What for dinner? Pt 3

While you were making bread pudding Yank, I was making rice pudding. DH had a craving, I don't care for either one...I just cook it! LOL

Besides the ones Victor mentioned, I also like Barefoot Contessa - she has a very soothing voice, and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

The cottage roll looks like something I'd like - A LOT

Sounds yummy Yankee and Pixie

I made a baked french toast last Saturday and used eggnog and milk instead of half-n-half. It was a hit.

I love bread and rice pudding, custard too--all with lots of nutmeg--yummmmm!

I like Iron Chef America and Ace of Cakes. DH is cooking tonight, have no idea what he'll make.

I'm more of a rusty chef.

Braised pork chops, gravy, mashed potatoes, corn and applesauce. Could live on any dessert with custard in it.

Roast chicken with stuffing, potatoes, carrots and broccoli

finished off the last of the stuffed cabbage

Sword fish again, been craving it....with mahogoany's and a salad.

Roast Pork shoulder w/ yellow rice & pigeon peas, salad on the side w/ bread rolls

Applebee's smothered chicken. DH has an Open House at school tonight, so no cooking for me.

Garbanzo bean sauce with spaghetti.

Leftover pork tenderloin in gravy over whole wheat noodles and yellow and white corn.

While shopping a little too quickly and not looking at nutritional labels, I bought multigrain crackers. So tonight while cooking dinner, I was reading labels. The crackers had 3 gm fat, less than 1 gm fiber and 1 gm protein per 4 crackers, while the noodles had 1 gm fat, 6 gm fiber, and 8 gm protein per serving.

Yes - lots of marketing tricks going on with names.

Broiled center cut boneless chops(23 herbs and spices LOL), au gratin potatoes, southwestern corn, and crecent rolls. Sounds like supper to me. Yum! Ric

Meatloaf, mashed potaoes, brown gravy and peas

Market had a sale on lamb chops. Anyone have a good recipe?

I usually do a very mild lemon herb sauce.

my large vat of chili is made.. turned out good.. I know what's for lunch today

WC....Is that put on after roasting or during?

Pizza last night, DH took a phone call for DD about a college she applied to. Good news! DD and I were at the barn doing chores.

Congrats! What will she major in?

Equine Studies. She wants to get into therapeudic riding, it helps all kinds of people.

Wonderful.

Thanks.

That's cool!

A lady here in town does therapeutic riding. They love it!! She also teaches...makes a pretty dollar at it too.

Jada when it comes to lamb chops I braze them in a skillet with as little olive oil as possible & very little salt & pepper, then use a mild sauce after serving to add a delicate flavor to them, (usually lemon-butter with flour and a gen purpose herbal seasoning which contains no salt. I cook them minimally as I find the taste very delicate, and it can be overshadowed easily by too much spices or overcooking.

- Leftover pork roast & yellow rice with a fresh salad today.

Thanks WC. I have almost always eaten them at restaraunts, but never cooked them before. Nobody else likes them.

Here’s the light lemon sauce I use:
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
• 5-6 tbs butter
• 1 tsp flour
• 3 tbsp water
• 1.5 tbsp fresh parsley
• salt and pepper to taste ***
- mix it all up in a sauce pan under low heat until you get an even consistency.

***I substitute McCormick’s ‘Gen Purpose Herb’ spice, (No Salt), for the parsley, & since the butter contains enough salt I don’t add any more.
The rind is important, it adds some bitterness which actually compliments the sauce. Sometimes I add a tbs of capers & chopped scallions just to ‘mix it up’, but usually I stick to the main sauce. Some people also add heavy cream but I prefer a lighter taste…

ooh, that sounds delicious. Gonna make them tomorrow. I'll let you know how it came out.

Looks good. I will try it on pork chops. Don't like lamb.

Hubby doesn't like lamb either.
I made a new Rachel Ray chicken recipe tonight it was really good.

Which??

You're going to make me go look?

It can wait. ^_^

Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce with Chive Egg Noodles

Sounds good.

my mom always used cream of mushroom soup on shredded chicken.. mix in some white rice.. and it's a dish I named chicken puke when I was younger.. looks like puke.. but tasted good!

anything with cream of mushroom is good - one of my fav's is flank steak pounded with spices, rolled up with stuffing inside covered with c of m. - great - until you realize the sodium level of the c of m!!
