What's For Dinner? - 2024

[Mamanyt1953]

Lunch will be waffles. Dinner will be a frozen something called "Grandma's chicken and veggie bake." Stouffer's makes it, and it is quite tasty! Chicken, rice, veggies in a very nice sauce. Casserole, actually. Of course, being mass-produced, it needs salt and pepper, but EVERYTHING needs at least pepper, in my world. Even my own cooking, when I'm cooking for more than just me!

A friend brought over 3 home grown tomatoes!! I have not had a home garden tomato in years! I really miss them.
Last night was just one sliced tomato, baby fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, EVOO, and a tiny sprinkle of good balsamic vinegar. It was so good. I drank the juice! Delish.

Will have that again today, adding a bit of romaine lettuce and a tiny pita bread or two.

The other meal today will just be hummus with some carrots, and an iced green tea.

Busy day, so lunch with be my supper, with supper being a quick snack...

artiemom Yay for tomatoes! We've had three so far this summer from the garden. Something is getting into them, even with the fence.

My BIL gave Rick some homemade sausage and he's going to grill tonight. I really have to start being more careful; this week has not been a good week food-wise. I guess grilled hot sausage sandwiches are on the menu.

Harry asked to have egg sandwiches for dinner.I will fix them for him,with cheese.I may heat up a couple of the leftover latkes and have sour cream and applesauce to go with them.

My last one which was my first was 10 years ago and fortunately had no polyps. I was told to come back in 10 years and I'm hoping for the same results. I feel it's a necessary test/procedure for preventive care but not looking forward to it either. Were you able to follow the prep diet? That's the worst part for me.

The prep is terrible it has been more then 10 since I had my last. I opted to do the fit test every year instead. There was no issue on the one I had and I have no family history .

Blue catfish with a okra, chick pea and tomato stew

Frozen chicken taquitos and mini-tacos heated in the air fryer. Stubbs barbecue sauce in a little dish for dipping.

Corn on the cob in microwave as rubysmama recommended. I was doing 3 ears, which got jammed up as turntable plate rotated. Eight minutes not quite enough so I cut kernels off the cobs, put in a mixing bowl with butter and salt, added 30 seconds, stirred around and another 30 seconds. Good enough.

And mashed up a perfectly ripe avocado with juice from one small lime.

And that all added up to a very nice dinner.

Corn cobs cut in chunks. I could, I suppose, use them to make corn cob stock. But think instead, that at dusk they will go out for the raccoons.

Yesterday was a nice salad with a little chicken, romaine lettuce, baby Persian cucumbers fresh mozzarella pearls and Garden tomato!! EVOO and a splash of balsamic vinegar completed it.. So good.

Today, I have the last garden tomato. It will be the same as above, but I will add some fresh basil, from in indoor basil plant.. Man so good

I was told that I may get some more tomatoes!! fingers crossed.

I made 12
manicotti,will freeze 3 bags of 3 each plus have one for tonight,Im sure I'll eat two and I always like a leftover

Made a big tray of eggplant parmigiana( that's what took the most time ,frying 6 eggplants) - I froze 3 portions (ea portion serve 2 people each at least)

Had skirt steak which I did a pizziola( froze 4 individual portions). Cooked 2 packs talian sausages. And made a pot of pasta fagioli with pork neck bones( froze 4 -1qt portions)

So,it was mostly Italian morning but I stuffed a whole chicken ,surrounded it with cut up red potatoes, baby carrots & onion and baked it - yummy! Now I needn't cook for days with a frig and freezer full of ready made foods

My husband will catch the next flight out to FL - what time is dinner? He absolutely loves Italian food.

I feel for you! I went through that last month!! It was a 2 day clean out prep--- not fun at all. I was so dehydrated!

It's over! My colonoscopy went well but I hear you on the prep diet. That was harder for me than drinking the prep solution. I couldn't wait to get home, eat my normal breakfast and will celebrate tonight with dessert. I'm thinking about pasta for dinner with fresh veggies added in and garlic rolls.

Made Beet Gazpacho this morning, will serve with Baguette and Manchego

You can save me a piece of the eggplant parmigiana you made earlier this morning.

 

[Mamanyt1953]

Let's see here...lunch will be taquitos. I'm feeling distinctly sour cream-ish. Dinner? Oh, pork patties with turnip greens/roots and hoppin john. Because I'm also feeling distinctly Texas Pete pepper sauce-ish, as well. LOL, the turnips make a great carrier for the sauce!

 

[Winchester]

Kwik Count me in with that manicotti, please!

Tonight's dinner was grilled spare ribs, succotash (corn and lima beans from the garden), and honey bun cake for dessert.

I made him 2 sandwiches last night,not knowing how hungry he was,and I even fried some bologna and put a slice on both of his.He ate one and said he'd have the other for breakfast,which turned into his dinner tonight.I had half a pork chop,2 latkes (I usually make a bunch as I don't make them often and we love the leftovers) and half a sliced tomato from the garden.So good!
