What's for supper.....Friday?

10 years ago

It's that time of year when I'm challenged to come up with some different ways to enjoy the veggies from our garden! Even I can suffer from zucchini fatigue, lol.

I googled around for recipes using zucchini and basil, in particular and found THIS RECIPE from Eat Yourself Skinny, a new-to-me website. I think it sounds fabuloso, don't you?

I'm going to put a chicken on the rotisserie, on the back porch because it's too darned hot, and slice up a couple of fresh picked tomatoes.

I'd like to try that dish, but won't unless some ambitious person makes and shares with me. ☺ I made beef barley soup today. I like soups even when the weather is sooo hot/humid. But of course I'm eating it in a room with ac on.

Talked to Sue on the phone today. She is super busy at the present time. I told her you all were missing her.

WOW>....never heard of zucchini pasta...spiralized! They have a video.....and I've never eaten a pine nut. This is all on my to-do list now. I thought grilled cauliflower looked amazing.

I made a beef enchilada casserole yesterday. Leftovers are even better the next day. Ice cream for dessert.

I bought a spiralizer a few years ago, out of my need for more ways to enjoy a seemingly never ending supply of zucchini. I love zuke, always have, and now I love it a jillion different ways!

Kathleen, those onion rings look good, and so does Shaun's bean soup. SharonCB, I think your grilled chicken looks even better than Wolf's gravy! Dixie, I don't know why I never think of making BBQ'd chicken and baked beans except in the summer, that sounds good. It's still bitterly cold here, right now it's 12F with windchills much lower than that. I went to the farm, filled tanks and checked feeders, treated the horses, checked for eggs. There weren't any. Elery and I came back and I made some black bean and venison chili: Yesterday Elery fired up the grill and made ribs while I roasted cauliflower. I couldn't seem to get a good picture, though the ribs were very good: I made some savory muffins with feta, oregano, red peppers, onion, tomato and black olives. I picked out the olives, of course. It was another experiment for a possible wedding appetizer, I froze them on Friday and thawed them today and they held up well, so we'll add that to the list of possibles: Friday night I made some panko breaded fish which I baked, along with some roasted zucchini, cabbage, sweet potato and tomato slices. As usual, the panko came off the fish, I should have just saved my time and the panko: Annie

Wings for the Delicate

Thanks, AR_girl. Ann_T is right of course, it's not the same thing. But then it's a heck of a lot closer to the real thing than those breaded tenders with hot sauce that so many chains try to pass off as "boneless Buffalo wings." Really couldn't call the thighs breaded as the Wondra was dusted just enough to give the thinnest coat, intended to help the sauce stick a bit and the bread crumb dusting was far lighter and in retrospect probably inconsequential to the end result. As much as I love true Buffalo wings (which to me means plain wings deep-fried until nice and crispy then dunked in a simple mix of Franks and butter) my much healthier version satisfied my craving. Any compromise was negated by being able to eat them with a fork rather than suck my fingers which tends to skeeve me out. But then, what do I know. I served them with celery and (gasp) ranch dressing! LPink - "Small drumsticks"? Just a hunch but if they're noticably small you're probably buying drummettes. i.e. wings after all.

What's for Dinner........2/21/09

DH just asked the same question! My answer,the usual one,was "I have no idea"! I have nothing thawed out,as usual.LOL I have a couple of small round roasts in the freezer that I bought on sale in NM.Think I may put them in a sink full of cold water and thaw them,then cut off some steaks,beat the heck out of them and make chicken fried steak.Today is DH's birthday and he is feeling a little down because only one of the kids has called him to wish him happy Birthday so far.Chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes are his favorite meal and I haven't made them in a long time,so I think that's the menu! May be 8 o'clock before we eat but I guess that's OK too. By the way,why is it men get so bent out of shape when "everyone" doesn't wish them a happy birthday? I have to remind HIM when it's mine then it doesn't mean anything that he says it.LOL

Thanks for saying Hi to Sue. Yep....miss hearing from her....even tho she makes me feel like a 'shirker' (as my head chants "cherry pie, cherry pie". Come back Sue!

Like the recipe too...will try it. Purchased a hand peeler-like spiralizer a few days ago....looking forward to giving it a go. Our garden is sooo slow....no sign of tomatoes.. and did not plant a zucchini this year. Apricots and Plums are coming on tho!

We had pork chops......mine breaded and his just with spices.Home-fries and corn. I bought some chia seeds the other day and I put some in the breading. I'm going to be incorporating them more into our diet, and put them in/on everything. I had some sprinkled on my ice cream.

Lovely meals tonight! nanny, I'm envious of your plums and apricots. I remember climbing a neighbor's tree to sit up in the branches, plucking the all ripe fruit within reach with my sticky little fingers.

We were going to have a cold dinner of last nights roast chicken leftovers, whatever else I could find in the refrigerator. Lots of odds and ends, berries, yogurt, blue cheese dressing and lots of salad fixings....

A friend down the street walked in a couple of hours ago and said it had felt like a 'chili' July day. He had chili in a slow cooker, and if you can believe it....the sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, hot sauce all in little bowls. Cornbread, butter, honey. I asked him why he thought he needed to bring cheese, onion, butter, honey to my house (it's not like cupboards are bare here ;0) and he said he just wanted to make sure everything was on hand. We dropped what we were doing (I was cleaning my office), we sat down, ate.

We're having a group here for pastitsio, pizza, salad on Tuesday. I'd better call his wife and invite them too.

I love impromptu meals like that, morz. I enjoy being on both the receiving and giving end.
