Chicken and (fluffy) dumplings.

A very rare treat. Ordering pizza. I am too sick to care about it. Hubz is home today so he will throw a salad together to go with it. There's cookies I stuffed with ice cream a few days ago in the freezer if they want a sweet. I may try to eat some chicken ramen but really doubt it.

Shirley green beans, potatoes and ham is one of my favorites. Enjoy.

We had bacon and eggs late, brunch. Probably something very light later on for dinner. I might throw a soup together.

I have a little more than half a Costco rotisserie chicken left so I went to the store to get some sauce to make butter chicken. I always add broccoli and pineapple chunks to the sauce. I will make basmati rice in the Instant Pot and for dessert I have some raspberries and strawberries which I will mascerate to serve over custard. Usually on Thursday, Friday and Saturday I don't cook a big meal and usually just pick at leftovers or have a sandwich or make eggs. Ihave to use the left over chicken so tonight I am cooking. I always get cravings for butter chicken

Making a huge pot of turkey chili on this dreary day. Will have it for leftovers for the weekend!

cherryfizz: Would you mind telling more details about the butter chicken? What kind of sauce, for example? Thanks

Never heard of butter chicken?

I drove my daughter up to Cleveland to catch an early flight. While there I stopped into a Jewish Deli and bought a couple of knishes -- ate one on the way home (combined breakfast and lunch) and had the other for supper. Also had some of the vegetable remaining from the pot roast that I made 2 days ago.

Ravencajun, butter chicken is an indian dish, very tasty. I buy packets of premade sauce -- it has onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, paprika, cashews and other spices; butter is added when cooking the chicken.

Butter chicken is an East Indian dish. Not spicy hot but very flavourful. I have made it from scratch but usually I just buy a jar of sauce and add some cream to it. I also simmer broccoli in the sauce with the chicken and I love to add pineapple which is not a usual ingredient but I like it. You can serve it with rice but I like to serve it over bow tie noodles. It is one of my favourite dishes to eat. https://youtu.be/a03U45jFxOI

Cherryfizz, that sounds great. Could you please share the brand of sauce you buy and where you get it? My local grocery seems to not carry a lot of things and I often need to look elsewhere when trying a new recipe.

We had tomato, basil, mozzarella crepes for dinner. I'm trying to use my tomatoes and basil that I've been growing over the summer. That's why we had Italian grilled cheese sandwiches another night this week.

I made a casserole: diced potato, bacon, onion, cheese. Chocolate cake with chocolate icing for dessert.

We had half a smoked leg of lamb in the freezer and made lamb stew with potatoes, carrots and onions added. It will be served with crusty sour dough bread. Later in the evening we will split the last peach of the summer season.

I love lamb but have only ever cooked lamb chops.

My favourite butter chicken sauce is from KFI - which I can find at Zehrs or when Costco has it as one of their promotions. I usually purchase several jars of it when Costco has it in stock. VH sauce isn't bad, that is the first butter chicken sauce I used the first time I made butter chicken. I live in Canada so not sure what sauces are available in the US but if you can't find it in the aisle where Asian sauces are usually stocked you might find it in the International aisle of your grocery store. https://kfisauces.com/product/butter-chicken/

We had Taco Salad.

cherryfizz, I was the same as you until one year we bought a whole lamb from a friend who raised them each spring. It was just delicious and without that gamey flavor that lamb sometimes has. After it was gone, I was much more likely to buy other cuts besides the chops. Our favorites are the chops, shanks, leg of lamb and ground lamb for burgers every now and then.

We get pizza delivered on Fridays. I’m craving pork and red cabbage though.

Just 2 plain baked chicken legs with a baked potato. Also some red grapes.

I went to work with SO today. We stopped at a tiny bbq stand for some really good cheeseburgers.

Went to dinner with an old friend tonight. We had Mexican. yum!

On daughters trip home from vacation in the Outer Banks last Monday they stopped in Chambersburg for peaches. So we were treated to the wonderful 'Blushing Peach Pie' that comes out of her kitchen every year at this time. Yes, with 2 diabetics at our table of 4, peach pie was the only thing on the dinner menu. Didn't make me mad at all! LOL

DawnInCal, I love lamb burgers. Whenever I crave a burger I go to a restaurant that serves up a really good lamb and feta burger. haha my friends think I am crazy for ordering a lamb burger but it is so good. I will have to try to cook some of the other cuts of lamb.

I want to eat at your house, gadgets. Last night we had left over shrimp gumbo. I don't know what we will have tonight. We are going to Houston to take some shrimp to our daughter. May grab a bite to eat out.

cherryfizz, your friends don't know what they are missing!

Taking a break from lamb stew tonight and having pork chops, green beans and corn on the cob. Veggies are from the farmers market which I am going to miss very much after it shuts down next week. Ah well, they will be back in May.
