What's for dinner?

Denise40

It's cool and rainy here in Texas, so I made chili and cornbread. For dessert, I made apple crisp. Fiancé goes back out of state on Sunday for a month, so trying to get him a few more homemade meals before he goes.

Chicken larb over sticky rice and tom yum chicken soup. DH and I love Thai food, and I am perfecting my recipes for those.

doeydo

Sausage patties, stir fried red peppers, and left over chicken fried rice.

@littlemushroom‌ what is Chicken Larb? I've never had Thai food. I like chicken and rice.

SmileDamnit

I think DH is making a spicy green curry-cilantro shrimp dish. 

Aaaaaaand now I'm hungry!

Gerbertmcway

I'm making roasted drumsticks, roasted carrots with cumin, and pearled couscous.

I made chili and corn bread last night. I think we'll be eating it again tonight.

Denise40

Wow everything sounds yummy. I'm getting real hungry.

We had steak, mashed potatoes and carrots. It seems like ages since we've sat down together for a meal! SO even helped load the dishwasher so it was all win except for the smoke detector going off...

ETA: He also cooked dinner, so the dishwasher was the bonus! lol

I am making parmesan crusted pork chops with roasted apples and rosemary mashed potatoes. Dessert will be chocolate cupcakes and a glass of Port. I'm feeling fancy.

That sounds good. We had pork chops earlier this week. What's the recipe for the pork chops?

I never really use recipes, but this is what I do:

 

I bread the pork chops in flower and then egg and then breadcrumbs. I make sure to season the breadcrumbs with grated parm, italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and garlic powder.

 

Bake for about 30 min at 350 (or until no longer pink in the middle). Super easy!

@sarawifenow‌ That sounds great! Thanks for the instructions

All your dinners sound delicious! I am feeling lazy. I'm thinking about ordering Chinese. Or wine and popcorn with a slice of wedding cake (screw saving cake for a year, I want it now!).

Denise40

@kat1114‌ I love Chinese food! Wine and cake sounds good too. Wine is chilling as we speak!

It was going to be chicken cordon bleu, but I'm so tired from work and planning this baby shower that I picked up a fresh made pizza when I was at the store tonight.

Is your chilli more saucy & beany or meaty?
What's your recipe?

I'm headed out to a nice restaurant for a business dinner! Woohoo!

hellosweetie1015

I made pancakes. 

I wanted biscuits and gravy and sausage all day long. I might try to drag FI's butt out of bed Saturday morning to go get breakfast with me.

I made a potato and chicken cassarole. it's not bad.

Coconut curry beef stew we have leftover from last night with like half a bottle of merlot. 

beethery

A whole bunch of nothing. I had a burrito for lunch. I think I'm going to end up making tacos for FI when he gets home from soccer.

Sriracha salmon with cilantro lime rice, broccoli and peppers.

That sounds amazing!

I felt super lazy tonight, so I just made up some beef with broccoli. 

loro929

I made chili in the crock pot! Nothing better than coming home after a long day to the delicious smell of dinner already cooking

raissyrais

Tonight I'm making curried red beans, carrots and potatoes in a tomato stew. With brown rice. Hopefully that will last two days, FI is such a piggy.

@Denise40‌ Larb is chicken/pork/beef (pick one), minced, and seasoned with lime juice, red pepper flake, and red onion/shallots. It is very simple, but the flavor is incredible. At the restaurant, it comes with plain white rice, but DH loves the sticky kind, so I make plain white sticky rice.

@sarawifenow‌ I guess I use the term "recipe" loosely. I don't actually measure anything. Everything is done by sight and then I taste and adjust until I get the flavor I want. I read like 4 different recipes for each, then kind of discarded the parts I didn't like and cherry picked the process I could pull off. I can probably come up with something for you though. Probably later today when I get some time at work.

@kat1114 here's the salmon recipe! http://www.self.com/body/recipes/2013/04/salmon-sriracha-sauce-lime

The rice was just regular white rice with lime juice, chopped cilantro, and lots of salt.

Due to my stomach surgery in September, I'm on a very restricted diet for the forseeable future.  It's a challenge coming up with new things so I don't get bored.  Last night was a ramekin of noodle-free tuna casserole with some finely chopped mushrooms and onions, and a topping of crushed crackers and crushed canned french fried onions mixed together, that crisped up nicely in the oven. A few spoonfuls of cottage cheese on the side. I have another ramekin ready to bake for dinner tonight.

Lunch today is a Key Lime greek yogurt and some hummus.
