What Are You Having For Dinner

[snappy1]

Big salad, a little split pea soup, a little leftover macaroni and cheese, jello, dark chocolate.

Leftover night, cleaned out the fridge. Pretty sure I recognized everything... But now I have a sink full of containers to wash...

 

[Bacpacker]

Smoked sausage and fried onions on a bun

 

[dademoss]

Mine was so boring. Yummy, but boring, a bratwurst and mac and cheese.

Sounds good to me.

Made big juicy cheeseburgers and seasoned fries! Pumpkin pie and ice cream for dessert?

 

[Amish Heart]

At a cousin's retirement celebration. Had pizza, onion rings, and beer. Went and got an ice cream cone afterwards at Braums since we were already in the bigger town.

 

[Pearl]

Popcorn, had a big late lunch!

 

[Amish Heart]

Made our own pizzas

Made a batch of wings tonight, had a salad.

I made potato soup in the pressure cooker. It was supposed to be 8 cups of water plus mix heated on a stove. But I poured in 4 cups of milk, 4 cups of hot water, whisked the mix in, then put it on Soup/Stew setting. When it was done I added butter, garlic salt, and some heavy cream (as it gets too thick without the extra cream). Makes for very creamy potato soup.

Last time I made it Mom had 4 bowls in one sitting.

Big salad and pumpkin bread with maple glaze. Sacrifices must be made! LOL

 

[Spikedriver]

Had an early breakfast of Special K protein enhanced cereal (20 g protein/bowl with milk) then for lunch had a 7 oz ham steak (30 g protein), 2 jumbo eggs (16g), 1 slice of 100% whole wheat toast with peanut butter (10g) and a short glass of milk (6g). Feels good to have my entire basic protein intake by noon. I'd like to get at least another 40g by bedtime. I'm thinking burgers, or possibly chili tonight...

 

[Bacpacker]

Tried something new this am. Sliced open a crossing, spread it with Nutella, then layered on some pear slices. Man that was good.

 

[Amish Heart]

Made a big pot of turkey chili and made some corn muffins. Everyone going every which way tonight for Halloween, so they can eat whenever.

 

[snappy1]

Big salad, grilled chicken, cauliflower rice and pumpkin bread.

 

[SheepDog]

Left overs... Stew and cornbread. I'll limit myself to stew I try to stay away from starch and sugar.

 

[Peanut]

Sliced port butt sandwich and a salad. Scuppernongs for dessert.

What is a Scuppernong?

@Pearl

Muscadines are native N. American wild red grapes.

Scuppernongs are native N. American wild white grapes.

Both are quite famous and prized here in the south. Can't hardly believe you haven't seen them before... They grow in TX.

Big salad night! Lettuce, broccoli, baby carrots, celery, bell pepper, tomato, onion, avocado, strips of extra sharp cheddar, and chicken breast strips. Ranch dressing!

 

[LadyLocust]

Hamburgers and artichokes. Hubby's burger had onions and bacon on it too.

 

[Weedygarden]

Chicken vegetable soup made from a roasted chicken carcass.

 

[dademoss]

It was a veritable feast, Mac and cheese with sliced hot dogs. I was too lazy for other dishes.

Just curious, what name do you call scuppernongs? Most have trouble with the pronunciation. The "G" is silent. "scupper" the slit cut in the side of a ship so water can drain off the decks. And non, like non-aggrestion pact. Scupper non 's.

Grapes, the " g" is not silent

forum seems wound up tight tonight.
I fixed chili, had an early dinner for a change. Rotel's green chiles and chipotle peppers, a first for me.
Piece of bread to chill it down. Fist pounding hot. Glad I only used half a can.
Found out I need to get more beans, lots more beans. Black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, small red beans. What are your favorites for chili? I only used kidney tonight, don't care for them so much. I have plenty of dry beans but prefer a can in a pinch.
