The What's For Dinner Thread - October'11 (recipe index in OP)

[Goofyluver]

Some of our pics from the last week (including Super Bowl day!):

Homemade Cheeseburger Macaroni:

Carnitas:

Homemade Tortillas:

Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies With Marshmallow Cream:

Pioneer Woman's Bacon Crackers:

And the Caramelized Onion Dip that I said I needed to share!

Ingredients:

2 medium onions, chopped
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs. butter
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup mayo
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp. cayenne
salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat.

Add onions, garlic, salt, pepper and cayenne and saute for 10 minutes, or until onions are beginning to brown. Turn heat to low and saute for another 20-25 minutes, until onions are nicely caramelized, stirring occasionally. Once onions are browned, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Mix sour cream and mayo in a bowl. Add cooled onions. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

Allow dip to chill for a few hours before serving so that flavors will blend nicely.

Where is the recipe for the John Wayne casserole? I have a bunch if eggs I need to use up!

Doh! I completely forgot about this today! Here it is!

John Wayne Casserole

8 oz grated cheddar
8 oz grated Monterey Jack
1 sm can diced green chilies (4 oz I think)
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 tbsp flour
Salt & pepper to taste
1-2 tomatoes sliced thin.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F

In a large bowl, mix cheeses and green chilies. Separate eggs putting whites in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, place yolks. To the yolks, add milk, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, fold into egg yolks. Combine egg mixture with cheese, pour into an 8x8 baking pan and cook for 30 minutes.

Put sliced tomatoes on top in a single layer spreading them evenly. Bake for an additional 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Buddy had surgery on his elbow today so we are not doing much.

Buddy's mom is coming along a bit. She was really sick, still is actually but her breathing is a bit better.

Hope he heals quickly and that his mom gets better soon.

Dinner last night was Chinese food, had a meeting, dinner tonight will be Snow Crab legs.

Speaking of snow , we are supposed to get something today although they say it isn't supposed to amount to much. I hope so because it is supposed to be here for rush hour.

It is quiet in here. Where are you foodies?

Happy Wednesday evening.

Work was good but busy today. Tomorrow's Thursday! Which means it's almost Friday!

We tried a new recipe tonight for chilaquiles. OMG. YUMMMMMM. I'll work on getting the recipe and pics posted.

Hope all of you have a wonderful tomorrow!

Morning, all! It's a grey day, but I have a feeling the sun will break through!

Dinner last night was really tasty! The ham and bean soup was amazing!!!

I have no idea what's for dinner tonight. Something easy. I have to spend some time with Jacob at the doctor, so I'm not sure how much time I'll have to make dinner. We'll most likely have some kind of pasta.

Morning, everyone! Where, oh where, is everyone!

Today it's leftover kinky spaghetti and meatballs for lunch. Tonight we are going to my grandmother's house for dinner. She's cooking for the two of us and my parents. Fun, fun!

MAC (makeup, not Apple) has an event going on right now and I'm going to go today and get my makeup done. I'm soooooooo excited! This is my anniversary gift from Scott. This is something I do to treat myself 2 or so times a year. The people that work at our local MAC counter are my friends so we always have a great time. I may take a few pictures. HOPEFULLY I will finally get a good shot of my hair!

Have a great day everyone!

I'm around. My laptop is sick and my replacement has arrived. Hoping to find time this weekend to get the replacement up and running. And then to see about getting this sick one fixed!

I do have pics to share...just haven't wanted to download to the sick laptop.

I'm here too, just busy and nothing to say, my mind is blank this week. Also no really good food. I did have a Baconator sandwich from Wendy's last night for dinner and it had LOTS of bacon on it.

Tonight I am thinking about having tacos. Depends on when I get home. I have some things I have to get done at work, been procrastinating, then I need to run to Target for a few things. I need an ice/snow scraper, using my Costco card just ain't cutting it.

Sorry I didn't post earlier. I had to get Alan up at 3:45 this morning, and then I crashed until almost 7:00. Then, I had to get all the kids up, fed, dressed and out the door for school. Timmy and I followed soon after for bowling. We got home with about 10 minutes to spare before we had to be at Jacob's school for his dance showcase. As part of their PE, they do ballroom dancing, and end the unit with a Valentine's dance. It was so cute! They all dressed in their Sunday best, and had exhibition dances, plus parent dances, and girl's choice/boy's choice. So wonderful!

Dinner tonight is up in the air. Katie will fix something for the kids here at the house. Alan is taking me to the ballet tonight!!! We are going on a "double date" with our friends, and will get dinner after the ballet. I'm really excited! This is something I love, but Alan really doesn't, so, he's getting a whole lot of Valentine's points for this one!

I'm here! It has been a crazy week and finally it seems to be over until Monday. I really have not been cooking, Buddy and I are eating what we find in the fridge or last night grinders. I am officially sick of them!

Talk to you all tomorrow!

 

[HERSEY]

Good morning! It is a little chilly here the wind chill bring already chill air down to -11. I left soda in the car last night. I brought it in this morning Good thing it is only very chilled not frozen or worse.

I think a turkey breast is in order today. I may do it in the crock pot. Not sure yet.

I haven't been around for a few days because we've been having a blast out at Disneyland. Today is checkout day, so we'll be home tonight. I think dinner will be leftover Monte Cristo Sandwiches.

 

[Glynis]

Evening, everyone!

I just got back from taking the kids to see The Muppets. What a cute movie!!! Definitely one we will own!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that I started making PW's short ribs in tomato sauce, for our Sunday (pseudo-Valentine's) dinner tomorrow. You cook it on one day, let it sit in the fridge over night, skim the fat off and then warm it up to eat. It smells HEAVENLY!!! I can't wait to dive into it!!! I'll report on the final product tomorrow, but, oh my goodness, it smells good here!!!

 

[Glynis]

Wow! It's been quiet here, today. I hope everyone is ok.

I just have to say that PW's short ribs with tomato sauce was INCREDIBLE!!! There was not a speck left after dinner. It is a keeper, for sure!!!

Good morning!

Dinner last night was a Dorito chicken casserole I found on pinterest it was pretty good. I might add more spice next time. Oh I also made rice pudding. We love rice pudding here.

Dinner will be leftovers.

I am a little tired I stayed up to watch the Grammy's then proceded to stay awake. I waited till midnight for the sandman to visit me but he never showed. He is such a MAN to keep me waiting
