What Are You Having For Dinner

[snappy1]

Tonight will be homemade turkey pot pie that I had frozen. Cleaning out the freezer.

 

[Tacitus]

Pigs in blankets...our usual Halloween dinner.

Sent a picture of the meal to our grown-up, moved-away kids, to let them know what they were missing.

 

[Amish Heart]

Made a pot of chili and some cornbread

 

[Heartbroken]

A bit of an adventure. Found some sausage in the freezer, sliced it up and put it in a fry pan. Added diced up onion and then pulled out the bags of cherry tomatoes and peppers I picked when I cleared out the garden. Added tomatoes to the pan, then started on the peppers. Did a few green ones, a couple of red ones, and then came across a small, wrinkly pinkish yellowish one. Started chopping it then thought I'd try a piece. OHMYGOODNESSIMONFIRE!!!! Just the tiniest piece caused a nuclear reaction, burned my tongue, melted my teeth, made my nose run, my eyes cry, and the top of my head blow off. If I hadn't been barefoot I'm sure it would have knocked my socks off.
I didn't really do much with the garden this year and had massive die-offs of my seedlings so I completely lost track, but I'm pretty sure I didn't plant nuclear peppers. There were sweet peppers and cayenne peppers and a couple of jalapenos, but where this one came from, I don't know.
Needless to say that pepper didn't get added to the pan. As it was I may have overdone it with the cayennes a little bit, but I generally like spicy food. Though maybe that was the leftover spicy from the mystery pepper. My tongue still feels like I drank hot chocolate too soon.
I would have enjoyed watching my Husband try that pepper. He always liked the really spicy stuff.

Fried up a batch of wings and had some field peas. Got to try the pepper sauce I made in sept on my peas. I thought I'd made it to hot but it was just right with food. It's plain, just a garlic clove.

Granny burgers and pepper wedges.

I made this last night, and it turned out pretty well, although, I would recommend using two pounds of ground beef. She doesn't give the best of instructions. At the 2:30 mark she adds "just a little bit of this". I have no clue. Maybe that is the dehydrated onions she mentions earlier. I didn't add anything there. She also doesn't say how much sour cream she uses, nor does she add it anywhere in the video. I used four ounces, and added it after the cream of chicken soup. I will make it again. I liked it but my wife didn't have any last night, and she is the one who requested a tater tot casserole.

Those kind of casseroles are always good. I make mine different everytime. I'm one of those "wing it" cooks!

fried taters/onions...spinach...pintos...cornbread

 

[Amish Heart]

Beef burritos

 

[Bacpacker]

Pork burritos

 

[Tacitus]

• My wife's Spaghetti Bolognese
• Italian salad (she imitates a great local restaurant salad)
• Naan bread (dipped into olive oil on a plate, with Italian herbs ground up onto the surface of the oil)
• Italian red wine

She thinks this is an easy meal. "Tonight, I thought we would just have spaghetti," she said.

"Never say 'just" in front of 'spaghetti," I said, while I selected the wine.

More than I deserve on a Tuesday night.

Leftover beef and bean burritos! Guess it's burrito night! Tactics had the best dinner!!

 

[zannej]

I had shepherd's pie but while I was microwaving the mashed potatoes there was a pop and the microwave shut off. I had to move the potatoes to the pan and cook them before mixing the rest of the stuff in (spent at least 10min trying to remove microwave's plug from the outlet extender). Almost burned the potatoes. But it came out ok.

 

[dademoss]

did you let the magic smoke out?

 

[Magpie]

Last night was chicken and ham pie from the leftover meat from the night before- love a pie. Tonight I think some goujons and stir fry. Planning some slow cooker meatballs for tomorrow.

 

[snappy1]

Enchilada casserole. Cleaning out freezer again!

 

[Wingnut]

Beef fajita mix enhanced with veggies, including hot peppers from my garden, there are still a few left, lol. Bought the fajita mix at a good price the other day, now it's time to cook it up and eat it, 10-4? I have a couple of Albuquerque flour tortillas left in the fridge, so I'll probably use those to wrap the fajita mix, kinda like a burrito. Works for me! We're not high maintenance here: as long as the food doesn't give us botulism or salmonella, we're good to go, LOL. Oh, yeah, it has to be TASTY too, that's our only requirement!

 

[haulitdragit]

left overs from yesterday...i was thinking it was spinach yesterday...it was turnip greens...my fav!

 

[Bacpacker]

Egg roll in a bowl

 

[goshengirl]

Hubby's birthday, so I made pork chops. (He grew up on a pig farm, so pork is a favorite.)

Y'all, breaded pork chops in the air fryer are amazing! I used to struggle with having chops dry out, but cooking them in the air fryer is like magic - so juicy. Highly recommend.

 

[Tacitus]

Remainder of the pigs-in-blankets from Halloween.

I'm the leftover king in the family. I hate to throw away any food at all.

My favorite nights are when there are enough leftovers in the fridge for everyone in the family to have a meal, and I tell them, "I'm not cooking tonight. Pick which leftovers you want and fend for yourselves!"

 

[Shawn Burkett]

Pork stew with a bit of everything in it. That's what I had for breakfast this a.m. too.

 

[Magus]

What's a Granny burger? Splain!!

Burger, pickles mustard/mayo no veggies but the pickles. kind of like a full sized Krystal.

Dinner tonight was Beefaroni and creamed corn. I'm using up all my old chow stash, so I'm going to have an interesting diet this month! looks like lots of canned fruits, bean dip, chili and tomato soup. looks like its bean burrito time! everything on the menu is about to be or already out of date OR has spots of rust. anything too janky goes to the cats/coons/possums.

Remember, acidy tomato products are bad for gout!!

Tonight looks like chili mac and fruit cocktails.
Might make burritos, dunno.

 

[Magus]

New recipe, literally fresh off the grill:
Drain a can of tropical fruit cocktail and caramelize in butter.
Shred leftover rotisserie chicken into the mix and let simmer 5 minutes.
Serve in a burrito shell.
