What's for Dinner Tonight?

[JEV]

Thank you, Peeps.

Tonight was beef tips in a merlot reduction gravy, over fresh made whole wheat & basil fettuccine noodles. Buttered broccoli for a side.

Looks tasty Joe. We made homemade pot pies we had in the freezer. Down to one so will have to look at making more. They sure are good on a cold windy day.

I’M IN HEAVEN!! These are fantastic smoked bone-in pork chops. I haven’t been able to find any in so many years. I finally found them at Fairway supermarket.

Smoked bone-in pork chop, microwave steamed fresh baby spinach and mashed potatoes (butter, chives, sea salt, ground pepper and ½ & ½)

That does it Peeps. Time to kill a hog and get a loin smoked.

batter-dipped fried veggies & pepper-jack cheese. zucchini, peppers, green tomato, & vidalia onion.

I baked a haddock loin and made mashed taters and peas for sides. Added a touch of Old Bay over the lemon pepper and it gave it a little zest. Going to have to eat taters or plant them as they are popping sprouts in a hurry.

Typical St. Patty's day fare for dinner. Cooked the corned beef in the pressure cooker for 60 minutes and it was perfectly tender.

 

[muleman]

That looks nice Mama. I cooked a pork shoulder roast and sauerkraut and made mashed taters. Ate way too much and am full like a cow right now.

 

[Mama]

Thanks Muleman! I ate way too much too.

Hey! It's a holiday and therefore feasting time. I bought two corned beefs and put one in the freezer. I love corned beef on rye.

 

[JEV]

The girls and grandkids were here today, but since DW (Irish..go figure) doesn't like corned beef OR cooked cabbage, we had spaghetti with my homemade Italian sweet sausage and fresh Italian bread. No pictures as it was a little bit of chaos with a certain 2-year old having a mini meltdown right at serving time.

DW came home from work coughing and hacking with a cold. Seems like everyone at her work has had a cold or the flu in the past week or so, so it's not surprising that she caught it.

Anyway, she asked for French toast to go with the b'fast sausage, so my job is to satisfy her desire. She just had the toast, and I scrambled up the egg wash that had cinnamon in it...that's why the eggs are ugly!

Just for giggles, I pulled out the 40-year old Sunbeam 1250 watt fry pan to make the French toast in. I'd forgotten how nice this pan is to use. I was planning on making chicken paprikash this week, and I'll probably make it in the Sunbeam.

You can make me breakfast tomorrow. I made smoked sausage and mac&cheese. Then what I thought was applesauce turned out to be pears we froze last year.They are super sweet and a real treat I had forgot about. I need to root in the veggie freezer more often.

Chicken noodle soup in a sourdough no-knead bread bowl.

OK not really. Just saw this and thought

 

[JEV]

That's an oldie but goodie. My wife made those for the kids over 20 years ago, and they loved them. I'm glad you posted that, because I know what to make for my granddaughter the next time she's here.

OK not really. Just saw this and thought

As Sheldon Cooper would say on Big Bang,,
"Now that's eyetalian!"

 

[leadarrows]

I never seen anything like it before. Who thinks these things up?

 

[Mama]

We had bacon cheeseburger soup tonight.

 

[JEV]

Worked the last fish fry at church last night so no cooking here. The power glitch here on FF stopped me from posting Thursday's dinner, so here it is. Pan fried breaded pork chops with boiled redskins cooked in bacon grease with bacon, onions & green peppers, then enhanced with seasoned bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Steamed broccoli & carrots to make it somewhat healthy. The taters & chops were prepared in the cast iron skillets.

 

[luvs]

dinner was a few odds-&-ends. pasta w/ sausage & redd sauce, a few lentils, then shelled peanuts, & soon i'll peel a few clementines.

 

[lilbopeep]

WOW Joe that chop, tater and broccoli dinner looks awesome!

 

[JEV]

Why thank you, Peeps. It was delicious. Haven't cooked in a few days so no pics to post.

I made Polish Babka today (gotta post it on facebook so Barb can see it) with lemon zest, caraisins and raisins for a friend who is a disabled vet and fellow ham radio enthusiast. It's just him and his wife, so they don't often bake anything at home. Also making two loaves of egg bread and two loaves of cinnamon swirl bread today for Easter brunch (almost done with the first rise). I'll be freezing it after slicing it later, then bring it out Easter morning. Brunch is at 11:00, so it has plenty of time to thaw, and it's all for toast anyway (16-18 people).

Worked in the yard today and I got all the ornamental grasses cut back and burned all the branches. Now all my clothes need to go in the laundry room basket, because they will smell up the bathroom hamper. Phewwwww!

While I was doing that I made dinner rolls to take to my brother's home tomorrow for dinner. Then I took Thursday's leftover meatloaf, and made meatloaf pockets using up the rest of the dinner roll dough (the cheese belongs INSIDE the pocket, but I was distracted). They were OUTSTANDING! Made some buttered broccoli and the leftover veggies. We had pudding cups with whipped cream for dessert.

 

[lilbopeep]

Looks good Joe!!

Just finished a big pot of vegetarian chili, to be served over ditilini. Sorry, no pictures - next time I'll make sure to get
a couple.

 

[Catavenger]

Left over canned refried beans & canned tamales maybe a tortilla or 2 - yep real fancy bachelor special

It was a veritable food fest today from breakfast at SIL's -place, to dinner at my brother's farm. Here's the breakfast food...

Quiche with broccoli.

White & cinnamon bread toasted

Ham on the left and Slovenian Zelodec sausage on the right

Slovenian nut roll (Potica)

My conservative plate of brunch food.

Potatoes were made by a space alien who invaded the SIL's kitchen while she was at church. They were weird bad, but I kept my mouth shut. I only have to eat there once a year.

Here's the dinner food...

My dinner rolls that I brought.

DW's baked beans with smoked bacon topping.

Some weird broccoli stuff that the SIL made.

Sugardale ham. Damn, it was delicious.

Fruit salad made by the "plant based vegan" SIL.

Plate of Slovenian Zelodec garlic sausage.
