Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and salad.

Took some corn chowder out of the freezer, added some clams to it and dinner was on the table in no time.

pizza casserole with Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, red bell pepper, onion, black olives, mozzarella ....and a green salad

Tonight is a Slimming World fakeaway, chicken tikka masala dirty fries. Homemade chips/fries with tikka masala marinated chicken, a tikka masala sauce drizzled over the top and a salad.

We've got wind, humidity, warm and thunderstorms on the way before a big cooldown. The pressure and the pollen equal massive headache. I plan to see if I can get away with omelettes for dinner -- maybe even just veggie scrambled eggs if DH ends up taking over.

More chicken thighs.

Got a great deal - buy one package, get 2 free - a little less than $1/lb.

I’m thinking of making a stir-fry with whatever veggies and protein I have on hand. Super quick, and you can throw in whatever you’ve got in the fridge

BBQ Ribs on the grill. Haven’t figured out sides yet.

 

[evilmommie]

Asian chicken bowls and I'll make up some potstickers.

Tonight is something with turkey burger. I haven't decided if it will be turkey burgers, or stacked queso tacos.

Last night was homemade stromboli and fries.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Tonight will be a Caribbean style oxtail stew with coconut rice. I wuvvvv rice cooked this way so made sure to only cook 1/4 cup; too easy to OD on otherwise, lol. Dessert will be mango slices with vanilla gelato.

I love coconut rice. How do you make yours?

Edit: do you have any texture issues when cooking a small amount of rice?

Grill kielbasa for DH, black bean burger for me with pesto pasta salad.

The best side for ribs is more ribs!

Pork carnitas tonight served with white rice and corn & black bean salsa.

I don’t follow a recipe when cooking most Caribbean foods but this link has the proportions right: https://caribbeanpot.com/easy-and-delicious-coconut-rice-recipe/

I don’t use any dried fruit but that’s a personal choice. If you can’t find coconut cream just use coconut milk as a substitute.
Use any long grain rice such as jasmine, basmati or Carolina’s but not a parboiled rice such as Uncle Ben’s or Minute Rice. Make sure the pot cover remains in place for the final minutes. You are looking for your rice to “crater”-with small holes between clumps of grains. When that happens your rice is completely cooked neither mushy or crunchy and the water has dissipated.

Baked honey mustard chicken, green beans and sweet potatoes for tonight.
