What's for Dinner Tonight?

My neighbor took his Dexter bull down to the butcher last month. got afew lbs of extremely low fat ground beef. Very strong flaover.

My first attempt with it will be pasta sauce win celery, onion mushrooms and green peppers. canned crushed tommatoes, (yes Red Gold) for tomato base.

Basil, Oregano, Cilantro,,,,the ususal suspects for seasoning.

All over Penne Riggatti Mostocioli.

Simple but safe on the first try with this very strong meat.

JEV, need a roomate? that looks yummy.

Thank you Lollie. Is that chunky soup over rice? I lived on that when I was 17 and first on my own. Brings back some memories.
 
Thanks, everyone. Franc, the other side of the bed is already filled with my sweetie, and I'm not taking in boarders...sorry. If you're in the neighborhood, you're welcome to stop on by for a bite to eat.

Thanks JEV.

Not lookin for a bed, just a free meal I didn't have to cook.

Once in a while that's kinda nice.

Glad to hear you got your little heaven all laid out.:flowers:

My Sweetie had another long day, so I put on my thinking cap for something different. I baked off some seasoned Country Ribs for about 90 minutes, then cubed them up, topped them with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and put them under the broiler to warm them up. Cut up some Idaho taters about 1/4" thick, sprayed them with EVOO and topped 'em with mixed Italian herbs, salt & pepper. Into the oven (covered) at 375 for 45 minuted, then 10 minutes uncovered to brown them up. Steamed some fresh cut carrots and broccoli, then coated with melted butter and garlic powder. Finally, took the last of the garden fresh tomatoes that were picked green and turned red over two weeks on the counter, and blended them with balsamic vinaigrette and thinly sliced red onion. DW was impressed, and soon joined the clean plate club. Whew! I get to stay for another night...

Looks great and I can relate.

My sweetie keeps me around for the cooking and honey do's.


My MOM always advised me "if ya can't be handsome, best learn to be handy" I was in my twenties when it hit me, exactly what she meant.

Thanks MOM.

I will have to try making some Country ribs like this Joe. That just made me hungry again. Love the Baby-Ray's BBQ also.

Be sure to cover them with foil to keep them from drying out. I line the pan with foil as well for easy cleanup. We have a countertop convection oven that is perfect for making small quantities of food like this, but the fan tends to dry out stuff that's not covered. Baked potatoes bake just fine, but not meats. Cutting up the meat before saucing gives you the opportunity to cut off some of the residual fat as well, and a few minutes under the broiler puts a little carmelization on the sauce. Yep, SBR is our favorite. Just finished the last of the ribletts for lunch, and they were goooooooooooooood!:w00t2:

Making turkey chili for dinner, and I'll get it started as soon as these lunch dishes are cleaned up.

I have a convection built into with my induction range. I usually cover meats when I'm using it to warm. We also have a warmer below that with multiple temperature settings also. Thanks for the tip though it is appreciated.

Love oats with milk added to bowl.
 
Something horrible landed on the desk from the dietary dept at work.
Don't ask, but I ate it.
Should have gone to McDonald's.
Damn..
 
We had tuna helper with extra cheese and it was great. Had not had that in a while and wanted something different. We always mix in veggies(onion,celery and peas) and added extra shredded cheddar.:clap:

High in sodium too isn't it?
Something like near 600 mg per serving?:shifty:
 
Fell asleep in the chair after dinner and never got to post this. Turkey chili (with blackberry jelly) and sweet cornbread with kernel corn. Pretty darn tasty.

The cornbread was so good that I heated up a piece with butter & honey for breakfast. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...!

:wow:I want some!! YUMMY
 
We had chili made with everything except the beans from right here on the farm. Wife even threw in some shredded zucchini and it was great. We have found a use for all that zucchini in a lot of tomato recipes. The tomatoes were a mix of fresh from the greenhouse and some we put up this summer. Green peppers,onions and our beef hamburger.
 
a few chix tenderloins w/ bell pepper, portobello, & shredded carrot. barley in place of rice, cooked in some demi-glace & garlic~

Green Grocer had Asperagras today. So last night's extra piece of garlic broiled chicken breast was sliced thin and placed over Spring pasta with bell peppers, succhinni squash, yellow onions, celery and portabello mushrooms with ...asperagras. All done in olive oil and over ribbed linguinni. With a black pepper & romano cheese based white sauce

After a bowl full Cathy decided I could stay on for a while.
