What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[LoveDaisy]

My parents just left. Wonderful to spend the day with them!

For breakfast I made cinnamon rolls and Mini candy cane pastry

My parents asked for appetizers so I made Brie bites (Brie wrapped in crescent rolls), pigs in a blanket, Caesar cups, potato puffs (my mom made these), charcuterie board (cheese from Madison cheese shop), orange shortbread with cranberry relish, Junior cheesecake , and a cookie platter.

One of the last meals of 2026 with the associated ups and downs, .
Planned to make a traditional horseradish sauce but neglected to make the crème fraiche in advance (whadda dunce!) so put some heavy cream in a jelly jar making whipped cream and added the horseradish and lemon to it. Worked fine, thank goodness. Ate off paper plates since I was too lazy to clean another dish and since I’m tired of sampling martinis opened up a bottle of Champagne and added a bit of Trisha Yearwood’s Christmas Cup cocktail syrup to it. Not bad.

We had dinner at my boyfriend's uncle's house. I had prime rib, stuffing, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and green beans. There was also chocolate cake for dessert.

You must be close to DFW. That's what we're dealing with here too.

Our dinner tonight was pecan pie. We had a big Christmas Day lunch at Saltgrass around 2, so we just weren't hungry for anything major. So we just ate pie. Don't normally do that, but it's Christmas.

I worked today. I ate a plate of leftover Chicken parm with a tiny bit of linguini after I got home.

 

[Meriweather]

Tonight is light and simple. Caprese sandwiches. I'm tired of cookies, so they went in the freezer to slowly come. DD took home the ones she can eat.

Christmas dinner was blackened ribeyes on the grill and fried spinach with olive oil and garlic. Just had a friend over as my brother's family was away so small Christmas with a friend.

Tonight, whipping up some General Tso's chicken. Chicken thighs cut into chunks, brined and seasoned in a freezer bag since last night, then egg-batter dipped and rolled in corn starch and seasonings, dropped in the deep fryer, taken out and then re-fried a second time. Drenched in General Tso sauce (hoisin, soy, honey, red pepper, chicken broth, sugar, rice vinegar, garlic) and served over steamed white rice. Serves at least 4 and I'll be eating it just for me, so I'll have lots of leftovers. Tomorrow night, two friends coming over for late Christmas and I've got my homemade chicken parm thawing out from last week to serve with angel hair pasta. Brother returns Sunday and we'll get together for beef tacos.

Love, love reading everyone’s festive dinners & snacks! Anyone planning a menu for NYE?

I’m happy to be chilling at the moment with no dinner menu for tonight or plans. Just a cup of coffee! I have left over tri tip, so tacos will definitely happen this weekend. Think I’m going to have hubby take me out for a bit to eat later. If, I can get out of my lounge wear.

TGIF, all!

Think we're going to freeze the rest of the buffalo chicken lasagna. We finished off the meatballs and sausages today for lunch in sub rolls. We're all needing something lighter for dinner so I think we're doing taco salads.

 

[zackiedawg]

Sounds like you do a nicer, leaner taco salad. My taco salads are delicious, but definitely NOT lighter - they're lettuce filled with seasoned ground beef, cheddar cheese, onions, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, and tortilla chips. I often need a lighter meal the next night after I do taco salads for dinner!

We are making buffalo chicken pizza and a garlic pizza tonight.

 

[LoveDaisy]

I’m making loaded baked potato soup and salad for dinner.

I have an Eggnog Cheesecake in the oven. Going to a friends for dinner tomorrow. I haven’t made this before so I’m hoping it turns out well.

That cheesecake looks delicious.

That cheesecake looks delicious.

I’ll let you know tomorrow how it turned out.

We had air fryer chicken wings and leftover carrots and potatoes
I was too exhausted to cook tonight.
