What Are You Having For Dinner

[Tank-Girl]

Chicken and sweet corn soup.

I used the drumsticks and thighs off the culled hen and a whole bag of sweet corn kernels.

Yeah I know it's hotter than the surface of the sun at the moment but......yeah, soup.

 

[Amish Heart]

Ham and bean soup. Hawaiian rolls. Husband ordered 8 dozen Hawaiian rolls on line.

 

[VenomJockey]

"Oriental Chicken Casserole" https://2cookinmamas.com/chinese-chicken-casserole/
Not sure what to have with it, though.

 

[Sentry18]

Ham and bean soup.

That sounds delicious. Somehow I am the only one in the house who likes bean and ham soup, so we always end up having split pea and ham instead. Which is also good, just not the same.

Last night I had a couple grilled ground beef patties with melted cheddar, fried onions, spicy pickles, and homemade thousand island dressing. Tonight we are having chili.

Thanksgiving left overs we froze. We made 7 pie pans of cornbread dressing [ forgot we weren't cooking for 20 or 40 relatives this year.
Turkey, dressing and cranberry open jar of pintos. .

I like home made bread but never tried to bake it. I did make some good spoon drop biscuits yesterday, stopped cutting or rolling them 30 year ago. I like easy now.

 

[Amish Heart]

Lasagna (baking in the camp oven), salad and bread.
Oven part has been ordered and maybe it will be fixed mid week.

Amish I'm about ready for some of that kind of meal too.

 

[Terri9630]

Lasagna sounds good.

 

[Amish Heart]

It was. But now the diet starts. Husband is requesting lettuce wrapped hamburger, green beans, and salad with lemon juice tonight.

 

[Sentry18]

Grilled chicken and "Olive Garden" style salad.

 

[Terri9630]

Pot roast bubbling in the crockpot. Smells wonderful.

 

[Weedygarden]

Chinese Mongolian beef

I have made lasagna from scratch many times in my life, but haven't had it in years. I would make a large pan and then freeze the leftovers in serving sizes to take to work. I did find that places like Costco have a frozen version of it that was excellent IMHO. It was a great thing to take to pot lucks when there was a crowd. Inner city schools have a pot luck and many families come empty handed. More than once I took my food donation, got in line and there would maybe be corn chips and bread left when I got to the food. I learned not to count on eating there. Of course you never know what your food had been through anyway.

When neighborhood women came around selling burritos out of coolers, someone warned me to not buy them for that reason. I had several times previously and I found them to be delicious, but plant that idea in my head and I was done.

I make a killer lasagna! Only I used slices of zucchini in place of pasta. The trick is sliced mozzarella not shredded.

I do the same thing only use the zucchini in place of meat sometimes. It is very good both ways..

 

[Meerkat]

I was right, it was wonderful.

I do the same. Not on purpose, its just the way I cook. We almost always have leftovers.

I have had that as well, only with shredded mozzarella. When the zucchini is producing like crazy, it is a good way to use it.

 

[Amish Heart]

I make a pasta sauce with tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, Italian seasoning. Cook ground beef. Mix up cottage cheese, fresh shredded mozzarella or jack and fresh parmesan. Layer all of that with cooked lasagna noodles. Then bake it. We usually have leftovers, but only had a little. I had to use the 9 by 11 pyrex instead of the bigger one, since that's the largest size that will fit in the outdoor camp oven.
Potlucks can be a pain. I always bring a large main dish, and a side dish. We have Boy Scout potlucks Court of Honor dinners every three months. Most of the food comes from the grocery store...premade mac salad, potato salad, fried chicken. But they let parents and guests get their food first. When the boys get in line, everything gets cleaned out.

 

[WVDragonlady]

something out of the pantry full of chemicals, salt, sugar, carbs,etc and not made from scratch

 

[snappy1]

Oven BBQ chicken, sweet potatoes and broccoli

 

[Meerkat]

Hamburgers,french fries.

Hamburgers,french fries.

Hey me too!

Of course my hamburger will have no bun and the fries won't be made with potatoes.

 

[Peanut]

Kinfolk brought over a pot of chicken n dumplings and a tray of deviled eggs. I added some pickled beets and a big piece of pie.

What are your 'fries'made of?

 

[Amish Heart]

I bet they're made of zucchini

We had greek chicken, cauliflower, and a salad with beets and garbanzos

 

[Sentry18]

@Amish Heart was right, zucchini rolled in grated parmesan cheese and almond flour. Although sometimes we will also use sweet potatoes, which are of course not actually potatoes.
