What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[fla4fun]

I thawed out the chili I froze a while back and added some pasta to make chili-mac. It’s been a gloomy day here and it really hit the spot.

Chicken salad sandwich on yeast rolls (made from leftover rotisserie chicken), sliced green apple & Babybel cheese. I'll have chips too, if DH wants them.

Busy day mostly filled with stuff I dinna want to do peopled by bureaucrats who were no more interested in me than I was with them. Such can be life.

Read an article a few days ago and decided to make a new to me recipe attached to it: Roasted Brussel sprouts and tofu with spicy lime dressing. Hubba hubba! Well, that was that worth my time and I didn’t even have to add meat to feel sated; adding to my “baby it’s cold outside” roster. Had an Asian feel so I heated up a cup of wonton soup to go with it. Have some fresh pineapple chunks and clementines on reserve for dessert if only I stop picking at the dinner leftovers, lol.

Nothing went right today. Our inspection with the town was moved to tomorrow, I left work at 5:30 instead of 4. Grabbed Moe's on my way home, I didn’t have lunch due to general madness so it was really delicious lol. I will have vanilla oranges for dessert.

Your chicken sounds great. I'm sure it was much better than ours will be. Unfortunately, I wasn't up to wrestling a whole chicken today.

I LIVE for rotisserie chicken from Sam's! On really busy/late nights I get someone who is driving home from Bangor to grab a chicken at Sam's. I will throw together some stove top, some instant mashed potatoes, and open a can of peas. Dinner. Done. If I'm feeling extra fancy, I'll open a can of cranberry sauce (yes, with the lines!)

TOnight I made leek/potato soup with mushrooms and a bit of bacon. Leftover roast chicken on the side for anyone who wanted to add it to the soup. I also rolled some cheddar cheese into the Pillsbury crescent rolls, for something different. I'd never made potato leek soup before, and it came out pretty good!

Macaroni soup.

 

[WorldWacky]

I totally forgot to leave something out to thaw, so we had some frozen, premade broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breasts that we keep on hand for busy days. Also had some rice-a-roni and green beans. I did have some of the leftover chicken noodle soup from last night for lunch.

Yum! Do you make your own General Tso's? If so, would you share the recipe?

I do.
I use Real Good Chicken. Cook it in the oven and then make the sauce.
1/2 cup water, 2 T cornstarch, 3T brown sugar, 3 T soy sauce, 2 T ketchup, 3 T Housin sauce, 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Mix. over cut up chicken and heat in micro.

I would use more pepper flakes next time

 

[NYCgrrl]

I will have vanilla oranges for dessert.

Is that a dish you make or a variety of orange?

 

[Meriweather]

Taco salad tonight

 

[leebee]

Chardonnay apple sausages from Trader Joe's, sauteed cabbage/onion, some form of starch (maybe spaetzle, maybe buttered noodles) and some peas for the resident 8 year old, who will eat the required 2 bites of cabbage and then move to some other veggie. Oh yes, and applesauce.

2 pm and I still have no plan for tonight. Maybe I can pull together some lentil tacos. Or I could make up some seasoned rice, steam a veg and dip into the stash of salmon croquettes I made and froze in last weekend's batch cooking extravaganza. They are supposed to be for rushed nights or emergencies, but I think I may be engineering the need out of sheer laziness because I know I can.

 

[NannyBeBe]

My darling daughter is making chicken enchiladas for the family tonight.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Took some lentil cacciatore out of the freezer this morning. Will serve it with brown butter gnocchi and an avocado and hearts of palm salad.

 

[Giraffe_Zen]

Tonight is hot dogs and french fries.

 

[MommaKetch]

I am making beef stew. I have made it before, as it was in my recipe binder, but I don't remember if it was amazing or just okay. I will report back if it's worth sharing.

dip into the stash of salmon croquettes I made and froze in last weekend's batch cooking extravaganza. They are supposed to be for rushed nights or emergencies, but I think I may be engineering the need out of sheer laziness because I know I can.

Yes! It's the same with me and batch cooking

 

[barkley]

the oldest left with his share of the two types of soup made yesterday. I took my share and already froze over half in quart size containers. we'll have soup for the next couple of days along with dh's sourdough.

 

[LoveDaisy]

Is that a dish you make or a variety of orange?

It is a dish I make. I supreme oranges. Then make a simple syrup, scrape 2 vanilla beans. Mix the caviar with the cooled simple syrup. Put the oranges in a container with the 2 beans and pour the simple syrup over. Let it sit overnight in the fridge. It’s like a fresh creamsicle.

 

[LoveDaisy]

Tonight we had leftovers. It’s garbage night and I wanted to clean out the fridge before my dairy order arrives tomorrow.

I made potato leek soup tonight and added ham. We had crusty bread with it. Quick and easy!
