What Are You Having For Dinner

[Sparky_D]

After today, Mrs. Sparky and I didn't feel like cooking, so we just did cold cereal.
I'd have skipped dinner completely except I need to take my new meds with food.

@Sparky_D what kind of cereal? What, no photo? lol
Your meals always look so yummy!
I need to fast, for weight loss, for one.

Crock pot chili

 

[Patchouli]

I've never done crockpot chili, Mo.
Thinking about crockpot chicken something.

 

[Amish Heart]

Crockpot chili is an easy thing. We had it last night for dinner, and finished the leftovers for lunch today.
Tonight is pork cutlets, roasted brussel sprouts, cauliflower with cheese sauce, green salad, and cantaloupe. Chocolate pudding for dessert.

Wife made chicken cattactourie.
Had Ham and Gryeure sandwiches for lunch

I made a small pot of chili tonight. I saw Alton Brown use a jar of salsa when making chili on tv. I like it this way. Salsa has most of the same ingredients and spices as chili. I add about a half can of tomatoes to the salsa then dump that into my chili. I add fresh garlic, an onion and meat. Takes about a half hour to make, not bad for quick chili. Yummy!

 

[Bacpacker]

We gotta try that. Wish wife had me some salsa this year.

Here is the episode of "Good Eats" where AB uses salsa. I don't make it exactly like he does. It varies depending on what I have in the house at the time. I like fresh ingredients, jalapenos and garlic for instance. Chili is pretty forgiving anyway unless you're in the chili cook-off championship.

That looks so good! Now I am thinking I need to make this. I haven't had a pot roast in too long!
One of my all time favorite meals. My grandmother on the ranch made the best roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy. Such a good meal!

It's one of my all time favorites! We found roasts on sale for $2.79 per pound, I bought 8 of them it was the cheapest I had seen roast in along time.

That is how I shop. If and when I see a a good deal, I stock up.
I was thinking that beef was predicted to be almost unaffordable now.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

That does look good Hashbrown,
Slow roast in the oven?
Nice to see you.
Instead of meatloaf, made taco salad.
It was okay, not great, but okay.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Leftovers:
Taco salad meat sauteed with mini sweet peppers colors of red, yellow, orange, diced red onions, 1/3 cup diced celery,diced tomatoes,cheesey hashbrown casserole, brocolli.

We were to tired too cook a big dinner tonight, I had my favorite sandwich peppered chicken loaf with jalapeno cheese and Dukes mayonnaise.

 

[Patchouli]

We had the tuna salad recipe that Mr.Meer posted for dinner tonight. See it on his recipes any ideas thread. Very tasty. We used lemon, I think I'd prefer lime. We used dill since one of the people here doesn't care for cilantro. Used olive oil instead of sunflower. It was a little liquidy.
I had crackers with mine, Sociables.

 

[Meerkat]

Hot dogs,chili late lunch and popcorn for late evening snack or supper.
HashB now you have us wanting a roast too. Maybe cook one tomorrow.
Patch glad you tried out one of Mr.Meers recipes. Maybe next time it will be a little bettter, not so juicy.

 

[Amish Heart]

Hamburgers, baked acorn squash, and tater tots
Banana pudding later

Meer, it was perfect! I really enjoyed it because I am disgusted by mayonnaise these days.

Bacon cheese burgers (no bun) and a salad.

Last night we had lentils, wife fixes them with chopped veggies, onion, and garlic (I think she cooks everything with garlic ), it was very soothing and just after dark I was out like a light...

 

[Patchouli]

Late afternoon snack involved sushi. Dinner involves bacon-wrapped shrimp @WVDragonlady

Finally! The volunteer fire department down the road has a fish dinner once a month to raise funds. They only have it during the warm months of the year...

Because of covid they haven't had one all summer. My parents love to go in person as a great many elderly people go. The fire hall still isn't open, it was curb service only.

I went down and got mom and dad a nice fish dinner and one for myself. It's not a bad dinner for $10, 4 catfish fillets, fries, baked beans, coleslaw, hush puppies and a piece of cake. I usually make 2 meals out of mine.

 

[Patchouli]

OH YUMMY, Peanut. Looks great. I never did hit the fire department shrimp feeds, brisket dinners, etc.
I had corn, refried beans, olives, lettuce and sour cream, ground beef for tacos, piled on top of corn chips.
A bit ago I had chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, don't do that much.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Large tenderloin sandwich, home fries, orange, coffee.
Tenderloin large enough, I cut it in fourths and ate on it for 4 days.
