What's for dinner?

Are you Greg?

HA R1!

I forgot to sign my name "Not Greg."

I swear to you, I meant to do that but clicked "submit" before I could sign my post.

My MIL makes homemade pasta. I asked her to teach me this year. It is surprisingly easy. One of my favorite things to do now.

Very nice! I can honestly say I never care about what I'm going to eat. It's not something I spend time thinking about. I'll just grab an apple, make a pbj, order doordash or skip the meal all together more often than not but I respect people who are thoughtful about their meals.

Your ribs look great!

Oh, dear. And half a demerit for humble-bragging.

Does anyone know how to make a crab louie dressing?

I wanted to make a romaine salad topped with crab louie dressing.

Is it true that there's hard boiled egg in the dressing?

Sardines and Prunes.

Apart from the bolognese sauce and maybe the potato salad, I don’t think any of them are suitable for storing and eating later.

So, I assume, then, OP, this was really Friday night's dinner. YTF.

Tonight I was lazy and made Chicken ala King.

Boiled frozen peas and carrots, cream of mushroom soup, pieces of leftover rotisserie chicken, and lots of seasoning.

I also made myself a green salad with tomatoes, onions, hard boiled eggs, bacon bits, croutons, and thousand island dressing.

It was all quite good.

i guess r3 has finally given up her career girl phase and embracing housewife-hood

Trader Joe’s chicken Waldorf salad..maple syrup in dressing not too sweet….it’s a variation on the original

I have cooked that entire meal 2 weeks ago, except for the spaghetti noodles. my neighbor makes Eggplant& Zucchini noodles. I LOVE curry too!

That is too much food, OP. I had melon, some Italian ham, olives, capers, and 2 greek stuffed vine leaves with cool sweet Italian vino novello.

Spaghetti noodles?

So, spaghetti?

Why you cooking like it's the middle of December OP?

Crab Louie dressing is mainly ketchup and mayo, iirc. It’s like Thousand Island without the pickle relish.

I made London broil with Simply Potatoes mashed potatoes and broccolini. It was really good!

What we call "Pizza Hut Supreme Sandwiches" from our childhood, recreating a beloved treat.

So, basically a version of an Italian hogie.

Also, OP, are you single or are there other people in the household to eat all that food?

Because, that's a lot of food.

i had avocado on multigrain toast with tomato and melted cheese and some cut up fruit.

Op, are you for real. I wish you lived with me. It all sounds like prefection. I'm the cook in my home and I want the tables turned.

Yesterday I cooked meals for the entire weekend.

I made corn chowder, steak stir fry, fried burgers, german potato salad, and a tossed green salad.

Now I don't have to cook!

Bolognese sauce does not traditionally have mushrooms in it.

You spent 7 hours cooking so you could reheat your food?

My Nonna says that bolognese can have pretty much anything in it, as long as the base is tomato sauce, and there's ground beef in it.

[quote]Spaghetti noodles.

I have never heard spaghetti called spaghetti noodles. I assume you're not Italian. Or live with any Italians. Or have ever heard of Italian food.

I just finished making a BIG batch of Broccoli White Bean Soup- it's vegan and creamy and very tasty.

The creaminess comes from the Great White Northern Beans. When the whole thing is done I use the immersion blender and I have a tasty, creamy, healthful vegan soup. I'm not vegan or vegetarian- I'm a FLEXItarian.

Is the broccoli blended too, R28?

Seems like it would be lacking texture.

I would blend the beans, but keep the broccoli in pieces.

shish kebabs with beef, tiny potatoes, mushrooms, red peppers and green and yellow squash.

Fast food

Just made some scrambled eggs, actually. Usually have that on Sunday nights.

I made a quick bolognese sauce with ground beef, carrots, onions, and black olives.

Also, made shrimp curry from scratch, as well as a couple of hamburger patties.

I also tried making pan fried chicken, but I over cooked it and it came out tough and dry.

Why is it that I can never cook chicken properly? It should be the easiest thing in the world to cook, but I always mess it up!

Op, are you on speed, or medication? So much food... Who do you cook for? Is this all for you?

I bet your place smells terrible lol

Tell us, Op... are you really a fattie?

Pizza!

On the menu: Rosemary Roasted Chicken, Crab Cakes (Louisiana Style), Mashed Potato, Sauteed Colorad Greens, with Roasted Carrots and Celery; sereved with Chicken Gravy and Spivey Aioli.

R38, how do you cook your chicken?

Do you have a fool proof way to make it soft and juicy, yet cooked all the way through?

Sounds like you are in a manic phase, OP.

It's Sunday night so probably just a big bowl of popcorn with Masterpiece Theatre.

I purchased some black garlic marinated chicken skewers from Sprouts yesterday. I’ve had them before and they are delicious! With it I’m making seasoned rice and some roasted broccolini.

A nice beef stew made with red wine, salad, and garlic bread.

You type fat, OP.

Tacos with fried tortillas.

I cooked chicken with soy sauce, chili powder, minced onions and garlic. I mixed it in with rice and black beans.

Hot weather here. Cold cereal (Grape Nuts in vanilla Silk soy milk). I'm contemplating eating cold foods, only, until the heat abates.

Yesterday I made baked lime-yogurt-cilantro marinated chicken thighs ($1.69/lb.!) with roasted broccoli w/garlic, as well as a chunky lentil and vegetable stew I've made a hundred times. I always have a big mixed green salad in the refrigerator, so dinners are easy to heat and serve up. I basically stopped ordering out about ten years ago since I have the time and basic skills. I can cook once or twice a week and have options for a nice dinner every night. It's more planning and shopping than cooking.

We're having homemade meatloaf. mashed potatoes, broccoli and a green salad. Boring - but YUMMY and FILLING. My hubby is a FANTASTIC cook.

Here's a recipe, R7. The eggs are in the salad; I suppose you could omit them if you wish.

My mom brought me a go-box from the buffet at Golden Corral. Fried fish, shrimp, buffalo wings and carrot cake.

Why all the heavy food?

It’s August, for Christ’s sake.

Yum, R51!

Lucky you. Sounds wonderful.

(r39) I always rub butter or bacon grease all over the bird including the cavity as well as under the skin. I place the well greased bird on top of some veggies and throw some lemon, garlic and onion inside the cavity. I always use a cast iron skillet and bake at 350F.

R47 Did you have a nice movement?

“ veggies”? “yummy”? “hubby”?

Do you all wear white frilly aprons while preparing your suburban feasts?

Not dinner, but I made easy nachos for lunch.

Chips, melted cheese, sour cream and salsa.

It took one minute in the microwave, and it was SO good.

Fuck off, R56. Just fuck off.

Walmart Vegetarian Chicken ramen. How the hell is chicken vegetarian? Nuked because it was too damned hot to cook anything else.

Really R53? All that crap from Golden Corral sounds like diarrhea to me!
