What's For Dinner? - 2019

SO...just as I was ready to go make my hot dogs, Danielle came in with a plate of chicken and white sauce lasagna, FULL of broccoli and carrots. YUM! Hot dogs tonight.

i'll have no beans chili over a (microwaved) baked potato. a slice of carob (layer) cake with raspberry buttercream for dessert.

SO here's my question...is no-beans chili really chili, or is it sloppy joe with a good PR team?

Tomorrow I'm going to bake an apple spice cake with caramel frosting. That just sounds so "FALL" to me.

We stopped at an Italian restaurant today for lunch and I had cheese ravioli and I brought home a thin crust pizza with extra cheese, olives and onions for dinner.

that sounds like it would be really tasty, apple spice cake with caramel frosting!


i'll have more no beans chili over a baked potato. a 'brookie bar' for dessert -- bottom layer of it is carob brownie and the top layer is carob chip cookie.

Got a hankerin' for cowboy fare tonight, beef & beans to be specific... this is "comfort food" for me, in the sense that I always make this dish when I go camping. Sometimes I use steak, sometimes I use stew meat, sometimes I use ground beef, doesn't really matter when it's cooked right. Tonight, I'm going to sacrifice a couple of hamburger patties, add some bits of onion & celery sauteed with the beef, then dump in a large can of Bush's Baked Beans, my choice for baked beans since there are quite a few flavor options. Let it all simmer for awhile and eat it with buttered French bread on the side... fills me up every time. I never fail to make this dish when camping under a million stars, it just tastes 'right' by a campfire, LOL. Is there such a thing as "spiritually correct" food? Beef & beans by a campfire... a no-brainer for aficionados of the Old West. The phrase "politically correct" originated in the Communist Party, but my "spiritually correct" number has no ties to stinking politics, LOL, and good riddance.

muffy Do you like pickled red beet eggs or the pickled eggs without red beets? I love pickled red beet eggs and will make them once or twice a year, usually around Easter, and then once during the summer for our large family picnic. I've never had regular pickled eggs, only the red beet ones. The pickled onions are just onions cooked five minutes in the microwave in water, then drained. Add a bit of sugar and some red wine vinegar. Let set for about 20 minutes in the fridge. It's part of a Sara Moulton recipe. (I tend to break recipes apart sometimes and use the portions that I want for something.)

Tonight will probably be brats with just a salad

Leftovers tonight for sure!Don't have much time for anything else today

I like pickled red beets but not eggs. Thanks for the recipe for making pickled onions. They look easy enough to make.

 

[Furballsmom]

baked spaghetti squash since it's cold enough and snowy so that having the oven on is just right and some Aidells chicken meatballs in a jar sauce

 

[micknsnicks2mom]

meatloaf, a baked potato, and some buttercup squash with salt/pepper/butter. a brookie bar for dessert, sometime during the overnite.

Same here. I love pickled beets but a big no to the eggs.

 

[Kat0121]

This is way too big for us but I want some anyway

Popeyes’ Cajun-Style Turkeys are back just in time for Thanksgiving

Considering your screen name, it would be unnatural if you didn't get that hankerin' on occasion!

AND...continuing my quest to eat like a college kid, tonight is corn dogs with honey-mustard. And green beans, so I can fool myself into thinking that I'm acting like an adult.

I'm on my own for dinner, so I'm considering hummus with some fresh veggies. I really like hummus. Hummus, like guacamole, is a recent addition to my list of favorites. It's only been in the last few years that I've decided that I like guac and hummus. Good stuff!

I had so much hummus when I was vegan I can't stand the sight of it anymore. I never had guacamole but I am sure I would like it.

I never had hummus till I became vegetarian, and it took quite a few tries before found one I liked. And I've only had guacamole once, and wasn't impressed.

I love hummus. I used to make it for DD when she was away at college. I went up once a month to visit and take her grocery shopping. I would make foods she liked like chili and casseroles for her freezer. She loved the homemade hummus. I roasted the garlic and took the skins off the garbanzos before I added them to the food processor. Removing the skins is a bit time consuming but it gives you a creamier final product.
