What Are You Having For Dinner

[Pearl]

I had that for lunch yesterday. But I threw in a few chicken strips. As if more fried stuff would make things healthier (but they did give it more variety!)

Cravings and ease-of-preparation sometimes win out over common sense. Of course, we probably have people here who make their own (healthy) tater tots. But I'm not one of those people.

Sometimes tater tots are important!!

Roasted hummus & chips with Rosemary & Olive oil Asiago cheese.
The Hummus & Chips are not high Protein, but good roughage.

I've been craving chili, but 90° here today, just can't do it!!

Geez - we're in the upper 60's for highs now, 40's at night. I love this cooler weather!

Wife is making cabbage stew ... cabbage, onion, celery, bell peppers, jalapeno, pork.

I just chopped it all for her! I'm the resident chopper!

 

[d_marsh]

Buffalo wings, celery, blue cheese dressing, and Coca Cola.

 

[Pearl]

Salads with leftover meat from the last two nights of burritos! Kinda like a taco salad I guess!!

 

[dademoss]

I don't know, Chili laid out for tomorrow. Maybe I will explode a hot dog.

 

[Patchouli]

I’m making chili, @Pearl !!
Zucchini, onion, garlic cloves, ground beef, pinto beans, small can of tomato sauce, and part of a can of Rotel chilies & tomatoes.

 

[teeceetx]

... Had a big late lunch, so no dinner tonight.

 

[Peanut]

A bowl of the chili I made yesterday. It was good last night, it was really good tonight! Be better tomorrow!

 

[Amish Heart]

Turkey and black bean burritos. Chips and guac

Maybe I will explode a hot dog.

I've read that they are great cooked in an air fryer!

Grilled chicken sandwich and grape tomatoes with ranch dressing.

 

[Pearl]

If all goes well, pizza!

 

[d_marsh]

Taco salad with iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, pinto beans, shredded cheddar, halved cherry tomatoes, ripe avocado, sliced black olives, green onion, crushed Dorito chips, a drizzle of hot sauce and a drizzle of reduced sugar Western / Catalina dressing. More sliced apples for dessert and it looks like 7up Zero is on deck.

Chili Simmering, I'll sample for dinner, and the aged leftovers tomorrow when Lori gets home.

 

[Weedygarden]

Onion rings! But I cheated and bought frozen onion rings and zesty horseradish sauce. The lady has a double convection oven that makes stuff as crispy as a deep fryer if you mist it with avocado oil first. I suppose they are really just huge air fryers, or air fryers are just tiny convection ovens.

Yes, air fryers are smaller versions of convection ovens. I have been wanting to replace my electric stove with a gas stove with an oven that has convection possibilities. That really increases the price on stoves to have that option.

I am attempting to make homemade chicken noo noo (noodle) soup with a store bought chicken. Yuck! I guess I am spoiled.

I simmered the chicken with veggies for stock yesterday. The meat was mush when I picked the bones today and it practically dissolved when put back in the stock. Insipid flavour.

Free range yard bird beats the heck out of store bought mushy, tasteless chicken.

Anyways, chicken noo noo soup and corn bread tonight.

I so agree. So many in my family cannot stand to eat chicken. We grew up on home grown chickens. When my uncle was eating lunch at the senior center, he would skip the days when they served chicken. And leftover turkey is hard for many of us, too.

 

[Weedygarden]

Freezer meal of red beans and rice. I went digging in one of the freezers and realized I have a few weeks worth of meal prep containers there: scalloped potatoes, baked g.f. spaghetti, red beans and rice, maybe more.

 

[Amish Heart]

Had put roast in the crock pot earlier today. We had that, leftover mashed potatoes, broccoli, fruit, and bread.

 

[Peanut]

Chili again tonight, it was perfect. Had potato salad also then pecan pie for dessert.

 

[Magpie]

Made a chicken dinner last night with extra veg for tomorrow nights dinner
I fancy a 80's flashback tonight. fish finger burgers, with a fried egg

 

[snappy1]

Cheeseburger with a little potato salad.

 

[d_marsh]

I am going semi-lazy tonight. Chicken tenders, sweet potato fries, baby carrots, radish chips, bell pepper strips, spinach dip, ranch dressing and honey mustard. I am going to have a Dr. Pepper Zero.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

My Irishman and I are going out to dinner and dancing.
Cajun alligator sausage, seafood king crab, hot spicy shrimp, T-bone steak etc
This kinda makes me nervous type dinner.

 

[Weedygarden]

Chicken tenders, sweet potato fries

Air fryer type food. Since I finally got with the air fryer program, I am on a search for all the kinds of things I can make in mine.

I never owned an air fryer, but this double convection oven is awesome. The top is both a convection oven and a microwave, the bottom is a huge 3 rack convection oven. When we buy a house if it doesn't have one, it's going to get one.

That is what I have been looking for, but I have limited time to go searching for one. I do want gas, but need to have the gas line replaced for that. I need to take time to schedule the gas line replacement. It's been a busy year.

I can tell you, don't go to Conn's. At least it didn't work for me. You walk in the door and you have someone assigned to you with a clipboard who wants to sell you whatever they can. I am too independent for that baloney. I was there maybe two minutes and I won't go back.

 

[hashbrown]

We made sort of a random dinner but damn it was good! Bacon wrapped shrimp, lamb chops, baked potato and a chopped Caesar salad with a Dirty Martini.

 

[Ekatarina]

I ate for dinner a big burger all dressed
chopped onion - cheese - relish -
and big pork patty with steak spices and garlic

 

[Amish Heart]

Greek chicken, broccoli, fresh fruit, bread I made this afternoon, and some homemade hummus with veg sticks
