What is (was) for dinner tonight?

[sparky!]

I decided to make a chicken casserole found on YouTube here.

Basically, it's a bed of white rice in a cooking dish, then 3 chicken breasts (seasoned with salt & pepper), then cream of celery soup with water and a packet of onion soup mixed in, then an onion cut into chunks and placed on top of the chicken. Then cook at about 325 for 2 hours.

I have to say my place is smelling absolutely awesome!

I have about 40 minutes left and really can't wait to try it.

So what did others have for dinner?

[Farmer Jane]

I have a date. I plan on ordering chicken schwarma from a Med place.



I heart free food.

It's funny: I spent 3 months in Israel recently and really didn't care for the food.

There's a new Mediterranean place near work and I've been eating the beef shawarma there quite a bit.

Weird.

Oh, and good luck.

[Fear Itself]

Shredded chicken, black beans and rice in a mole/chipotle sauce.

[Chimera]

Refried black beans, hamburger, sour cream, shredded mexican cheese mix and taco sauce on large flour tortillas. The cheese and (of course) sour cream put on cold after the rest was heated.

[Hello Again]

Its too hot to cook, so: antipasto salad. Chunked peppers, tomatoes, salami, cheese (aged cheddar & fresh mozz), olives, and pickled carrots. All stirred together with a little oil & vinegar.

It's too hot here, too, and I couldn't even summon enough energy to fix a salad. I ate raisin bran.

That sounds really good.

That sounds bad.

[missred]

Too hot to cook here too!

I had a big tomato from the farmer's market with cottage cheese and black pepper, some summer squash salad (chunks of zuchini, yellow squash and patti-pans, red onion, black olives and feta marinated in Tuscan dressing), and a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich.

[sparky!]

Oh man, just a little longer.

Seriously, my place smells so good, I could eat the leather couch I'm sitting on. :drool

[Chefguy]

Green salad with sauteed shrimp.

[Sattua]

Company just left so I'm sick of cooking nice meals. My husband is having an arthritis flare-up and has no appetite. Soooo...

I ate some leftover chicken wings and broccoli.

My husband will probably have a leftover hamburger later this evening.

I gave our daughter baby oatmeal, green beans, and milk. She'd had cheese and peaches just 90 minutes earlier, because it's been a surreal day and her schedule is shot.

[sparky!]

I just took it out of the oven and the chicken is fall apart greatness.

The onion chunks have a good snap to them when bitten.

It could have used way more salt, so I salted it up while it's cooling, then mixed a bit.

In about 5 minutes, I'll be in heaven.

[LurkerInNJ]

A dill pickle and ice water with a bit of grated pear in it.

[Hershele Ostropoler]

Another dinner from the Med place! It's the cook's night for self-injection, so he (ok, I) skipped cooking tonight.

[campp]

Frozen pizza

[chrisk]

Leftovers! Vermicelli with my stewed beef and veggies sauce.

I gotta try that - do you think some mixed frozen veggies in there would work?

That was the greatest dinner I have ever had.

The chicken was way too undersalted, but everything else was over salted. How do I get the two to mix properly?

Not sure.

The flavors (other than the salt) really seemed made for each other.

The chicken literally fell apart on my fork, though it needed a bit more salt.

[Pyper]

Dinner is leftover Indian food: dal, chicken curry, baby eggplant, garlic naan and raita.

[Tangent]

Spaghetti with meat sauce, salad, garlic bread, and a nice red wine from a local (Texas) vineyard.

[Dung Beetle]

Leftovers last night, but tonight Ham and Couscous. This is one of the few recipes I follow as written (well, almost, I don’t add water chestnuts).

[Missy2U]

I'm feelin like it's a Tuna Helper night. Yeah. I'm that motivated. I'd check the box and tell you what version of Tuna Helper it'll be, but the dog is laying on the floor in front of the pantry so I can't get to it. And I don't want to wake him up. Cause he's a good dog and needs his beauty sleep.

ETA - Oops - I forgot - I'll have the Tuna Helper. The husband wants me to make stuffing for him. He cooked up a huge bunch of chicken giblets yesterday so he wants me to make him giblet stuffing. Fine with me, I don't have to eat it, just cook it. It can bake while my Tuna Helper simmers. Or I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich.

Yea, I'll probably have a grilled cheese. Screw Tuna Helper. Way to prep intensive for me.

[sparky!]

I tried having the casserole from last night for lunch, but I'm finding it doesn't taste as good reheated (which is odd, casseroles usually, to me, taste better the next day).

Oh well, probably have steak tonight, maybe with asparagus and potato (mashed?).

[Alice The Goon]

I waited until really late so it was cooler, but I still sweated my face off. But it was worth it. I made my bacon chipotle mac-n-cheese. It's Alton Brown's Baked Macaroni and Cheese recipe, but I add cooked bacon and 3 minced chipotles. We absolutely love this at my house and it's one of the best things I've ever made.

[yellowval]

Last night we had grilled cheese sandwiches. Tonight I'm making homemade pizza.

[Atomic Mama]

I had cold pork chops (that had been cooked on a Weber grill over charcoal & applewood chips last night). That was it.

Maybe some really good chocolate in a while.

[Farmer Jane]

Another date. I plan on ordering sea bass. I'm rather excited. About the food, I mean.

[Dervorin]

Comfort food, because I'm feeling a bit blue today, for no discernable reason.

Home-made dal with spinach and peas, and rice. With some yogurt and papads on the side.

[nonacetone]

I tossed a beef roast into the crockpot earlier, along with some onions, lots of garlic, potatoes, etc. Italian dressing went in on top. It smells wonderful!

[Little Nemo]

Just got back from shopping. I picked up some supermarket sushi.

[kmshrader]

It's been pork chops lately, and I think again tonight. Pork chops with caramelized onion, fresh corn on the cob and maybe a salad or mashed potatoes or both.

[Chefguy]

Burgers, corn on the cob, green salad from our garden.

[Sattua]

Leftover sausage gravy & biscuits, and garden tomatoes. Brunch was great, dinner... had good tomatoes.

[janis_and_c0]

Last night was baked fish with lemon & butter, green beans & potato cakes. I also made a taco lasagna this week. Tonight is fast food! *LOL*

[Eliahna]

It's winter here, and I made chicken, carrot, zucchini and pumpkin risotto in the pressure cooker. No leftovers, so I guess everyone enjoyed it.

I think you need to meet other men.

[Leiko]

Chicken yakisoba, beef teriyaki, and kimchi.

[Lust4Life]

I had a curry at tea time, Chicken Jal Frazei, and at two in the morning a Meatfeast pizza.

I'm working nights at the moment.

Have stopped drinking large amounts of very strong coffee now as it was giving me indigestion, have changed to large amounts of double bagger tea, which keeps me awake equally well, with no obvious side effects so far.


Plus tea is so much more civilised, you uncultured colonial barbarians !

My thoughts exactly.

[sparky!]

I sliced up an onion and added it to my cast iron skillet with a bit of olive oil and kosher salt, then added two frozen potato hash brown patties.

I left it all to cook 10 minutes on each side at around 2 to 3, covered.

I then fried up some eggs and made multi grain toast that I heavily buttered.

I made a sandwich of the eggs, then enjoyed the onion/potato as a side dish.

It was so good that I may have it again today for lunch.

[missred]

Last night, the Fella and I went here to celebrate his birthday http://www.castleheightschophouse.net/ . He had the prime rib and I had the Mongolian pork shanks. It was delicious.

This evening, it was back to family food: Sauteed chicken chunks with portabella mushrooms and onions over rice with a sprinkle of grated asiago, marinated summer squash and sliced tomatoes from the farmers' market (they're especially good this year) with cottage cheese. The boys all had a bowl of ice cream for dessert.

[Drain Bead]

Grassfed t-bones, roasted broccoli, and a green salad with cucumbers and heirloom tomato.

[Chefguy]

Sauteed sockeye salmon filet, roasted yam chunks, steamed broccoli.

[nogravity]

Lightly breaded (one side only) and fried pork tenderloin medallions, potato pancakes with scallions and sour cream, fresh pineapple and coleslaw.

[Sattua]

I joined Weight Watchers today. Then my husband suddenly got hungry and started asking what "we" were having for meals.

Dinner was a fakey-fake eggplant parmesan that I made up on the spot. Slices of eggplant sauteed with melted mozzarella and parmesan on top, eaten with spaghetti and tomato sauce.

[Alpha Twit]

Country style pork ribs, oven braised with molasses, chipotle, garlic and a bit of tomato paste. Served with green salad, cornbread and veggies.

[needscoffee]

Grilled beef bulgogi, and caprese tomato salad.
