What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[NYCgrrl]

Made some shrimp scampi with orzo and broccoli.
Even though I don’t have to wash the dishes it’s still fun figuring out how to transform a dish into a one pot meal.

Pad Thai. I'm taking 10 before actually cooking it, but everything is prepped. I think I need an outdoor kitchen. I cook a lot of dishes that don't smell so great while being made, and this is one of them. Our house smells like fish sauce right now.

We had our big meal for lunch today. Hollywood Brown Derby. We both had Cobb Salad ...and DH got a slice of grapefruit cake because it's his birthday. , , ,

We're having cobb salad tomorrow (wish it were at Hollywood Brown Derby, but we'll just be at home.)

Acme's "cheep chicken deal" - 8 pieces for $6.99. Fries from the air fryer- sweet potato for me and regular for DH. Plenty of chicken will be leftover for another meal.

Ha. The other night we also had an 8 piece $6.99 chicken dinner from our store (Jewel….the name, not that it’s a jewel). Funny thing is I’m crazy about sweet potato fries and DH wouldn’t touch one if you paid him so he gets regular fries.

I make Cobb salad at home too.....using the Brown Derby recipe in one of the Disney cookbooks

Spaghetti squash primavera

Lazy daisy yet again here. Just gonna dress up a jar of Rao's a bit and serve over spaghetti squash.

Made it for a late lunch since my kid works so early...4...and doesn't get home until 310. So, I marinated shrimp all day in lime/garlic and then threw it on an indoor grill. Also marinated sliced zuchini in a similar marinade. Also grilled those.

Served with warmed corn tortillas, chopped onion and cilantro, some lime wedges, and some shredded cabbage. Also made a spicy mayo to go with it. Tastes like summer!

We're eating dinner in our villa. I think I'm having Garlic Parmesan chicken and DH said he's having tamales

I have never had the grapefruit cake, but man it sounds soooo good right now! Happy birthday to your DH!

Planned to be roast beef but it is 80 degrees and sunny out today so switched to chicken cutlets. I'll make the roast beef tomorrow when it's supposed to be cooler and rainy.

All this reading of American breakfast for dinner decided me on what to make:
chicken and shrimp congee or jook which is a savory Asian dish traditionally served for breakfast. Great way to use up leftovers too!

 

[Meriweather]

We ate at Casey's for lunch.

My dinner was the rest of the Garlic Parmesan chicken and an apple.
DH had a pot pie.

Tonight was a Maple Walnut Bourbon Brown Sugar Salmon with a baked potato and cooked carrots. The recipe calls for green onions but I usually use shallots . I also skip the bacon in the recipe. I vary between walnuts and pecans.

DH & I have been traveling for two days, so our meals were on-the-go. Last night, we were desperate & stopped at Subway a little after 10:00, while we got gas & had a bathroom break.

Tonight we were looking for drinks for the hotel. There was a fast casual Halal restaurant next door. We picked up two platters to share. One was lamb the other was kofta kebab. Both were served over rice with salad & white sauce.

Speaking of eating on the road, the last time we were on the road, I took a break from posting. I didn't want to share in case you guys are mostly interested in home cooked meals. That would be totally understandable. We'll be on the road for at least three weeks this time, so no more home cooked meals for awhile. If you aren't interested in dine-in, take-out & the occasional nuked frozen meal, I'll be happy to just read for inspiration, but not post. Just let me know what you think. It won't offend me at all, if you mostly want to focus on meals cooked at home.

I’d still like to hear what you are having. I am always looking for inspiration!

Food is a weird favorite subject for me - whether it is from your kitchen or someone else's. Please share ...and safe travels!

For me the focus is on what is eaten not the who cooked it. I get inspiration from all sources and think I’m not alone

We're having dinner out for DD's birthday, so I might actually have an aspirational contribution for a change. The demands of three elderly parents in often precarious health along with my job have swept away many aspects of our previous lifestyle. I'm rarely motivated or inspired to cook much anymore, not that it's necessarily a tremendous loss since I'm a seat of my pants cook at best anyways.

No idea where we're eating, but I don't have to plan, shop, prepare or clean up after it, so I'm in!

Making the roast beef with some roasted white and sweet potatoes and gravy that was on tap for yesterday but we decided against since it was so warm out. Today is much better suited.

 

[AustinTink]

Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, chopped salad and garlic bread. My kid is visiting and it’s his favorite.

 

[LoveDaisy]

Pasta and meatballs with salad. Not very exciting but I premade and froze the meatballs so it makes for an easy week night dinner.
