Looks like the last ‘What’s for dinner?’ thread was back in August. So… What’s for dinner? I’m feeling lazy tonight. I mixed some tarragon with mayonnaise and coated a couple of cod fillets, then put bread crumbs on them. I’ve just put them into the oven. On the side, I bought a flat package of cut asparagus, red onions, and mushrooms, which I’ll sauté. ---

Crepes filled with salmon, mushroom and asparagus Thanks to Costco, which sells packages of premade crepes. I can make them from scratch but haven’t done so for many years; these days I just don’t have the patience. ---

Chili cheeseburger, with a simple (lettuce, tomato, celery, radishes) salad on the side. Yum. ---

Crêpes are so easy, I never even considered there were pre-made ones. Besides, it’s fun flipping them in the pan. 😛 Tell me more about the filling. ---

Baked chicken wings with a habanero aeoli for dipping, garden salad dressed with fresh squeezed o.j., almond oil, soy, herbs. And many margaritas, that part of dinner has been going since lunch… ---

Pot roast here tonight. Cooked up a chuck roast with some Yukon Gold potatoes, tri-color carrots, onion and one tomato that I needed to use up. Also made an ice cream cake since it’s my birthday tomorrow and I didn’t want a store-bought cake. Chocolate with strawberry ice cream and crushed chocolate wafers in the middle. It was the first time I’d made an ice cream cake and it came out pretty well. ---

I’m usually cooking for 3 or 4 people so not having to cook 10-12 crepes makes a big difference. Filling: salmon fillet sauteed in butter and broken up into small pieces while sauteeing with sliced baby bella mushrooms, a dash of lemon juice, steamed frozen asparagus cut into 1 inch pieces, bechamel sauce. ---

Spaghetti, topped with torn-up roasted orange and yellow bell peppers, blanched broccoli, and shrimp. The shrimp were first sautéed in olive oil with a couple pf bay leaves, some crushed red pepper, and roughly half a ton of garlic. Add a bit of sherry at the end, and dump the whole thing over the spaghetti. Add a bit of parm, dump in a bowl, and enjoy! ---

I generally make about eight. The filling sounds good. I think I’d leave out the asparagus, and use crab instead of salmon. But that’s just me.
