What's For DINNER Tonight?

[Ryan Johnson]

I take my hat off to you

I love Turkey but it seems to be so underrated in Aus. I would love to know how you cook your meatloaf

 

[Riverrose28]

OMG! 120 to feed, don't even want to think about it, you are awesome!

Saturday night we had roast beef, eyeround, mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese, and green beanS. So yesterday I put some chopped beef in the slow cooker, added a jar of pureed tomatoes, and opened one of the jars of mixed veggies I put up in the summer, and made corn bread. It made really great beef vegtable soup. Tonight I'm fixing baked chicken breast, rice and haven't decided on the veggie vet.

We are having leftovers from yesterday: crockpot sweet & tangy pork with extra slow cooked onions, (freshly baked) sweet potatoes, and buttered peas. It's a colorful looking plate LOL. Some yellow cake with chocolate frosting for dessert, too

Riverrose, that soup sounds delicious! I love soup.

Ryan, my meat loaf is simple (embarrassingly really)

I take 2lbs of ground beef, 2 eggs a cup of barbeque sauce and ...ehemmm... 1 pkg of stove top stuffing. Mix well, pack into a loaf pan and let it sit in the fridge for an hour (or more or less depending lol) and then bake at 350F until it pulls away from the sides of the pan (about an hour)

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I love soup too

The only thing i like about winter, oh and an open fire lol

Thankyou I may even try and make it tonight , sounds great

I was late home from work yesterday so I really lashed out and had poached eggs and toast for dinner lol

Ill stop on the way home and grab some ground beef for tonights meatloaf. Mum used to make it for me as a kid and I remember how good it tasted in sandwiches the following day

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Funny, my husband says it is far better in sandwiches the following day than it is for dinner the night its made. I will eat it as a premade sandwich, after all it has bread, sauce and meat, just not in the same form as a sandwich. LOL

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Ok I made the meatloaf and added a grated carrot, zucchini & a chopped onion. It was so good and so easy to make. I have left overs for dinner tonight and am looking forward to it.

Does anyone ever freeze the left overs and is it ok to do so ?

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

I often make extra loaves to freeze so if I don't want to cook I can pull out a premade meat and just add a vegie side or a salad. I will often fry slices of it (in bacon grease if I have it) to reheat it when its been frozen. Adds to the fat content and makes hubby happy lol. I like the idea of adding the grated vegies, its something I used to do with every meal I could think of when my kids were young. Spaghetti sauce was great with grated carrots added.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Excellent well im a big fan and its one of those dishes that you could continuously modify with different ideas if you wanted to.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Had left over meat loaf last night with some mashed potato and some peas and beans,

Tonight will be chicken Kiev's with some steamed vegies

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

We had leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner again tonight. I did cook lunch for the crowd tho and made macaroni and cheese for 60 along with cubed ham and fresh fruit.

 

[Jill]

Cheese tortellini (look like tiny pasta donuts filled with cheese from a frozen bag I will just boil) and cover in red sauce from a jar, green beans, spinach salad, and some break and bake pumpkin cream cheese cookies. Easy, not totally from a box, but hopefully good! It fits today's time frame

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Love Tortellini , Jill if you havent tried Agnolotti before, see if you can get some of them. They are a little like a big ravioli tho shaped more like a small pillow.

Last night I fried up a little Pork belly until it went crispy , then i added some green beans and some Onion, capsicum & cherry tomatos. Quick and easy.

I have some friends coming down from the city this weekend and have been asked to make a Pumpkin Curry ( One of my friends is vegan , so I will cook some chicken then add it at the end after serving hers)

I will whip up a salad and serve with some crusty bread.

Im a day in front of alot of you, so have a gr8 weekend when it arrives

 

[Jill]

I haven't had Agnolotti, but will look for it. I love pasta in every form

H wasn't very hungry last night so I just had some soup so tonight is the pasta, salad, cookies... I'm hungry enough for it now, a good 3hrs ahead of time LOL

 

[Jill]

Chicken stir fry with chicken breast, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and teriyaki sauce. Some fresh steamed rice as well and something for dessert.

 

[vickie gee]

I have some shrimp left over from last night. I was wondering about cooking up a dish this evening using them. Since I have some tortillas I am thinking about making shrimp quesadillas or shrimp enchiladas. I will likely just make up a recipe which is what I often do when cooking.

 

[Riverrose28]

We are having dear steak, marinated in beef stock, alittle soy sauce, and little of worstishire then fried crispy on the outside and pink on the inside, I'll slice it thin and serve on abed of rice smotherd in brown gravy. fried zucchinni served with ranch dressing for an appitizer, and corn on the cob.

 

[Jill]

Gosh, I'm missing that like button!

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Good heavens Riverrose, that has my mouth watering

. I am making turkey soup (have turkey and broth saved from Monday's Thanksgiving dinner) and baking buns to go with but I'd rather eat at your house
