancy stuff but those are way too unecessary IMO.

I have no idea what's for dinner tonight. I'm going to Mom's house and she never plans out dinner. It's usually a frozen piece of meat she takes out of the freezer like an hour before dinner and ends up defrosting in the microwave 

Mom's recipe repertorie is extrememly limited so dinner will most likely be another boring sitr fry that is way too heavy on the soy sauce

Having a huge salad for supper with either a hard boiled egg, a piece of thawed cooked chicken, and/or some kidney beans... need protein.

turkey enchiladas, a handful of mini pretzels, and 2 or 3 vanilla sandwich cookies.

Tuna salad.  Just not in the mood to cook tonight.

We had Pizza for dinner tonight.

 

[micknsnicks2mom]

tonight will be turkey enchiladas, a handful of mini pretzels, and a carob brownie with walnuts.

 

[Winchester]

Barbecued chicken pizza with red onion, mariachi peppers, smoked provolone and shredded Jack. I just put the dough together and it's rising. I'll have enough for three dough balls; two will go into the freezer and we'll have pizza tonight.

I think it's going to be pizza here too. :nod:

 

[Mamanyt1953]

A baked chicken breast with...something!

OH...someone asked about my garlic parm sauce.  It is VERY simple.  I mince the garlic VERY finely, and sweat over low heat it in butter (you could use olive oil, but go with the extra virgin for this).  When it is just transparent, I remove it from the heat, whisk in grated parmesan and toss it with the veggies.  I can't begin to tell you the measurements, I just go with what feels right at the moment!

That sounds delicious!

I'm on my own tonight and will probably pick up a wrap or salad for myself.

My boss was wild pig hunting down south last week. He got two boars. He brought in a ton of sausage for us (he's wonderful about sharing when he hunts). I took some sweet Italian links and some bulk sausage. He always asks me what I'm going to make with my sausage.

This time around, I'm using the bulk sausage in a Cook's Country recipe that's a combination of frittata and popover with sausage, onion, and potatoes. Should be good! I'll slice the Italian links on Saturday and use them in a pizza. He always has really good sausage.
