Talk to me about what you've cooked lately.

pirategal03 · January 2012

I'm trying to plan out our meals for this week and I'm totally drawing a blank. The sales papers aren't very inspiring, it's all stuff we already have in the freezer.

So. Tell me about something you've had/cooked lately that's been particularly good. Please.

We have made soup because it has been so cold. I love this one.

I know this one has been posted before but it's one of my favorites

Last night H marinated 3 tilapia fillets in fine red wine vinegar, pomegranate-infused red wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegarette. he said they were all awesome.

Recently, I've made:
Hawaiian Pizza (pizza with BBQ sauce, pineapple, and Canadian bacon)
Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce (rotini with garlic and pureed roasted red ppers)
Chili Con Carne (chili with ground beef and beans)

I can give you the receipes tonight if you're interested.

I've got pheasant going into the crockpot right now. (can make it with chicken) I just throw some stock in, a packaged to diced up mushrooms, salt, pepper, a sprinkle of paprika, and a dollop of sour cream and let that cook all day. I'll serve it tonight on top of rice with a big veg side.

Wiscisbliss · January 2012

We had chicken and dumplings last week. I usually make chicken pot pie, but tried this instead. I think pot pie is easier to make.

pirategal03 · January 2012

These all sound good so far.

LHT, I have everything to make both of those, except the zucchini. Maybe we need to just eat out of the freezer/pantry for a couple days.

Yes, please for recipes, Sesh. Especially the Chili Con Carne, yum.

I love that you're cooking pheasant, Anna. I'm not a big chicken fan, so I'll often sub a different poultry.

Remind me later, pirate, otherwise I'll probably forget. I wish I had recipes online, but most of mine are just copied out of magazines or newspapers so I have to type them all up.

I am kinda useless because I don't use recipes often. Yesterday I made the filling for stuffed peppers (ground lamb, beef, pork, and turkey, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, sauted peppers and onions, kale and lots of quinoa) and spaghetti sauce (same as stuffing for the peppers minus the kale and the quinoa) and used half of that sauce to make a spaghetti squash bake, which was really just the sauce, the squash, and lots of goat cheese and Parmesan cheese all mixed together and baked. The other thing I made is my new favorite 'side dish' made up of a little bit of mashed potato, more mashed cauliflower, chopped up spinach, Broccolini, and asparagus and mixed up with cheese and then baked. We get our green veggies in and I get yummyness too Thats what I made yesterday!

raynes · January 2012

Last night I made some soup. I'd call it Butternut Squash, but there was probably more other than squash. (I added sweet potato, red onion and yellow flesh potatoes too)

Tonight for dinner is Creamy, Light Mac and Cheese. I love love love this and make it ever other week, if not once a week.

pirategal03 · January 2012

This pretty much settles it. No grocery shopping for me today. Y'all have great ideas. I need to pull some stuff out of the freezer.

pirategal03 · January 2012

Raynes, that mac and cheese looks awesome.

ZombieNates · January 2012

The past few days, we've just been making reservations.

But I'm planning on this for the week:

Chicken parm with penne, asparagus on the side (because I didn't make it the other day)
Ham steaks with baked potatoes and green beans
Some kind of burger with green bean casserole
Angel hair pasta, tossed with basil, sauteed garlic, and grape tomatoes in EVOO

And one night I'm going out for drinks, so that will be leftover night.

It is super duper tasty. And, come on, there's squash!! I usually sub old cheddar for the Gruyere because they apparently only sell processed gruyere at my grocery store.

maratea · January 2012

I stole this from CCF's FB, but omg it's so good. I would halve everything for the sauce though because it makes a ton of sauce. I didn't have corn flakes at the time so I used instant potato flakes instead, it was tasty.

[Deleted User] · January 2012

I found out last night that H doesn't really care for mac n cheese. It made me a little sad because how can you not like mac n cheese?

However, I do have a mac n cheese and ham recipe that I will continue to make regardless, because it's delicious and there is no way he doesn't like that.

Silly Mr. Sesh. Mac and Cheese isn't up for debate. It's like pizza, you just like it.

number55 · January 2012

omg, mac and cheese is one of my favourite things ever. Initially I only liked kraft dinner but then I made lobster mac and cheese from scratch (using an actual recipe) and now I love all mac and cheese. Any mac and cheese. It is so on my comfort food list. The list includes:

mac and cheese

shepherd's pie (or cottage pie)

tomato soup with grilled cheese and a pickle

beef Bourgignon

oatmeal

tuna sandwiches

I need to learn more French cooking. I'll be scheduling Julia into my afternoon.

Buffalo Chicken PIzza - we had just got a bunch of crap from Costco and they'd sold us on some hot sauce and canned chicken based on a delicious sample, so when we got home we made the dip and then added it to a pizza crust and put some cheese on top.

It was freakin' delicious.

ZombieNates · January 2012

I made these last week and they're delicious. I would just add some spice to them next time.

Because N hates the amazingness that is stuffed peppers, so I need to convert him.

Nates, I hated stufed peppers too until I used quinoa. I hate rice that isn't sticky rice so regular ones grossed me out. Now I am in love.

I LOVE stuffed peppers, but N isn't a fan at all, so I never make them. I'm on a quest now to find good recipes so he'll change his mind.

I've never made quinoa. I'm a little afraid of it. It's easy?
