I'd be scared to eat a NOID meat :)
Grilled haddock last night - mild fish topped with an Asian style peanut sauce. No idea what to make tonight.
Watch'ya got cookin' 2014-2
Hmmm... NOID meat and leftover palooza... you guys eat some interesting stuff! ;)
... NOID meat and leftover palooza... with homegrown asparagus , now doesn't it sounds delish??
Ham, cheese, and broccoli quiche for supper tonight.
NOID meat means I don't remember whether it's turkey, chicken, or pulled pork, that I cooked recently and froze the leftovers while still fresh. Oh, and forgot to label. Since I was making pot pie it really didn't matter. It was interesting as it baked it smelled like pork. No one mentioned it didn't taste like turkey. They also really liked the BBQ, I made a little later and again never mentioned it didn't taste like pork. LOL
I often replace beef or pork with ground turkey for tacos, chili and such. I have even used turkey in place of sausage adding a little sage, coriander, and pepper when browning it and no one seems to notice. Shopping mid-week I often get discounted turkey for as low as $1.79/#.
We're having cod. I hope my spouse will cook!
I would not be surprised that he's adept in the kitchen. Holly surly thinks so. She said I missed a great meal. Guys preparing fish just seems natural to me. The absolute best fish I ever had was Doris' stuffed grouper at The After Deck in Lucaya, Grand Bahama. I never got to meet him. LOL
Took dinner to a woman who had knee replacement surgery and stayed to eat with them. A nice evening. Made pork tenderloin, sweet taters, fresh green beans and an apple salad. Lemon pound cake formdessert. Years ago I made a pork tenderloin for them and Jeff joked we brought roast weasel since it is so thin. So, of course, now I will always bring them roast weasel.
Going to cook up some ground beef and sautéed onion and divvy it up into meal-sized portions for whatever is needed. Tonight I think soft tacos, cuz I got some tortillas.
Ric -- Darryl did indeed cook -- breaded and fried the cod following a Bittman recipe -- it was great. I hope you can join us for dinner when your back allows for traveling....
Many of you have mentioned cooking a Pork tenderloin.
Please share your favorite ways of cooking it. I have limited experience...
I like some fat on my pork--the tenderloins seem so lean. Where's the flavor?
Also--your favorite way of fixing fresh Green Beans. Ones I do are quite good--
just asking.....
Thanks. Gita
Sometimes I cut the tenderloin into bite-sized chunks and stir fry them. The stir fry also usually includes onion, carrots, zucchini. Depending on my mood may marinate in teriyaki sauce and a little worchestershire. Many times add rosemary. Sometimes I leave it whole rub with oil, salt and pepper and sear it in my cast iron pan on all sides then put in 425 oven for 15 min. Let rest before slicing.
I like to blanch beans then stir fry them in a little oil with salt and pepper.
Thanks Jan.
I have done Sweet and Sour Pork--with veggies and pineapple chunks.
Always turns out food....never used Zucchini in this???
But--I LOVE fried Zucchini as well as Eggplant.
I like the 2nd recipe too--searing and baking....more my style. What do you do
in this recipe to get it moist? Lean pork can be so dry.
G.
Same as Jan for pork tenderloin, and it stays moist, but maybe it's all the stuff they inject in the seasoned ones.
For pork tenderloin, I make slices about every 1/2" almost, but not quite, all the way through. Then I marinate it in Lawry's Carribean Jerk marinade and grill it. The slices allow the marinade to soak in better but keeps the tenderloin whole for easier grilling.
Not letting it roast for more than 15 min. Keeps it moist. Cuz, I agree it can go dry very quickly. Also letting it rest before slicing keeps the juices in.
I like that idea for grilling.
I've never gotten the seasoned ones before.
Asparagus tonight, but not sure about anything else. Hehehe
Thanks all...
I am always leery buying anything pre-seasoned...Always too full of Sodium.
Ages ago---when we grilled a lot of things on our old, pedestal, cast metal, gas grill,
It had a rotisserie bar--and I would skewer full pork or beef roasts or chickens
on it and cook away, injecting them with various marinades and sauces.
I still have these huge syringes.....and a note book of pages and pages of fading
recipes Xeroxed (yes-that old!) from somewhere. They were so yummy!
Need to re-type some of them before they fade into total oblivion...
I am now drooling for one of my pork shoulder roasts....rubbed with S&P and
Onion Powder and dill and caraway seed and whole Old Spice seeds stuck into holes
the fatty top. A few Bay Leaves slipped into slits here and there...ahhhh...
I think I did this "treatment" once on a WHOLE pork loin--not those little skinny ones--
and it came out amazing...
I need a few more people to cook for--not just ME! That just seems like a waste of time.
I (we) uses to feed people all the time back in "those" days...my DH's homeless Volleyball
buddies. One of them, who was just 18 back then, to this day has this memory
of me bringing out this huge pork roast to the table and how delicious it was..
Those were the days.....another lifetime........G.
Gita.. sorry but... LOL LOL HAAHAAHAHAAHAAA "Old Spice" seeds... Heeheeheee... did you mean "Allspice"? < =D **giggle** **snort!!**
If I had a pork roast, I'd slice it into chops, take 2 of 'em and pound 'em down paper-thin and make schnitzel out of 'em. Just my preferred pork recipe. =)
Haaa...haaa....of course--Allspice! Even though--most of my Spices ARE OLD!!!
Speedie--after you pound the chops thing--stuff them with prepared
chicken flavored stuffing mix. I like to add some sausage to my stuffing--
like Bob Evans--or Jimmy Dean. Skewer shut--(toothpicks) and brown on
both sides until done.
A bit of pan juices will make this even more delectable....maybe add a bit of
chicken broth in the pan...???
G.
mmm stuffing in pork or chicken that sounds really good.
And--it IS really good!
Try it...........you'll like it.........G.
Oh YUMMY idea Gita, I hadn't thought of that!! I have stuffing mix and sausage on hand, I think I'll do that instead on "schnitzel night" of the menu, thank you!! < =D
I made a ham and 15 bean soup, yesterday. I loved it, but should have taken some Beano first. I even added ginger to the overnight soak??? I made a 2# old fashion meat loaf also, complete with the brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce coating. I found 2#s of mixed veal, pork, and beef, discounted to $2.38/#.
Oh man, that meatloaf sounds really good. Mashed taters, corn, gravy, biscuits... Mmmm Mmmmmm!!
Actually, I went to make mashed and all I had was mashed sweet potatoes, so it was that and corn. No biscuits though. I like to add about a tbs. of butter pecan syrup to the sweet taters, changes the whole taste.
I guess it will be Groton's fish filets, and salad, with boiled and butter browned taters tonight.
Those sweet taters sound really good too, and I've got this new hand masher that I really love, gets taters nice and fluffy.
Being Sunday and all, tonight is our roast chicken "winner winner chicken dinner" night. Good thing I popped in here and read this, I'd forgotten I want to do biskwits too. =)
haha I have a co corker who says winner winner chicken dinner- where did that come from?
Burgers, macaroni salad
We had angel hair pasta with a clam Alfredo (not mine)and chopped salad for supper, I wanted something easy. Holly went to soccer with the grands yesterday, sat them last night, and saw them off to school this A.M. I was still recouping from a full day of yardening yesterday, so it was chores only for me today, and a day of rest for us both. Tomorrow? Well, probably back to the garden.
It was grandson, Luke's birthday yesterday and he wanted BLT sandwiches for dinner. His mom made a Yoda cake. Pretty cute. She used cupcakes and placed them strategically to get the shape then frosted it. Luke helped her make the green frosting.
Work till nine pm- dinner is whatever THEY decide LOL
Oh man, all you guys are making me hungry! That chopped salad sounds really good right about now.
Sally, I have no idea where "winner winner chicken dinner" came from, but it's fun, huh?
Another winner of a chicken dinner tonight... "chicken fried chicken"... boneless skinless breasts, that is. Mashed taters, country gravy and corn. And biscuits. (forgot those on Sunday!) < =0
A popular story about the origin of this phrase is that in Las Vegas you could get a nice chicken dinner for less than $2.00. Since winning an average bet would make you over $2.00, the two were equated as being approximately the same value. If you won, you could buy a chicken dinner, and I'm sure that the rhyming factor didn't hurt for people who were rubbing in their win.
Thus the phrase "Winner, winner, chicken dinner" was born.
Cool story Teri. We had errands to run and had a very late lunch at Subway, Black Forest ham and turkey sub and a chopped salad, so it will be leftovers if anything tonight.
Cool story Aspen, thank you.
I have no idea what's on the menu for dinner tonight... the menu is out in the kitchen and I don't feel like getting up to go look. I'm pretty sure though that it'll be food. ;)
LOL, My menu for tonight is def leftovers. I am seriously thinking about baking a few cookies. I have a couple of the Betty Crocker mixes for if the grands come and want to make cookies. It's a great rainy day occupation to focus some of their energy.
I love those Betty Crocker cookie mixes, so many of 'em are really yummy and they're so easy! My favourite is the simple Sugar Cookie. Those ones turn out so soft and perfect!! Ric, will you guys adopt me as an OLD grandie please? < =D (ya know, some odd throw-back from some odd arm of the family you only just met last year). ;) heeheeheee
I ended up getting up off my lazy patootie and figured out that it's beef stroganoff night. The beef is cut up and in the crock pot now... want it to be nice and tender!
Let's see. Nothing tonight, cuz I had it all at lunch. Hehehe. My cousin from Californisa is visiting her sister, so we,as well as my brother, met up. It was about an 80 mile drive for me. Less for them. Anyway, I got a pulled pork sandwich that had an amazing sauce, cheese and some sautéed cabbage on it. A side of sweet potato fries. Coconut rice pudding for dessert. WOWSERS!!!!
I brought some copies of family documents that they had never seen. And some pics. I need to scan some pics. Fun time!!!
Speedie, @62 I may have trouble passing you off as a long lost granny, what about an unknown of daughter from my wicked past?
as predicted, we had lunch on our garden tour, so it'a def leftovers tonight.
cool winner winner story! I'll have to ask my co worker if she knows that.
MM big belly full of chicken curry, rice, spinach...as for tomorrow. oh nuts.
Like Scarlett said, tomorrow IS another day!
What did we do before search engines and the internet? All I did was put in the phrase and up popped links - all described the same story :) Makes you wonder who puts all that stuff out there in the first place??? Doesn't matter how obscure it is either...
I happened upon a discounted rump roast with breezing through the store yesterday so it was pot roast with potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery for dinner. One of my favorites.Tomorrow, who knows, but I do have to shop for mothers' day. I've been delegated to cook.
YUM!!!
