What's for dinner on Thursday?

12 years ago

We had plenty of chicken leftover from last night so I mixed up a chicken salad with onions, celery, toasted almonds, grapes. We'll add chopped chard from the garden and make wraps with WW flour tortillas. We'll have mixed fruit and yogurt later.

What are you all having today?

I've had a headache almost all day, so something easy. I'm thinking baked fish, roasted asparagus, and figs with goat cheese. If I feel like it maybe I'll grill some zucchini or squash (or get DH to do it).

I had to go to the store this afternoon. When I went by the 'hot foods', I saw they had chicken and jo jos on sale. So I decided to splurge and get that for my meal. I had a slice of watermelon also.

No rain today............... I'd do somersaults if I could.

Georgysmom, that sounds like a fun lunch (and supper) and a great way to share a meal with friends. Raven, congratulations! I know that you've been working hard to get those numbers under control. I sure remember when it FINALLY clicked with me that what I put in my body makes all the difference in my health. I'm planning on baking wings and drumetts for Superbowl Sunday....sweet and sour for me, hot for Robert. Lisa...there's something of an Asian theme tonight! Stir fry is a staple at our house as I always seem to have ingredients on hand. Your beef and broccoli was great, I know. The other theme on Thursday was leftovers. Frankly, our favorite food, lol. My husband actually anticipates leftovers, knowing that many things taste better the second time around. I know that your leftovers are yummy, jasdip. And leftover chili? Pass me a bowl! Sjerin, 'plain' food is wholesome food. Lentil soup makes me happy and I make it several times a year......with kale! I splash mine with hot sauce, too. It's one of the dishes that I'll make some pumpernickle croutons for. Again, congratulations to Raven.

Rhizo, I'm working on writing up the recipe for the "Jamaican Jambalaya" but it is difficult since one of the steps was make a dish of roasted sweet potato, plantain and onion, eat half of it, refrigerate the rest overnight, and add that to the Jambalaya. For the most part though it involved cooking the ingredients in a large skillet, setting some aside, and cooking others, eventually adding more and more until they are all in the large skillet, then lower heat to a simmer until the rice is done. Cooking plantains however is easy. The hardest part is waiting until the plantains are ripe enough. They are usually greenish-yellow when you buy them, but i feel they are best when they are completely black on the outside, which can take a couple of weeks after you buy them. Once they are ripe, it couldn't be easier. Lightly score the peel lengthwise, remove peel and slice plantain into 1/4 thick slices. Add oil to a large skillet, heat over medium high heat until oil shimmers, add plantain discs, cook until browned, flip, and cook the other side until browned. Remove to plate with paper towel. Lightly salt and serve.

We went out with our Wine and Dine group last night....delicious crab cake and filet dinner. You could cut the filet with a butter knife. I saved half for dinner tonight. DH doesn't want dinner until Christmas day. I'm sure he'll find something here to eat but wants to lose weight. Not the way to do it but since I won't have to cook, who am I to argue. LOL Patti, how are you feeling? I think about you every day. Dottie

Some of my favorite foods! I've been hungry for lasagna lately, but want to wait for Xmas eve. Robert loves my lasagna and that will be a treat for him. (Though I don't know why I don't make it more often!) Might have to have spaghetti tonight, though. I love news potatoes cooked in their jackets with a ham bone with green beans tossed in at the same time. A perfect pairing! Monica, sounds wonderful.....do you make your own wasabi sauce or have you found a great brand at the market? I love wasabi and always have a tin of the powder in order to make my own flavored mustards and mayo. But there are some darned good stuff available at the grocery....just soooo expensive. Ahhh, nothing beats a good peanut butter cookie! I'd probably not add any Reese's but I do add dark chocolate chips to part of every batch. And I like to use crunchy peanut butter. I think that I'll bake a couple of batches to share with my neighbors. If I told Robert that we were having tomato soup and grilled cheese for supper, he would break out his biggest smile! I always spark up the sandwich with different meats, cheeses, and veggies but that's me....he would be happy with a plain ol' grilled samich. Thank you all for inspiring me and others. It's such a simple gift.

I went on a picnic with a group of friends. We had fried chicken and everyone brought a dish to share. We had Mac and cheese which was yummy, broccoli salad, fruit salad, macaroni salad, rolls and brownies and cookies for dessert. It was lots of fun even if it was a bit too warm. Satine

Two Arby's beef and cheddar sandwiches.....those helped "up" my calorie intake for the day. Got weighed by the nurse at the doctor's office yesterday, and I've gained TWO pounds. That's a start. At least 8 more pounds to go.
