What's for Dinner Tonight?

Corn on the Cob sure sounds good!!!

.


Not sure what tonight's dinner will be at our house.

We are "Freezer Diving" tonight and watching a movie.

So its likely we will have "crap fiesta" with some combination of frozen appetizers, deserts, maybe left over bits of pizza that is buried in there.
 
Pasta, red sauce with onions, bell peppers, and garlic, and locally raised ground beef. The local beef has the taste like I remember from my youth. The beef in the market today has no taste.
 
Tonight's dinner will be...

Hamburger Spanish Rice With Bacon

Lettuce Salad with Romaine Lettuce, Grape Tomatoes, Yellow Pear Tomatoes, Croutons, and Salad Dressing of choice



I am also posting the recipe for Hamburger Spanish Rice with Bacon, as it's one of my favorite main dishes!


This meaty Spanish rice has lots of flavor. Every time I make this dish, it reminds me of my childhood days when I was in grade school, and the delicious hamburger Spanish rice which was served for lunch. Prep time includes cooking the bacon, hamburger, and vegetables.

Hamburger Spanish Rice With Bacon

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

6 slices bacon
1 lb. hamburger
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 of one green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
2 cups water
1 (14.5 ounce) can tomatoes, cut-up (*See note)
2/3 cup long grain white rice

In a 12-inch skillet, cook bacon slices until crisp; drain on paper towel and set aside.

In the same skillet, along with the bacon grease, brown the hamburger and cook the vegetables;
then drain off any excess grease in a colander.

Return cooked beef and vegetables to the skillet, then add the remaining ingredients.

Crumble the cooked bacon; add to the skillet, and stir.

Bring ingredients in skillet to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes,
or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, and stirring occasionally.

Yields: 5-6 servings

*Note: You can substitute stewed tomatoes for the regular canned tomatoes.
 
Homemade basil whole wheat fettuccini Alfredo with broccoli and grilled chicken. This was by request of DD for her 37th birthday celebration.

I eat at weird hours.
I fixed drumsticks Friday. I had potatoes & mixed veggies on the side. Saturday I ate leftovers. So today I had a late lunch around 2 PM. I heated it up (one drumstick left) in the microwave and added shredded cheese and heated that up over it. I added some rice (cheated made the easy kind in the cup). I also had cheese over that. I kind of surprised myself that the chicken came out so good. I got three meals out of it.
Now I am making myself hungry and don't know what I will eat later.
 
1 piece of cake with way too much sugar icing.

2 left over pieces of fried chicken from Popeyes. One of which was chewed on slightly by the new puppy.

A mug of vanilla ice cream, topped with chocolate sauce and 3 cherries.

Some liver sausage on chia & pita crackers.

In that order :hammer:
 
It's 110 outside. Had to take hubby to get his legs wrapped and then he wanted to go to the grocery store. It took me an hour to stop sweating. I am not cooking. Home Run pizza and a salad.
 
Took my wife out for supper for our 2 year anniversary. Prime rib. soup, sallad bar. Fresh sweet rolls coming out of the oven every 10 minutes. Yum. I stuffed now.

Tonight's dinner will be...

Pork Sausage Gravy over Grands! Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits

Leafy green lettuce served with cooked crumbled bacon, slices of hard boiled eggs, croutons, and topped with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese, grape tomatoes from our garden, and honey mustard salad dressing
 
I got a lemon pepper rotisserie chicken at the store and some cucumber and onion salad.
That was a good combination.

That was last night :hammer:

Tonight we are having burgers on the grill. I made meatloaf the other day, had some extra 80/20 ground chuck so made up a handful of nice thick patties for grilling.

Homemade sweet & hot pickled veggies (pickles, cauliflower, onion & peppers). They are actually not quite sweet enough, but still pretty good. Not the best batch we've canned, but they won't go to waste.

Probably a side salad, or apple sauce, or baked beans? Or maybe a combination of those things?
 
Made a small potato salad, and some chicken salad. Will wash it down with some A&W root beer and then a big hunk of sweet watermelon.
