What's for dinner tonight?

[Jayson]

We’re eating out. It’s our 27th wedding anniversary. Well, actually we’re picking up dinner because all restaurants are closed except for takeout orders.

 

[Dani]

Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and oven fried eggplant. Hunny has gotta have his mashed potatoes. . . He likes potato pancakes for breakfast.

 

[dirtdiva]

Homemade chicken noodle soup and buttermilk biscuits. Peach cobbler for dessert

 

[Brent S]

I fried a pound of bacon. Afterward I Drained most of the grease and fried a batch of sliced potatoes. Half way thru I added sliced zucchini and yellow squash to it. I had an ear of corn on the Cobb too. I made this just a couple days ago but fried foods are so good to me that I was craving it again. I’m sipping on a second beer now and will likely be asleep in half an hour. A really good way to end the day.

Crock pot full of pintos and side meat on . Will make cornbread and a cherry cobbler later to go with them .

This sounds really good. I need to make cornbread sometime soon. It's been way too long since I had it.

I tried a new recipe I found for chili based on lentils. There were vegetarian versions but that was a little too hardcore for me so I put ground turkey in mine. I also added a can of mixed beans. I used "chili ready" tomatoes and some some salsa to add a little extra flavor. It is actually pretty good.

Homemade chili and cornbread is always a winner.

I made the first batch of collards today. They were really good but still aren’t as good as my favorite country restaurants. I’m gonna have to ask for their recipe one day....

 

[Mountain trapper]

Something soft again.

 

[DrHenley]

Stir fried Chinese eggplant with ground pork, green onions and sweet chili sauce over rice. This is one of those dishes that sets off your endorphins like an opioid drug, LOL. Too bad the high only lasts a few minutes.

I missed something, are you sick?

I made a meat loaf with a brown gravy, mashed potatoes, a garden salad and corn bread.

One of my favorite meals.

 

[DrHenley]

Hakka style sweet and sour chicken over stir fried garlic chives, over rice. If there was ever a dish that could make you OD on garlic, this is it, LOL.

There is no such thing as OD ing with garlic! Likely my favorite spice.

Garlic is good with a lot of things. I like the green olives stuffed with garlic cloves.

I love the ones stuffed with garlic and jalapeno. I get the jars from Sam's club, I have about 6 jars stocked up.

We had a "social distanced" gathering of a few people at a friend's house with barbecue take-out from a local place.

 

[Brent S]

I thick sliced some potatoes and baked in the oven with olive oil and spices until a bit crispy, also baked some skinless and boneless chicken thighs that were brushed with barbecue sauce at the end. A thick slice of a grain bread toasted and buttered along with an ear of corn. Now I’m having a glass of wine in the hot tub. Great way to end the day.

 

[KateMTx]

I worked late so I had a frozen dinner and a glass of wine.

Chicken and rice casserole made from left over chicken and corn with a small salad

I feel like casseroles get too much hate these days. They are super convenient and when made right are quite tasty. Maybe I'm biased growing up in the south though.

 

[dirtdiva]

Spaghetti and Meatballs and sourdough garlic bread

 

[Proud Prepper]

I made meatballs and some marinara, covered in parmesan cheese. Sauteed some green beans from the garden. I put this over some Konjac spaghetti.

 

[DrHenley]

Mushu pork

 

[Brent S]

Little ceasers supreme pizza. I ate two slices at 8pm while driving home. Had that stuff all over me..... pizza isn’t good for driving.

Kind of. I had a burst appendix and had some of my intestines and some kind of growths removed. I was in surgery for over 8 hours and spent a week in the hospital. So much for being debt free.

I guess I missed that too. Hope you are feeling better. Sounds like you had a close call.

I’m so sorry! A burst appendix can lead to really bad infections. I believe that’s what killed Harry Houdini. Apparently you escaped one thing he couldn’t! Hope your back in top shape soon.
