What Did We Eat Today?

[biakbiak]

I made a Frankenrecipe part panzanella to use up the last of some staleish sourdough, a sort of Greek salad (I sacrilegiouly used romaine, the horror) topped with some grilled chicken marinated in yogurt, lemon and oregano.

Anyone plan to pig out in front of the TV while watching results?  I'm north of the border, but we're still keeping an eye on everything.  Doing chicken strips and tortillas tonight.  Caprese salad, beet salad (both store bought), sprouted greens.  I might steam some broccoli as well.  Yeah, it's kinda all over the place for tonight's dinner.

I just got home from Safeway where I bought a Bertolli dinner that I'll gussy up, some flowers, and a bottle of Prosecco. The griller was too tired after raking all day so I cut him some slack. Will start watching the news at 4--maybe that's when I should open the Prosecco :^)

I can’t handle it. I started with tacos and wine and I’m more drinking gin and eating peanut butter out of the jar. 

[chessiegal]

Orange and soy glazed cod with barley, vegetables, and marinated persimmon. (Blue Apron).

[biakbiak]

First time I felt up to cooking this week and went super lemony. With shrimp scampi and linguine with an arugula salad.

[chessiegal]

Picked up a mushroom and sausage pizza to be washed down with Prosecco.

[biakbiak]

A light meal: Homemade shrimp cocktail with champagne for apps. House of Prime Rib delivery with their house cut, salad (I love their dressing), creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding with a glorious Cab. 

[basiltherat]

I just love that there's a place that's called The House of Prime Rib!  My dinner will be Chicken Schnitzel from Aldi's, sauteed whole potatoes (from a can) and green beans (also from a can).  Not ambitious and not apologetic about it.

It’s an old school San Francisco institution from the 40s with classic table side service (they carve the meat and make the salads at your table, dessert cart, etc.) but takeout will do during these times! 

Dinner tonight is chicken marsala, some preparation of potatoes, and broccoli. Dessert is Chrissy Teigen’s banana bread if it makes it that long once it’s out of the oven.

[MargeGunderson]

I went old school - tuna noodle casserole (with peas) and chocolate cake for dessert.

[UniqueHandle]

I found my people! I cook every night but Saturday and love food.

Tonight I made Pumpkin Pasta for my husband and I and a pepperoni pizza for the teenagers.

[biakbiak]

Coconut milk braised chicken thighs with lemongrass and makrut lime leaves, peppers and jasmine rice. 

[chessiegal]

Take out from an Irish restaurant - potato leek soup, fish and chips, and bread pudding for dessert.

[MargeGunderson]

Day three of tuna noodle casserole and chocolate cake. I’m not mad about it!

[biakbiak]

Going through the chest freezer to start making room for holiday stuff and found some pulled pork and Dutch crunch rolls so made some bbq sauce, potato salad, and coleslaw.

[isalicat]

My favorite butcher (inside my favorite grocery store) had pork cutlets on sale (ridiculously low price) so I decided to try making weinerschnitzel (spelling?) and they came out delicious! I squeezed some Myers lemon juice over the top before eating...not sure that is even vaguely authentic but that little touch of lemony sourness complemented the breaded pork wonderfully. Accompanied with some sauvignon blanc (I'm not a beer drinker) and a large tangerine.

Most likely not Meyer lemons because they aren’t as popular in Europe but lemon is a traditional accompaniment.

BBQ shrimp and grits is on the menu tonight.

Leftover Mexican food (I caved and got tacos last night) and waiting for this tropical storm to hit.

@Gramto6 Texas Pete is a hot sauce. I don't like hot stuff so this is my limit on what I can manage. It is vineger-ey and smooth with no bitterness that I get from tabasco and most other sauces. I think I have that thing where you taste cilantro differently because I taste most hot sauces as a bitter ashy taste. Texas Pete provides just a bit of warmth and a good tangy-ness to most things. I am not one who enjoys hot things that just numb your mouth, taste bitter, and clear your sinuses. 

OMG! Just got 2 bottles of Texas Pete from Amazon! I love it! I am definitely a salt and vinegar person! I could drink this out of the bottle! I  love all sorts of hot sauce, this is a very mild one. Love Secret Aardvark Habanero pepper sauce, also Bravado Spice Co. Pineapple and Habanero Sauce and several other Bravado Spice co. flavors some hotter than others. I'm a spicy person, sambal oelek, sriracha,  this just ads to my arsenal. Thanks!

Last night was a simple, but delicious cheeseburger on the grill. I also had some half sour pickles on the side. I also like to grill the onion slice for flavor.                
It definitely needs to be squashed to fit in the mouth! 

 

[AimingforYoko]

Teriyaki-marinated country style ribs + two packets of ramen (minus the flavor packets) + Aldi's frozen Broccoli Stir-fry mix = Improv Stir Fry noodle bowl.

[annzeepark914]

Shrimp & Pasta salad.  It's my version of Ina's Lobster and Pasta (small shells). I put it on Boston lettuce and placed papaya slices along the side.  Very good and a nice change. Next time I'll cut back a teence on the fresh lemon juice.

[chessiegal]

Second takeout of the week. This one is a benefit for our local shelter for the chronically homeless. It's made by their bistro, which is staffed with graduates of their culinary arts program. Three course meal, kicking crab dip with homemade tortilla chips and bread, one order of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and veggies, one order of seared salmon with caramelized shallots, leeks, and fennel and herbed quinoa. Dessert is a chocolate meringue brownie. Each meal came with a bottle of wine. We got one bottle of champagne and one bottles of chardonnay.

[chessiegal]

Calabrian shrimp and orzo with tomatoes and parmesan cheese.

[biakbiak]

Chicken flautas, a red cabbage salad, Mexican rice, refried black beans, guacamole and lime crema. 

[MargeGunderson]

Roasted broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and sweet Italian sausages mixed with pasta and ricotta cheese. 

[biakbiak]

Sausage and peppers with soft polenta.

[chessiegal]

Blue Apron sent 18 oz. of shrimp last week when the recipe called for 10 oz. I split the shrimp, and used the rest to make a shrimp pesto pasta.

[biakbiak]

Black bean soup and cheese quesadillas and guacamole.

[annzeepark914]

Herb roasted tilapia fillets (Ina's recipe), roasted fingerling potatoes, and salad.

[MargeGunderson]

Peppered hanger steak, roasted potatoes and balsamic roasted vegetables.

Glazed pork meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli. 

[annzeepark914]

Eggs sunnyside up, hashbrown patties (from Trader Joe's), and breakfast sausages from TJ's...breakfast food for supper!

[Quof]

Running errands today, I found myself near my favourite cupcake shop. I'm rarely in the area when they are open, so I decided I needed a treat.  Customers were lined up out the door, and I didn't see any convenient parking, so I kept driving and decided God didn't want me to have cupcakes.  I then passed a great barbecue restaurant I don't get to often, so I pulled over and called in an order for pickup as my alternative treat.  I ran another errand, then headed back to pick up my barbecue.  As I drove past the cupcake shop, I saw there was no line and there was a parking spot right in front.  

Turns out, God wanted me to have brisket, cornbread, mac and cheese AND a pumpkin spice cupcake.

Treat yo self. 

[biakbiak]

Chicken katsu, spicy broccoli, rice and shiso spiced pickles I made awhile ago. 

[chessiegal]

Garlic caper chicken with fettuccini and zucchini. 

[annzeepark914]

Baked chicken breasts, dressing, gravy, & lingonberries. 

[isalicat]

Broiled lamb chops with rosemary sprigs from the ginormous rosemary bush that I planted in my backyard and is taking over....plus a very nice tangerine.

[biakbiak]

Clean our the fridge pasta salad with some canned tuna.

[Bastet]

I'll be eating pork chops with no vegetables, because I am a moron.  My parents are already at the lake in their motorhome, and took their produce with them, and I have just the right amount of won't still be good when I get back food left to kill off before I join them Wednesday.  I'm spending tonight at their house (with their cats), and dutifully brought my salad mix and dressing and some leftover stir fry for tomorrow's lunch ... but forgot my broccoli.  My mom left me two thin-cut pork chops, so I have those brining, but I have no side dish.  I'll just have extra salad, but what a dumbass; jeez, for a whopping four things, I need to write it down?

[annzeepark914]

Chicken, sauted onions & peppers, and cheese quesadillas with fresh salsa & sour cream on the side.

[chessiegal]

Chicken and wonton noodle stir-fry with veggies.

[MargeGunderson]

Hamburgers and French fries. I think I prefer my hamburgers at home; I can make them just the right size (4oz). 

[callie lee 29]

What will be for dinner is Chrissy Tiegen's spicy miso pasta paired with a French red and followed by a pumpkin cobbler.

[biakbiak]

Yogurt rice with pomegranates and roasted shrimp. 

[blueray]

Turkey Chile and Guacamole 🙂

[AimingforYoko]

Spaghetti alla Carbonara. I got inspired when I saw pancetta at Trader Joe's for 3 bucks.

Tonight was vegetable and shrimp pancakes.
