The What's for Dinner Thread- June 2012 (recipe index in OP)

....WFD LAST night? I made chicken and cheese quesadillas, with all the trimmings. However, I used La Fe white arepas for my DH because they are GF. They're a little thicker than a flour tortilla, but when heated up they got softer, almost like a whitish pancake....

Well, was it any good?

....yes, surprisingly so. They were kinda hard and dry-looking in the pkg, but when they were heated up [over a very low flame] they got soft and moist...

Fran made our dinner last night!

Last weekend I had cooked a Ham. We were dismantling it earlier in the week (cutting off the bone and slicing for sandwiches) when she decided we were going to have Ham and Bean soup. We cooked the bone for several hours in a pot of water, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. She reduced it down to a nice broth.

Yesterday I peeled the fat off the mixtures put it through a strainer, discarded the wilted veggies and pulled the meat off the bone. Last night she cut up carrot, celery and onion, and put that in the broth with some white beans, salt and pepper. We used an immersion blender on about half the soup and mixed it back in the pot for thickening. I also added a little of my "not starch" thickener.

It came out really good. We had it with some frozen garlic rolls that I heated up in the oven. Sunny even liked hers!

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans & yeast rolls for us tonight. I use the meatloaf recipe on the back of Lipton Beefy Onion Soup mix. It's almost done and I realized I forgot the eggs!!!!
Do you think it will be terrible? I'm not going to tell anyone...

The eggs help to bind it together, so it might be more likely to fall apart rather than stay loaflike.

I better start thinking about our dinner. We're having prime rib, frozen mac and cheese (heated of course) and asparagus. The Prime Rib is par cooked, so I'm really only heating it up. I need to get it out of the fridge to come to room temp.

That's what happened. It was still yummy, just more meaty and broke in half when I sliced it. It was 2 pounds of meat, and there are only 2 slices left, so I think they liked it anyway!

My family ate without me while I was at a meeting at school.

So, I had a dinner that made my 11 year old very jealous when I got home...
Chips, salsa, guacamole, lemon cake & vanilla ice cream.

I sliced our Prime Rib up into thin slices with my new slicing machine yesterday. Tonight we had French Dip sandwiches with salads from the deli, Potato and seafood. I declined on the seafood salad, but cooked the rolls with butter before adding the meat.

Dinner was yummy!

No worries Kim, I hope it ends up working out for you. You need a vacay!

We did'nt give Sunny an option on the salad, but we did give her a little plate of the roast beef. She ate all of that!

....I don't get it....either the outgoing flight is a decent price and the incoming one isn't or vice-versa; when I switch a day later (to come back) or a day earlier (to leave) the price literally DOUBLES!

I'm actually cooking noodles and fried rice today. Going to a friend's place for lunch and I'm bringing lunch. I haven't decided if I'm going to take pictures; but I suspect not. They are not the 'porn' kind of friends.

....some things are better left 'unsaid'...
