Whats for dinner 2023

Did you catch it? You stated fresh so I assumed you probably did. Nothing beats fresh food. Sounds simple and delicious Doc.

"Fresh" is what we call it if it has never been frozen. I am at my sister's house in Mississippi and the markets here get same day fish from the docks on the Gulf. You can tell it is very fresh.

That’s how we define “fresh” as well. Why I assumed you caught it. Have a great time in Mississippi and enjoy the fresh seafood.

I guess I can't say mine was actually fresh...I'll just say Alaskan "wild caught" flash frozen. I still haven't made it. My butt was dragging yesterday afternoon and mother had made beef stew, so I took a container and we ate that. Today had to take larry for his weekly appt. We didn't get back til about 5:30. He wanted to stop and grab something on way home...maybe I'll make the fish tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy it. Listen, the closer to the water the better the meal. I’m sure freezing it immediately after it was Cleaned and dressed will be terrific.

Firehouse is one of my faves for any sub!

Whenever I am hungry for a sub, I go to Firehouse and order a medium pastrami and provolone on wheat, fully involved. It's always good!

Lets see yesterday I had a protein smoothy for breakfast. An avocado for lunch & beef stew for supper. And a big bag of Jax cheese curls for movie snacking. I watched True Lies & started binge watching House of Cards.

Went to Firehouse last Friday with my wife. Had what I think was called New Yorker, it was Pastrami and Beef Brisket with provolone. That was a good sub.

We're putting a whole chicken on the rotisserie tonight for dinner.

GP...I made your sauce recipe! And the fish today. I think I got maybe a little too much lemon flavor in it, but it was still really good! And larry enjoyed it too! I did make a bit extra sauce and threw some linguine noodles in it I had left over from cple days ago to warm them through..Yum! I didn't get a pic because our power went off today at 4pm..due to storm and I didn't think about taking a pic. Anyway, I'll use the recipe again...thanks so much for sharing!

 

[Cindyd]

Meant to say also...good to have gas stove for such interruptions!

I have made a couple casseroles today for this weeks dinners. Granny's Shrimp Casserole and Chicken Spaghetti.

Here is a good sauce one!

Ingredients​

For the Cod:​

• 2 6-ounce wild Pacific Cod fillets (1/2-inch thick)
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/3 cup olive oil (divided)

For the Lemon-Garlic Sauce:​

• 2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
• 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons soft butter
• 1 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions​

For the Cod:​

1. Pat the cod fillets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Combine the flour, salt and pepper together and dredge the cod fillets.
3. Heat a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet set over medium-high. When it is hot, swirl 3 tablespoons of the oil over the bottom of the pan and add the flour-dusted fillets. Cook for about 3 or 4 minutes. Do not move the fish. As the crust forms it will release from the pan. Give the fillet a nudge with a turner, after 3 minutes, if it moves flip it and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

For the Lemon-Garlic Sauce:​

1. In a small skillet or saucepan set over medium-low heat, heat the remaining olive oil and add the garlic and lemon slices and cook until the garlic is fragrant. Pour in the wine, chicken broth and the lemon juice. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove and discard the lemon slices and taste to adjust seasoning.
2. In a small dish, combine the soft butter and cornstarch to make a paste then stir in 2-3 tablespoons of the hot sauce. Whisk the mixture into the sauce and cook until slightly thickened, then stir in the thyme leaves. Transfer the sauce to a dish or pitcher. Plate the reserved fish and spoon the hot sauce over the fish.

I will have to try this one.

Spaghetti: Larry had my homemade, spaghetti sauce I canned from our fresh tomatoes in garden. I had only olive oil and sautéed garlic over mine!

I'm getting back on the mostly protein, no carb diet again tomorrow with drinking lot of distilled water...(to target my joint/neck pain issues), but I am a sucker for olive oil and sautéed fresh garlic over pasta.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

I made Shotgun Shells. Chorizo, burger, mozzarella, peppers stuffed into pasta shells, wrapped in bacon. I used the sausage maker to fill the shells, Finished with BBQ sauce

 

[Mountain trapper]

A can of fruit cocktail and some celery. We're both too tired to make anything else tonight, plus we still have chores to finish up too.

 

[Survivor_316]

I had fruit salad. To lazy to cook today.

 

[Cindyd]

Cheese omelette.. on bread with mayo, lettuce, onion and sliced tomatoe...

I guess that's an egg sandwich! Plus half a bag of fritos corn chips on side!

My plans for the "get healthy" diet are falling by the wayside. Shameful!

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

Hungarian Chicken Paprika.

 

[Cindyd]

Last night I made homemade loaded nachos and a no bake peanut butter pie. Tonight, not sure...might be everyone fend for themselves! It's getting dinner time and I've got nothing as far as plans so far.

My husband came home with "ground prime rib for sliders". This struck me me as very odd use for a prime rib.

I'm going to use it for sloppy joes.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I cooked a pot of red beans today with smoked sausage and smoked ham hock. Because we went out to eat yesterday.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

It’s our anniversary so I made Shrimp Fra Diavola. Spicy Shrimp, tomatoes, sauce over pasta. Just sucks to be eating it at 9pm at night.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

I can’t figure out what to top last night’s meal. Guess it will be sausages on a bun or Mac and Cheese

 

[user 7704]

Kielbasa, Brussels sprouts and shredded potatoes with Vidalia onions.

How about some lamb? Just made some myself and lamb with the sauce I make is so delightful!

This wasn’t dinner, but it was dessert!

Blackberry Pie (recipe photo). Very fun to make! I left out the lemon juice.

Blackberry dumplings are so good too. And easy. Boil berries and sugar. While in a deep boil, add dough (canned bisquits) until done. That's it.

I'm gonna make a tomatoe pie this weekend..with the last of my tomatoes from garden..(maybe 2 or 3 pies). I don't know why I haven't made one yet this summer with all the tomatoes we've grown. About the only garden produce that did any good this year.
