What's for Dinner Tonight? (recipe index in OP)

[FormrCastMbr]

Oh Gretchen, what a day you have had already. I hope everyone starts feeling better soon...I think a strong drink is indeed called for...Grand Marnier comes to mind.

Kathy, great minds think alike with the chicken tonight...angel hair sounds good but we had pasta last night. Next time I'll try that.

Thanks for the well wished for T and A! We go to the doctor at 12:30.

Good Morning All!

WFD- I am thinking Pork Snitzle with Brown Gravy, Cream Corn, Garlic Mashed, & Rolls.... Can you say comfort food!

Mrs. Disney Ron

Recipe, please!!! I love pork!

 

[Glynis]

Dinner tonight will be broccoli cheddar soup with biscuits or breadsticks. We are in the middle of another snowstorm, so soup sounds good to me!

Off to vote, see y'all later.

I have a Grand Marnier slushy as my wallpaper on my computer. Also you need to rethink your initials for Tom and Andrew

I have no idea what I'm fixing for dinner tonight. I've been working most nights and last night at 10:30 I realized I didn't have anything defrosted and the fridge is bare. It needs to be simple and quick, and fairly bland. All three of the kids have come down with a bug and 2 of the 3 are now throwing up.

What a lovely morning we had. DH is taking the 2 vomiting children to the Dr. Our first therapist of the day called this morning at 6 to say she would be 2 hours late, so my baby is going to my mother's for the morning. So we spent the morning cleaning up after the 2 sick kids and packing a bag for H. After cutting some corners from my morning routine (no leg shaving, half of my makeup, only half drying my hair), I managed to make it to work only 15 minutes late which I think was pretty darn good considering. I look lovely, but I'm here.

I'm thinking chicken soup for the kids and alcohol for the adults. Any better suggestions?

I hope everyone starts to feel better soon. The flu bug seems to be very active this season.

Here are some photos from dinner last night. I had to cook the shrimp I bought for the super bowl party and forgot to make, so I went with my fallback simple grilled shrimp recipe. Here they are, marinating in garlic, olive oil, parsely, and breadcrumbs:

And here they are skewered and grilled:

I also made swordfish. I cut one steak into four very thin slices and then stuffed it with breadcrumbs, parsley, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Then I made a sauce from white wine, tomatoes, thyme, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, olives, capers, currants, and parsley, and baked the fish in that. Here it is just out of the oven:

And here it is plated on spaghetti:

This was a Mario Batali recipe and it was very good!

Tonight I have lots of leftovers to use up—some of the super bowl party’s chicken skewers and the Thai beef salad, plus a little bit of the roast pork from Friday and a few shrimp from last night. So, my plan is to make two kinds of fried rice—one with beef, pork, and shrimp for DH, and one with chicken and shrimp for me. I also am going to make some baby bok choy and some teriyaki tofu.

If your state is up today, don’t forget to vote!

Kady is not "meeting expectations" in gym either.

I'm glad Caili's not alone! I understand Caili's mark. She is just terrible at most traditional sports (even Kathy's Kyle couldn't improve her throwing!), which is a combination of lack of skill and lack of interest. She is so athletic in other ways though that I find the mark really amusing.

I'm thinking chicken soup for the kids and alcohol for the adults. Any better suggestions?

Sounds like a good plan to me. I hope your kids feel better soon and don't share with the rest of you.

Lauren -- I hope your boys get better soon. If Tom is anything like Greg when he is sick, you will need a drink too.

It is really pouring rain here today, so right now, I am thinking soup for dinner...maybe cheddar potato. If I get ambitious and go to the store, the menu might change.

 

[Aimeedyan]

Yeah for Fat Tuesday!! Tonight is pancakes, of course!

We actually have a pancake supper at church tonight and the staff serve, I usually claim the bacon so I can snack between "customers." I will eat a pancake or two as well.

Beads are flying around the office this morning - but no worries, nothing is getting flashed

Let us know how they make out. I'm thinking of them both.

Welcome Disney Lover!

Well, we are back from the doctor. Andrew has a bad cold and the start of an ear infection.

Janice, What's wrong with my T & A? I love my T & A! Yeah, I guess its pretty bad that I referred to my guys like that...its me being lazy I guess.

Well, you have all made me want mexican, so I just went to the store and bought the rest of the ingredients I need to make the Chilaquiles from the Food and Wine festival. That was one of our favorites. I think I'll make it Thursday. The only thing is I am not making the green sauce; I bought green salsa for that.

OK, off to medicate Andrew and marinate my pot roast for tomorrow. I got my Le Creuset pot and want to use it!

 

[liamandcaili]

Welcome Disneylover79!

I changed my mind on dinner. Beck gave me the leftover fondue from the other night, so I am making baked potatoes, broccoli and bacon and I'll pour the fondue over it. I'm making an arugula salad too.

Recipe, please!!! I love pork!

Pork Schnitzel
6 boneless top pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick, 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons oil

Place chops between 2 sheets of waxed paper. With meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt.
Measure flour and bread crumbs onto separate sheets of waxed paper. Whisk together egg and milk in bowl. Lightly coat cutlets in flour, shaking off excess; dip in egg mixture, then into bread crumbs, pressing crumbs to coat.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.add cutlets. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

I serve them with a baby portabella mushroom gravy. (I am going to cheat and use a mushroom gravy package and add a package of sliced fresh baby bellas)
