What's Cooking Today?

9 years ago

I have a cherry cake baked and iced, a ten inch apple pie baked and a ten inch cherry pie with crumb topping in the oven. In awhile I will fix chicken and noodles. The food except for the cherry pie are going to a friend's home whose husband passed away. I may bake some muffins too. What is going on in your kitchen?

I've got family in town for dinner this evening and the menu is 3 racks of smoked ribs (hubby is working on them right now), an oven roasted brisket, baked beans, baked macaroni and cheese, green beans, French bread from scratch (I'm about to start it), raw veggies, with peach cobbler and banana pudding for dessert.

I'm bouncing between cooking and cleaning the house. Busy busy busy!!!

Your what's cooking thread makes me hungry and inspired. Chicken and noodles is a good comfort food dish. I am sorry for your friend.

I am not cooking today but I should be roasting or frying up the last of the peppers from the garden today, but I don't feel like doing the clean up. Tomorrow will be my next cooking day. Peppers, molasses or ginger cookies, and beef stew. Later I am going to my grandson's birthday dinner. My DD is doing all the cooking. Do i get credit for I supplying my mother's recipe for shrimp scampi?

Yesterday was my big cooking day. I made roasted tomato soup which I will share with DD and chicken francaise for dinner. DH liked the chicken even though he would rather have a steak anytime.

So I see someone wants a corned beef sandwich? Sorry, I haven't made the corned beef yet, but when I do you are very welcome to come here and have a sammie Bestlawn!!!! In a matter of fact there was no dinner cooking at this house tonight, I wanted to make Steak-Umms and when I went to get them they were not there. So, DH decided to go out to dinner and that is what we did tonight! I am so tired of fixing and eating the same old stuff, something interesting is what I want with same hot spices and wonderful flavoring.

I need to get up and get busy...have soup to make and laundry to do I'm thinking of trying that sugar free pumpkin cheesecake, but it calls for almond meal. I have almonds, but directions I've found for almond meal say to use a coffee grinder and flour sifter, and I have neither. I have a hand blender, I will try that. Only need 1/2 cup.

Followup on the Mexican Pot Roast recipe. Ended up not being too hot at all, interestingly. I am guessing that by shredding the pork the pepper had to be absorbed by much more product, thus reducing the heat level. Also, shredding the meat made this a very dense, there was very little broth left, so ladling it over the cornbread made it really thick. It was very tasty though. Am not sure I will make it anymore, though I might make it using 1-2 pounds ground pork or 1-2 pounds ground beef. The ground meat may be a better vehicle for the rest of the ingredients.

We got a batch of vegetables from the CSA my wife signed up for, including four small leeks. I was at a loss to come up with what to make so after a google search for "chicken and leeks" I made the following recipe: https://iowagirleats.com/2015/01/12/leek-and-mushroom-chicken-skillet/ I made steamed broccoli as the side rather than asparagus, but It was simply delicious. On the plus side, there still are two of the leeks left so I may make the exact same dish again tonight. On the down side, the CSA people said that "it wasn't working out for them", and that last night was going to be the last delivery, and they refunded the remainder of the money. :-(

I'm making double chocolate biscotti, and a batch of yeast rolls for the freezer to eat with soup when the cold air gets here!

I am making a version of Taco Soup with the ingredients I have on hand.... ground beef, three kinds of beans, onion, Taco mix..... whatever else there is. I don't have the ranch dressing mix. Then I am going to do something with the pork chops and chicken breasts in the fridge. Maybe a rice casserole with the chicken and something apple with the pork. I like to do several things at one time and then just warm up for the next week. I usually just wing the recipes.

Yum, everything sounds great. I have 2 loaves of Rhoads frozen bread dough raising, yes I'm cheating today. And a huge pot of chili simmering. I will freeze the chili into meal sizes. Going to try and bake a chocolate cake with peanutbutter frosting at some point today and blueberry muffins for Sunday morning.

I was outside today, too. The weather is just wonderful. Came in the house to cool down and think all of the biting bugs followed me in. No cooking today. One granddaughter made mac and cheese last night (she is experimenting with recipes for a potluck at work), so we will have those leftovers tonight. May cook some chicken to go with it, as well as some California mixed vegetables. Too eaten up with bug bites right now to even think straight.

Leftovers from yesterday for dinner today, but delicious and one of my favorites. DH cooked hamburgers on the BBQ and tossed some root vegetables and sweet peppers with olive oil and roasted them in the oven. Yummy!

I had taco salad too minus the crispy bowl. Hubby had a tostada and a taco supreme from our favorite Mexican take out. A couple of Michelob Ultra to top the day off!
