The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

[sora]

I am by myself for dinner tonight so think I will just eat a big plate of steamed veggies.

[alex11602]

Beef soup (beef, potatoes and carrots) and salad tonight.

[cahill]

Tonight is leftover meatloaf I pulled out of the freezer.

[IrishHeart]

Today is ENCORE day.

I never say "leftovers"...I figure if it was good to eat the first time, then it deserves an "encore".

I used up the chicken we had made on the rotisserie for dinner on Friday.

Made a roux and then added some stock, diced carrots, onions, celery, broccoli, corn, and some herbs and the diced chicken.

It gets thick and in the "old days" I would plop in dumplings or make a phyllo crust and put it in the oven.

Instead, I serve it with mashed potatoes and biscuits (hub's experiment using potato flour in the bread recipe this week --created biscuits instead )

Simple...chili in my crockpot and corn muffins.

Thai influenced chicken soup over rice.

Hubs has a cold or is in the middle of a hideous allergy attack. He needed his feel-good meal.

I was THINKING "encore" in my head but my fingers typed "leftovers". Bad fingers.

Tis true - usually encore dishes are re-invented or transformed into something else. Some people do not like encores but I do. Love 'em.

I always say encore (not leftovers) because if it was so yummy the first time, I want it AGAIN--the flavors just get better anyway!! Enjoy your encore!

We're having homemade chicken noodle soup tonight.

But I confess---it's from the totally dedicated Gluten Free Cafe/Bakery we go to after my physical therapy on Monday and Thursday--it's my reward Plus, she made almond cookies to die for. (insert drooling icon here)

(The owner is a fellow celiac and a heck of a baker!)

I'm making Skylark's red wine pot roast recipe

Oh, I want THAT instead-- sounds de-lish---Hi beebs! (IH is waving hand)

[beebs]

Its in the crock pot recipe section!

Hi Irishheart - how's it going over there?

[Cathey]

Leftovers - Sauerbraten, potato dumplings, Minestrone soup, veal marsala, mushroom risotto various vegetables. Might have soup and a panini with my gluten-free rye bread. Been a busy cooking weekend. Enjoy the evening all.

Ah...some German/Austrian influence! Sounds very good. Can you find gluten-free gingersnaps to put into the sauerbraten or do you make them? I LOVE sauerbraten.

What a good wife you are! Isn't it great to give him lovin' spoonfuls of food that won't hurt you or your children?

[sora]

I made pork burgers with sage and quinoa flat bread and acorn squash.

love2travel, how do you make potato chive pancakes please, sounds very delicious.

Hi Irishheart - how's it going over there?

I'm hanging in there, Beebs, thanks! How's beautiful NSW?

All right, I'm trying SOMETHING NEW TONIGHT. (speaking of crockpots...)

I have a slow cooker I received as a gift (2009)and I HAVE NEVER used it once --I know, what was I waiting for? I don't know--so I am making:

Butternut Squash Soup

(it's Kelli and Peter Bronski's recipe from Artisinal gluten-free Cooking)

[love2travel]

Today is cooking and baking day! Well, most days are. I am making:

Lemon Parlsey Pasta with Lemon Basil Pesto Sauce

Winter Greens with Toasted Almonds, Shaved Rustico Pecorino and Lemon Vinaigrette

For my husband's upcoming potluck at work I am making:

Ultimate Chocolate Marquise - it is absoluely amazing. It is sort of like frozen mousse with velvety texture akin to truffles. You place it in a bread pan and slice it and serve with raspberry coulis.

Doing a couple of test recipes, too - cannot tell you what they are!

So, I am loving today.

[sora]

I am having beef and broccoli with thai stick noodles.

And I'll make some peanut butter cookies with carob chips later.

[lucia]

Today is (vegetarian):

Chinese-style stir-fried noodles with egg & winter veggies

Happy Year of the Dragon!

Although it is Robbie Burns Day today I kind of wasn't thinking about that when planning tonight's menu. Robbie Burns wasn't Asian!

I made a delicious teriyaki sauce so we are having Beef Teriyaki with Broccoli and Carrots and white rice vermicelli. Not sure of what else at this point as I want to make a side, too.
