What’s for Dinner Tonight?


Last night's dinner: Pati Jinich's Enchiladas Suizas, inspired by her childhood trips to Sanborn's in Mexico. Chicken Enchiladas with a green tomatillo sauce, and topped with Oaxaca cheese. I thought there was way too much cheese, and a bit too much sauce, but I followed this first-time recipe to the letter. Next time I'll reduce both. Flavor was fresh, vegetal, complex. A keeper!

I worked in office the last few days, so my ppl know I don't really cook those days. I had made a roast, cooked in homemade salsa, earlier this week. And then I had spanish rice and chopped tomato/onion/lime salad to make meat/rice bowls out of. I htink they had leftovers of that the last few days. Or sandwiches, I cannot recall. I had baked some potatoes and blanched some broccoli for my quick dinners. So, that was that the last few nights for me.

Today, I am home, so I have a giant vat of homemade sauce going. It smells SO good. I think I am going to make a noodle bake out of it tonight , with some fresh green beans. But, will see. I might just end up with some spag noodles and garlic bread.

Pati’s recipes are legit. This a very similar to my mom’s suizas recipe.
 
Charcuterie plates for dinner tonight. Great way to use up bits and drabs of veggies. Sent my son to Arthur Avenue, the Little Italy of the Bronx, and he picked up beauteous cold cuts.

Tomorrow he’s renting a ZipCar and we plan to visit the shoreline of Long Island Sound on the CT side. Lock up your seafood I’m on my way! 🤣
 
Grilled pork chops, baked potatoes & corn.
I was thinking portobello burgers, but seeing this has me reconsidering picking up pork chops and marinating them for the grill instead. It's been quite a while since we've done that. It will probably come as quite a surprise to my husband and I think I will get some brownie points for changing it up.

Thanks for the inspiration!
 
I have no clue. Today is one of those days I don’t feel like cooking. I had a peanut butter sandwich for brunch, and that is usually my go-to when I don’t feel like cooking. Maybe some spaghetti and meat sauce, since that is easy and I will have leftovers in case I don’t feel like cooking tomorrow too . . .
