What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[tarheelmjfan]

DH had to drive to a jobsite & back today, so he picked up a family meal at Sonny's BBQ courtesy of his company food per diem. We'll be choosing from: pulled pork, sliced pork, bbq ribs, potato salad, mac-n-cheese, baked beans, fried okra & garlic toast.

Lamb chops with dukkah finally on the menu.
A bit of pomegranate molasses, a wedge of lemon and this mommy is living in happy happy joy land!

Made a 1/2 quart of cream of asparagus soup with the last of a bunch of roasted veggies to go with the grilled meat.

Sounds delicious.

Ricotta Gnocchi with Prosciutto and sauté Asparagus & Shallots. Recipe calls for potato, but I prefer Ricotta as isn't as heavy.

Leftover Ham and turkey from easter and Panara Broccoli cheddar soup

We had a rotisserie chicken from Costco. I ate mine over a Trader Joe’s salad kit and DH and DD had mashed potatoes and gravy with theirs.

That sounds great. I love prosciutto. Do you have a recipe?

We had chicken breasts stuffed with broccoli and cheddar, roasted asparagus, and rice pilaf.

Finished off last night’s cream of asparagus soup with a tuna Niçoise salad.
Wish I’d some asparagus left to eat with the salad but the green beans went nicely anyway.

Kid and husband gone again tonight.

Indoor grill pan, threw a few frozen falafel, a half a yellow onion in slices, and a handful of shishito peppers.

Grilled them all, added a squeeze of lime to it all.

Made a mayo/lemon/Worcestershire dipping sauce. Threw a few falafel, some onion, some dipping sauce on a roll, too. And had some sharp cheddar on the side. Dipped the shishito in the mayo sauce.

Girl dinner.

And it was damn delicious.

Goat curry w/ rice & peas & mixed vegetables from the Jamaican restaurant across the street.

Leftover night here......but there were no leftovers.
I had a chicken sandwich out of the freezer.
DH isn't home yet. I had taken pulled pork out of the freezer for him. He ate some for lunch and put the rest back in the freezer, so not sure what he is having. There are 4 leftover pancakes....we'll see

Hope the attachment below shows up. I'm cooking for only 2 so I cut down the gnocchi, etc. I switch between pancetta and prosciutto. I buy diced at Wegman's. Use them in eggs too.
I do keep the liquid for 4 instead of cutting it in half. Was too dry IMHO. I also add a little white wine. Garlic and cheese can be done to taste.
P.S. I keep bottled lemon juice & usually use that in most recipes ( along as it doesn't ask for lemon zest.)

The attachment worked. Thanks for the detailed alterations. DH agreed that it sounds good. If I don't get a chance to make it this weekend, I'll give it a try the next time we're at home.

Throwing together some stuffed zucchini

Nice! I love zucchini - small like in your picture, not the huge, nasty ones people try to pawn off on me from their gardens. I'll never understand why everybody doesn't just harvest them while they're still worth eating.

We had zucchini tonight too - in a shrimp curry recipe from Hello Fresh. It was wonderful and delivered on all the promises: quick, nicely spicy, low carb and low cal.

Tonight is DH's birthday dinner with the family. Going out for Mexican food.

Breakfast for dinner. I am getting burned out thinking of ideas and DH is tired of eating the same things. DD say breakfast sausage at a good price and suggested it

Your goal is my goal

Pretty sure I took the last of the ratatouille out of the freezer yesterday so it’s on the menu as a side.

Roasted a whole chicken today so a bit of that with the veggies and all is well.
