What's for dinner.......Wednesday?

I spatchcocked a chicken this morning and marinated it in buttermilk for the day. A bit drizzly outside, so it's baking in the oven. I made an apricot glaze to use on it....it's sweet, tangy, and spicy.

I've already cut up a buttercup squash into small chunks and have it on the stove cooking in a little broth. I'll add butter and a dash of cream before mashing. I love winter squash prepared as a savory dish.....not sweet or cinnamony.

Sauteed spinach on the side, too.

What good stuff are you folks having?

We went out to eat tonight. Hubby had stuffed peppers, mashed potatoes and fried okra and I had salmon, mashed potatoes with gravy and fried okra.

Left-over scalloped potatoes, a green pepper, onions, and tomato cooked together, and a cookie.

I cooked some dried lima beans. Had a bowl of them, and a piece of meatloaf I'd made earlier this week. It's so cold, windy, wet, miserable here in my part of Ohio. But so far the snowfall today has been only a slight covering. Shirley (Ellen: Glad to see you start the thread today.)

Raven, I finally remembered to pick up some asparagus! I'll have it tomorrow with something. Ellendi, tonight I just cooked it in a very basic way. I like having cold leftovers to put on a salad, in my green sludgies, soups, etc. One cup quinoa, rinsed and drained twice. Use a mesh strainer. Add one and a half cups water or broth to the pot with the quinoa, bring to a boil with the lid on....then turn heat down to simmer for ten minutes or so. Let sit for five minutes with the lid on after the heat is off. I also add it raw to any rice or mixed grains that I'm cooking. I even add it when I'm making pea or lentil soup! Always rinse it....it has a bitter taste otherwise.

Partymusic, it kind of was like a frittata. I was looking for something meatless because I'm going to have ham with a honey glaze to go with it. It was very good but I'm glad I did a trial run. Will do some tweaking. It had cubed hash browns, zucchini, onions, red bell pepper and spinach in it. I think I will cut the spinach in half. It also called for eggs and egg beaters. I just had eggs but didn't know how much to use in ratio to everything. Next time I will use the eggbeaters, too to give it a little more eggy base. With those adjustments, I think it will be great. I never saw a double yolk hard boiled egg either!

It looks like everyone here did better than I did tonight. Again. Eggs over easy, sausage patties, yogurt with some blueberries (from Chile, so imported which I don't usually do), toast from the loaf of bread my neighbor surprised me with. My SIL and her husband stopped and stayed long enough the pork chops I'd planned to cook weren't going to work. I had two only, so couldn't start them sooner, had nothing to offer for two extra plates. She said she had thawed a piece of salmon just big enough for two herself, but still stayed and gossiped. Longer than I would have liked. My baking neighbor is a doctor, divorced and living singly. He's teaching himself to bake bread - It's improving ;) I didn't wait for dinner and cut a piece while it was still hot from his oven, enjoyed it. I bought him a bread knife for Christmas - One afternoon last Fall he came over with a loaf of bread while I was outside working in the yard. He said he had bread for me but wanted half back, did I have a bread knife he could use ;)

Hi Rhizo!
I like roasting acorn squash with just some butter and s/p. I don't like brown sugar and sweet stuff. The squash is sweet all on its own.

Just had leftover meatloaf and the rest of the scalloped potatoes and cauliflower.

A huge honkin' baked potato topped with Stouffers creamed spinach. Icy cold Coke. Perfect cool and breezy fall weather at last !

I'm gearing up for soups, stews, and chowders FINALLY! I just cannot get in the mood until the chill settles in for good.

I've got a nice, meaty ham bone in the freezer that waves at me whenever I open the door. Pea soup in the near future, yum.

The recipes I've seen for Tuscan bean soup sound 'mahvelous'; I'll have to add that to my list.
