The Kitchen Table

What's for Dinner Wednesday?

9 years ago

I made a skillet of vegetables, black beans, frozen corn, flavoured with chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, some Ro-Tel tomatoes and I don't know what else. We had it with brown rice, all stuffed in a pita. Threw some feta cheese in there for good measure. Spicy and filling!

Cold, rainy, miserable day. Lots of ice on the cars this morning, and scraping. How was your day?

We had storms here in Ohio. I used to like them when I was younger, but don't anymore.
My main meal was just heated up leftovers. Very little prep, very little cleanup.

I fixed an Asian noodle dish, from a box, but added sauteed onions and peppers. Pretty good.

I'm not a sweets eater, either, but love warm ginger bread with lemon hard sauce or whipped cream. I think I see some in my near future! Angelaid, I do leave the skins on the sweet potatoes. Getting a real recipe from me is rare, lol. I so often invent toss this and that together. For the glaze, I mixed some peach jam, chili sauce, a bit of apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. The peach was the primary ingredient. It would be good with apricot or even apple jelly or jam, too. Thank you for the cookbook recommendations, Alisande.

I'm donating blood tomorrow, so last night I had spinach. Tonight I'm having liver. Plus a multi vitamin. Because my diet has sucked lately. I just hope it's enough to get my iron up so I can donate. #26!

Pam, we generally eat around 5. Today was super easy, threw the ziti in the microwave! Laura, don't ever worry about posting meals, a number of us have breakfast for dinner and that kind of thing. Less-than exotic meals! LOL Sue, I thought your meal was so good, real comfort food. Then I read "tv dinner". Too funny. Raven, Can you ship me some of your leftovers??? Ribs and brussels sprouts. Oh yummy. Laura we like tuna casserole, I make a roux and put hot sauce in, and peas. Gotta have peas in mine. Pam we like grilled pork chops better than steak! Are your potatoes on the grill as well? Lately I've been cutting the potatoes in slices and grilling them that way.

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 ;)

My neighbor and I went to Sprouts today because they had some great specials. I picked up a rotisserie bbq chicken, a loaf of fresh French bread and red leaf lettuce and tomatoes and cukes for a salad.

Great meals as usual!!!

Shirley, aren't leftovers grand? No thinking of what to cook and easy cleanup.

Phyllis, it's nice to take something handy and put your own touches in it.

Susan, I had to laugh at you taking yourself physically away from the kitchen to avoid eating more. I agree, the packaged meals are definitely portion-control!

Pam, leftover lasagna sounds good! Especially with your snowy weather.

Raven the rotisserie chickie and your sides make a great meal!

Angela, your dinner sounds so good. I really like the idea of the pasta and shrimp salad.

Cherryfizz your meal made my mouth water. Did you use chicken breasts?

I cut up one chicken breast which was more than enough for me with enough left over for two more meals

My garden is really starting to produce for me.....our favorite baby greens, sugar peas and snow peas, radishes, all so wonderful in big salads.

I coated some sliced chicken breast in a highly seasoned flour mixture and sizzled them up in a little oil. They were just a little bit crunchy.

I made the salad with mixed greens, garden veggies, chickpeas, quinoa, and the chicken slices. I made a lemon vinaigrette, so bright in flavor.

I'm getting ready to have leftovers for breakfast, lol.
