What Are You Having For Dinner

[Peanut]

I fried up a batch of wings tonight. I had fresh celery and blue cheese dressing in the fridge, it had to be wings.

It's been years since I had blue cheese with wings, it's the way I learned to eat them in Buffalo NY. They always came with blue cheese, restaurants, takeout etc. Pretty good that way if you like some funk with your cheese.

Hamburger steaks (but with ground chicken), gravy, mashed potatoes, cornbread, carrots!

Snow day calls for chili and cornbread.

Didn’t have the greatest day at work so we popped open a can of Stagg Chili and put it on hot dogs. Not my favorite meal but it’ll do. Y’all eat like kings and queens. Will check on raw veggies in a bit.

Patchouli,
We had hamburger steaks with sliced onions, cheddar cheese, tomatoes dill and sweet pickles.
It is pretty good eating but not a royal feast. We po'r folks gotta stick together.

Funny, bought meat for chili today. The snow isn't getting here until tomorrow night.

I stopped in town for slice pork from the bbq joint. Had a sandwich for dinner.

 

[Acdoctor]

Pizza for me as well, just didn’t want much tonight.

 

[LadyLocust]

I roasted a chicken which was delish! Hubby doesn't care for chicken so I made him chicken fried steak - you know, because I'm warped like that.

 

[Tacitus]

Homemade nacho plate (chips, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, salsa).

Post dinner: A Spanish wine and Trader Joe's Almond Butter filled Pretzel Nuggets (will be buying these again), and Netflix.

Crazy Friday Night!!

 

[Amish Heart]

Hot turkey sandwich, green salad, cole slaw, canteloupe and strawberries

I cooked up some pork tenderloins tonight. Those come out so moist and tender. No knife needed - just cut them by pressing lightly with your fork. Added some BBQ sauce. As sides, went with our "standard" when we can't figure out which sides we would want - we have salad and mashed potatoes. We never tire of good salads, and mashed potatoes just go with anything. I wanted corn, but the wife didn't, so the "well, there's always mashed potatoes" fallback won today.

Chili and hot tamles

 

[hashbrown]

We did stuffed chicken breasts with cornbread dressing, huge loaded baked potatoes and garlic toast.

 

[Pearl]

Leftover burritos!!

Leftover burritos!!

Same, similar, variation. Made it very simple this time. No lettuce, salsa, tomato or olive. Yes on guacamole, seasoned beef, corn chips, grated cheese, sour cream...and refried beans

 

[SheepDog]

Pork sirloin steaks and eggs with steamed spinach.

 

[Peanut]

Had rice in the fridge I needed to use so I made simple fried rice then steamed some pot stickers and made a sauce. Thinking of making chili later tonight.

 

[backlash]

Marinated Tri Tip steaks and corn.
Baked potatoes with all the fixins for those that can eat them.
I'll skip the taters. Too many carbs.
I just put the steaks on the pellet grill.

@Peanut what is that lovely sauce?

 

[Amish Heart]

Dinner at my cousin's place and we had a houseful. A few of her adult grandkids came that we haven't seen in awhile, along with us regulars. Then an amish minister and his wife stopped in that no one was expecting. We had meatloaf, chicken veggie casserole, bread rolls with honey butter, I brought a salad and green beans. Dessert was peanut butter pie and strawberry pie.

@Peanut what is that lovely sauce?

A basic asian sauce for dipping pot stickers, egg rolls. I like it hot, most often use hot mustard, soy sauce and a tad of fresh ginger root. I change it up, might use korean garlic sauce or fresh hot peppers for heat. Sometimes I add hosin sauce. If my egg rolls are shrimp I might add oyster or fish sauce to my dip.

At a restaurant I'll ask for a small empty bowl sometimes. I'll mix up soy and hot mustard, make my own dip right at the table. Actually thats were I learned to use hot mustard and soy. A coworkers wife was from china, she showed me at a restaurant. She was an incredible cook also. Wish I'd been paying attention.

Most asian dipping sauces are hot or sweet. The sweet ones are okay sometimes like duck sauce. But duck sauce has chili powder in it, go figure.

Check the dip and sauce section of an asian cookbook, they aren't complicated. They are either hot or sweet, usually have soy sauce in them.

 

[Patchouli]

Yes, @Peanut I enjoy tamari, tahini, and ginger together as a dipping sauce. As a sauce over fish while broiling...the squeeze of a lime, ginger, honey, sesame seeds, tamari, butter.

I am not eating fancy.
I am eating out of my pantry, freezers, refrig.
Lots of people buy huge qaunities of tuna, but I don't particularly like tuna.
But I buy canned shrimp,clams,etc.
Just use substitues.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Chicken, peas,carrots,leeks, noodles soup.
Using up little dibs and dabs of leftovers thrown in crock pot .

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

Sticky caramelized chicken wings and sea weed salad

 

[dademoss]

Still thinking, but it's feeling kinda like fried spam on toast, if I can get that motivated. Otherwise I will irradiate a mettwurst till it's cooked

 

[SheepDog]

Home made mac and cheese with sausage patties.

 

[Bacpacker]

Biscuits and gravy. Bacon of course.

Speaking of which, all you folks that make your own biscuits, are you having trouble getting them to rise? Last 2 times wife has made them they are just flat and crumbly, no rise, no fluffy centers. My mom is experiencing the same thing the last 2-3 years. Even different flour brands doing the same thing
