What's for dinner Saturday?

14 years ago

I'm winging it tonight. I have left over red potatoes and carrots from St. Patrick's day. I'm going to saute some Nettles smoked sausage, saute a small onion, and when the onion is soft I'll add diced carrots and potatoes. May even have a little cabbage left. We'll have thick slices of Italian bread with it. Found some nice pears in the store so I'll slice a couple of those, too.

What are you having tonight?

Gadgets I am not sure where I read or heard what to do with it. It was either googled or from my brother who knows a lot about saving food. I think he learned it from my DM. Tonight I had the second piece that was supposed to be my DH until he told me he was going to be gone and it was just as delicious. I just used flour and Lawry seasoning salt and fried it. I think I have about 8 more pieces. Because we are Catholic I will try to use them during lent now on Friday's because we don't eat meat.

No dinner tonight. We went to a birthday brunch, ate too much, and have been dragging around all day. Neither one of us are used to eating heavily at 10:30 in the morning. Left there and went to Costco since we were close, Fred Meyer (there isn't one here locally) then home and had company for a while. Brunch was at a casino. The food is good, I had bacon and tomato omelet, more. And I did gamble a little before we left. I had almost lost my $20, won it back so played some more (slots) and that time I did lose it. DH lost his $5 on a penny machine and quit :) We're not gamblers, and I must say, its a lot more fun when I can break even or win a little. My SIL had begun with $200 and was up to almost $700 in winnings when we left, she has more disposable income than I feel I do.

..Asking me for a recipe isn't usually something I can help with. But I'll try! And I know that I said orzo but I MEANT coucous! But it sure would work with orzo. Fix 1 cup coucous and 1/2 cup red quinoi according to the directions on their labels. Be sure to rinse the quinoa first, and I prefer the red....it tastes nuttier to me. I cook both of them in chicken broth. This salad can be made just with quinoi, but I didn't want to scare my guests. :-) Veggies....to equal about two cups or more : chopped green onions, red bell pepper, english cuke, chick peas (rinsed and drained), halved cherry tomatoes. Use your favorite vinaigrette . I made a lemon dressing with quarter cup fresh lemon juice, quarter cup olive oil, two cloves minced garlic, chopped fresh oregano, sugar, S & P to taste, and a splash of balsamic or other vineger. I didn't use all of the dressing. Add it to the couscous and quinoi while still warm, cover, and chill. When ready to serve, stir and taste to add more dressing if necessary. I added a bit of lemon zest on top for serving and fresh mint from the garden .

Don't you be coming down with a cold, or worse Patti! Nice and warm again today. It's probably the last before it turns cold again. (11C= 52F). Hung the laundry outside and hubby and I bought the curtain rod that I needed so we can hang some drapes. The apartment is outfitted with vertical blinds and I bought some burgundy panels that were on clearance, as I like the softness of curtains. We had to buy a 144" rod so we put that up today. Looks real nice and homey. I'll post a pic tomorrow or so. Made bran muffins today as well. Dinner was chicken parmigiana with spaghetti and a salad. The chicken breast was huge, and we pigged out. Man it was good.

We just finished huge, honkin' taco salads. OMG it was so good! That's going to be part of our regular roster! LOL
It's far less messy than regular tacos, too. At least.....I sure make a mess when I eat them!

My favorite midsummer main dish! Green beans cooked with potatoes and ham. It is possible to get 'fresh out of the garden' green beans this time of year at the local grocery store, but sadly the tomato slices still warm from the garden are missing. We will make do. Will make corn meal muffins to go with.

As usual everything sounds really good.

I made reuben meatloaves. I had one small white potato and one small sweet potato so baked them both. Also had creamed corn.

Mercy me, Glenda. I could go for that right about now!!

Susan, I love egg salad. Have you ever toasted one like you do grilled cheese. Super good! I need to make your dinner one night next week.

Jasdip (without the "k"), that's why we stopped eating tacos a long time ago and just moosh everything up on the plate. We had taco salad Wednesday and last night I warmed the leftover taco meat and put it on small wheat rolls with a little cheese and onion on top. Wrapped the sandwiches in foil and put in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Man, that was good, too!

I'm with you, Gazania. When I was a kid, that was one of my favorite dinners. Think I need a green bean fix, but they didn't look so good at Publix last week. Need to try the farmer's market.

Sue, only Special K? Did you eat that pie you were going to send me--LOL! I love rhubarb pie with ice cream. Yum!

Monica, I love parsley potatoes. I've "discovered" parsley lately and chop it up on almost everything and put it in my meatballs, too. Love that taste.

Shirley, I love your veggies, but I just can't eat saurkraut. It gives me the shivers to think about it. Strange, because I like almost all vegetables.

I made pork stir fry. We almost never see a nice peach or pear here and they sure sound yummy to me now.

No Patti, I did not eat pie or anything else, just cereal. Too tired to want more. Some are coming over after church today so was busy with food for today. Have a great Sunday.
