What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[texaslover]

Just got back from a beach vacay so eating whatever we have in the fridge and pantry that is still good. Looks like HEB Lemon Greek Chicken Soup with some sharp cheddar and smoked gouda with crackers.

Menu got thrown a bit off course so we had the honey lime chicken cutlets on the grill tonight with leftover rice. It was an excellent fairly light meal.

Tonight, it’s lamb chops, succotash and mashed potatoes for most but DGD gets a substitute protein, chicken cutlet.
Fruit for dessert.

Pulled out my pressure cooker and made oxtails, Jamaican style which is always better when it sits in the pot resting for a day or two.

I went to the grocery store this morning and have a big package of ground sirloin to break down. I will probably use some of it for a burger tonight.

Grilled chicken with bbq sauce (sweet vidalia onion sauce for DH, regular sweet baby rays for me). I'll finish up the left over white rice. DH will have fries in the air fryer.

roast beef that has been in the crock pot since this morning.....gravy in it too.
Will also have mashed potatoes (a rare treat here) and some kind of vegetable.
I do have a bunch of plums to do, so that might be my dessert

We met some friends at a vineyard (weather is lovely today!) we had an assortment of snacks. I brought a veggie platter with garden veggies. They also had a food truck and I had some loaded fries. They were not needed but were delicious!

Tex-mex early date night with the hubby. I had the combo plate with a cheese enchilada and taco and an ice cold Mexican Martini.

Jerk chicken, callaloo ( it’s in the spinach family) and coconut rice on the menu tonight. Son said it was a cheat using frozen grated coconut but has already been sneaking tastes from the pot sooo I guess it’s fine, lol.
Fruit for dessert.

Wiener Kraut.....which is sliced smoked sausage cooked with chopped bell pepper, apples, onion, shredded cabbage with a spice blend and apple juice.

Roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, and cornbread stuffing.

I made chocolate chip cookies too.

@NYCgrrl I wish I was your neighbor so we could share meals! I'll buy ingredients, you do the cooking, and I'll arm-wrestle you for clean-up duty! Your meals always sound fantastic to me (and I'm also jealous that you live in NYC- every time we go, I look around and scheme on how I could earn enough money to live there!).

I am finally on the mend from Covid but don't have much appetite, and DD/SIL have been packing all day (they bought a house and are moving out signing on Wednesday), so dinner is breakfast for supper, by default. Everyone can make their own eggs when they are ready, there are frozen waffles, frozen protein pancakes (gotta keep the resident 8 year old well protein-ated), bacon to cook, sausages to throw in the microwave. DD can't eat eggs but there are folded justEggs, so she'll make a sandwich. English muffins, toast, bagels. Sort of an organized DIY supper. It'll do... but some night soon, I'm going to get my birthday dinner (even if it's in Disney next weekend)!

Son went to the market today and came back with a large amt of ground meats (beef, pork, veal) so apparently, I’m making sauce Bolognese and meatballs.

Works for me as it’s the time of the year I do this even though I still still haven’t emptied out the freezer. Hopefully, the kiddos will help me complete the task.

Today we were down the shore for a variety of social media commitments. Weather was beautiful and it was a lovely day catching up with people. Planned an early dinner out at a crab shack on the water that has great happy hour specials 2-4pm before we drove home. I packed breakfast, drinks, and snacks for us for the day so not too bad all things considered. Plenty to snack on at home if we get a little hungry later.

BLTs for dinner with capris salad. Tomatoes are out of control I have 60 on my counter. I’ll make salsa tomorrow and see what’s left after that.

If we lived close, I would ask you for some green tomatoes so I could make a green tomato pie. They are impossible to find where I live.

We're having a simple dinner tonight -- angel hair pasta with marinara sauce, corn, and Caesar salad; ice cream for dessert.

I would be happy to share! Now that you mention it I never see green tomatoes. I don’t see them at the farmers markets near me.

Taking advantage of the beautiful weather again today we had a few friends over for some patio time. I served a cheese platter, veggie platter (using those garden veggies!), shrimp cocktail, bacon wrapped scallops, capris skewers, and cheesecake.

I'll arm-wrestle you for clean-up duty!

Let’s see..if you win that means you clean, right?

First day in a long time that it's been cool enough to want to run the oven. We had a good, old-fashioned Sunday roast beef dinner with luscious gravy and Yorkshire Pudding.
