What's For Dinner? - 2019

[Kat0121]

For lunch I had the same veggie sandwich as yesterday, except I used sharp cheese. Tomato, Lettuce, Hardboiled Egg, Sunflower Seeds, Blue Cheese Dressing on toasted Rye Bread.

I've been thinking of getting some mushrooms to put on sandwiches, but somebody mentioned that mushrooms should be cooked, not eaten raw. Is that true? We used to serve raw mushrooms on the salad bar when I worked at Pizza Hut many years ago.

You can eat mushrooms raw if you want.

You can eat mushrooms raw if you want.

Yah... If you google "eat raw mushrooms" you'll get a variety of results.

Some folks say cook them to destroy a certain toxin and to break down the woody cellular structure to get to the nutrients.
Others say the toxin is degraded by chill and dry air, so most grocery mushrooms are likely safe enough raw (like on salads).
And there are other folks who say they just prefer their mushrooms cooked for the flavor.

So...

Yeah, I've eaten the regular white mushrooms from the grocery store raw on salads. Hopefully it's safe.

Grilled sausage patties,sharp cheddar omelets and potato bread toast is on the menu tonight.

Finally made my Lentil Loaf. So tonight was Lentil Loaf, broccoli and fries. And a clementine for dessert.

Do you put anything on it?

For dinner I had a frozen Sweet Earth vegetarian breakfast burrito. I didn't like it much, but that might be because I put taco sauce on it. It had scrambled eggs in it, so maybe I should have used ketchup. Or maybe eggs just don't freeze well. Anyway, if I get another one, I will try ketchup next time.

I ended up getting the sausage rice bowl. It was really good Picture from the cafe web site which obviously looks a lot better than the real life compostable bowl with everything jumbled up inside. I'll have to try the other rice bowls the next time this cafe returns. I think the pop up meal service has the cafes rotate once every 2 weeks or so.

Do you put anything on it?

Usually just ketchup. But now I'm thinking I need to find a recipe for a spicy tomato sauce, or something similar.

Vegetable barley soup and a small burrito

My neighbor took me to the grocery store and we stopped by the Cracker Barrel for dinner. I had a vegetable plate with broccoli, cole slaw, side salad, mac & cheese and fried apples.

We went out for pizza at a very good pizza place. I have to eat GF and they have one of the best in town! I had to shop for secret Santa and my husband was really low from his health issues. So pizza; voila

Double Cheeseburger and Onion rings from Swenson's, a drive-in restaurant that's been around this
area since the 30s, yum.

I know we just had pasta yesterday (baked spaghetti), but Rick is in the mood for tuna and noodles, so that will be our dinner tonight.

I've eaten the regular white mushrooms from the grocery store raw on salads. Hopefully it's safe.

I think it's more of a precaution for various reasons, e.g. some people have difficulty digesting raw mushrooms, cooking them helps break down the cell walls making them easier to digest and also helps release the nutrients, therefore, making them beneficial.
There's been a lot of discussion back and forth about this subject so basically 'be informed' and decide what's best for you.

Last night I had leftover veggie chili with spinach salad and tonight I'm planning to have lentil soup with salad. Trying to be good before the holidays, lol.

 

[AbbysMom]

I don't know. I'm cooking and making individual frozen meals for my mother for Christmas this year and I have one thing left to make - minestrone soup. I don't know if I'm going to make that today or tomorrow. Last night was chicken breast with green beans and baby potatoes. There is a slight chance we go out tonight for dinner. If not I may be making that soup today.

I ended up getting the sausage rice bowl.

That looks good, except I would want the spinach cooked.

Usually just ketchup.

I used to put ketchup on meatloaf, so I imagine it would be good on lentil loaf.

pizza place. I have to eat GF

Dominos has good gluten free pizza.

For lunch I had my usual veggie sandwich. This is totally weird, but I threw a handful of granola on it. It was way too crunchy, it hurt my teeth. Oh well, I'll try anything on a sandwich once. I'm always looking for fun ideas. I want to get some radishes next.

I was supposed to have pizza tonight while watching Christmas movies with a friend, but she bailed on me, too cold. I'll give her a pass. It is chilly (NC chilly, not Wisconsin chilly), and she has an ankle that's mostly metal, and the cold makes it ache, so...I guess now, whatever I scrounge, whenever I get hungry. Maybe PBJ for me, too!

 

[rubysmama]

I had another slice of my lentil loaf. This time with a salad. And a kiwi for dessert.
The rest of the lentil loaf has been sliced and put in the freezer for future meals.

 

[lizzie]

I think we're going to have hotdogs,baked beans,and sauerkraut.

I am having Amy's black bean soup and a Swiss cheese
sandwich on whole grain bread with vegan mayo.
