What's for dinner tonight?

[Brent S]

Today was a small (never seen one this small before) ribeye steak, sourdough toast and a cup of yogurt. I'm feeling better every day now.

Finally, real food!

I smothered some pork chops, made a roux gravy, rice, potatoes sauted with onion, peppers, garlic and baked with cheese.
Still cant post pictures

I’m still waiting for my daughter and 4 grandkids to arrive about 9pm tonight. I’ve got a huge pot of spaghetti sauce, fresh picked salad and a huge tray of garlic bread with shredded mozzarella on it ready to go in the oven. I usually don’t eat near this late but it’s a play weekend so all norms are off.

Tonight I started out with a big slice of watermelon, then I had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Dessert will be raspberry sherbet.

 

[VenomJockey]

I believe I'll try Black Pepper stir fry using cut up NY Strip steak, mushrooms, bell peppers, banana peppers, red sweet peppers, onions, etc.

I cooked a ground venison meat and deer sausage Jambalaya for our prepper meeting yesterday. I used freeze dried shorting powder since I already had it opened. I plan to use it in as many ways as possible. Its giving me a good idea how my cooking is going to be using it post SHTF. I won't lie, I mixed in a half a stick of real butter at the end after tasing it. It was definitely eatable, but why not improve it if I can. Baked a loaf of French sourdough bread in the oven.

Sounds pretty good! And real butter is much better than margarine!!

We had a house full this weekend so the fridge is still full of spaghetti, pizza, salad, fruits and then there’s the cake and brownies too. Needless to say, I wasn’t dieting over the last couple days. Was great to have 4 grandkids visiting for a couple days.

I refuse to buy margarine. I feel like I might as well use vegetable shortening.

We drove up north today because we were invited on a boat cruise tomorrow. Tonight we took the daughter and grand kids out to dinner. I had a New York pepper steak, baked potato and salad bar. The wife had a grilled salmon steak. I haven't eaten this much in weeks. Took most of it home.

I just discovered Nutella! I’ve known about it but thought it was just a peanut butter and jelly mix. It’s more like a chocolate cake icing, I spread it on a banana this morning and it’s really good! I did notice the 100 cal per spoon though...

AKA "Fairy Poop"

Two groups of people, those that love it and those that find it disgusting. I am in the latter group.

Krista Maguire, a nutritionist, gives Nutella a thumbs down...better off buying peanut butter.

https://www.openfit.com/nutella-nutrition-facts

Excerpt: "A serving of Nutella (two tablespoons) contains 200 calories, 12 grams fat, 4 grams saturated fat, 15 milligrams sodium, 23 grams carbohydrates, 21 grams sugars, and 2 grams of protein. A serving of peanut butter (two tablespoons) contains 188 calories, 16 grams fat, 3 grams saturated fat, 8 grams carbs, 2 grams sugars, 7 grams protein, and varying amounts of sodium. No salt-added varieties have about five milligrams of sodium, while salted PB has about 152 milligrams.
When you consider Nutella versus any nut butter, plain nut butter generally has more healthy fats and protein and less carbs and sugars. And pretty much any nut butter tastes great on the same things you’d put Nutella on. “I don’t find any redeeming qualities about Nutella,” says Krista Maguire, R.D., C.S.S.D. and nutrition manager at Openfit. “Even if it has a little bit of calcium and iron and it’s low in sodium, there are so many more healthful alternatives that you can consume to obtain those nutrients.”

I have never considered nutella a healthy food, or even in the same category as peanut butter. I've always thought of it more like chocolate with nuts in it. . . good tasting, maybe some protein, but too much sugar to consume regularly or in large quantities.

Yeah, this stuff is a desert, not something you would consider healthy in any way. Surprisingly good though

Last night the wife and I were invited to go on a dinner cruise with a group of about 35 "special" investors. We had grilled tri-tip steak, halibut and salmon shipped in from BC, and an open bar. It was a great meal. We got off the boat at 8 pm and drove all night to get home at 6 am this morning. I'm a little beat right now.

Just about to pull the first apple pie of the season out of the oven. There’s enough apples this year to make about 500 of them.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Stir fry with shrimp and red and orange bell peppers. I had 3 helpings.

It's been too long since I made an apple pie. I usually only make them for Thanksgiving dinner, but you might have inspired me.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I made a pastalaya with beef roast, pork roast, chicken thighs and a smoke sausage. About 10lbs of meat, 5lbs. of spaghetti. We had a baby shower here. We also had many other foods, like a shrimp mold, sandwiches, fruit tray, cake, etc...

 

[VenomJockey]

Yeah, buddy!! Great stuff!!

 

[Brent S]

Went to a Chinese buffet in Atlanta today. I ate enough for lunch that I doubt I will have dinner tonight.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I boiled 10 pounds of fresh brown shrimp (21-25) and made a remoulade dressing, hard boiled some eggs, chopped up iceberg lettuce, cut grape tomatoes, sliced red onion. We ate shrimp remoulade salad.

That sounds delicious!!

I ate what would likely be a post SHTF meal. Canned sardines with thin cut onion, bottled lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, on some MRE crackers close to expiring. I actually enjoyed it.. for dessert I had an MRE lemon pound cake.

 

[KateMTx]

I made tahbouli the other day so I ate some of that left over with chicken and rice. I also sharpened my kitchen knives the other day and they work so much better. I am much more excited about cooking now.

 

[Brent S]

I fried some pork chops, cooked some fresh green beans in beef broth, and made some homemade Mac and cheese. I’m going to sleep content now.

 

[Mountain trapper]

I took my mom and sister out to dinner tonight. We had ribeye steak, salad, grilled shrimp, mac and cheese and bacon wrapped jalapenos.

 

[KateMTx]

I had to stay late to train new employees at work, so my boss ordered pizza for us.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I cooked filet mignon and broccoli and cauliflower, roasted garlic and toasted French bread.
