2019 And What's For Dinner?

[Blonde Granny]

Starting a new year off right....are you cooking, ordering in or eating out?

[imanangel]

I will be cooking. I have some meals I ordered from Home Chef that I need to cook. I was in a cooking funk and just sick of all the same old foods, so I ordered Home Chef. It is a little expensive, but it will work for awhile.

If the family ever gets up I will make them an omelette with flour tortillas.  I just scrambled a couple of eggs and had corn tortillas.  I wish I had some sausage, would have mixed it in for more flavor but was fine.


Dinner tonight is strip steaks, maybe on the grill, they taste better, baked potatoes, and salad.


Tomorrow stir fry.

I have leftover stuffed shells (meatless) from Monday, and that is dinner tonight, along with a salad. It's been a very relaxed day around here, and I have no intention of unrelaxing.

I'm making pork chops. Don't know what I'm going to make with it, but I'll figure it out.

I am making a breakfast casserole for dinner tonight that I had intended for Christmas morning. Ham, shredded potatoes, and cheese mixed with eggs. When I broke open the eggs on Christmas morning, one of them was bad and contaminated the other eggs. So I bagged up the rest of the ingredients and froze them for later when I could buy more eggs.

Fortunately the sticky buns came out ok on Christmas, so we still had something to eat for breakfast.

Grilling some filets from the freezer. Not sure if we will grill or bake the sweet potatoes. And we will have a salad.

Ham, black-eyed peas, and cornbread.  Yum!

[Shooby]

I made my version of chicken ramen. 

[msventoux]

Red velvet oatmeal for breakfast and leftover baked potato soup for dinner.

Homemade orange chicken for dinner.  The kid picked and that is what she picked.

[Blonde Granny]

Leftover from Cracker Barrel last night is dinner tonight: chicken & dumplings, cole slaw and some cinnamon apple slices.

[Happy prose]

Lentil soup with a bunch of vegetables in it. I made a big batch yesterday, so probably will eat a few times this week. 

[wvugurl26]

Wednesday night will be soft taco wraps with shredded chicken, black beans, broccoli/cheesy rice and shredded lettuce.

Thursday night I'm using the leftover filets to make philly cheese steaks. Although I've been told bell peppers and mushrooms are unauthorized toppings. Will probably serve with onion rings.

Friday night I'm doing baked steak, mashed potatoes and peas for me. I will steam broccoli for DH who apparently doesn't eat peas.

Saturday I might see if DH will make meatballs. I have a craving for spaghetti and meatballs. All the store bought varieties have soy protein in them so I can't have them.

Sunday we might go to a friend's house for football. They tend to be superstitious this time of year and want to repeat the prior week.

I was sent home with enough left overs yesterday to last me for days. Does that count as cooking, take out or just lucky. All veggies so if I get tired of them, I'll just vacuum seal and freeze. Drag them out later, in pot with other stuff for homemade vegetable soup.   

[andi9899]

I just took some fish out to thaw. I'll have the leftover quinoa and salad from last night as well.

[chiver78]

there is a spectacular Mexican restaurant here on the Cape that does Sunday brunch, and they did a holiday opening yesterday so we went. I got a breakfast burrito the size of my head, that I will be finishing for lunch today. salsa verde, fresh guacamole, yum! 

I was still stuffed from the burrito last night, so dinner was a can of soup. tonight, I'll work on some of the leftovers from NYE - veggie egg rolls, Korean BBQ chicken, glass noodles. 

[imanangel]

Today I am going to make my last Home Chef meal for lunch. It has to be used up before we check into our hotel. We will do a romantic dinner out. It is the only planned eating out that we have this month. 

[Iggy aka IG]

I had that, minus the cornbread because I forgot it and it was a flat frisbee. I asked DH to get some buttermilk cornbread mix when he went to store, and forgot to point him to the flour section. He brought me the mix from the muffin section. It was a little too little for the pan I already had ready for it. 

I did have fried chicken with it to make me feel better though. 



I have no idea what I'm doing tonight. Something easier than frying chicken though. 

[weltschmerz]

I'm making my Brazilian chicken in coconut milk, with fragrant jasmine rice.


DS loves it. SO good!

[Iggy aka IG]

Thought I'd share part of last night's delight.  (That's clarified butter.)

[Iggy aka IG]

Yesterday's brunch consisted of a grain free Dutch Baby, Bullseyes, and bacon.  The strawberry topping was made from fresh strawberries frozen while in season:

I just drooled over this picture! Please share the recipe!

[weltschmerz]

I use this basic recipe, but I tweak the hell out of it.  Drumsticks instead of breasts, whole coconut milk instead of light, I add lime, and I just shove all the meat to one side when sauteeing the onions, tomatoes, etc. Mix it all up and add the coconut milk and simmer.  You can't screw it up.

[weltschmerz]

The most important thing is to coat the chicken in ground coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne, then brown.
The aromas! OMG! The whole house is redolent of exotic spices.

Iggy aka IG - what's a bullseye? I'm guessing a breakfast pastry of some sort?

scratch that, I picked up a cod filet at the fish market. going to broil that with some roasted root veggies, maybe some broccoli as well. I ended up eating the burrito super early and grabbed some soup around 2. the soup was salty AF and the thought alone of eating Korean leftovers tonight is making me thirsty. lol....

Looked it up. It might be this: bread with a hole in it cooked in a pan then dropping an egg into the hole to cook inside it.
