Whats for dinner 2023

[DrHenley]

Had them 2 years in a row at MGM Grand in the conference area, so 4-5 star dining. It was just as bad as the cans as a kid.

You are just proving my point! LOL

Institutional Lima Beans are not the right kind of Lima Beans.
Canned Lima Beans are not the right kind of Lima Beans.

I cooked a second pot of green split pea soup. Everyone requested more. I used the baked ham shank left over from Christmas dinner.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Sour cream chicken and mashed potatoes.

Yesterday I bought some fresh hamburger meat instead of taking some out of freezer and made up a hamburger dip with velveeta cheese and threw in a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles, for my youngest son. I used to make that when my boys were teenagers to eat with tortilla chips.

I've been on a sandwich theme the past week, so I used the rest of the hamburger meat and made cheeseburgers for Larry and I today, some frozen french fries I threw in the air fryer (Which I didn't really care for). Just had regular hamburger buns, mayo, lettuce, tomatoe, red onion slices, and I picked up some gouda and provolone cheese. I overdid it a bit on the cheese, but it was good. Opened up a jar of zesty bread and butter pickles I had made a week or two ago.

Y'all keep talking about split pea soup and lima beans! I am going to have to put those on my list to make very soon! Yumm!

Just got back from a week at the BOL and the freezer is now crammed with venison and venison smoked sausage (My instructions to the processing place were "Smoked Italian links, hot, less fat" and it came out perfect)
So I see red beans rice and sausage, country fried venison, coffee rub venison, venison burgers, and Mongolian venison on the menu for many dinners to come. Some beans are soaking tonight.

 

[Proud Prepper]

Made a pot of Chili
Yes with beans, that's what everyone wanted. Not a lot of beans.

 

[Mountain trapper]

We're still about 3.5 hours from home, so I'm not sure what's for dinner tonight. I have some left over chili (no beans) in the fridge. I might heat that up when we get home.

 

[Cindyd]

Tacos...popped open 2 pints of ground beef I had canned, shredded up lettuce, chopped tomatoe, onion, shredded cheese, sour cream...that's it...simple, and quick..I actually ate 3 of them! Hard shells.

 

[Cindyd]

Pulled out Beef vegetable soup I had vacuum sealed in freezer bag and corn bread muffins mother made..vodker tonic/s which go good with anything

 

[Mountain trapper]

Tonight was toast.

 

[Cindyd]

Ac dude...you got stomach virus?

 

[Mountain trapper]

Ac dude...you got stomach virus?

Just wasn't hungry. Oh, and I guess I forgot to mention the toast had ham and melted cheese on it.

 

[Acdoctor]

Steak and cheese burritos with a ice cold beer.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Lunch was better than dinner. Bought 3 cooked crabs for dinner. We ate 2 last night.

Dinner was a can of chili. Wife working so much is getting old. 6 days and about 78 hrs

 

[DrHenley]

We had fried tofu with green onions, and some sort of black bean and tapioca pearl concoction. And rice. Not exactly my idea of a complete meal. I don't count tofu as meat, so I air fried some venison sausage.
And a Land Shark beer.

 

[Cindyd]

Since it's Sunday I made dinner for today and next cple of nights..a meatloaf, Salisbury steak with mushroom n onion gravy, and calf liver n onions, macaroni salad, frozen corn in butter sauce, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes.

I had a salisbury steak, corn, creamed spinach, taters n gravy, Larry had cple slices of meatloaf, spinach n corn...I was going to make cornbread but stood on my feet too long in kitchen..and had to do some laundry, so I pulled out 5 cheese Texas toast (I know, weird bread choice)...

 

[Mountain trapper]

Corn bread, Bush's beans and salad.

Does your wife make your tofu?
Tofu is not really for me but I always wondered if homemade would be better.

 

[Mountain Dragon]

We have an say here:
No jokes about tofu. It's tasteless.

 

[DrHenley]

Does your wife make your tofu?
Tofu is not really for me but I always wondered if homemade would be better.

She buys organic tofu at Aldi. She has made dòujiāng (fresh soy milk) at home before from soybeans straight off the combine back when we still had soybean fields (I made some too). I actually like homemade, and also the fresh made dòujiāng from street vendors in Taiwan. I can't stand store bought soy milk. So I call the store bought stuff "soy milk," and the homemade by it's Chinese name - 豆浆 {dòujiāng which means "bean broth"}. Chinese basically call the store bought soy milk "soy milk" too - 豆奶 (dòunǎi which means "bean milk").
It would be fairly easy I think to go from the homemade dòujiāng to tofu but I don't remember her ever doing it.

Going vegan tonight, just a salad. Of course it will have diced ham, shrimp and cheese in it, plus cottage cheese and toast on the side.

 

[bill harrell]

I'm eating like a king tonight, pickled eggs summer sausage, cheddar and crackers. Yeah, I like to flaunt my money sometimes. Both dollars. ( I sometimes put hens in the front yard when company is coming. Really impressive to most socialites.)

 

[Proud Prepper]

I cooked a fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp.

 

[Cindyd]

Finished off meatloaf I made ahead on Sunday! It's been in freezer though! Had a side of mashed potatoes (also made on Sunday) and an oatmeal cookie!

No idea why I ate a cookie! I never eat sweets! Red flag! I must be having a melt down!

 

[bill harrell]

Sugar is a great natural product of Louisiana, can't go wrong with real sugar.

 

[Cindyd]

Pastrami sandwich with provolone cheese, a little mayo, lot of mustard and some frito's (scoops) corn chips! Was starving when I got back from running errands and grocery today around 4pm...hadn't eaten all day...so that was breakfast, lunch n dinner!

 

[DrHenley]

Fried Quail and THICK fries.

 

[Acdoctor]

Rotisserie chicken, broccoli with ranch and stove top stuffing.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Did some chicken thighs. Fresh lemon, garlic, broth and spices. It was supposed to be a marinade but I baked in it instead.
Marinade was good over the rice, my wife is a rice purist and likes hers plain with butter. Best of both worlds for both of us.

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

I made Hungarian Chicken Paprikash with roasted broccoli and Hasselback potatoes. It was fabulous!
