August - What is for Dinner

Today I made some roasted garlic pasta with some roasted chicken breast thrown in with some tomato bread. It was really good. Right now I am making the teriyaki chicken drunmstick recipe I posted for tomorrow. Jon is not big on waiting for anything to cook so these will be good just to heat up when he gets hungry.
 
Sounds yummy janie. I too had pasta tonight. Just a micro and serv penne marinara w/ Italian Sausage... it was really good for a pre-fab, Stouffer's-style deli meal. I'd buy it again!
 
This evening we had
Roast beef,
Yorkshire pudding
Dry Roast potatoes
Boiled potatoes
Peas
Broccoli
Gravy
Horseraddish sauce

No pudding, to full

This morning we had Pork,tomato and oregano sausage seved with plum tomatoes. I didnt eat my sausage, they had an aftertaste, not off, just not for my pallet. Not recommended for the shopping list
 
You also have delicious inventive recipes to offer.
I think it's great that because of the wonder of technology we can swop ideas in a twinkling of an eye.:)

Fluffy mashed potatoes
Parsley sauce.

It may not be fine cuisine but my husband loves it.:D

Plain boiled basmati rice
Peshwari Naan

Plaice in Breadcrumbs (shop bought)
Petti pois
Cherry tomatoes
Chunky chips. Cooked in the Blaster:D (my term for the small halogen oven, great for cooking for two).
 
Yesterday I made my Mom's pasta salad- it has some funky "white trash" components, but we were raised on this in the summer-time and I love it!

Kevin's Mom's Pasta Salad

1 lb. cooked, drained, cooled pasta (Mom always used rotini or "scroodles")
1 lb. Spam, cubed (or ham)
1 lb. velveeta cheese, cubed (or cheddar)
1 c. cherry tomatoes, halved
1 fresh cucumber, seeded and chopped
1 c. broccoli florettes
1 c. cauliflower florettes
4 green onions, chopped
1 c. Miracle Whip, more or less as desired ( or mayonnaise)
2-3 T. juice from a sweet pickle jar
1-2 T. celery seed
S&P to taste

Mix well. Chill. Serve.
 
I really fancy cheese and onion pie with tinned plum tomatoes.

Some grated cheese (any old hard cheese)
Couple of teaspoons stinky Parmesan
Half an onion finely chopped
freshly cooked mashed potatoes

Mix it all up in a bowl ( I ususally whisk it to make if fluffy)

Put in oven proof dish, cover with more grated cheese

Put under the grill until the cheese melts

Throw some chopped parsley on top to make it look pretty.

Serve with tinned plum tomatoes.

Quick, easy, no potch and I love this dish.
