The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

I made boneless skinless chicken thighs again and some broccoli, then did up a quick cheese sauce and served it over baked potatoes.

[Adalaide]

Those burgers sound delicious!

I am happy to report that my first ever fried chicken (yes, ever) turned out freakin amazing. The only thing between me and a second piece was thoughts of buttoning my pants tomorrow.

Curried boneless chicken thighs with fried onions & broccoli!

I'm trying a new recipe, Cuban-style pork and sweet potato stew. It's done in a slow cooker and counts only 7 points on Weight Watcher's. Sounds like a winner, but I'll let you know later. I'm doing a black bean and corn salad with it.

We have become tired of the same old stuff, so I am trying to spread out to different cultures. I am "deep South" so I have found most of the ways to alter comfort food like fried chicken, mac and cheese, and all those garden vegetables with cornbread. Thai is easy and usually I don't even have to modify the recipes. Since someone told me about Tinkyada pasta, I have done quite a few Italian dishes.

My great revealation is that if I make a game of it, this gluten -free business is not so bad. Beats the heck out of being sick!

Mmm. That sounds good , let us know how it goes

I have my eye out for a good Thai green curry recipe if anyone has one :)

Making it fun is definitely the way to go. I like finding a new ingredient and trying it lots of ways. I can't get enough sprouts at the moment...we have pork tonight, probably stir fried ( with sprouts if Mr Mindwarp isn't home, without if he is)

[GottaSki]

Carnitas brewing in the crockpot - smells good.

Mixing flavors -- have some left over corn bread so going to make regular stuffing, but throw in a bit of green chili.

For me japanese sweet potato fries and pork without peppers.

Just registered - well waitlisted for Chemistry and Biology -- crazy I am voluntarily signing up for courses I successfully avoided in Business School -- here's hoping everyone on the waitlist gets in

Hopefully IH is faring better at the gym.

omg...I'm sore as hell..... holymotherofpearl

Our little co-ed! good for you taking classes again! I ducked Chem classes too ---but married a chemist. Life balances out.

BTW, it was a ridiculous -10 this morning, so you would be thrilled living here. Me? not so much

Dinner tonight:

Roasted chicken

Smashed potatoes for the hubs

Green beans (and I made a few extra sweet potatoes last night so I'll fry them up in coconut oil for me.)

Here is a green curry recipe for you. This whole site is quite authentic. Sprouts recipes too!

Thanks Sora

Looks gooood.

It may take me weeks to introduce all those ingredients on my elimination diet, but so worth it. Everyone has to have a goal, right?

My elliptical is right on the other side of my desk, so I actually can see it over the top of my monitor. I have been glaring at it all day. Evil torture device. It feels good to be able to be able to exercise but I'm not fond of the whole getting used to it thing. Can we both just hide in closets until our bodies adjust?

I'm too used up to cook, I'll oven the 2 pieces of fried chicken that survived last night intact and make some mashed potatoes to go with it and some corn. I hardly think I'll be suffering.

You're welcome. It will be worth the wait!

Dinner tonight is pork burgers with my green tomato chutney, steamed potatoes (sweet potato for me) and carrots, green salad.

[love2travel]

Sorta mish mash of yummies. Not the healthiest meal I have ever had...

Homemade Gingerale - it is sooooooooooooooooooo good!

I made some maple bacon chickpea candy that is surreal. Ooey gooey and wonderful.

Deviled Eggs with bourbon and horseradish cream

Homemade crackers with marinated feta (with sundried tomatoes, lemon zest, etc.)

[alex11602]

Lightly curried chicken and veggies over white rice. I used leftover chicken that didnt make it into the cheese sauce last night, needed something quick and easy since I watched my little cousin today and I don't think I have ever been so happy to have a child go home.

Sounds like little plates of heaven to me! YUM!!!!!!!!!

What is it about little cousins?! At least dinner sounds like a splendid end to the day.

[JNBunnie1]

I made cheeseburger chowder. Grass-fed beef, onions, potatos, pan-roasted cauliflower,

scallions, milk, sharp/extra sharp cheddar & romano, and a whole pound of sour cream.

Not for the the faint (or clogged!) of heart hahahahaha!!! Ooooooh so tasty, especially

in such cold weather.

[IrishHeart]

Hubs had pizza Friday night is pizza night, after all

but I had chicken & veg soup (no rice, no noodles, no crackers ...argh!)

Gym --day 3 this week (I rest in between) and still able to walk. whoohoo

and just to b%$@# a little.....It's really bloody cold here and I hate it. I want sun and heat.

I shoulda been at your house last night! That sounds sooooo good.

We're having a heatwave. It was up to 40 today. I had to go out this afternoon and just wore long sleeves and completely skipped a coat. This is of course following our extremely rare freezing rain storm yesterday.

Pork tonight. Pigs are such magical creatures. BBQ loin, mashed taters, garlic fried green beans. My husband is pretty sure that it is green bean fried garlic. Good thing he doesn't mind the smell, and I can be 100% sure he is not a vampire.

[GottaSki]

We are having another three days of rain -- a very good winter for us thus far -- we need water!

Dinner is Turkey Soup Encores for men and their friends.

Zu-noodles with some sort of meat for me.

Aebleskivers with hot carmel fudge sauce for them -- chocolate mooooooose for me, again -- hmmm may be time for more blueberry "ice cream"

[love2travel]

Tonight I made Creamy Shrimp and Grits with large stone ground grits. Sauce included thingers such as white wine, garlic, lemon juice, tomatoes, chipotles en adobo... For something green and relatively healthy (!) I added peas.

And for dessert I made Chocolate Pots de Creme for my dear husband. Talk about decadent and truffle-like.

Plus we had more bacon candy and homemade ginger ale.

[GottaSki]

Had to update and thank my hubby --

I didn't feel like preparing anything for me...so he heated coconut oil....added baby brussel sprouts....then skinny broccoli -- always forget the name of the thin baby stuff -- then added diced salmon jerky!!!! finished off with a few green onions and dumped on top of zu-noodles and mixed

One happy foodie here -- hmmm I wonder what he is angling for?

[JNBunnie1]

Broccolini?

[GottaSki]

Broccolini?

ya...may be that simple...brain frogs still jump thru my silly brain on occasion

[JNBunnie1]

HAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!

It's a complicated business, these vegetables....

[GottaSki]
