What's for Dinner Tonight?

I was given a ham bone with a lot of meat on it yesterday from my brother (funeral food from his MIL's passing). I was up early this morning, so I made ham-n-bean soup with carrots, celery & onion. While the soup was cooking I baked the no-knead bread that I mixed up last night, then put together a batch of hot dog buns with my egg bread recipe. Attached Images

The kids & grandkids were here all day today from 11 am on. My SIL requested my special lunch that he's been Jonesing for since the last time he was here...smoked Slovenian sausage with sauerkraut, mustard and horseradish on a homemade bun.




For dinner I deboned a whole chicken to make smothered chicken with egg dumplings. While making the smothered chicken I roasted the chicken bones, then made a pot of soup from them. I put the few remaining dumplings in the soup, and we'll have that for dinner tomorrow.





 
Breakfast for dinner. Very satisfying on a cold evening.

I could eat that right now Joe. Had home made scalloped potatoes and a haddock loin last night. Trying to cook and keep after everything while the wife heals is tough to do.:hammer:
 
I made pork & noodle casserole with corn & broccoli. Made a salad and cranberry relish for sides.

 
Thinking soup and grilled cheese tonight. Made a sirloin as a swiss steak with mashed taters and cauliflower last night. I am on a hunt for pearl onions since I am out.
 
i made fusilli & cheese w/ a few peas early on, then picked over kale salad w/ cranberry & ricotta salata, napa valley chix salad, apple-fennel salad, & a few other deli items.
 
& i read a few minutes ago that there is food being offered after they have a lite-nite nearby, to get this season goin'~ i'll be attendeing that, too.
 
Breakfast for dinner. Shredded a potato and fried it in diced sweet onions, butter & EVOO. Scrambled some eggs with chunks of ham, and microwaved some double smoked bacon. Couple of slices of homemade egg bread toasted with butter. Hot tea. I love breakfast for dinner.
 
Baby back ribs, medley of buttered fresh carrots, broccoli & cauliflower, and potatoes fried in bacon and onions. I don't have much of an appetite with this virus, but Mama still needs a meal when she come home from work.

We put some cubed beef in the slow cooker and then she got to hauling our Amish neighbors so they could do some Christmas shopping and groceries. Till she got home it was too late for vegetables so we cooked some good egg noodles and the beef was wonderful. So tender it would fall off your fork. I had given the Amish a 1/4 of a cow towards a load of firewood and the wife said she wants more next year. She made a roast and everybody loved it and ate it all gone in one setting. LOL That same roast would have made 4 meals for the wife and I.
 
Gotta feed the worker Muley. If you can't do it yourself, you need the young & healthy to do it for you. Go out back and kill something walking through the back yard and make it for dinner tonight.
 
there were pulled pork & k'bossy sammiches @ 1 bar last nite- maybe they have 'em tonite. i may head over there & see.
 
Homemade Cavatelli & garlic toasted roll. then I made a batch of English Muffins this morning.

Celebrated Melen's 19th birthday (a little early) with some steaks on the grill. A side of asparagas with bacon, a side of mushrooms & sauted onions. Followed up with store bought birthday cake.
 
earlier was a salad w/ many garnishes. i got a pkt. of vinaigrette to drizzle over that. dessert was candy. i'm hungry again, so multi-grain bread & ricotta may be on my agenda, soon. i have soup, too~ i luv those new-ish ones that they pkg. aseptically/in pouches, rather than cans.

Baked some home made chicken potpies tonight. Good easy to eat meal till I get this tooth yanked.

I LOVE homemade pot pies. I call them a "Meal in a Puddle." Nothing gets away from you, and you can eat them sitting in a recliner without making a mess.
 
real pot-pies rock.
those frozen ones my family made me ingest circa 1980's- those were another story. those consisted of (maybe) chix that was squishy & needed to be picked over to find those few chunks that were okay to ingest, a dilute gravy that lacked a significant flavor, both over- & under-cooked veggies, & a chitty crust. they were, i think 69 cents, tho.
 
I ate a ton of those frozen ones at my one job. Don't know if I could even stand one today. All I have to do is look at the sodium content and I know what that does to me. We have been making our own for about 6 years now and they are wonderful. Good for those hectic days when you don't feel like cooking.
