What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[evilmommie]

I’ll repost my menu from the Thanksgiving menu thread.
We hosted 12 people today for dinner. Lot’s of fun & shenanigans were had…

Starters: warm artichoke spinach dip with pita chips & a large charcuterie…2 meats, 3 cheeses & all of the fun accompaniments. Ie, crackers, jam, olives, almonds, berries….

Mains: 2 large Turkey breasts done on the Traeger & a honey baked ham

Sides: Mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, roasted sweet potatoes, pan seared green beans w/ bacon & garlic confit, stuffing, sourdough rolls, orange cranberry sauce & a harvest salad.

Desserts: pumpkin & pecan pie and a cookie tray.

I made everything from scratch except for the rolls. They came from my neighbors home bakery.

We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner as well. Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams, corn, and pumpkin pie for dessert.

Leftovers. Duh!

We don't have any leftovers as we went to my boyfriend's sister's house and didn't bring anything back with us, so we're doing Mongolian ground beef with noodles.

Hot Chicken Salad that was supposed to be from Wed. but never got to it. And a salad

Leftovers. Duh!

The same for us. The only difference is we'll turn the mashed potatoes into potato cakes to serve underneath the pork.

We are supposed to be 7 for supper, but it's looking like only 4, or maybe even just the two of us. I was planning on leftover corn chowder but there isn't enough for 7, so I also made a tortellini soup. Good thing it all "keeps" well... 3 gallons of soup is a lot of soup for just the two of us!
Also greens w/lemon dressing and Grands biscuits (bought 2 rolls but will only use one... or none if it's just DH and me).

>I think everyone is worn out from yesterday, and with more "family weekend holiday celebration" to come on Saturday and Sunday, they just need a break. I get it... and the soup will keep.

We always do leftovers on the Sunday with my parents. Not sure what we’re doing tonight. Maybe takeout.

Just got back from the grocery store. My family ate me out of house & home yesterday. I sent them home with most of the leftovers. I kept some for hubs & I, but after cooking for 3 days...I went simple for tonight. Sirloin burgers, salad and tater tots!

I'm still exhausted from yesterday. Tonight is frozen pizzas.

I went grocery shopping, I got all my holiday baking supplies. This is my favorite day of the year to grocery shop. There is no one there!

I made my first batch of Christmas cookies today. Gooey chocolate butter cookies.



We had leftovers. I had an open face Turkey sandwich. DH had a turkey leg, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and carrots.

Grands biscuits (bought 2 rolls but will only use one... or none if it's just DH and me).

have you tried the frozen grands? I just discovered these recently-i LOVE them for when I just want a 2-4 and don't want to waste a can. handy to keep in a ziplock bag in the freezer and cook up just like their pop and fresh buddies.


we as well are doing leftovers. tomorrow is the traditional (in our house) 'leftover casserole' which i'm not a huge fan of so I will also be making a batch of thanksgiving soup.

Thanks for mentioning this. I haven’t seen them but I am going to look for them. I often just want 2 and rarely buy them because I feel wasteful.

I did notice in the refrigerator section with the canned biscuits they had mini pizza crusts (I think it was 8 in a can). I was thinking of making them on Sunday for football watching. I’ll report back.

Tonight will be a knock-off of Applebee's Chicken Roll-ups

We ended up with pizza last night and decorated for Christmas .
Tonight we have a wedding. Wonder what’s for dinner

For Thanksgiving my mom picked up a "free" 22 lb turkey at BJs for me to prepare. With only 7 of us at dinner, we still have a lot of turkey left over. I sent some home with our sons. My parents didn't want any so we'll have it again tonight and them I'll make soup with the rest.

 

[hardcorestitch]

More leftovers. Duh!

 

[LoveDaisy]

Went out shopping for small business Saturday. When I got home I made chocolate chip cookies. I was not motivated to make dinner but managed to make what I had planned.

Chicken Parmesan with pasta, salad, and garlic bread.

 

[evilmommie]

Went shopping today while hubby golfed! Gorgeous day here in South OC. Don’t feel like cooking what I had on the menu, so I’ll be making sandwiches from our Tday leftovers.

Happy Saturday, y’all!

Went out to play pickleball with my wife and younger son and some neighbors tonight and the three of us went out for sushi afterwards. Son is heading back to college tomorrow sometime, but will be back in 2 weeks or so after finals.
