What's For DINNER Tonight?

[Ryan Johnson]

Thai Chicken salad last night. Marinated the chicken in Ginger, lime juice and chili the night before. Used some of the Thai basil that ive been growing

Ryan, that looks yummy!

We're supposed to get a literal blizzard today and tomorrow, which is full on comfort food weather!

We've got cheese burgers (already patted out) for lunch and I will make speghetti sauce today as well as some homemade dog food. I've been craving "ooey gooey butter cake", which is so bad for you, but... I've not made it in over a year ast least, we've got the ingredients and I'm in the mood to bake, so it's probably going to happen (maybe I can freeze half of it?)

Night before last was One Pot in Oven Asian Chicken and Carrots With Quinoa. Turnip greens and yams to go with the dish.

Last night was burgers topped with red onion, blue cheese, pickle stackers, jalapenos, and tomatoes. Also took some sweet potatoes and made oven baked chips. Yummy.

Tonight make something with Nathans wieners, maybe Chicago style hot dogs since I am without chili.

Sat Night was a pasta (Oil based) with Fetta, capsicum, sundried tomato, onion and sweet potato. Found this bread at the supermarket that was stuffed with Ricotta and Spinach. It was a nice change from having a basic garlic bread.

last night we had slow cooked lamb that I had done in the Slow Cooker. Love being able to do slightly larger pieces of meat as I can get two-three meals out of it.

Tonight will be lamb Tacos

Tomorrow is Our National holiday "Australia Day" So it will be a BBQ of some kind and a few beers

Hope everyone is ok with the snow and bad weather that we saw on the news here last night

We finished the spaghetti sauce last night. Making lemon chicken, mashed potatoes, and mixed veggies for dinner tonight. Easy, but hopefully yummy.

crock pot beef and noodles. Well the beef and cream of mushroom soup cook in the crock pot, then cook the noodles and supper time. Pour beef mixture over noodles.

 

[Jill]

Tonight it's honey glazed baked chicken, mashed sweet potatoes, and steamed broccoli

 

[Jill]

We liked the honey chicken a lot, so I'm planning to make it again tonight with more sweet potatoes and green beans this time

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Smokey BBQ Chicken thighs , grilled , with sweet potato and salad last night

 

[Jill]

Chicken fajitas, refried beans and salad

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Had a slack night in the kitchen last night. Ordered Thai from the new local shop and it was great. Penang Curry with Coconut rice and Roti bread with thai peanut sauce.

Tonight will be pork Cutlets and salad.

Jill , Not sure if you have seen it, but there is a page on FB called " Tasty" they have some of the best recipes on there and they are easy and quick as can be. Just saw one for chicken fajitas the other day and saved it as one id like to try

 

[Jill]

Thanks for the heads up, Ryan! I will look for that late on FB!

Tonight is probably a lazy chef night... Frozen pizza, salad, and either carrots or mixed veggies. I'll do a better job tomorrow, but to be honest, we like frozen pizza pretty well

 

[Jill]

What have you guys been making?

Ryan, I "liked" that FB page, Tasty. Thanks for a he heads up. I cazn see there arevca lot of good ideas on that page.

I made spaghetti sauce again today. H helped, so that was fun. It hit the spot just right last time (recent), and we made enough for a few nights plus enough to give to a friend. That and salad = dinner. I haven't eaten today and am hungry especially smelling the sauce which is in the crock pot now.

I made wet dog food today, too. I think everyone here with two or four legs is contemplating dinner

Yesterday I cooked a turkey breast in the oven and made dressing to go with it. About to do something with leftover turkey, maybe a turkey pot pie. I already have a couple of Pillsbury pie crusts on hand and plenty of veggies.

 

[Jill]

I've got a frozen boneless turkey breast I want to use soon. I've been planning to see if any recipes sound better than my usual go to for it.

We've got enough soeghetti sauce for dinner again tonight and tomorrow, even though I sent a good amount to our friend. We just need to boil pasta and make fresh salads tonight and tomorrow.

Might make some kind of a nice brunch or lunch though. I'm hungry ☺

tonight will just be left overs from last night. I had my BIL and SIL here for dinner so I made a huge wok full of fried rice, carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms lots of chopped fresh garlic (about a third of a cup) and fresh ginger. Rice (used leftover 'sticky' rice which is not my fav but is my husbands) green peas, soysauce with some sugar dissolved in it and topped when it was done with green onions and a sprinkle of sesame oil. Everyone had seconds but I still have enough for tonight and then I'll freeze what's still left for future meals when I don't feel like cooking(which happens pretty often lately lol)

Sometime this week I plan to try cooking the duck we found on sale a month or so ago. I've never tried duck and we don't know if we will enjoy it but the price was good and we wanted to try it anyway. Now I just need to figure out what to do with it lol.

 

[Jill]

That sounds good! I love using our wok

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Saturday Night I oven roasted some marinated Chicken and tossed it through a sweet potato and fetta salad.

Last night was dumplings in a broth with vegies.

Reignmaker- duck is something I have always wanted to try cooking but one thing ive never got round to trying , cant wait to hear how yours has turned out.

Jill, glad you liked the FB page

 

[Jill]

We eat so much chicken here! Tonight I'm making honey soy chicken legs, mashed sweet potatoes, and peas

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Smoked Chorizo Salad last night. Made my own dressing from some of the herbs that I've been growing over summer.
