What are you having for dinner tonight? - Page 1579

FireSignFemme · 01-07-2021, 08:58 PM

Bread and butter – lots of it, homemade! J is going out of town for the weekend so she brought me some to tide me over till she gets back as a nice surprise. I'm particularly impressed because this is white and there's a lot less room for margin of error with white, especially plain white, bread. Actually with many of the dark breads you don't even have to knead the dough. Anyhow it is the best home baked bread I've ever had in my 5+ decades of living. And that speaks a lot of her talent because this is only her third attempt ever at making bread and her very first making white. I've been to county fairs where women who'd been baking for decades and decades won ribbons and still after all the rave reviews didn't turn out bread like this. Though even if it had been terrible it would have been good to me because it was so thoughtful of her to think of me before heading out of town. I'm so fortunate to have such a nice daughter-in- law.

I love plain, white bread. And you're right, FSF, it is not easy to do well. Mine does not consistently turn out the way I want it, and I've been baking bread for almost 50 years.

Mostly leftovers tonight, but they sure were good:

- fried chicken
- braised cabbage
- skillet fried corn
- Hawai'ian roll
- iced tea with lots of lemon

I made Mexican Rice Casserole tonight for dinner and it was SUPER yummy and SUPER easy. It will therefore go in the favorites section of my recipes notebook!

GeorgiaMa'am · 01-08-2021, 07:19 PM

- jambalaya
- applesauce
- chocolate Oreo cake

Gemme · 01-08-2021, 09:55 PM

I had a small piece of sweet chili chicken breast, a salad quinoa, a few bites of a chicken-walnut-balsamic salad, grilled mixed veggies and water. That was all fine and good but then I got the munchies so I had a 1 ounce bag of plantain chips and a Halo then a honey crisp apple followed by more water and then some apple vinegar kettle chips. They were my downfall and so easy to keep nibbling on!

At least it was only a little bit of chips - I have a serious chip addiction and cannot keep them in the house. (Can't stop without eating the whole bag.) You go girl!

Stone-Butch · 01-09-2021, 05:33 PM

A huge slab of poached salmon and a side of steamed greens. Coffee.

Ohhhh, I love them too. I just make sure before I bring anything into the house that it's within an acceptable range for my sugar. That's been helpful. I thought for sure I'd see the evidence of last night's snacking on the scale this morning but it was steady. No spike!

Also, I made a typo. They are apple cider vinegar kettle chips and they are very good. Plus the family that owns the company donates to charities that influence their family. It's a taste good, feel better chip!

I do miss pizza.

Tonight, I had an eggplant cutlet, the rest of the chicken balsamic pecan and walnut salad (it was only supposed to have one type of nut but someone got generous), a Honey Crisp apple, a Halo and a ton of chips. I taste tested most of my new snacks. A little bit of this and a little bit of that does add up but I have no regrets. I had the apple cider vinegar chips, coconut and plantain chips, a variety of root veggie chips and straight up plantain chips. None of them have added sugars and, for me, I think that makes all the difference in how I process them. It was all delicious! Plenty of water to drink as well.

cinnamongrrl · 01-09-2021, 09:07 PM

Take out from a favorite local restaurant.

I had rattlesnake pasta

He had loaded potato pizza.

Neither are very healthy, but they went well with watching football 🏈

Chad · 01-09-2021, 09:44 PM

Texas chili and sweet cornbread. Yum.

- Hawai'ian roll
- iced tea with lots of lemon

Although I have (and use) a bread machine, there's nothing quite like getting in there and making a loaf the handmade way. Difficult to get just right, without making a sponge or a brick.

Gráinne · 01-10-2021, 06:41 PM

Homemade chicken-noodle soup in the crockpot, from a recipe on the broth box. It had to crock all day; so far, so good.

Cherry tomatoes, which I got into and ate too soon.

Cheesecake bars (from a coworker's recipe)

One aim of 2021 is to try new things, whether or not they work out. That also includes picking up my Russian again

GeorgiaMa'am · 01-10-2021, 08:24 PM

- big lima beans in ham bone broth
- ham
- flan

Stone-Butch · 01-10-2021, 09:48 PM

Baked breaded pork chop (bone in), beet salad. Ice tea.

Gemme · 01-10-2021, 09:49 PM

I had a black bean burger on an Artesano bun. Organic romaine, avocado oil mayo, dill pickle chips and pepper jack cheese were my flavor enhancers and did quite well. I also had some quinoa salad, a Halo, 2 Honey Crisp apples and some chips. Once again, I took a little of this and a little of that and had a good ole snack fest. Plenty of water to drink.

homoe · 01-11-2021, 01:01 PM

Tonight it'll be a roasted chicken and mashed potatoes!

We'll let Costco do the heavy lifting......

Bèsame* · 01-11-2021, 03:22 PM

pulled pork in the oven, roasting in beer, real slow...

Gemme · 01-11-2021, 08:58 PM

What did I NOT have is the real question. It was Meatless Monday for my dinner. I had grilled veggies, quinoa salad, a Halo, a Honey Crisp apple and a variety of chips again. I notably increased my water intake today so I am properly buoyant now.
