What's for dinner?

Saturday 03/28: Tonight the microwave was my sous chef... I licked-up the last l'il bit of shrimp/linguine pesto from Thursday, and warmed a few remaining bites of my ribeye & whiskeyed-'shrooms from last night that I couldn't squeeze into my belly... It hit the spot!

Sunday 03/29: We've got a late-season blizzard heading our way so before I drove in to my graveyard shift tonight I got some navy beans soaking. I then pulled four "scrap" ziplocks from the freezer to thaw that contain a pair of smoked turkey wings, a couple of pork ribs, a pair of duck legs, and some andoullie sausage... so I'll be getting out the bean pot to slow cook a comforting cassoulet for my weekend off... I'm planning to hole-up and be lazy!

It was a lot of fun but unfortunately they didn't listen when I said I can't have wheat. I steered clear of all the pita, tabouli, and rice with vermacelli but then When my dinner came I ordered the lamb kabob with no rice or kofta and extra vegetables. It wasn't until I had eaten one that I realized they had put the kofta on my plate. It didn't look any different than the lamb chunks. I was sick all day yesterday.
 
Subway $5 footlong half for lunch other half for dinner.
Jon had chicken scampi for dinner.
I made caponata for myself tomorrow and have a roast in the crockpot.
 
:) Hi everyone, it was my day off today we went to China Buffet it was so Good. The weather hasn't been to bad here in Chicago a little chilly still, you have to wear a coat that's for sure. Went to the mall today and they have all the spring stuff out. I can't wait until it feels more like Spring! Cookie :)
 
Tonight will be roast chicken with purple sprouting broccoli, followed by gently stewed rhubarb with greek yoghurt. The rest of the family can have a crumble with vanilla ice cream. Yes I am trying to be healthy and loose a few pounds!!!...:)

I love cassoulet, I did a bean soup last week, which was super healthy, but when we had it for supper with friends, the guy mentioned "no meat" LOL

Mm, that is one of my favorite Easter Eggs!

This Morning I made Home-made Jambalaya (posted recipe here S.P.) I didn't have Red & Green sweet peppers, so I used a pkg. of frozen Oriental Vegetables instead, it had my Red Peppers in it. I cooked the chicken in chicken broth first then added my frozen medium shrimp, and spices it was a really Good flavor. Cookie :)

For budget and health/weight reasons I'm turning-over a new leaf and making more significant effort to eat meatless at least 2-3 times per week- starting NOW!

Monday night I had a haphazardly thrown together meal of orzo w/ broccoli/tomato and olive oil... along w/ a huge bowl of green beans w/ toasted walnuts. (Thurs. will be meatless again- maybe mashed sweet 'taters, steamed broccoli w/ dried apricots and pecans.)

Tuesday I had a class, so I quick-made a turkey/provolone sub on a pumpernickel roll w/ lite Helmann's and pesto and a couple tangerines.

Weds. I'm doing the Weds. Night half-bbq chicken special at the Elk's Lodge w/ my folks...
 
Drive threw!

I didn't cook tonight, worked all day I ordered out, Italian Beef with sweet peppers and cheese fries and got another order of combination, Italian Beef with Italian sausage with sweet peppers. For desert I had a cannoli in the car (so-hungry :eek:) It had pistachios on it and then they asked me do you want it dipped in chocolate or plain, :D I just got plain because I ate it in my car. It was so Good! Brought Home sandwiches and split a Irish beer.

Drive threws are deffinetely really Good sometimes! Cookie :)
 
I made cornbread with kale greens. I baked the cornbread in my fav iron skillet with a little bacon grease. We had buttermilk fried chicken with it. I always marinade my chicken in buttermilk, LOTS of Frank's Hot Sauce, minced garlic, salt and lots of pepper. I marinade it atleast overnight. We have some greens in the garden already. In a few days Ill be able to get some fresh thyme from the garden. My rosemary bushes did not survive the winter. That bad ice storm we had killed them.
 
I went to the deli and got pastrami, salami, pepperoni and baby swiss cheese for sandwiches. I stopped and got some fresh hoagie buns, lettuce and tomatoes.
 
Tonight it’s going to be grilled venison burgers with sharp cheddar and summer squash sweet and sour pickles left over from last summer. I’m going to serve it with David Lebovitz’s French carrot salad. I’m so happy spring is here! I have crocus and daffodils busting out all over.
 
Hi Jfain! I keep waiting for my tulips to come up.. the greenery is there, but no flowers! At this point, I hope they hold off for a couple of weeks until the end of the month for the surprise party we are hosting. ;)

I could really go for something g*o*o*d tonight, but will be out until 6:30pm with no chance of getting to the store. Your idea sounds good, I could just sit and eat the pickles by themselves. Yum! Enjoy!
