What Are You Having For Dinner

[Amish Heart]

Roast beef nachos with lots of stuff to put on them was last night. Have a good amout of roast left, so tonight might be roast and steamed veggies, not sure.

 

[Pearl]

Burrito bar round 2! Amish, we love making loaded nachos!! Whatever meat we might have leftover and all the fixin's, lots of cheese!

 

[Amish Heart]

And guac and sour cream

 

[Curmudgeon]

Soup beans and cornbread.

 

[Magus]

BBC burritos.
Hint: Rotelle diced tomatoes and peppers knock out two ingredients with one stone and save a ton of time, just add lettuce and sour creme!

A friend of mine butchered some Cornish Cross Chickens he raised he brought us 3 of them. You forget how much better a farm raised chicken is. Alexandra is already talking about me building her a brooder house.

Great idea Big Al!!

 

[Peanut]

A pork chop and a salad for dinner, nothing fancy. Family holiday gathering tomorrow. I'll eat good then.

 

[joel]

I waited an hour for a 20 oz. steak.
I went there on a whim, did not call a head, mistake, BIG MISTAKE!

 

[hashbrown]

Great idea Big Al!!

I’d build her whatever she wants.

 

[Wingnut]

HB, those pics are making me hungry, and I already ate, lol...

Alla youse talkin' about nachos... loaded nachos are a great way to use leftovers from the fridge!

Does anybody remember the "NACHO PRESIDENT!" pic with Hillary Clinton wearing a sombrero? That meme was friggin' HILARIOUS!!!

 

[Magus]

Turkey nachos rule.
Haven't tried chicken yet, probably the same.

Tonight I had fruit salad and cottage cheese with a bread stick.

 

[Pearl]

Tonight I'm making chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, dinner rolls, and as always served with a big glass of milk!

Yes they are!! I cooked part of one yesterday. This one is huge so it will make several meals. Yesterday I cut off legs , wings and some breast piece and made fried chicken. I am not that great at making typical American food so this is something I don't do often but it turned out fairly good. I fried it in lard and then put it in the oven to finish. I take the skin off the chickens ( it's tough) so the coating didn't stick too well

Today I will make chicken and dumplings with the rest, will take photos since someone here asked recently about dumplings. This I do know how to make

Tonight was chili night. But not the good stuff. Because my wife is having to work this evening, I'm on my own. So a can of chili is what I ate. It wasn't as bad as I remembered it being.

Shortly thereafter, I started looking for a dessert. Nothing! I have been up to the kitchen at least five times over the last few hours, checking to see if a dessert might have been overlooked or otherwise magically appeared. Nope! Not even a stale Chinese fortune cookie still on the counter from the last take-out.

And then I saw it! A box of brownie mix hiding in the back of the cabinet. Yep - got the eggs. Got the vegetable oil. Got the water. HooBoy! I don't care that it was 9:30 when I discovered this. Into the oven they went. As I type this, I am anxiously awaiting the 45 minute timer to go off. The hard part will be waiting for them to cool before cutting them. I checked, and it's 16 degrees outside. That should speed up the cooling process a little. But I just now thought, "Hey, if I eat the whole pan, technically, I don't have to cut them!" Now THAT would really speed things up!!!

 

[Patchouli]

Spaghetti, garlic bread. too lazy to fix anything else.
having a cup of Bengal Spice tea.

Just grab a spoon. No need to dirty a knife.

We had smoked pork chops, Spaghetti Squash, and stove top stuffing

I picked up a ribeye stk sandwich from a little place down the road. Dozed off in my recliner, woke up too late to fix supper. Too tired anyway from the family gathering.

 

[Pearl]

Had chili last night instead of chicken fried steak. So tonight is..... CFS!

 

[Amish Heart]

Made a soup with the leftover roast and lots of vegetables last night, and did the take and bake pizza the bus driver brought for little granddaughter. Had salad, too.
Tonight is chili at my favorite cousin's house. I need to make something to bring, so maybe scalloped potatoes. Looking forward to it...it's been 4 weeks since we've had Sunday dinner with her, but husband said he thinks he can make it tonight.

 

[hashbrown]

Big Al made chicken noodle soup from the leftover hen. I love the thick cut noodles she makes.

 

[Magus]

Chicken and dressing with cranberry sauce and Hawaiian rolls.

 

[snappy1]

Tonight will be burritos with home canned taco meat and refried beans.

 

[Magus]

Haven't decided yet. I'm thinking burgers.

 

[dademoss]

Back to old school, Pizza on a sourdough crust.

 

[Bacpacker]

Chicken, onions, peppers, gnocci

 

[Pearl]

Leftover chicken fried steak!

 

[joel]

BBQ sandwich

This was weird for me, so figured I'd post it:

1. Bed of lettuce (mixed leaf types...something my wife bought)
2. Topped with chicken fajita leftovers (cold, straight from fridge...mostly chicken meat, sauteed onions & peppers...very lightly seasoned, mostly just a roasted flavor), and
3. a little red wine vinaigrette to give it some salad-like zing.

Yeah...sounds weird. But, it actually worked. And, (perhaps) more healthy than my other option, a frozen pizza.

I've been trying not to drink during the week, but this called for a half glass of Rioja wine to finish.

That's not weird, we do a lot of leftover fajita salads. Very good eating!!
