What are you having for dinner tonight?

[JDeere]

I had a big bowl of New England Clam Chowder or Chowda! with crackers. A sweet tea to drink.

[FireSignFemme]

I went to my son's place for dinner. His gf made breaded pork chops which she soaked in pineapple juice, let marinate for awhile before breading them. It sounded horrible but they were actually quite good. She served fresh spinach pasta with an Alfredo sauce which she made herself with a pasta making kit my son recently bought her for her birthday. I would not like that for my birthday but she was thrilled with it. Since my son really likes Brussels sprouts she also served those, not home cooked, frozen from a Green Giant bag. I was skeptical when I saw her nuke them in the microwave, in the bag they came in, but they tasted great. They were nicely pre seasoned, surprisingly weren't mushy, and didn't stink up the house since they only had to be warmed not cooked. We had milk and water to drink. Afterwards just coffee no dessert because we were all too stuffed. I took most of mine home and there are enough left overs for two meals out of it. Wow! When she cooks she really cooks!

[Gemme]

I had chicken and cranberry juice and an apple and an orange.

[TL1]

Had a procedure today where I had to be put to sleep and couldn’t eat so needless to say was starving. Made my mom stop on the way home (had to be driven home) and got a big ass burger and fries. Yup sure did. And man it was good.

[cinnamongrrl]

My honey brought me Thai curry and Tom yum soup since I’m sick with a head cold.

I cannot say how much I’ve missed Thai in general. The spice was so nice. I could actually taste my food....

[tantalizingfemme]

I baked a spaghetti squash and once it was done and cooled a bit I scraped it and sautéed the strands in some olive oil with kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and some nutritional yeast.

[Chancie]

We were away for the long weekend, but Pete is visiting her mother so I am making potato soup and spaetzle.

The potato soup was delicious, but the spaetzle experiment resulted in undercooked little lumps.

I made corn salsa, a la Chipotle, pineapple salsa, a la some place we ate last week, and pickled red onions. Pete just hobbled out to buy dried pinto beans.

Guess what we’re serving our vegan friends tomorrow?

[Orema]

Pizza and a garden salad. Waiting on a delivery from a place that’s new to me. I’m famished. Hope it’s as good as the reviews indicate.

[girl_dee]

Mel and i get sushi on Friday nights, Even though hy isn’t here i ordered some for my with extra so hy can have some if hy likes when hy gets in from Munich.

[Gemme]

I had vegetable soup with a tossed salad, water and some Belly Flops.

What are Belly Flops?

We had diced chicken with zucchini noodles and Parmesan cheese and garlic.

Irregular Jelly Bellies. Cheaper and just as good, unfortunately. I was soooo close to being completely healthy when they started calling my name.

These yummy peppers, compliments of Costco and the InstantPot

[Bèsame*]

Ceviche and chips
Jalapeno margarita.

Happy hour in Laguna Beach. I'm sitting on the patio, watching traffic (so sad for them, lol)
I have a perfect view of the setting sun between palm trees. Oh yes, this is the stuff vacations are made of.


There will be a stop at the gelato shop later.
( I have hit my step tracker and then some today)

[JDeere]

I had a very late lunch and my stomach isn't cooperating so gonna lay off food unless I really get hungry. My stomach has shrunk some so I don't eat as much but I have heartburn bad, it was a foot long spicy Italian with no chip just a drink.

[RockOn]

cheese and pepperoni bagel bites
quart of butter milk to drink

[Orema]

Last night was ham and brussel sprouts. So glad I did food prepping this weekend for 4 breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Makes life easier when I’m swamped at work.

cheese and pepperoni bagel bites

My Dad used to badger my sister and I into trying new things (food) when we were young (under 10), things like fried onions and broccoli. One day after we had refused once again to try his precious buttermilk, he added nestle quick to a glass, and asked me if I wanted chocolate milk...I took a drink, and spit it all back into his glass!

Nasty stuff, nasty nasty stuff. Lolololololl

Maybe you just haven't tried buttermilk with the right food. It's delicious with a warm piece of cornbread (real cornbread, that is, not that Jiffy stuff).

My sister would drink buttermilk straight up when we were kids! She didn't even need any food to really enjoy it I guess!

That's how my mom would drink it, too. I like to dunk mine with cornbread. So good.

It's too sour to drink straight up for folks like me with a sweet tooth. It's best for baking.

Buttermilk biscuits. Pancakes too.

*drool*

My mom loved it but she also loved pickled pigs feet so take that with a grain of salt.

[kittygrrl]

heartbeet salad-sauteed, sweet potato crinkled cuts & shaved brussel sprouts on a bed of romaine lettuce, cucumber, purple onion. Sliced pickled beets on top with Thousand Island(homemade)

Mine would use buttermilk in some cake recipes, too. She didn’t eat pigs feet but would roast or bake them for my dad and sister.

I’d pass on the feet, but would enjoy a small bowl of chit’lin’s with a little hot sauce. Maybe I’ll order some for the New Year.

[RockOn]

I did not like buttermilk when I was a child. I could not get past the thought I was drinking old, soured milk. Later, as an adult, I had to acquire appreciation of it.

I like it best straight, just like regular milk ... get it really good and cold, chug it! Also, it is great for indigestion ... coats better than regular milk.

Never tried pigs feet on purpose. I did eat frog legs once by accident. I was tricked. A bunch of us had been out on the river skiing and drinking all day. We ended up at a party that night which served lots of freshly cooked food. I was wolfing frog legs when I started noticing my friends snickering. They were delicious, tasted like chicken. Who could know? I was side-winding drunk, told it was chicken and had no reason to doubt. When I realized the truth, I turned away from the group and the mouthful went into a napkin. It was over --->>> never to be revisited again. Makes my stomach flip just thinking about it. Ugh! And every once in a while, I run into someone who starts out with, "Remember that day when we were all drunk at the river ..." LOL!

[Gemme]

I don't get the whole 'can't eat it anymore even though I liked it' thing. I do get the whole 'oh, Hell no I'm not eating that!' without having ever tried it thing. If I eat something and I like it, I'll eat it again, regardless of what it is.

One of my high school teachers had a secret pot luck buffet in class one time. He asked all of us to bring in a dish that most people would not eat or something most people would not have heard of before. He brought a dish too....chili. Except the meat was lion. He was former MP and had contacts all over the world and managed to get some despite it being illegal. I brought tripe. So disgusting and most people hadn't heard of it. There was rattlesnake (saltwatery) and dolphin (fish not mammal-eh, not my favorite) and a slew of other stuff. I tried everything except what I brought because I knew I hated it.

Dinner was technically chicken salad with pecans and cranberries inside it on yummy multigrain Club crackers and water to drink.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Last night was:

Organic butternut squash ravioli from Costco with....

Sautéed onions
Baby peas
Sliced portobellos
A light vodka sauce
Shaved parmigiana

Omg, yumbolicious!

[Wrang1er]

My plan was Pistachio Pesto Crusted Salmon. I got to the grocery and I didn't know how much fresh basil and parsley I needed to buy to make 1 1/2 C of each. :(

Thank you, G! I tried to make this for dinner this evening:

http://citronlimette.com/recipe_archive/main_dishes/pistachio-pesto-crusted-salmon/

The salmon was good but the pistachio pesto not so much. Someone made it for me a few years ago and it was wonderful. Unfortunately, I didn't do so well.

[girl_dee]

How about this (https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/pistachio-pesto/) recipe?

Don't be so hard on yourself! Good recipes take time.

I had waffle fries, jo jos, mac 'n cheese triangles, fresh fruit and cake for dinner.

[Bèsame*]

I'm waiting for my niece, we are headed to the Taste of Laguna Beach. A sampling of good California fare, I'm sure it will be delish!

Oh, and drinks too!
Great evening ahead.

[FireSignFemme]

Steamer type Beef Merlot TV dinner along with left over chicken flavored Stove Top Stuffing.

For those near a Villa Italian Kitchen (250 locations across the U.S) who didn't win the lottery tonight, for the price of a soft drink and your worthless non-winning Mega Millions ticket you can get a “free” slice of pizza. Not really worth a drive out of the way but if you're already passing by or planning to eat there anyway. Not all locations are offering this promo so you'll have to call store near you first to make sure yours is. Source – thrillist.com

every time I make this wonderful cornbread from a recipe given to me by my dear, sweet african-american lady friend, I end up with pillars of smoke in the kitchen and dining room ... we all just evacuated to the bedroom a few minutes ago ...

[RockOn]

the house did not burn, no one died from smoke inhalation, my mess is getting somewhat smaller ... last time I poured a lot of Hershey's syrup on the floor and broke a bowl ... this is the best cornbread I have ever made!!!!

[cinnamongrrl]

Tonight I’m actually cooking...

We’re having beef stew in the instant pot. I cut up steaks for the meat since the store I was at had no stew beef. I got the gorgeous three color baby potatoes as a splurge to make it prettier. Then I got the horse carrots because they actually do better in the instant pot than baby carrots. Gonna add green beans at the end. Wishing i had diced canned tomatoes. They disappear in the sauce but add a yummy thickness to the stew.

Honey may pick up a crusty bread, but my ass could do without the carbs. :canadian:

[PlatinumPearl]

Spinach salad with avocado toast and a fruit smoothie.

J and I had lunch at a really good Greek restaurant. Can't remember the names of everything we had, but no gyros that I know. The only thing I recognized was the baba ganoush and it was fantastic. Anyhow we also each had a doughnut on the way there because we were so hungry, so dessert first followed by lunch. I took left overs home so that's what I had for dinner tonight. Just water to drink at both meals.

[girl_dee]

Hamburger steaks with lotsa gravy, onions and mushrooms.. side of taters

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- Sesame chicken
- Veggie fried rice
- Stir fried squashes, carrots and onions

[bright_arrow]

Spicy baked chicken (he has garlic and herb), quinoa and brown rice mix (he has white rice), roasted broccoli and corn. It's okay... I've made better. Peppermint ice cream for dessert will fix it all I think.

They’re drinking maple oatmeal stout.

I have 2 beef roasts cooking right now in the oven. Wish I had started cooking them earlier. I am so hungry. The dogs are too. They keep coming into the kitchen with their noses raised up, sniffing and looking pitiful.

I just opened another box of Mike & Ike jellybeans. NOT GOOD! I am too hyped up from the first box ...hope I don't teeter over the sugar high edge.

[JDeere]

NATIVE American tacos and fry bread with a sweet tea.

[Gemme]

Oh no! Did something go wrong?

I'm making a vegetable heavy Chicken Biryani. This is a new stunt.

Years ago, I loved it and now, I just can't seem to stand it, no matter how it's made. I started to chalk it up to whacked out taste buds due to my cold but I thought back to all the times I've tried it over the past 7-8 years and realized that there wasn't one time that I loved it or even really kind of liked it.

I like it in chunked veggie form okay enough but something about the soup's texture and flavor combination that just makes me feel North of queasy.

In related news, I had Santa Fe Rice and Beans with cranberry juice and Nerds for dinner tonight.

Mom and I had Frito pie and margaritas.

Last night was soup again. It was good but I need to go grocery shopping.

[Gemme]

It was supposed to be soup but I had a nasty migraine midday and only picked at my lunch. Dinner started out fine enough, finishing the pasta from lunch and then having some Cheez-Its and a few gummy bears. Then I cracked open the Turkey Hill and it was all over.

Left over Chinese food. I hate it when people say left over Chinese and then just leave it at that because how many Chinese people did you have for dinner when they were still fresh. This is pretty hypocritical as I'm sure somewhere along the way I've done it myself. Probably la lot.

I'm keeping it super simple by having a fresh organic garden salad, with all my favorite toppings and a slight trace of Orange Miso dressing.

We are going to the Winter Farmers’s Market this morning, so I bet there will be greens and brussel sprouts.

[Kätzchen]

Last night I made an Winter veggie mix bowl of cauliflower buds, ripple cut zucchini and carrot slices, edamae, etc, and added pineapple salsa and added Chao Field Roast creamy slices of 'cheese'. After I prepared it in the bowl, I topped it off with Everything Sesame Seed salad toppers. It was very tasty and filling. I plan to have it again, tonight, for supper.

For dessert: a dark red Asian pear.


Water to drink, and maybe a cup of herbal tea (Cranberry).

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Kätzchen's oh-so-healthy dinners make me feel guilty.

But not really.

I had a DQ hot chocolate Oreo Blizzard with whipped cream on top.

We found beautiful potatoes and carrots at the Winter Farmers’ Market and I just made soup.

I oven roasted carrots and onions while I was cooking potatoes in vegetable broth.

When the veggies were roasted and the potatoes were tender, I added the onions and carrots to the broth.

I added salt and pepper and one can of coconut milk and I used my stick blender until the soup was creamy.

The soup is rich and flavorful and creamy and delicious!

After dinner we went to their place for coffee and had homemade from scratch vanilla cake with buttercream frosting for dessert. I had such a great time. :)

[FireSignFemme]

J took me out to a diner because we were too tired to cook after spending all day in the kitchen making Christmas candy for friends and relatives. I had the same thing I always get whenever we wind up there – burger dip with cheese, a side of tomato slices and a side of potato salad. This time though I had pop to drink instead of coffee. No dessert because as we were making our candy we were sampling the candy.

[tantalizingfemme]

Vegan mac & cheese

[Bèsame*]

Leftover chicken cordon blue, that I made last night. A bowl of mixed summer veggies, topped with butter and cheese.

[Gemme]

[Bèsame*]

[Orema]

Apple pie.

We had a pie contest at work today. A bunch of people make pies (fruit, cream, meat, whatever), a bunch of people taste them and then vote on which one is the best in different categories. I participated the first couple years we had the contest, but now I avoid it like the plague. They’re fun and people can be very creative, but I really don’t enjoy food like that and I had to do some work for my boss.

After the contest I saw one of the better cooks at the company, she offered me a slice of her apple pie and that’s what I’ve brought home for dinner.

So tonight it’s apple pie and maybe a cup of decaf.

:poc-cool:

Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie
Peaches (for dessert)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pizza with feta, onions and salami - it was good, but Domino's left off half the ingredients I ordered. I normally would not have ordered this combination without some other stuff.

[Kätzchen]

Cream of Wheat, with tons of coconut cream, a splash of Truvia and a giant sprinkle of cinnamon. *Yummmmm*

[tantalizingfemme]

Creamy cauliflower horseradish soup. Sounds odd, but it is really good.

[Gemme]

Creamy cauliflower horseradish soup. Sounds odd, but it is really good.

I like to add horseradish to all kinds of things so this actually does sound really good to me.

For thread compliance, I had chicken pot pie, oj and Belly Flops.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Ramen with vegetables

[nycfem]

Whole foods: brown rice/avocado/cucumber sushi. Also from food bar: charred Brussels sprouts, baked soy nuggets, butternut squash, cooked carrots, artichokes- it was all really good.

[PlatinumPearl]

Vegetable stir fry made with sautéing onions, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, broccoli and bok choy using water no oil and seasoning with pink Himalayan sea salt and freshly squeezed lime juice served over jasmine rice. I also added a little bit of sweet chili sauce on top for a bit of heat.

[FireSignFemme]

I had two of these really cheap, disgusting, frozen, microwave according to package directions, supposed to be Chimichanga, supposed to be chicken filled – things. I should have bought Marie Callender's chicken pot pies instead. I had to add fresh diced tomatoes, cilantro, salsa , salt, pepper, onion powder and so much sour cream who even knows how many farms full of cows had to suffer just to make them edible, barely. But I guess it was worth it because I saved a lot of money by buying them, and not the pot pies, in economy size packaging. Plus they were so disgusting I can't imagine I'm going to have any problems from here on out pacing myself. And it was filling which is good because the pumpkin pies turning out bad were an even worse fail earlier in the day. I think I'm just going to eat whipping cream straight from the can for dessert.

I have had cellulitis in my right leg this week for the third time, so there has not been a good deal of cooking. :(

Last night I put a chicken in the crockpot, and sent Kasey to KFC for mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, and a big vat of coleslaw.

A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. ;)

[Kätzchen]

lol, loved MsTinkerbelly's phrase: "A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do" because that's kind of what has happened with me, lately.

I gave in to my 'sweet tooth' and had a giant bite of Orange cake with orange flavored frosting, and while it tasted SOOOO good, I probably won't do that again. *lol*


I've mostly been dining on fresh garden salads, homemade soups, and not dining elsewhere other than what I make for dinner here at home.

I miss Chinese take-out menu foods, the most. I may have to try sinning that way, sometime soon, by having some Crab puffs and some Mongolian beef stir fry.



Last night, I had steamed broccoli spears and melted Chao Field Roast cheese on top of the spears after it steamed. *Yummmmm*

[FireSignFemme]

You're making me hungry for Chinese food! I don't know what I'm having for dinner yet but I do know whatever I decide on, it will be less than I want so it better be good.

ate a pack of crackers just before I left work ... nothing since then ... my apetite has not been the usual lately ... cannot feel actual hunger

now if I can get Jeffrey awake enough to move over, I am going to bed ... hound dogs are different than any breed I have ever had and I have had lots ... and he eats so slow ... I always prepare his bowl first and give it to him but we all still have to wait on him before we go outside as a group ... funny little guy on stilts, he is! LOL!

I just finished eating and now wish I had fixed three but these sugar wafers for dessert are filling the gaps and the milk is providing their smooth descent ... oh my gosh, this just reminded me of one of my most favorite Cow & Chicken cartoons. The episode is entitled: Journey to the Center of Cow

If interested, here is the youtube link:

https://youtu.be/wZM_51PVtPk

so funny to me ... adult humor in there which goes unnoticed by the little ones ... most of you here are too young to remember the Burt Reynolds movie from the 70s "Deliverance" but the sick jokes about "purty mouth" as well as "paddle faster" spawned from it and still live on decades later


stopped on the way home and bought another couple gallons of milk .... not going to be sitting up here in the woods on a three day weekend dreading to have to get out after dark to make a milk run ... I am smart like that ... this time anyway Heh Heh
