What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[Meriweather]

Yesterday was leftover Hot dogs and Ancini de Pepe fruit salad from Sunday.

Today DH and I are going to dinner for my Birthday. We don't want to venture too far because DH has to work early in the AM so Olive Garden it is! I like it there, plus I am having a craving for their Chicken and Gnocchi soup. I'll probably order an extra bowl to take home.

Tomorrow we are going to my MIL's house for dinner to celebrate my Birthday with her and my SIL and BIL and maybe our nephews. Then there is a free concert in the park that we will likely go to. They are usually a nice night out.

Happy Birthday

Dinner tonight was at Sebago Brewing. DH and I shared an order of gyoza and a caprese flat bread. It was pretty good.

Finally made it to the farmers’ market this morning. Wasn’t enamored with the tomatoes but the corn looked good so got some. Made some corn chowder with ham and bacon in it as well as used up some leftover Serrano pepper for tonight’s meal as well as a mini peach cobbler for dessert.

Could you please share your chowder recipe? Thanks!

I grilled burgers last night. Dh made them for his camping trip with ds. We were SUPPOSED to have the turkey burgers that I had in the freezer. DH mixed up the two packages and will be very disappointed when he realizes he took the turkey burgers to the campground. I can’t even warn him because they have no service up there. (But I must say…his burgers were delicious!)

Leftovers last night. I ate alone. Hubby is really sick. I told him he needed to go to the urgent care a few days ago. Guess who woke me up to take him to urgent care this AM?

Assuming my delay start works on my oven (first time using it), we'll be having slow cooked St. Louis ribs and spaetzle tonight. If it doesn't work, we're having spaetzle tonight.

Could you please share your chowder recipe? Thanks!

This is a nice basic recipe to riff on to your hearts content. If you’ve never used the corn cobs to make the broth, it’ll be a real eye opener. I also add corn husks (but not silk) to the cob water because someone suggested it-she was right! Probably the silk adds even more flavor but it’s too much work and yep I’m generally too lazy. A bay leaf is nice as well.

I use pre cooked ham and crispy bacon for a texture difference but one is just as fine. Easy to make the soup richer by adding the dairy product of your choice: sour cream, heavy cream, crème fraiche, yogurt, etc.

Nice with or without meat which could also be shrimp, leftover roast chicken or your favorite white fish filets. Lovely with whole clams too.

Finally, if you’d like it a little spicy put some minced jalapeño pepper in but remove the white pith since that’s where most of the heat is.

Have fun making it your own.

PS: Not using fresh corn? So replace corn broth with chicken broth and an equal amt of frozen or canned corn.

We are having a NY strip steak salad with grilled romaine lettuce as the base. Finishing off a leftover bottle of sparkling rose with the meal. Apparently, DGD has been drinking wine since she arrived in France so since she’ll turn 21 in September no putting the genie back in the bottle.
Oh, for any “bubbleheads” out there, it’s Bugey-Cerdon, and makes a nice anytime summer wine at a decent price.

We’ll finish off the peach cobbler, warm the way DGD likes it with vanilla gelato for dessert.

Well, we picked the grand kids up from camp and took them out to lunch. The first 2 places weren't open, so we ended up with Chili's.
Dinner change since we are now full! Maybe just a salad

Decided to just have some cantaloupe for dinner

I had some ground turkey I needed to use up, so I was lazy and made one pot spaghetti but with cavatappi. Easy peasy. Now I will have leftovers when the patient is ready to eat a regular meal again.
