What are you having for dinner tonight?

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- Salisbury steak
- mashed potatoes
- lima beans

[cinnamongrrl]

I made egg roll in a bowl for the second time this week.


I made embellishments to my recipe that made it even gooder.

Good soy sauce, ginger and garlic for example. I’ve been having it on repeat on the weekly. It’s such a quick dinner too!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

pot roast with onions, potatoes and carrots

I'm posting this message here because it gets posts almost every day. For about five days now, I haven't been able to get on BFP through my lap. I keep getting taken to a "default page". Not sure if it's the real thing, but I wanted to report it just in case.

- a bologna sandwich
- cream of tomato soup
- an almond croissant

[GeorgiaMa'am]

We had an appetizer dinner:

- coconut shrimp with some kind of tropical fruit sauce
- chicken nuggets with honey mustard sauce
- mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce

Brittany enjoyed the chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks. She had hers plain.

[Bèsame*]

Sourdough toasted with a splash of balsamic vinegar and spread with olive tapenade. Oh so so good. Almost bruschetta.

Appetizer night for me as well😉

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- meatloaf
- mashed potatoes
- roasted Brussels sprouts

[Gráinne]

Chicken patties in a sandwich and tater tots. Had my dessert (ice cream) first!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I had ice cream for dessert too!

For dinner, I had:
- a cut up tomato with Ranch dressing
- squash casserole

Talk to me about this squash casserole please?

[Bèsame*]

A big bowl of sauteed veggies over chive and spinach linguine. I topped it off with a spicy chimichurri and a dollop of ricota cheese. So delightful.

Later I will have half a bran muffin and a few dk chocolate covered almonds.

Lots of water

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Talk to me about this squash casserole please?

Well . . . okay. There are two different squash casseroles that I make. One is made with fresh squash, fresh onions, and is made from what I would call scratch. It is the more delicious of the two, and it is also more work and takes longer.

The other squash casserole that I make (and the one I had for dinner) uses canned ingredients and is kind of just thrown together. It is pretty good, but in a way that is reminiscent of a cafeteria that my family used to eat at a lot. It is pretty easy and quick.

Are you, or is anyone, interested in either or both of these recipes? I'll be happy to share.

[Bèsame*]

My new cookbook came and I've been pursuing the pages! Last week I made orzo for the first time. It's pretty tasty and easy. Tonight I'm going to make

Creamy Orzo with Asparagus and sweet peas. Now that's going to be a Spring meal for sure!

. . . Tonight I'm going to make Creamy Orzo with Asparagus and sweet peas. Now that's going to be a Spring meal for sure!


Asparagus is on sale at Kroger this week for .99/pound and I was wondering what new and interesting thing I could do with it. Now I know!

* * *

For dinner we had:

- baked pork chops
- mac and cheese
- a diced yellow tomato with Ranch dressing

[iamkeri1]

99¢ for asparagus? Definitely a flashback price. I thought I did well when I got it the other day for $2.29.
I've been subsisting on food bought precooked from my recent shopping center tour. Sweet onion and teriyaki sub from Subway - unbelievably good. Wonton soup. Bbq chicken legs and another sub - beef and provolone cheese- from WinnDixie. I still have a chunk of both subs left. I have a wonderful bunch of fresh veggies in the fridge that I hope I can talk myself into roasting. We'll see.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- French peas
- new potatoes in a parsley butter sauce

Not really sure...
I could make a tortellini pasta salad with spinach

Or

Finish off the half of salad from lunch with little burger sliders wrapped in lettuce.


I guess I'll decide when I go into the kitchen..lol

[GeorgiaMa'am]

5 Guys:

- cheeseburger with grilled onions
- fries

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- Beef Stroganoff (I overdid it a little bit with the sour cream, but it was oh-so-creamy and good!)
- a little salad with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and balsamic vinaigrette dressing

[Kätzchen]

I found a brand of Lavish Bread made in a bakery up in Washington state, that is not sold in every grocery store but in specialty type grocery stores: I’ve been having half of a Hummus Wrap for lunch and dinner. For my hummus wrap, I spread two heaping tablespoons of refried black beans, two tablespoons of my favorite hummus (balsamic, or garlic, or roasted red pepper, or pine nut hummus) on top of the black beans, then sprinkle broccoli slaw and add a few pinches of sprouts, then a few slices of one portobello mushroom, then drizzle tahini on top of it all. Then roll it up and cut it in half for two main meals.

Pretty yummy and nutritious! :)

Well, I made the tortellini. I brought home a container of fresh bruschetta sauce and used that to mix in with spinach. Turned out pretty tasty if I say!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- the rest of the Stroganoff
- a diced tomato with salt & pepper

[cinnamongrrl]

Last night I had dinner at a restaurant downtown.

I had an amazing wedge salad and a flatbread with mozzarella, pesto and roasted garlic. And a local lager to wash it down.

Tonight: I have chili in the crockpot. It’ll be ready when I get home from work!

I love making a big pot of chili even though it’s just me. I reinvent it to make different things. Like an omelette with chili and cheese, get some decent hot dogs and have it with that, and, my favorite, make sweet potatoes and put chili over them. Just an amazing juxtaposition of sweet and spicy! 🌶️ I’ve even made stuffed peppers with leftover chili. There’s a thought!

I've been known to make corn muffins that are stuffed with chili. Just fill the batter a little more than 1/2 way, put in a good spoonful of the chili, and then more batter on top to close it in.

My daughter used to LOVE sweet potatoes topped with chili. It was our Halloween night dinner for years.

[Bèsame*]

The temps were so high today, even record breaking, I didn't want to cook.

I shredded a carrot and a piece of jicama, mixed with Asian Sesame dressing. Oh, that was good. I got the idea at TJ's . I saw that and thought, I could make that!

Imatation crab cocktail.

Vanilla Seltzer, love the bubbles!

I wasn't able to eat my breakfast yogurt with fruit this morning. I just put it in the freezer for a treat later.

Dear Dinner Cooks, I finally found a browser that had stored my password. I should change it, shouldn’t I?

Whoa, groceries are so expensive, and since the election, I’ve made some choices about shopping local. But, we are in a relatively lucky position.

I made peanut soup two days ago, and Pete assured me that she didn’t mind if we ate it twice. I didn’t love it, but it was okay. I added tofu instead of chicken, and half the peanut butter. We had it twice for dinner, and there was probably enough for Pete’s lunch.

Tonight I’m making chicken and risotto. The risotto is frozen from Trader Joe’s. So very good. It’s always an amazing, quick dinner after work. The hardest part is deciding if I want the asparagus or the mushroom one……

[GeorgiaMa'am]

[Chancie]

We went to a farm store yesterday and I bought 6.5 pounds of frozen chicken necks and two frozen turkey wings. We are committed to buying local, and this farm store represents several generations of poultry farmers. ❤️

I got up at 6:00 this morning, and I starting cooking even though we’re going to a seder tonight and Ill probably fall asleep at the table. I’m making chicken soup in two stock pots, and turkey broth for Arnie. I added onions, carrots, parsnips, and bay leaves to our chicken soup, but Arnie’s broth is plain. The house already smells delicious.

Tonight? We’re going to a seder at our synagogue which will start at 5:30 and end at 9 pm. It’s a good thing they kept it short.

Chancie, that sounds great!

Similar deal here. Once in a while my mom and I will cook a whole chicken or turkey breast and I always save "what's left" to make stock. I was working from home on Friday so I set up the stockpot and made a nice big batch of stock. Then made soup with mushrooms, kale, broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, and a little bit of chicken. I've had a head cold all weekend so this has pretty much been breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Same here. I try not to waste anything. Yesterday I baked half a ham and put water in the drippings pan to keep it moist. Afterwards I froze three cups of drippings to make beans and peas with later, and I used the rest to make butterbeans for last night's dinner.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well, easygoingfemme. That's a really healthy sounding soup you made; I sure hope you get better soon.

[easygoingfemme]

Thank you, I'll pull through :)

Speaking of using things to the fullest, when I had my big dog (100 lb pit bull) I used to finish making the stock and then I would strain out the stock and puree everything that was in the pot and add that to his food. He always has mega zoomies on the days he had the final gifts of the stock pot.

[cinnamongrrl]

Tonight will probably be a pizza from Trader Joes. If y’all have never had the French ham and Gruyère cheese…..you haven’t lived. I’m not even a fan of pork and I buy them two at a time!

[Chancie]

Even though we went to a seder last night, we’re going to a pay-what-you-can soup dinner, which is sponsored by a local agency that serves THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD for lunch on Saturdays, including folks who are food insecure. We’ll make a donation, and I’m sure there’s a sponsor.

I've been craving BBQ ribs. So I bought a slab of baby back ribs. But the same day I couldn't wait, so I got an early bird special at Cody's BBQ. So good!

I came home and have been marinating the ribs I bought for like two days. Well, they made it into the crockpot today. So my ribs tonight, along with fresh sweet corn on the cob and asparagus.

I cheated, I had an ear of corn last night. Again, so good!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- a roasted tomato with parmigiana reggiano on top
- roasted Brussels sprouts

I had baby Bella mushroom’s pan seared in evoo: I seared them to perfection and arranged them on a slice of Lavish bread, which had garlic hummus and half a sliced avocado. I seasoned it with some “foxtrot delta tango” sauce (creamy mascarpone cheese with grilled sweet onion). Very delicious.

Water to drink.

I’m finally getting over a cold which has exhausted me for a week. But tonight we feast! I soaked TVP in turkey broth and vinegar and poured in a jar of spaghetti sauce. Ill make pasta later.

Between Passover, limited dairy, and not much takeout in our small town, it’s been slim pickings.

[easygoingfemme]

I set up my grill station after work today. I'm grilling some veggie burgers while watching the high school crew team work their way down the river. I'll be having a veggie burger with guacamole, tomato, and lettuce on a gluten free bun. I will sit outside and listen to the birds chirp and hope to pick up a book to read out there too. I can not complain about this at all.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Chinese delivery:

- pot stickers

Pete had a TVP sloppy joe on a roll, and I had chicken on a roll, but I’m feeling better, thank goodness, so I’m thinking about cooking again.

I’m making peanut noodles tomorrow for a potluck, and I have a plan to make chickpea burgers.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- baked sage-ey pork chops
- mashed potatoes

We had delicious peanut noodles and baked tofu last night. Pete had the leftovers for lunch.

Tonight we’re having tuna salad with elbow macaroni.

Chicken seasoned with spices with Mexican style cauliflower rice from Trader Joe’s. Sprinkled some cheddar cheese on as well.

Grapes for dessert. I’ve been on a fruit craze…

We had a vegetable palooza last night. We had an excess of parsnips and carrots from our winter farm share, so I sliced them and roasted them with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; I threw in a potato and an onion too. I also stuffed portabella mushrooms with bread crumbs, mushroom stems, and parmesan cheese. OMG, everything was so tasty

Our blender came with two tumblers that you can use to make a smoothie or something. These tumblers make it super easy to make a one-meal-size portion of peanut sauce. Tonight we’re having noodles with peanut sauce and bok choi, which we got in our winter farm share. Maybe I’ll roast more of those cockamamie root vegetables.

A previously frozen chicken pot pie. It was not particularly enjoyable. However, I have a navel orange that I am saving for bedtime, which I am looking forward to.

Last night….

I got shrimp scampi from Trader Joe’s. Never noticed it before. Perhaps it’s new. Mixed in cauliflower rice and Normandy blend mixed veggies. It was amazing.

For dessert:

My go to has been a banana drizzled with peanut butter and sprinkled with nutty granola. Not low carb, but I’ll take the carbs in exchange for some potassium.

Tonight: god knows. I’ll probably pick up something on my way home. :eatinghersheybar:

I looked for the shrimp scampi at TJ's today and didn't see it! I've never tried it but your post made me want to.

I cooked dinner tonight for my parents and my kiddo and their partner. It's my birthday so we did it up a bit. Salmon cooked several ways to accommodate allergies and preferences, steamed broccoli, and mashed potatoes and a balsamic glaze to drizzle. Our family has like... a lot of food allergies... and we've found that is a meal that almost everyone can eat. My kiddo's partner is super duper picky so they had a grilled cheese and raw broccoli.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pizza with pepperoni, sausage and fresh tomatoes. It was delicious.

Instead of having dessert, I read several versions of dessert recipes and couldn't decide on any of them. Then it was too late to make any of the desserts I have ingredients for. I will start earlier tomorrow.

I’m baking a frittatta. I make one just about every week during asparagus season. I buy locally grown asparagus at the farmers’ coop, kind of like Agway. The frittatta has eggs, parmesan, a couple of potatoes, some onion I found in the fridge, and a buttload of asparagus.

It's a busy week so I cooked in advance last night to cover the week. I was going to grill but it's been raining for a year now... Anyway I made some basmati rice seasoned with lemon and basil, roasted zucchini and yellow squash and sautéed portabella mushrooms and shrimp. Tossed all together it's pretty tasty and I won't have to cook dinner for a few more nights.

I finally gave in and opened the air fryer that I've had for five years. It was never my idea to get an air fryer in the first place, but the boy came home with it one night. I kept putting off opening the box for lack of counter space. But over the last week or so, I've been rearranging my kitchen, and now I have a spot. So for dinner, I had:

- French fries
- a bologna sandwich

Impressions: I was not impressed with the fries, but the booklet said if I used frozen fries, I did not have to use any oil. For fresh fries, it suggested spraying them with Pam. I think next time I will use frozen fries again, but I will spray them with Pam. That will hopefully make them crispier.

After inspecting the air fryer and reading the booklet, it strikes me that the air fryer is sort of a grown-up version of an Easy Bake Oven. It never occurred to me to try to make French fries in my Easy Bake Oven under the hot light bulb, but that's probably just as well.

[easygoingfemme]

It's so hot I'm struggling to figure out to eat before I have crew practice tonight. I think I'll do a scrambled egg with some smoked salmon. If I'm hungry after practice (I probably will be) I have a ton of washed and sliced fruit in the fridge.

Made a Cornish game hen in the air fryer last night. So tonight I made chicken salad wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. (Half tonight, half for lunch tomorrow). Mmmm...I added cranberries and walnuts.

It's been so hot, so I've gone wild with veggie salads. There is some leftover pineapple coleslaw.
I just made a cucumber, red onion, sweet corn and a little left over frozen peas. Mixed it in this new dressing I found at Sprouts. Cilantro Verde. Spicy, just like I like it!

Water. ( I did get the water lecture from my NP the other day)

I just pulled out a Mochi cake from the oven. Trying this cake mix I got from Trader Joe's. I sampled, it's really good and easy to make.

Pete grilled hotdogs last night, turkey for me and plant based for her. I made coleslaw with a cabbage from our farm share. same thing tonight

I grew dill, cilantro, and Thai basil from seeds this year. Yesterday, I froze dill in an ice cube tray, and I made peanut sauce with a healthy bunch of parsley that I started in a hydroponic kit.

Pete picked up our farm share this morning and the carrot tops were so green and pretty that I made carrot top pesto.

July is the best

Carrot Top Pesto!!! I have not made that and now I need to.

I'm having a snacky dinner. A little this and that as I go do this and that around the house. Some veggies and hummus. Some grilled shrimp. Some broccoli. I have some leftover baguette and goat cheese from last night that might happen. It should be noted that I'm not all that good at sitting and eating a meal. I'm a graze and run girl.
