What's For Dinner? - 2022

[muffy]

My post is going to seem dull, after those "cute" dinner time cat tales, but I can't help it if I have a well behaved cat.
(yes I remember that Ruby won the naughty cat pic of the month. )

But about my dinner, LOL, last night I made mushroom fried rice. It makes 2 servings, so having the rest tonight.

That looks delicious.

One time I was eating my dinner in front of my computer and Tommy jumped up on the desk and he walked across the screen and he stepped into my bowl of tomato soup. I was pissed because it was very painfull for me to have to go up and down the steps to get something to eat.

Last night I had taco salad (lettuce, cheese and some chips), corn and bean salad and some watermelon for dessert. It would be nice to have fresh fruit for dessert instead of cookies, tasteless cakes, jello and canned fruit.

That looks so good! Did you post the recipe? Is that eggs on top?

I don't really use a recipe, so haven't posted it. Yes, eggs on top.

Here's my "recipe":
Chop up onion and mushrooms, then sauté till cooked till softened. Crack egg into cup, and lightly beat with fork. Push veggies to side of pan, and scramble egg on other side. Add cooked rice (I use one of these Minute Rice® Basmati Rice Cups , 250 g | Walmart Canada) Mix to combine. Mix in 1 cup of frozen peas, and heat until peas are hot. Remove from heat, stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Makes 2 servings.

corn and bean salad

What is that? Never heard of it. What else is in it?

Chop up onion and mushrooms, then sauté till cooked till softened.

Thanks. Saute in olive oil? What temp, medium?

Thanks. Saute in olive oil? What temp, medium?

Yes, a drizzle of olive oil. (I'll also add a little cold water, if veggies start sticking to bottom of pan) And, I guess, medium heat, though I'll put it on higher to start, then turn it down (hopefully) before the veggies start to burn. A seasoned chef, I'm not.

I just mixed up some jerk seasoning: minced dried onions, dried thyme, allspice, cinnamon, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper. Will brush thick, boneless pork chops with oil, then dust with seasoning. Brown in oil. Set aside. Saute diced onion and cut red and yellow peppers. Return chops to pan, add bouillon, fresh lime juice, honey. Simmer until chops are done.

Serve with rice and red beans, combined.

At least that's the plan.

Peanut soba noodle salad with tofu.

I didn't have enough soba noodles so I mixed in some udon noodles as well. J only wanted to eat the peas for starters. Not the pod, I had to pull the peas out of it for her. Then she ate the noodles and a bit of carrots. Didn't love the tofu tonight.

It ended up as red beans, corn, and rice. Lunch tomorrow could be beans, corn, flipped egg.​

We had lasagna made with gluten free penne instead of lasagna noodles. It was pretty good! Cool idea to make it with different pastas.

I had some pretzels before dinner because I was starving then didn't have too much of an appetite. So I just made a large sweet potato and diced up an avocado on the side. Coffee ice cream and strawberries, (eaten separately), for dessert.

Lunch was mac and cheese with hamburger. Dinner will be a cheeseburger with onions and mayonnaise...IF the burger patty thaws out in time. If it does not, dinner will be something from the pile in the freezer, and I'll do the cheeseburger tomorrow night.

.

It had black beans, corn, green preppers, onions, in some kind of sauce. It was pretty good.

For dinner I had tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Do you have a “defrost ” option on your microwave? I use that pretty much every time to unthaw 1/4 lb patties.

pizza at this family run italian spot if gf feels ok with it

Falafel with broccoli and cauliflower for me. DH is going to make an individual thin crust pizza but asked if I'd cut up the peppers. Strawberries and honeycrisp apple for dessert.

Pasta and meatballs, not homemade but adequate

 

[susanm9006]

I stopped a a small non chain grocery this afternoon and they had some great quality produce. I got a perfectly ripe huge cantaloupe (the size of a personal watermelon), a beautifully yellow pineapple and a small firm cucumber at great prices. So dinner will be breaded shrimp from the freezer, cucumber salad and cantaloupe. Tomorrow I will cut up the pineapple and make the cream cheese dip to go with it.

Scrambled eggs with cottage cheese, baked potato, habanero hot wing sauce, piece of cornbread. Good, but the wing sauce was too vinegary.

Stir fried broccoli and tofu.
