What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[LoveDaisy]

Homemade Mac and cheese with a green salad tonight. DH has been asking for Mac and cheese and it was kind of raw today so a good day for it.

DH wanted chilaquiles, so he had that.
I had Real Good chicken strips and green salad

Tonight it was eggplant rollatini and a roasted veggie salad.

Tonight was marinated london broil, brown rice (which isn't brown rice at all but just cooked in beef consomme, but that's what we call it), and corn. Parents ate well. My mom has been really pleased that my dad has been eating really well when we are here so that's motivation to keep up the meal planning and helping them out.

Today was stupid. I got to work at 7 and left at 6:30, then our contractor just stopped by to measure something. I grabbed Moe’s on the way home and we quickly ate it before he got here.

Chef Salad

 

[wabbott]

Burgers, grilled. Mrs. wabbott has a talent for seasoning the patties perfectly every time. Always the proper amount of salt and pepper.

 

[Giraffe_Zen]

Chicken BBQ and Fries.

Tonight is a big pot of chili (homemade) with cornbread (from a box) on the side. It's the first couple of really cooler days here and chili seemed appropriate.

 

[Meriweather]

Chicken rolls ups.....marinated chicken, grilled.
Then placed on a flour tortilla and topped with cheese, pico de gallo and a dipping sauce.

 

[Giraffe_Zen]

Chicken soft tacos and tortilla chips.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Roasted spaghetti squash and served with Shanghai style pork, cuke slices and leftover roasted veggies with a peanut butter hoisin sauce on top.

Elder sister gave me the pre made Mister Jiu’s sauce as a gift and it’s really tasty.
Had a scoop of lemon gelato for dessert.

I pounded out some chicken breast and stuffed them with stuffing, rolled them brushed with some melted butter and then rolled in bread crumbs and baked them with spaetzle and broccoli.

Taco Salad tonight

 

[dizneegirl]

I made pumpkin sausage soup last night... really hit the spot, and there's a ton more.

Time to make the stock which will clear up a nice amt of freezer space now that the “ossuary” has been removed, lol.

First up is the chicken stock as there were more bones and parts than any other meat. One batch is simmering in the slow cooker as I type.

Bought some oxtail and neck bone to make beef stock. That’ll get started in the pressure cooker in a bit.

Defrosting the pork bones to make a Chinese stock for soups (wonton and sweet+sour probably) and that will happen tomorrow with the idea of all stocks being completed by Saturday.

I’ve a head of cabbage that needs using. Planned to make stuffed cabbage but was informed not wanted by DGD. I bet she thinks she’s Queen for a Day, . Actually, wanted to make it for vacation so onto a new use for the cabbage.
Looks like I’ve everything needed for cabbage Parm so I’ll give that a try for tonight’s dinner; certainly looked easy enough. Let youse know how it turned out later.

I am amazed and impressed by your dedication to homemade stock. I get mine out of a box.

Tonight is baked fish with peppers, tomatoes, and onions which were marinated overnight in Italian dressing. We eat it over white rice with more dressing on the side.

Oh don’t be!
I can use Swanson’s or Better than Bullion in a hot minute
Still there are certain soups that it’s worth the extra effort…like French onion soup or most Asian style soup as the secret to getting that “restaurant taste” is pork stock, pure or mixed with chicken. So once I’ve enough carcasses and other pieces are parts gathered together I make stock. Waste not, want not .

Yummmm to your dinner tonight. I wish there was a fishmonger closer to me and I could get off the seafood kick. Enjoy!!
