Something Delicious

Bèsame* · 11-15-2012, 08:18 AM

Hmmmm, on tonight's menu

Beef stroganoff

Ploy to feed the boys to get the Xmas decorations out of the attic. Lol

And yes yes yes to cheese..I've been experimenting with cheese. Finding and tasting along the way. I remember walking into a cheese store, of all places, Rodeo Drive in CA. The smell was strange, but the goodies were forever. My love started there...lol

So a good question for you would be, what do you eat when you do not have time to cook? I think that many of us are often too busy too cook. Its always interesting to know how others handle days (or weeks) like that.

My fallbacks have been:

The thin rice noodles that you soak in hot water, with steamed shrimp and edamame and ponzu. The steaming only takes 5 minutes. As long as it takes the water to boil and soak the noodles. Ponzu just gets poured on.
Salads with garbanzos and olives for fat and protein
Leftover soups from earlier in the week or stocked in the freezer
Hummus and crackers
Fruit
Eggs with veggies

Awesome and a good reminder to me to freeze some soup.

I am about to admit something embarrassing....When I don't have time to cook I either just fall asleep (usually because I am so tired) or my Mom (yes I said it) sends me food. lol Usually traditional Mexican food. This often includes homemade flour tortillas!!! I am alright with that! I promise I am not really spoiled by my Mom. She just likes to feed us!

My fallbacks:

A bag of steamed veggies
Soup
bowl of cereal
leftovers

I also pick up a rotisserie chicken at the store and cut that up.

girl_dee · 11-15-2012, 09:13 PM

Tonite was hamburger steaks, with mushrooms, sauteed onions and gravy
mashed taters for the Syr
Cauilflower casserole for me (low carb) it had bacon bits, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream cheese all mixed up and baked.

We are all so full!

Hugs!

Hello Delicious people!

How is everyone today? I am prepping for a big meeting today so I don't have a lot of time but just wanted to stop in and thank you all for making this such a fun, informative and creative thread.

I always wanted a thread like this and you all have made it even more fabulous than I had imagined it could be.

You all rock.

My son was just promoted to Manager at a restaurant at the Palazzo in Vegas...I am so proud of him. He is doing what he has wanted to do for so long. And he cooks too, i hope to go see him again cause he cooks for his momma

ahk · 11-15-2012, 01:58 PM

So there was some talk about marinating chicken in Pineapple juice-- how is this done? Because the last time I tried something like it-- the chicken was kind of "grainy" in texture. Just curious.

Not sure whats on the menu tonight-- we went out last night for our "pre-anniversary" dinner since my wife will be working on the real day.

I really like this thread too!!

Bèsame* · 11-15-2012, 03:44 PM

And, you rock most of all! Thanks!
