What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[cabanafrau]

All the talk about roast chicken has me mulling an idea I saw online recently, hard to necessarily call it a recipe. Season a jar of lemon curd with salt, pepper and any other seasonings of choice and spread over your chicken before roasting. I know it must be one of those chemical reaction things, but I keep wavering between intrigued and skepticism. Maybe I'll jump in with both feet if I can pick up some lemon curd before the weather turns on us.

Last night I had a green salad with beets, hard boiled egg and red onion.
Chicken Cordon Bleu and a pitiful Trifle for dessert

Last night was a much more successful experience. We shared 1/2 dozen Chesapeake Oysters, Oyster Pot Pie (appetizer) & Pork Shank Osso Bucco w/ stone ground grits & asparagus. The star of the show was a Tropical Shrimp Salad that was included with the entree. We'd never tried anything like it. The ingredients were a perfect combination.

I think for tonight I'm going to pull some tortellini and some stock out of the freezer and chop up some veg and toss in baby spinach for a tortellini soup.

Pan sablefish, risotto, green beans.

I tried a new recipe tonight One pot chicken and rice. It was really easy to make and good. I would make it again!

DH is out, so I think I'll make myself a couple of mini LC tortilla pizzas (street taco size) in the air fryer (I can get the tortilla "crust" nice and crisp in there, then pile on the goodies!).

Never seen this cooking hack but am intrigued. Let us know how it turns out if you try it

Sounds like HA is a hit and miss experience this time . Here’s hoping it’s all uphill from here on out!

It was an exhausting kind of day. Arrived for a 9:00 am medical appt and told I had no insurance coverage- ehhh!!!!! It was on from then until about 4:30 pm when finally told (in writing) it was a mistake.

Heated up the lasagna soup (minus the noodles) and so happy I hadn’t put it in the freezer yet. No advance work for the Asian New Year party today; too busy doing stupid stuff so I’ll try to make it up later in the week. Not tomorrow though as I’ve another medical appointment.

Sheet pan sausage and peppers with spaghetti and sauce on the side. Some of us like the sausage and peppers without the noodles, some with and some with the noodles and sauce. Everyone found their combination tonight.

DD found a recipe for sausage-rigatoni bake that she wanted me to try out. It was weird... Two cans of crushed tomatoes, 4 tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar, Italian spices, a pound of sweet Italian sausage, and a stick of butter go in a 9X13 pan in the oven, uncovered, at 350 for 45 minutes. Stir well, add 1 cup of water and a pound of uncooked rigatoni, stir well, cover, bake for 25-ish minutes. Top with mozzarella and put back in the oven to melt. It took forEVer and tastes just like it would have if I browned the meat in a frying pan, added it to the sauce, boiled up the rigatoni, and threw it all together, in about half the time. Everyone liked it, but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the noodles. Oh well... that, a bag of salad, and a loaf of sesame seed encrusted french bread and voila! Supper!!
[The stick of butter thing still throws me...]

Tonight we had oven roasted salmon and asparagus, basmati rice, and a bagged salad. Simple and came together quickly.

I am tucking this one away. Looks delish!

Crab balls (app), shrimp & carnitas tacos.

 

[Meriweather]

Have you had any good food?

We tried Taylor Farms stir fry teriyaki with noodles. It was so yummy. I added some leftover chicken to it. The bag looks like salad kit and included noodles that you microwave then toss in the wok with the veggies and a lovely sauce. We had some leftover scallions and cilantro that I used to top it . I’m definitely getting it again! Plus they were on sale 2 for $5! I see they now have the kits at Walmart as well.

Chicken cutlets tonight and will be lunch during the week and another dinner. It's been a rough week with our car getting totaled in a parking lot by a complete idiot trying to pass us on the right while we were pulling into a spot and my dad coming down with bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection. I am quite ready for the universe to give us a much needed break and to get take out, but we have to get a new car so take out isn't happening. Sigh.

Oh no. Hope you are all ok.

I never even thought of making that with noodles. We have sweet Italian sausage, peppers and sweet onions on a grinder sub roll topped with provolone.

Tried a crockpot recipe for Beef and Barley soup and it’s a keeper!

I can't believe how well the risotto came out last night. Instead of looking up a fancy recipe, I used the one on the arborio rice container -- it's the first time my husband reached for seconds of anything rice.

SIL is staying with us for a week, so I'm a bit on "visitor" mode in cooking. Steak tonight with leftover risotto and broccoli. DH will grill the steaks.
