Whats for dinner 2023

[Survivor_316]

A pub up in Arlington VA that we frequent when visiting my son got us hooked on roasted Brussel sprouts. Normally I don't care too much for them, but roasted they are great!

We used to sear them with some cajun seasoning and chopped bacon in cast iron so they're just a little crispy and serve them over cheese grits. Yum!

Now I really miss bacon.

They're so good for you, too. Well.... I don't know about coated in bacon grease and over cheese. Haha

Chicken fajitas

 

[Dani]

Grilled Porkchops and Sweetpotatoes, But I didn't eat the sweet potatoe. I just wanted the meat. After work I ate a lunch of Beef Stroganoff.

 

[Cindyd]

Doctored up frozen pizza...uggh..larry had dental work today, I had to work n had afternoon Dr. Appt...so he threw in a fast n furious "dinner" on the fly! (That a fly likely wouldn't touch!).. I hadn't eaten all day, so I had 2 small pieces! I'm stockpiled to the hilt with food and may very well die of starvation..
At this point, I'm thinking I'll eat much better if SHTF!

I had some pre-packaged chickpea masala or something. I can't ever tell the difference between Indian food. It all looks and tastes the same to me.

Rare night at home alone.

I love me some chicken Marsala, my wife can’t do the mushrooms. She will cook it for me and cook something else fro her.
think that’s a definition of love.

Bought big pack of tri tip. Thought it was 20 lbs of 2. . Pleasantly surprised it was 5 tritips in that pack. For under $4 a pound and a coupon. $80 net price.
Trimmed 2 to supermarket standards. Trimmed one special to be on the smoker with a little extra fat. . Each of those 3 will be 2 meals.
Took my butchering skill on the last two ( I used to be part of a team that butchered 70 deer a year)
Last night I made what I call poor man’s fillet. Small part tip of the tritip cooked as I would fillet. Cast iron pan, salt, pepper, and a big chunk of butter. Heat oven to 500 and it’s done.delicious.
Tonight, a couple steaks I cut off. Cubed very small and made into Spanish rice. Never made spanish rice without hamburger before. Left over rice gets spooned into peppers for stuffed peppers for tomorrow.
That $80 piece of meat is going to get us 12 meals. And some tallow to boot

Went there today. And here they are:

 

[Mountain trapper]

Sourdough bread toasted on the wood stove for dinner. We're both too tired to fix anything else.

 

[Acdoctor]

Cornbread and milk for me tonight, not very hungry.

 

[user 7704]

Husband brought home kangaroo for dinner tomorrow night. I think I will pass. We are telling our son it is deer..

Leftover brisket, mashed taters and oven roasted green beans.

 

[Survivor_316]

We love cabbage and it has a very long storage life.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Cabbage smells bad when it's cooked.

 

[Survivor_316]

Cabbage smells bad when it's cooked.

True, but I kind of like the smell. I'm weird.

 

[Mountain trapper]

True, but I kind of like the smell. I'm weird.

I banned the wife from cooking cabbage inside.
Of course she hasn't listened to me yet. She also used some colorful words to describe my "mandate".

 

[Proud Prepper]

London broil steak, roasted pototatoes, carrots, squash with garlic herb butter.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I grilled salmon and cooked hibachi rice with shrimp, zucchini, onion and mushrooms. Baked, then grilled sweet potatoes. Made a Caesar salad.

Strawberries and poundcake for dessert.

 

[Dani]

Sis and I did Italian lasagna, chicken lasagna and spaghetti, because Mom said her husband’s side doesn’t eat lasagne but eats spaghetti. Everyone of them ate lasagna , except her husband so we actually made a lot of that, salad with everything you would want, squash casserole, green beans, garlic bread, strawberry shortcake cheesecake, lemon bars and chocolate sheet cake. His side provided nothing except to show up and eat. On our way home Hunny said he didn’t expect the leeches . . Really this is how things go. They showed up late. Eat time was 12:30 since I had to leave at 1:45 for work. More like 1.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Just put a whole chicken on the bbq rotisserie. The wife has some broccoli and cauliflower in the oven.

 

[Cindyd]

We kept it simple today..cooked out on grill at mothers hamburgers, hot dogs, i made baked beans, Cole slaw, chili, deviled eggs, chips n dip, mother made a cherry cheesecake, lettuce, onion n tomatoe from the garden for burger topping, my canned bread n butter and zesty dill pickes..I also made a veggie pizza, the recipe with the homemade ranch spread and chopped broccoli, cauliflower, red, green n orange bell peppers on top...baked crescent roll dough for the base..we played horseshoes, n corn hole! And some good ole country music playing..weather was beautiful! Neither of my boys tried to pick a fight with the other..got some target practice in with 9mm, grannys 38 special, and my 22 henry rifle..boys had their variety of defense weapons out target practicing, so all was good today...(red neck Patriots mothers day)..Good times!

 

[Acdoctor]

I put a couple steaks on the grill , some steamed broccoli with yeast roll to go with it. Man I am stuffed.

 

[DrHenley]

I've been bouncing back and forth between my son's place, my daughter's place, home and BOL2 since early April. Not much chance to eat right, but I did manage to fix some coffee rub venison a few days ago.

 

[Cindyd]

Fried rice, orange chicken, sizzling shrimp, crab Rangoon, egg roll (few bites of each).

Took son for hand surgery...hit the panda express up on way home. His choice, he was starving and still under influence of anesthesia.
I make way better fried rice!

 

[Acdoctor]

Fried flounder with Cajun fries, quick n easy.

 

[Survivor_316]

On mother's day, I ate a steak. It was amazing. I was full as a tick and it made me feel pretty awful yesterday, but it tasted great, even if a little overcooked for my liking.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Recipe I have dying to try. Smoked Shot Gun Shells.
Cananolli stuffed with Beef/beef chorizo, spiced and wrapped with bacon.
Short smoking time, so it wasn’t worth the big stick smoker.
Small gas grill with wood chips for hickory.
Whoops i forgot the BBQ sauce. It would have rounded it out.

The wife and I both work and bring home take out a lot. I recently found that I'm unwilling to spend $10+credit card tax for only 3-piece fried chicken and a spit full of beans so I'm eating at home -for 1994 extra value meal prices. Its now $24 for us and the 4 yo to eat McDonalds drive thru...its what the kid will eat. Whataburger is near $30 and the sit down Italian place up the road is only about $10 more than that with tip included. Keep on pushing $15/hr minimum wage gen Z and you'll find yourself back on food stamps. I say bring on the burger flipping robots. AI can't get the orders any more wrong than the current crew.
