What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[LoveDaisy]

Taco Tuesday. DH had ground beef and I had black bean and we had them with Spanish rice.

I slipped a disc Friday, so DH has been cooking. He normally grills, which he's very good at. DS forgot that Dad is doing the cooking & suggested spaghetti w/ garlic bread tonight. He said he'd give it a try. Wish us luck.

ETA: I have to give him credit. The spaghetti was really good.

One soup in, one soup out.
Yesterday, in a frenzied burst of energy, I finished portioning the oxtails and soup then into the freezer they went. As retaliation, I removed a chicken gumbo portion and add some frozen shrimp. I can actually see the bottom of one third of the freezer! .

Will be a rinse and repeat moment as the chicken parts still need to be cooked and frozen; they’re brining right now.

Tonight is meatloaf. First time I'll be trying it in a crock pot. DH is the one that eats it the most, so we'll see how it goes.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Just wanted to say, I love your adventures with food and I bet it would be a wonderful experience to enjoy the meals you create. I hope they're as good for you as they seem they'd be.

I agree. I often wish she was cooking my meals.

Rainy here, so it's pasta primavera tonight.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Baked spaghetti (made out of leftover spaghetti) & Caesar salad.

 

[LoveDaisy]

Pasta for us too! Pasta with meat sauce and salad.

It’s not really soup weather, but I made the vegetable soup recipe from the back of the Barilla ditalini pasta box and it came out so good. Ate it with a loaf of Italian bread for dipping.

Rigatoni with Sausage and Chives, from America's Test Kitchen. I make this a couple of times a month. One of our favorites.

Today my regular home attendant called in sick although I give her many many kudos for haunting the staffing agency to call in a replacement. Her stand in arrived on time so of course my transport was late .

Most of her shift was spent waiting for transport, for medical staff and finally we drove home with no time for cooking. I suspect Layla, my regular, will be happy as she wants to learn how to make Asian style cold fried chicken with the brined meat from yesterday. Uhh which is going with me to WDW . So the upshot is I cooked nothing but did buy an open faced ham, turkey and Swiss on whole wheat with creamy slaw on the side; serious comfy food.

Sloppy Joes, chips and dip, orange dream ice cream for dessert. All very yummy.

It ain't pretty around here, but we aren't eating out at least and DH and I aren't starving. Leftover teriyaki taco for me. Another homemade breakfast sandwich for DH. We don't eat breakfast during the week (DH might eat something sweet as a late morning snack) so breakfast for dinner is fine two nights in a row. Going to have to get it together this weekend, but the next two nights will continue to be fly by the seat of our pants to use up odds and ends.

 

[mumto3girls]

Still in a large house with 34 other people. Tonight the men were in charge—hamburgers, hotdogs and tater tots.

 

[goooof1]

Turkey Kielbasa with cabbage and onion; along with crescent rolls.

 

[cabanafrau]

Temps have finally dipped here, so I think eggplant parm should work out nicely tonight.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Believe tonight is pork fried rice.

 

[Meriweather]

Bacon Ranch Salad

 

[LoveDaisy]

Tonight was nachos to use up the leftovers from tacos.

Layla (my home attendant) is back and my world is better for her return.

Helped me make deviled ham and we learned why it’s better to use a food processor over a Vitamix blender. Began processing the berries for sorbet and put the brined chicken to drain on a wire racked sheet pan. Portioned the rest of the chicken parts and placed in the freezer.
A nice bit of work accomplished in her 5 hours not counting her regular house-tending chores minus the vacuum that the weekend attendant inadvertently broke (sigh).

Not that hungry so another frozen soup portion: chicken tortilla with kale added.
A cup of pineapple bits for dessert.
