What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[LoveDaisy]

Tonight I made thin chicken breasts stuffed with crab stuffing, rice, and peas.

Was going thru my freezer inventory today and realized I’ve an obscene amount of lamb chops in there. Sent DGD to the meat market awhile back and she got confused whilst multitasking. Mind you she refuses to eat lamb because they are “cute” leaving me to pig out on I kid you not: 21 lamb chops.
Going to try to put a dent in them this week then see if there is a way to add them to my Asian New Year celebration later this month. Wish me luck.

So in honor of my all carnivore all the time forthcoming week tonight it’s clams, broccoli rabe and pasta.

I’m impressed you went through your freezer. That is always in my list and I never do it. I would like to do a cleaning, inventory, and organize it. I have a second freezer.

Tonight was cauliflower fried rice with mushrooms and edamame.

We hadn’t had cheese pork roll sandwiches and baked beans in a long while. So, that’s what we had tonight!

 

[Genie+]

Meatloaf by request.

Felt like breakfast for dinner so changed up the menu plan.

TikTok chicken, a family fav

See, there are some positive things that come from TikTok

I’ve an apartment sized chest freezer and it can only defrost manually so when DGD returns it’ll be time to do again.
I used to keep a running inventory pinned to the door but that went by the wayside with my stroke. Now basically I keep a total in my head using computerized shopping lists and weekly menus as prompts. The freezer only holds about 8 cu ft so it’s not too difficult but my method wouldn’t be doable for a normal sized unit

To organize the unit I use clear bins. A big one for veggies and smaller ones to subdivide the proteins. Then prepped meals and side dishes go in the kitchen fridge’s freezer. My regular home attendant is finally getting the hang of it and probably wouldn’t mind cleaning the unit since the bins make it so easy but I’m not gonna press my luck. Besides DGD owes me for the great lamb mix up, haha.

@NYCgrrl

I love the clear bin idea! That would make it so much easier. I’ve been eating out of my freezer and have an empty shelf so I feel like this is a good time to clean and organize.

Put your DGD to work she owes you for the lamb

Tonight I am making a huge pot of chili for my little family. No matter how much I make, it never seems to be enough. My three grandchildren will devour it.

Last week my son called Sunday morning about getting together that night. Only stipulation was no pizza. I didn’t want to do takeout for a crowd so I made chili. I put beans in 2 thirds of it and left the rest without. Everyone ate the no beans except my husband. Lesson learned next time less with beans

That is something I am working on as well. I want to clean it out to fit fresh things in. I have it so well filled that if I dig for something I cannot fit everything back in. With my new dedication to meal planning I hope to start putting a dent in it

Tonight we are going to try Mississippi pot roast. It is something DH has been wanting to try for years. Tomorrow will be stuffed pork chops

 

[Meriweather]

tonight is baked chicken surrounded by cut up sweet potatoes, a lime/salsa sauce and then cheese on top. Not sure about sides yet

 

[TippyThomas]

I need to run into town later so I plan on stopping at a Japanese restaurant that I enjoy and bring home lots of sushi. I'm sure I'll throw in an appetizer or two as well, but I don't know exactly what yet.

 

[NYCgrrl]

And now begins the Bopeep edition: tonight it‘s lamb chops roasted with dukkah (mostly chopped nuts) and pomegranate molasses on the side. A green salad and sautéed string beans finish it off.

 

[tinkerbellandpeterpan]

Chicken cutlets and rice.

 

[LoveDaisy]

Tonight was chicken fried rice. I used up chicken from a whole chicken I made last week (froze the leftover chicken), leftover rice, the last 2 carrots in the fridge, and a half bag of peas.

Breakfast for dinner tonight: Banana-cinnamon pancakes, blueberry compote and fruit salad.

I had planned on grilled chicken on salads, but the chicken wasn’t thawed enough and DD needed to get to practice so it was grilled cheese and tomato soup. Chicken will be good for tomorrow.
