Probably leftover burgoo (Kentucky stew) that I made over the weekend. Even after eating quite a bit of it and giving some to my daughter, I have about 10 frozen meals in the freezer.

Home made creamy potato/bacon/cheese soup, crescent rolls w/ butter

Mexican Train group today, and we bring our own lunch. I had spinach quiche and broccoli salad, from Wal Mart and they both were quite tasty.

I had to rescue DH from vehicle trouble, in the middle of the tropical storm conditions. He took us to a really good Chinese buffet with sushi. I think that will be it for today, except maybe some popcorn.

I haven't had to cook dinner since .. hmm .. Friday? I really need some normal food!

I haven't had my big meal for the day, but I had two really good meals recently. The first is spiced pork chops with a reduction sauce that was really good, with roasted mini yellow potatoes and brussels sprouts. The other, is a recipe from Home Chef meals. It was really good. Makes me consider their service. Lemon Parmesan Orzo with roasted chicken. The orzo has cherry tomatoes and kale in it along with a really good sauce.

I am hosting a Halloween dinner this evening at a restaurant. I am thinking I will probably order the veal piccata or shrimp scampi depending on what I feel like having later. Calamari maybe. I don't know. I am still full from lunch.

Dessert is pumpkin burnt almond cake DH went and picked up for me a little while ago. He bought two. One for the party, one for us. The pumpkin cake part is seasonal. The burnt almond cake is to die for whether it's the plain vanilla, the chocolate or the seasonal pumpkin one.

I roasted a chicken this afternoon, it's smelling so good now. I have a left over baked potato, and some okra in the fridge I can make to go along. For dessert, it'll be my new favorite flavor of ice cream: brown butter bourbon truffle :-)

After our Dr appointments we went to Drunken Oyster and I had catfish, shrimp and Oyster.

Going to make a ( fake) crab salad for my dinner.

Nickel, I roasted two chickens yesterday. Giant Eagle had them BOGOF.. so today I had hot chicken sandwiches, whipped potatoes, gravy, and peas. After dinner yesterday I cleaned all the meat from the bones and froze the bones until I get around to making broth. Plenty of chicken left for a pot of chicken noodle soup.

Everyone's food sounds yummy.

Big shrimp salads.

Beef and broccoli stir fry over cauliflower rice, with sliced tomatoes on the side. I’m still doing low carb, but I cheated too much last week and need to get back on track.

Sandwiches made out of leftover pot roast.

Salmon steak, Fettuccine Alfredo, and steamed broccoli, key lime pie. Daughter cooked tonight.

Stuffed pepper, sliced tomato, ice cream

I grilled hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill.

Stir fried vegetables. Some of the vegetables were from our garden. Seasoned with curry with extra turmeric,and served over rice noodles seasoned with toasted sesame oil. Tea after supper, as it is getting chilly in the house tonight.

Busy making Italian meatballs for the freezer, after whichI had left-over shrimp creole. Tomorrow we will have pot roast which I made for last night.

Shrimp cocktail, artichokes and sour dough baguette warmed in the oven.

Grilled salmon, grilled veggies (zucchini, asparagus, onions, and mushrooms) and quinoa.

Now that the temp dropped at least 25 degrees in the last hours, I look forward to roasting oven meals.

I really appreciate it when you reply to the 'dinner thread'. I often get ideas for some meals for in my future. So many good sounding meals.

Tonight we are going out for Mexican food. We eat Mexican food, either at a restaurant or what we make at home, at least once a week and usually more often. I really miss it when I can't have it; we were in Asia for three months last year and I REALLY missed it. Mexican food was the first thing I had to eat when we came home from that trip.

Seriously considering preparing some sauerkraut with thick pork chops with apples or dried cranberries in the Instant Pot. Or perhaps a nice hearty soup since the weather has turned chilly.

Cheryl and Kevin brought my supper to me last evening from Logan's Steakhouse. They bought a barbecued pork chop, a baked sweet potato, a side salad, 3 yeast rolls and a bag of peanuts in the shells. I only ate one roll and the pork chop and sweet potato. I ate the other two rolls with butter and Jelly for breakfast, and saved the salad for later today. I have not touched the peanuts yet. All was very good.

Sue

Hubby's appetite isn't up to par at all, so I made turkey soup. I used orzo instead of noodles for easier eating.

That soup looks wonderful. Glad to see Marilyn Sue posting--seems like shehas been absent. I had meatloaf for lunch today so have had a salad for dinner. Will probably have something else a little later.

Roast beef, Alfredo pasta with broccoli, roasted mushrooms and zucchini.

Son came down to borrow our SUV to drive up to Big Sur next weekend. While there, they are going to buy a rain barrel, so they needed our bigger vehicle. Before he left we took him to lunch at King's Fish House. I had fried shrimp, DH had catfish, and son had a fish and seafood stew. We shared desserts--key lime pie and bread pudding. I am still full.

Leftover pot roast cooked with carrots, pumpkin, mushrooms and mustard greens. I added some Zanzibar hot curry spice to it (in addition to the original seasonings) to "warm it up" a little on this coldish night. And pumpkin latte cream cake from the grocery.

Glad to see you, Marilyn Sue. Hope you are doing well.

Sue, I Hope your hubby was able to eat some of your soup. It looks wonderful.

We went to a housewarming party today. The hosts held an outdoor bbq and served chicken and rubs. The guests contributed sides. There were seeral appetizers, a couple of types of beans, cornbread, polenta,potato salad, Asian style salad, echilada casserole and I can't remember what else. There were also several desserts. All was yummy and I am stuffed!

Roasted chicken, smoked oyster dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce.

Well I was craving something hot & kind of gooey; had intended to have pea soup but just made Mac &Cheese with some of my tiny cherry tomatoes, spinach, baby kale & spring mix, and a sprinkle of bacon bits. I confess I used a box mix (really no faster than getting the cheese out of the freezer) ; I didn't add any of the butter it calls for though, instead I use fat free sour cream, a Tbs. of parmesan, enough water to make a smooth sauce after the powder is in, and a few grinds of black pepper.

We had shrimp gumbo.....or "shrimp dumbo" as my daughter called it when she was little.

Tonight we will be having cilantro lime chicken soup with an avocado/tomato salad and a baguette that has been warmed in the oven.
