What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[cabanafrau]

I've got everything cut up and marinating for grilled chicken shish kebab with a nice green salad, probably something like cous cous on the side.

First nip in the air today, so I think I'll make cream chipped beef on toast.

Lemme get this out of the way: don’t bother making chicken tortilla soup with fresh tomatoes; kind of a waste as you could certainly put them to better use.

New home attendant today. Sigh. Apparently, I didn’t give my last permanent worker enough hours for a decent salary so she’s off to greener pastures. I get it but it’s boring telling someone where my cleaning supplies are, how to cut veggies, blah blah blah. Today’s worker was very pleasant and I felt comfortable letting her pick most of the produce at the farmer’s market.
We knocked off a good bunch of work ( cut kernels off corn cobs, portioned soups for freezer, stuck a pork roast in the oven) and sorry I’ll probably never see her again- the goodies always have the pick of their full time jobs and prefer sleepover positions.

Anyway she helped me set a nice table for self and served me spaghetti Bolognese with a green salad on the side.

Beef stroganoff using leftover steak from the day other night.

There was a shrimp boil this weekend we still have leftovers of (the sausage and potatoes). I picked up fresh corn from a farm stand.

So, going to chop up the leftovers, boil the corn and then de-cob it, and then toss the chopped leftovers and corn together and make a hash of it. Will serve an egg on top. Not sure why there was no corn left in the leftovers - I was not at the shrimp boil this time and they forgot to do so much - no garlic, tiny bit of Old Bay, maybe no corn?

I love this idea, never even occurred to me despite being right in front of me.

Just a simple spaghetti tonight with leftover green salad from last night.

Not sure....Dh is getting a medical procedure done....shouldn't take too long but we left really early so I didn't get any thing out of the freezer.
We have leftover sauce and noodles so will probably be that and a salad.

@Minnesota! Great idea hashing corn kernels

One beefsteak tomato has been winking at me from the windowsill it’s sunning on so I succumbed. Made a tomato sandwich with mayo and pepper
Life should always be so good.

Grilled BBQ chicken, DH is going to fry up the rest of the mustard greens & I'm going to make another Caprese salad with the leftovers from last night.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Tonight I'm making fried chicken cutlets, baked potatoes, and fresh corn on the cob. Dinner is not until 8:30 in my house, but I guess I'd better get my butt in gear soon. I have to shuck the corn and get the oven heating and the potatoes scrubbed.

DH had a brisket burger and I had a black bean burger with cheese, pickles, and tomatoes. We had a cucumber and tomato salad with it.

I’m hoping to harvest the rest of the potatoes this week. You never know what you’ll get but the first bag was great so hoping for a good harvest. I’ll need a potato recipe plan soon!

Tonight was a grilled cheese sandwich and a slice of Key Lime pie.

Key lime pie is my favorite dessert! I’m super jealous!

DH wanted comfort food & chose tonight's menu. Fried potatoes w/onions, pintos & cornbread.

 

[Meriweather]

DH has to eat light tonight, so he wanted pancakes and eggs

With my dad's increasing health issues, the new normal for the foreseeable future is for DH and I to go to my parents' house on Tuesday directly after work to cook dinner, then stay over (I'm off on Wednesdays and plan to help in the home and with errands, drs appts, etc.) and then make dinner again Wednesday night. We will leave from my parents' house to head straight to work on Thursday mornings. DH and I share a car and work at the same place which is why this is is the gameplan. All this to say, planning is going get interesting since now I have to take into account my parents' tastes/preferences two nights a week and really be prepared on Thursdays to avoid take out/eating out. I have to get very organized because I have to plan work day breakfast and lunches to be packed accordingly for the days we will be at home and away from home. It's going to be an adventure. Thankfully DH is very supportive, easy going, and helpful and I'm not figuring this all out alone.
