What are you having for dinner tonight? - Page 1677

Bèsame* · 04-02-2025, 04:19 PM

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 · 04-03-2025, 12:11 AM

5 Guys:

- cheeseburger with grilled onions
- fries

GeorgiaMa'am · 04-03-2025, 09:01 PM

- 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

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 · 04-04-2025, 06:32 PM

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

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* · 04-05-2025, 05:22 PM

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.

cinnamongrrl · 04-10-2025, 08:33 AM

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 · 04-10-2025, 09:27 PM

- Cheesy baked chicken and rice

Bèsame* · 04-11-2025, 05:35 AM

HahaHa....it was crab cocktail. Thanks Chancie. You crack me up!

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.
