What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[NYCgrrl]

Decided to start cooking this morning before my helper got here and doing pretty well. Good thing D. set up the kitchen before she left yesterday which makes my life easier.

Stared into the somewhat stuffed fridge and decided to make some side dishes that should go well w/ or w/o the gumbo. One potato equals potato salad for at least 2 servings. 6 to 8 ozs of green beans mixed w/ the smoked ham will give me smothered greens.

Love using up those lil bits that like to hide in the veggie bin turning it into a science project

Heading to Walmart after work today to get stuff to cook for tomorrow. Just the traditional New Year's Day foods (ham, cornbread, cabbage, black-eyed peas). We'll make all that tomorrow, but DW wants to eat out tonight. So I think we're going to do Olive Garden since we have a gift card we got for Christmas.

Happy Birthday to your DH

Thanks ladies. I'll pass it along to him.

We've decided to order wings & veggies w/dip from a local restaurant for our contribution to the NYE party tonight.

I’m back from a fun few days in NYC. We saw phish each night at Madison Square Garden. So we never really had dinner more like breakfast and a late lunch.

Sunday we drive down leaving around lunch time. We had Italian once we got to the city. I had pesto gnocchi. I had some peanut m&ms at set break and some Chex mix at the hotel late night.

Monday I had lemon ricotta pancakes for breakfast. I had a challah grilled cheese with fries and a mule before the show. I had an ice cream cone at set break and a piece of pizza after the show.

Tuesday I had berry French toast for breakfast. I had shrimp and veggie noodle bowl before the show. I had a soft pretzel at set break. We drove home after the show. I had some Chex mix on the ride home.

I feel like eating becomes odd when I see several shows in a row

This morning I had a bagel I brought home with me for breakfast. Tonight I’m making seared scallops with mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus.

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!

Well the BC lasagna was approved by DS as well! There was one slice left he took to work for supper. I froze the rest to have another time.
Tonight we’re having a whole roasted chicken with rice and a veggie.

Today is DH's birthday. We have a game tonight, so he wanted takeout from the restaurant in his hometown that was his childhood favorite. Yeah, that restaurant has been around a looonnnng time. DS picked it up & treated us. DH ordered chicken tenders w/gravy, mashed potatoes, okra & hushpuppies. DS ordered chicken tenders, potato salad, okra & a biscuit. I really wanted the tenders w/gravy, but decided that wasn't a good idea & ordered a grilled chicken salad instead. DS also picked him up a cake on the way home.

Happy Birthday to your DH!

Glad your DS liked it too! We have some in our freezer from Christmas Eve and my two sons will take it with them when they head back to their places this weekend. We're heading to my SIL for games and apps tonight. I'm bringing wings. Happy New Year everyone!

We always eat junk food on NYE -- popcorn shrimp, mini quiche, pizza rolls, pot stickers, mini corn dogs, wings, etc. My husband will make milk shakes.

We had Taco Bell tonight.

We had Olive Garden. Had a gift card we had gotten for Christmas, split the lasagna, added a soup for DW (I had the free salad) and we got out of there for $10 not counting a tip. Then just came home and relaxed. Now watching the midnight fireworks.

Probably no dinner tonight. Family lunch today. We usually do it on NYE, but 2 had to work.

Appetizers (junk food mostly). Every one gets a pick and then I add more.

Taquitos, Perogies, egg rolls, jalapeno poppers, tater tots, Habanero corn muffins, mini corn dogs, cheese and crackers, chips and salsa, Zebra corn, mini Bundt cakes (cut in 4ths, those from Christmas). Plus DD will bring something GF.
Now to figure out timing for getting them all in the oven.

Forgot the Pizza rolls (DGS would not like that)

My daughter who is home from Michigan has requested some of our traditional Thanksgiving dishes since she could not be here then. So we're having mashed potatoes, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, and pumpkin pie, along with the traditional ham, black-eyed peas and cabbage.

My goal this week was to make recipes I’ve never made but have been wanting try since I had the time off.
Tonight I’m making https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a46353602/jambalaya-recipe/
I have always wanted to try making this but know it’s time consuming. I actually have never really liked cooking, and if it takes too long I get frustrated. DH doesn’t mind cooking so I know he’ll help out.
Has anyone tried this recipe?
Wish me luck!!

Good luck! I haven't tried it but her recipes are usually excellent. I get frustrated with long recipes too. Not sure yet what we're having tonight. Something with thin sliced chicken breasts since that's what I have defrosted.

I haven’t tried this one but have made plenty of Ree’s recipes. They are always straightforward and good! Let us know how it goes.

Our youngest son ended up coming over for NYE dinner. That was a nice surprise.

Tonight’s dinner will be lemon chicken orzo soup and cheesy garlic breadsticks. Maybe I’ll throw together a salad to go with.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks for the encouragement!!! I also like Ree’s recipes! I made her sausage, egg, cheese and potato casserole Christmas morning. It was delicious!
