What Did We Eat Today?

[chessiegal]

Salmon and cilantro rice bowl with broccoli. 

[biakbiak]

Gochujang honey chicken wings and shrimp fried rice to use up some leftovers.

[annzeepark914]

I needed a break from cooking (or even thinking about cooking) so we ordered & picked up crabcake sandwich dinners from our neighborhood golf course restaurant. They were good (for inland crabcake sammies 😊) and I enjoyed being able to concentrate on the news.

[biakbiak]

Roasted chicken thighs slathered with a tarragon compound butter, over potatoes, and spicy broccoli.

[chessiegal]

Cajun spiced shrimp bake with zucchini and pepper rice

[chessiegal]

With a forecast of 4-8 inches of snow for today, I made red lentil soup with North African spices for lunch. We're having meatloaf, potatoes, and green beans for dinner. So far, the snow has fizzled out. It's been snowing since midnight and we don't even have an inch. The roads are clear.

[annzeepark914]

We got enough snow to be beautiful and our roads are clear. I sauted two salmon fillets in sesame oil, mural of flavor & garlic powder, and served w/ angel hair pasta in peanut sauce, and Spicy Mango Salad. 

[biakbiak]

Pasta with Italian sausage and a Caesar salad. 

[AimingforYoko]

Sticky Garlic pork chops and fried rice.

[biakbiak]

Chili and jalapeño cheddar cornbread. 

[Bastet]

I picked a bunch of Thai basil this afternoon, so I'm going to make a stir fry with that, Thai chiles, and chicken, with brown sauce.  The side salad will be red and green cabbage with chile lime dressing and a sprinkling of cilantro.

[MargeGunderson]

I made “bahn mi” rice bowls, which were made from ground pork cooked with a soy sauce/ginger mixture over rice, with cucumber, shredded carrot, cilantro, scallion, pickled onions, and a mayo/sriracha sauce. 

[biakbiak]

Peruvian roast chicken with a spicy cilantro sauce, blackened carrots and green rice.

I did my super easy version of tandoori chicken: mix plain yogurt with some very hot curry paste (Patak makes good curry paste that comes in a glass jar and lasts in your refrigerator forever) and marinate the chicken thighs in the mixture, then bake low and slow until done. Accompanied with a lovely tangerine for dessert and a few glasses of chenin blanc.

[biakbiak]

We got some lovely jamon Iberico so did tapas! Pan con tomato with the iberico, a soufflé omelette with  piquillo peppers, garlic shrimp, mushrooms in garlic sauce, bacon wrapped dates, and a croquette with leftover green rice and manchego. 

[Bastet]

I've decided to make spaghetti aglia e olio with shrimp.  Aglia e olio is the only way I'll eat spaghetti noodles, and I have some that have been hanging around the pantry for a long time.  The salad will be arugula, radicchio, and endive with balsamic vinaigrette and pine nuts.

That will pretty much use up the last of my greens, other than some cabbage, so I will have to venture out to the market tomorrow.

[annzeepark914]

Ham steak, (Bob's) mashed potatoes, and salad. A fast & easy supper.

[chessiegal]

I wanted to make a meatloaf, but didn't have any ground beef, so I thawed some Omaha Steaks hamburgers and made one, served with green beans and seasoned oven potatoes. Omaha Steaks chocolate caramel mousse cups for dessert.

[annzeepark914]

Grilled pork tenderloin, Spanish roasted potato salad, and key lime pie.

[chessiegal]

Pork chorizo, potato, and fig bake.

[annzeepark914]

I ordered Thai delivery. The Stupor Bowl fan made his vegetarian chili (great aroma, but boring). Cardamom coffee cake or key lime pie for dessert. And the beautiful snowfall ended at noon and melted, mostly. 

[biakbiak]

Ham and white bean soup and sourdough. 

[chessiegal]

Creamy chipotle chicken over cilantro rice.

[Boston]

Slow cooker thick-cut pork chops in barbecue sauce with onions and peppers.  Added some green beans at the end.  Served 2 of my neighbors and they were thrilled (it's a Covid thing.. we all share cooking, recipes, and feeding).

[chessiegal]

I'm putting the grill master to work tonight while we have no snow on the deck or grill. Filet mignon, baked potato, and broccoli.

They've been having a hard time predicting the snow this winter, but because we live on the Chesapeake Bay, our weather can be different than 30 miles to our west.

[biakbiak]

Chicken katsu, I used half blitzed wasabi peas with the Pablo, bulldog sauce, red cabbage slaw, homemade spicy shiso pickles, and rice. 

[annzeepark914]

Pasta with baked feta (and some baked fresh mozzarella) & cherry tomatoes.

[blueray]

Chicken Parm tonight with a side of spaghetti. 

[AimingforYoko]

Fried Chicken using J. Kenji López-Alt's recipe, with coleslaw.

[isalicat]

My fav market had prime kabobs on sale so I grilled them up - classic meat on a stick with 'shrooms, squash and vidalia onions, brushed with olive oil and liberally garliced and peppered 🙂

[chessiegal]

Spicy shrimp pasta with broccoli.

[annzeepark914]

Fried green tomatoes with comeback sauce.

comeback sauce

I had to look that up.  I only like mustard that has no vinegar in it, and I don't much care for ketchup, but I think if I used my own mustard (which is just mustard powder and water) and kept the ketchup minimal, I'd find that a tasty dipping sauce.  I'll file that away in the back of my mind.

[biakbiak]

We had a bunch of leftover rice so broccoli cheddar rice casserole. 

[chessiegal]

Tomato cheese omelets with bacon and biscuits.

My husband made the bacon. When he got it out of the fridge he remarked about how much food we had. Based on weather forecasts, I'm prepared to be iced in. Hope not, but as long as we don't lose electricity, we're ready to stay put for awhile.

[Boston]

The other half of a steak I had (only red meat once in a month) - so cut it in half) and grilled asparagus

[biakbiak]

Pork chops with a sour Cherry pan sauce, braised cabbage and roasted potatoes. 

[callie lee 29]

Grilled cheese sandwich and homemade butternut and acorn squash soup (which was very good if I may say).

[blueray]

For Valentines day, we are having Steak and Mash-potatoes.

[chessiegal]

Seared scallops with mushroom risotto and chocolate pistachio truffles for dessert.

[MargeGunderson]

Shrimp cocktail, spinach salad with pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, and basil vinaigrette, and fettuccine Alfredo. I bought mini sfogliatelle from Whole Foods for dessert, but I don’t think I’m going to eat mine today. Oh, and a large glass of sangria. 

[biakbiak]

My parents knowing the way to my heart is rarely chicolate sent us a huge ass care package from Russ and Daughters so it was bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, whitefish salad, pickled herring and because sometimes chocolate does hit the mark chocolate babka! 

[Boston]

This is more of WHAT ARE WE MAKING TODAY?  I was up at 4:30am.. It is now 6:30 am.  I am making chinese chop suey (because my girlfriend/hairdresser) gave me a recipe.. the only thing i couldn't get was water chestnuts.. It will still be good.. and my neighbor was over here yesterday (trying to get some tech stuff working.. i have no clue) but he said he LOVED my slow cooker pork chops/barbecue sauce with peppers and onions - so i'm making that later for him.  I love to cook and I love to share it with my friends.. and if they like it?  Even better.

[chessiegal]

Garlic shrimp with Spanish style potatoes.

[biakbiak]

Shrimp po’ boys, coleslaw, and potato salad.

[Mindthinkr]

Spinach risotto with one chocolate truffle for dessert. 

[chessiegal]

Knock on wood, we made it through our ice event today without losing power, so I made meatloaf, seasoned oven potatoes, and green beans.

[PRgal]

Today’s (Thursday) is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and according to tradition, is “human day” or “everyone’s birthday.”  It’s customary to eat long noodles to symbolize longevity (people eat long noodles on their real birthday as well).  I made a dan dan mien inspired dish I’ve called Cin Cin mien.  Ummm, it’s not really all that Chinese except for soy sauce.  Instead of Chinese sesame paste, I used hummus (it has tahini in it, so why not, right?) and almond butter instead of peanut butter.....

 

 

[biakbiak]

My boyfriend’s bike ride took him near a restaurant we haven’t been to since last March so we had a feast of chili crab, Dan Dan noodles, beef rolls, mapo tofu, and dry fried long beans.

My next door neighbors decided to grow stuff in raised garden beds starting last March (well, what else did we have to do?) and we have been trading herbs and such; last week I gave them a big bag of my Myers lemons and in return got a wonderful full bag of freshly picked thyme. So although it is decidedly not Thanksgiving, I made a turkey breast with lots of garlic, thyme, a bit of black pepper and butter and it came out wonderfully for dinner last night. Now I have turkey leftovers for a few days yay!
