What's For Dinner? - 2020

[lizzie]

Tonight was hot dogs with onions and he had cheese on his...macaroni salad and I had a couple of small sliced plum tomatoes.

Since we went to a favorite Korean vegan restaurant for lunch we have plenty of leftovers for dinner tonight. The restaurant is owned by two brothers who are wonderful chefs. I ordered Chop Chae - steamed sweet potato noodles, three kinds of mushrooms and healthy veggies. My daughter had a type of stew - miso for the base with tons of veggies, tofu and dumplings.

Those look delicious. And much more appetizing than the pic of my dinner that I'm going to post. It's microwaved frozen macaroni with stewed tomatoes, green pepper, and veggie round which I'd made back in July. It tasted fine, even if it does look a bit like a "dog's breakfast" The garlic toast is frozen store bought that I heated up in the toaster oven.

Took the family out for once, something that is seldom done as of late. We went to a Boston Market store for rotisserie chicken and sides. At the time we were the only ones in the dining area, it was a pleasant experience and the food wasn't bad either.

Chop Chae

The only Korean restaurant in the area was named Chae's, because the owner/chef was a Korean woman named Chae. So when some of the dishes were named something like Chop Chae, I assumed it was her specialty, I didn't know that's actually the proper name . The restaurant is still running under a different name and with different cooks, but they got to keep her recipes so it's still pretty good. The veggie pancakes are amazing. And her kimchi recipe is the best I've had.

I just had microwave burritos with cheese sauce for dinner, feeling lazy.

Tonight is Dump and Bake Meatball Casserole

 

[Winchester]

Meatloaf in the FG, either with a pan of scalloped potatoes or simple mashed potatoes with gravy. And green beans on the side.

I feel like making one pot chicken with rice and Swiss Chard tonight.

Winchester I saw this recipe for an apple (cider) bundt cake. It might turn out better than those disappointing donuts. This Apple Cider Bundt Cake Is Essentially a Giant Doughnut There's no apple cider in the recipe, just applesauce.

leftover chicken. I think I will roast some cut up butternut squash with a potato, EVOO, S&P, perhaps some thyme or parsley, or herbs de provence, or nothing.... depending on how I feel.

I think it looks fab! I would eat it with you. I'll have to try stewed tomatoes. Were they from a can?

butternut squash with a potato, EVOO, S&P, perhaps some thyme or parsley, or herbs de provence

That sounds so good!

Breakfast: Dad & I finished up that Aldi honey bunches of oats knockoff cereal with 2% cow milk. Aldi substituted this cereal for one of my granolas a month ago. Too sweet!

Lunch: Veggie Stir-fry sammich on Great Value wheat bread toasted- celery, orange bell pepper, onion, cabbage, stir-fry sauce, habanero hot sauce, lentils, mixed baby greens, pepper jack cheese.

Dinner: Practiced making stir-fry again and it finally tasted good! Celery, cabbage, bell peppers, onion, stir-fry sauce, habanero hot sauce, Aldi vegetarian chickenless tenders, mixed baby greens, Aldi whole wheat sketti. I put the sauce on at the beginning instead of at the end when they usually tell you to. It made a huge difference, tasted so much better.

Big race day for me so I didn't cook much...boiled new potatoes(ours from the garden are almost gone..so sad),green beans from the garden and pecan smoked sausage from Aldis that is absolutely outstanding....Holmes Smokehouse from Texas.If you like that sort of thing and get a chance...delish!

The fire station had their Oktoberfest yesterday. We had something else last night and enjoyed our takeout tonight.

​

On the left: grilled weisswurst and bratwurst buried under sauerkraut, 3 potato pancakes in the center, then half of the half rack of barbecued spareribs. In the background the remaining sides from the order - applesauce, coleslaw, and some really nice mustard. The beers were ours. My potato pancakes are better but I'll never match their barbecue. Yummy!

Spinach lasagna with avocado on the side. When we went shopping last week avocado was on sale for a great price so I bought more than usual.

 

[klunick]

Tonight is breakfast for dinner. Haven't decided whether or not to try my waffle maker again or go for the usual pancakes in the skillet. Eggs, bacon, and toast to go with it.

 

[Winchester]

LTS3 Thanks! Turns out I had had that cake bookmarked! I'm going to try it. I need some applesauce. All that applesauce that I made last year and there's not a bit of applesauce in either freezer downstairs. That's the first time in forever that we have run out of sauce. (As I recall, Dear Richard said, "Oh, don't make so much this time; I'm not working and I won't be eating it as often." Wrong!)

Our meatloaf was good last night and there's enough left for one sandwich for each of us tonight. With a bit of cole slaw.

I think it looks fab! I would eat it with you. I'll have to try stewed tomatoes. Were they from a can?

Yes, canned. I love tomato based sauces, so always have several cans of tomatoes in the pantry.

Tonight I'm having Crockpot vegetarian baked beans.

 

[rubysmama]

I've posted the recipe for the baked beans, if anyone is interested: Recipes - Main Dishes And Entrees - Vegetarian/vegan

Yesterday I made homemade pizzas and cinnamon rolls. I haven’t played around with dough or baked in a while, so I enjoyed it. Everything turned out wonderful.

I noticed my pasta attachment for my Kitchenaid stand mixer in the cupboard yesterday. I haven’t made fresh pasta in a while so I will sometime this week.

It will be a chilly day today. I am making a beef stew for dinner tonight.

Meatloaf in the FG, either with a pan of scalloped potatoes or simple mashed potatoes with gravy. And green beans on the side.

I watched this video yesterday. I love Lidia. Now I want this meatloaf. I'd have it without the tomato sauce though.


I don't know what I'll have tonight. Last night I roasted a couple of chicken thighs. The girls and I shared them. I had steamed broccoli and cauliflower with it. I sprinkled some everything bagel seasoning on the veggies. It was good.

 

[neely]

Simple dinner tonight - lentil vegetable soup and I added rotini pasta to thicken it. Part of my dark chocolate w/espresso beans bar for dessert and a honeycrisp apple for dessert.

 

[lizzie]

Nothing fancy...we just had the leftovers from dinner last night,and I had a couple of sliced romas with mine.
