What are you having for dinner tonight? - Page 1331

bright_arrow · 11-23-2017, 02:33 AM

Last container of leftovers: Garlic and peppercorn pork loin, lima beans, petite carrots and small potatoes. Cost a whopping $12 for a meal that gave me seven meals throughout the week.

First off, let me say hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving day!

I will be having BBQ from the grill tonight. Actually, I will be having it every meal for the next 4 or 5 days.

They let us leave work at noon yesterday but will pay us for regular 8 hours.

I came home, fired up the grill and cooked lots of meat on the grill.

- 6 xl chicken breasts ... one for each of my dogs' dinner, one for my neighbor and one for my neighbor's Doberman pooch. Her Dobie had surgery recently, he is fine and I wanted to do something special for him. Actually, he ate a cat toy whole and it was not a small one. After removing it, her vet washed it and put it in a zip-lock bag. I saw it so I know just how big it was. I do not see how he did not choke to death. I will divide the last one 3 ways so my dogs can have a snack around noon

- 12 overly thick hamburgers (my babies had one each last night with their chicken breasts)

- 36 boneless, skinless chicken thighs with BBQ sauce, sent some to neighbor along with the chicken breast ... did not put the BBQ sauce on all of them so Kevin, Jennifer and Jeffrey can enjoy some of the thighs along with their hamburgers

- 16 huge pieces of boneless pork ribs, pure meat, no fat ... put BBQ sauce on them

I like not having to be concerned with food preparation during Thanksgiving holidays.

On a final note, I want to share something I am so thankful for. Being single, I do not feel obligated to be polite and watch that Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. LOL!

Last night, We had dinner out. We had the same app of chicken wonton tacos. I know, it sounds a little weird, but they. were. delicious. DC had honey chipotle chicken tenders with 4 cheese macaroni. I had steak with healthy grains and steamed greens and cherry tomatoes. It was pretty good but the steak could have had more seasoning. It wasn't anything that I couldn't jazz up though.

Tonight, it will likely be leftovers but I'm okay with that.

girl_dee · 11-23-2017, 07:23 AM

my lovely sister is bringing in seafood from NOLA.

Orema · 11-23-2017, 07:35 AM

Last night was mushroom ravioli that was delicious and tonight will be a chicken breast with stuffing, stir-fried veggies with lots of egg nog throughout the day.

Bèsame* · 11-23-2017, 08:46 AM

we opted for a dinner that isn't so traditional. Surf and turf!

The most I've done so far..chopped some veggies to marinate to top the green salad.

Then I thought about dessert, not pie, but super easy pumpkin mousse.
Oh, then last min, last night, I stopped to pick up the ingredients to make a 24 hour fruit salad. That will be the lonely left over!

Gayandgray · 11-23-2017, 09:24 AM

I have the turkey in the oven, I’m also making mashed taters, stuffing, cranberry sauce, rolls, greens, and I picked up a sweet potato pie and whipped cream. I wanted mincemeat pie but my butch spouse hates it so I didn’t bother to get it for just me. I would have ended up eating the whole thing! Her son is not doing well at all since his surgeries so this is the first Thanksgiving that he won’t come see his Mother. His wife is only having her Dad over for dinner, which is fine because after a family drama thing a few years ago we no longer want to be around her anymore. We are enjoying Thanksgiving with just the two of us and my bff will stop by later.

Oh, this must be all fresh fruit cut up and and diced, etc etc My mom used Del Monte can fruitcocktail ..............

Katniss · 11-23-2017, 08:12 PM

First what we did *not* have today;

We did not go to my parent's house and have a platter of disappointment laced with recrimination. There were no side dishes of mashed feelings, creamed egos, or baked grudges from years gone by. The meal did not end with a big slice of negativity and whipped anger. There was no Tupperware container of depression to cart home.

Instead my teen and I have been enjoying a week in the Fl Keys with sunshine, laughter and loving memories. The actual meal was black bean soup, fresh Cuban bread, grilled grouper with lump crab and lemon butter sauce, fresh grilled asparagus, "good" rice and mojito to drink. Key Lime pie for desert.

But even had we not had such a lovely meal there is still truth in "better a crust of bread in peace, than a feast in a house of strife."

Katniss~~wishing everyone a lovely season of blessings and thankfulness

ummm...no cutting occurred! We changed from regular fruit cocktail to the tropical fruit cocktail...I think it's Libby's?

And mini marshmallows.

girl_dee · 11-24-2017, 06:10 PM

spinach and artichoke dip with zucchini.

MsTinkerbelly · 11-24-2017, 06:38 PM

I cooked cheese and Chile chicken in my instapot.

A pound of frozen chicken breasts take just 10 minutes, so I had dinner on the table in 20 minutes after being gone all day.

Gemme · 11-25-2017, 06:40 AM

Last night, We had a giant pepperoni pizza slab and tonight it's chicken pot pie. Yay!

Chad · 11-25-2017, 09:19 AM

Today I am making Rachael Ray's turkey and stuffing soup. It is so good, I make it every year.
