What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[NYCgrrl]

Late night cooking going on this way. Roasting the last sheet pan of summer squash for weekend addition to ratatouille. Hopefully, by Monday, the completed dish should be cooled and in the freezer so we can start again on Tuesday, lol.

Made a charcuterie plate for self and nibbled on it throughout the evening with a bottle of rose by my side; so nice to be an adult .

leftover night.
We have Chicken Quesadilla Casserole, Tamale Pie, Pizza soup and some tuna left.

Last night was chicken sandwiches and fries, tonight is the leftover chicken and mac n cheese.

Had grilled cheese sandwiches with fresh garden tomato and some soup. It was wonderful.

Last night’s (or was it this morning’s?) cooking session was worth the time spent. Don’t have a full size oven and this is the time of year when I miss it. Too many quarter sheet pans to count (and only one pan fits at a time. sigh) and I somehow jumped far ahead of my initial time schedule. Now I guesstimate I’ll be finish by tomorrow night by the latest. Which will give me… about 8 quarts of “ratty” to store .

I really filled up on veggie “mistakes”(overly browned, too small, too big, too tasty, etc) so when I get up from my computer think I’ll make a PB&J sandwich and call it good enough for the night.

We are having chicken Cesar wraps with tomato and cucumber salad.

I’m going to a friends pool tomorrow for our last pool day of the season (they close the pool over Labor Day weekend) so I’m trying to figure out what I’m bringing. I’m bringing an appetizer, side dish, and a dessert. I’m thinking either a cheese tray or a veggie platter, macaroni salad, and either black bottom cupcakes or chocolate almond cupcakes.

Getting ready to head to the pool for the day. I made a cheese platter, my mom’s macaroni salad (way better when she makes it) and black bottom cupcakes. The host is making beer can chicken, ribs, and corn. Not sure what others are bringing.

Made duck ramen noodle soup using a confit duck leg and lots of veggies; just what the doctor ordered!

So now all the squash, eggplant, onions and peppers are roasted and the tomatoes are peeled, seeded, and diced. Tomorrow all will be combined in a saucier and cooked with a bit of butter and finally portioned into the freezer. Hallelujah!
Which means I can start making tomato confit, lol. Yeah it’s a bit of work now but I’ll be happy this winter.

it was family lunch/pool day, so dinner will be leftovers.
For me just some melon and grapes. I'm still full.
The gluten free cheesecake I made for DD was very good!
The rest is in the freezer for our family Labor Day lunch

Made an executive decision this morning. Decided to stop working on the ratatouille and switched to the Italian plum tort (only bought 12 pieces of fruit which is the exact number needed for one spring pan) and tomato confit. The remaining produce was ripening fast and needed using. The “ratty” is all cooked now so it’s fine on that level and the home attendant who comes tomorrow needs more cooking guidance than the weekend person. Amazing the amount of work that gets finished on the weekends; she’s a real keeper.

Somehow, I still needed something for dinner and decided that black bean soup was a good idea. Love using the pressure cooker for dried beans- so fast!
Err.. I’m out of cumin so used a mixed Latino seasoning that contains it; just hope for the best. Think I’ll make a radish and cucumber salad to go with the soup.

Another beautiful day here. Took a ride to Noank and had a late seafood lunch on the water. I had clam chowder and fried scallops. I could eat at a different seafood shack every weekend!

Friday night we got to the restaurant just as the kitchen closed an hour earlier than advertised. They had switched over to a bar, which left us nothing to order, but a nasty pizza.

Last night, DS had a French dip & fries. DH & I shared a cobb salad & a bowl of chili.

Tonight, we had grilled ribeyes, baked potatoes & Caesar salad.

I provided the soup for our church cafe today so I kept some back for our own supper. Chicken noodle and cheese toast, with sliced cucumber and tomato on the side. Easy!

Home from vacation and no groceries in the fridge, so Chinese delivery it was.

Spaghetti and homemade meatballs at the request of our 6 year old grandson. Salad, garlic bread, mozzarella sticks as well.

I need to figure out a dinner plan. Was planning to grill but now they are talking rain.

I saw a friend on Saturday and traded tomatoes for cucumbers. He gave me more that I expected so I made some pickles yesterday.

Mushroom chicken in the crock pot.

I wish it would rain and/or get cool here. But we do everything all year, use the oven, the grill, the smoker

Chicken breast with mushroom sauce and pasta

Bread and butter?
Looks yummy no matter the type.

Oh and are you hanging out at Abbot’s? It’s entered my dreams
