What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[LoveDaisy]

Snow should be starting in the next few hours and soup seems like a good snowy night dinner. I’m going to make baked potato soup, I am baking the potatoes now.

Took chicken tikka out of the freezer to have with roasted asparagus and smashed cucumber salad leftovers. Still have some uncooked scallion pancakes in the fridge so I’ll fry up one of them and that will be the meal’s starch.
For dessert I’ll eat the rest of the mini ginger cream.

@cabanafrau - today is a wonderful time for asparagus

Tonight is the annual spaghetti and meatballs while we watch Lady and the Tramp.

OMG. So cute!!!

I think tonight will mostly be Happy Hour with our friends this afternoon. Local Italian restaurant that has a pretty healthy/robust social hour menu. Cheers to Saturday!

Took chicken sandwiches out of the freezer for dinner.
Grocery shopping in the morning

We had grilled red snapper with jerk seasoning, black beans & rice, fried plantains, and a green salad.

Today we're probably getting takeout, but I'm about to go downstairs and bake some banana bread. I bought some bananas last week and put a note on them telling everyone not to eat them specifically so they'd get nice and overripe, and now they're ready.

i often have bananas going too ripe, so when that happens I put them in the freezer, then have them for whenever the urge for making banana bread strikes like it did today

Got my new oven this week and am getting in some cooking.

Banana Bread
Salmon and pasta with alfredo sauce and broccoli

Marie made shepherd's pie....ground beef, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, corn, green beans, onion and a little shredded cheese on top. Excellent!

We did Applebee's Grilled Cluckin' Chicken special thing delivered. It's a pretty good deal really IMHO.

Not sure about tonight. We are celebrating DGS's birthday today and they are ordering from Red Robin, so it could be nothing for dinner or something small.

Last night I fixed king crab legs that I got from Sam’s and smashed potatoes. The crab legs were better than expected. They were precut and very meaty.

Today is my oldest’s 18th birthday. We plan to go to a steak restaurant for dinner. We got several inches of snow this morning, so hopefully roads will be cleared for us to get there.

We had dinner at Topolino’s last night. I had gnocchi with lamb appetizer and a beet heirloom salad. DH had the filet.

Happy birthday to all the Aquarians out there! I’m sure your families are feeding you well

@ddluvsdisney - going to take a look at Topolino’s menu. Your meal sounds tasty!

Snow mixed with rain and high winds. Okay, I’m in for the day, lol.
Pulled the pressure cooker out and in the process of cooking one of the easiest dinners I’ve ever made : honey- soy sauce braised pork. Basically you just pour the majority of the ingredient list in the pot and let it rip. I suspect from the smells, I’m going to have brunch instead of dinner.

Took the last of the smashed cuke salad and roasted bok choy out and will top it on another scallion pancake, and the pork when finished for an Asian taco

WF finally had lemon sorbet in stock (but no eggs) so maybe that will be dessert; we’ll see.

This weather has been crazy. We got 3-4 inches of snow overnight. Then 1/4-1/2 inch of ice early this morning and now it’s pouring rain. It was like shoveling cement, I had to crack through this thick layer of ice to free the cars, and I was soaked from the rain. Hoping everyone’s basement stays dry. Heavy rain on snow and frozen ground is never good.

I’m reheating the potato soup from last night. I did cook up some fresh bacon to go in top and I’m going to grate some cheddar. Making tacos for dinner tonight.

It's snowing like crazy right now; we are supposed to get about 8" and then ice/sleet. I'm glad tomorrow is a holiday so DH doesn't have to shovel at the crack of dawn.

DD is making wine-braised short ribs for dinner tonight. DD purees carrots, celery, and onions into the braise for the meat, along with at least half of a bottle of red wine. She is a master at this, and we'll have mashed potatoes (homemade... no box potatoes on the weekend!) and french bread to go with. I can't wait!

 

[ddluvsdisney]

We had an early dinner bc DH played golf. We ate at the FotAs booths.
