What's for dinner?

lennonkdc · November 2011

So, I'm at a loss for what to cook for dinner. I'm opening the floor to the NEY ladies. I have no dietary restrictions, and I love every thing. I would like dinner take less than and hour to make.

So, my foodie friends- What should I make for dinner?

I'm going on a date with Andrew! We're getting sushi and then watching an anime!

I would suggest the following for dinner:
Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallions- http://allrecipes.com/recipe/bacon-wrapped-pork-medallions/detail.aspx
Roasted Asparagus- http://allrecipes.com/recipe/oven-roasted-asparagus/detail.aspx
and Mashed Potatoes

CRAPPPPP I forgot to take something out of the freezer for dinner!!!

Sorry that's no help for you LOL but what do have at your house or are you grocery shopping?

Marinated tuna steaks with steamed asparagus and roasted new potatoes!

cu97tiger · November 2011

My suggestion:

Buy a couple chicken breasts, melt butter/margarine in a bowl, and mix in a tablespoon of mustard (any kind you like). In a large plastic bag, mix 1/2 cup of bread crumbs (I like panko or italian), with 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.

Dip chicken in melted butter/mustard mix, then place in bag. Shake until covered. Repeat with all chicken breasts. You may need to add more bread crumbs/cheese.

Bake as you normally would bake chicken. It is YUMMY!

My dinner:

I'm going to one of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix with a few of my girlfriends to discuss my Scottsdale shower/bachelorette party. This place has a $20 deal for a board of bruschetta and a bottle of wine. CAN'T WAIT!

I am making homemade vodka sauce with pasta and homemade meatballs!

Here's the vodka sauce recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-vodka-sauce/

The meatball recipe is my mother's, and there are no real measurements, and everything is to taste:
1 lb ground beef (I've also used ground turkey and ground chicken)
1 egg
Italian style breadcrumbs
Tomato sauce
Parmesan cheese
Oregano, rosemary, basil, salt, pepper (any spices you like!) to taste

Mix everything together. If mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs. If too dry, add more tomato sauce. Roll into balls, place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 F for about 20-30 minutes, or until no longer pink inside.

Sometimes, I put tiny little balls of mozzarella cheese in the center of the meatballs

I think I'm going to make that for dinner tonight. It sounds yummy! I wish we had some wine to go with it! Hope you have fun!

We're having meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

I also love Rachael Ray's Parmesan Crusted Tilapia recipe

It's basically:
coat tilapia in olive oil
cover in a mixture of parmesan cheese and a bit of paprika (like 1 cup: 1 teaspoon ratio)
Cook at 400 for 20 min.

Delish

[Deleted User] · November 2011

we are going here for my mom's birthday tonight: Eischen's

check out the menu: only 8 items listed... one vegetable (fried okra).

definitely not my first choice, and I'm sure I'll spend the rest of the week paying for it!

bside, your meatballs and vodka sauce sound fabulous!!

lennonkdc · November 2011

MMM that all sounds so good!

I have to go get groceries on my way home from work. I'm leaning towards the breaded chicken, or blue cheese stuffed pork chops (I found a recipe)....

I really want sushi, so I'm very jealous Lunar

Why thank you! It's a good comfort food =D And that recipe makes a huge batch of vodka sauce, so there's plenty left over to stick in the freezer for later.

You can use any brand, really! I mean, the vodka I use is so cheap it's not even drinkable, but it makes some damn good sauce.

[Deleted User] · November 2011

I'm going with ordering Chinese take-out! After entertaining guests for 4 days...i'm not lifting a finger in the kitchen tonight!! Besides, it's less than 1 hour and made to order - so it totally fits your requirements!

sorry i'm no actual help here lennon...

csousa1 · November 2011

Last night I made butternut squash risotto, grilled asparagus, and baked salmon with a saffron cream sauce. It was sooooo good.

Tonight will be a lot more boring, since I have less time to prepare. Multigrain pasta with turkey bolognese. Still very yummy though!

lunarsongbird · November 2011

Sake....we all need some sake.

Peaseblossom55 · November 2011

I am eating leftover chinese food.

</div><div>So, I went with BSide's Vodka sauce. Its currently simmering away on the stove. I kicked it up with a ton of garlic and shallots instead of just onions, fresh oregano and thyme from my garden, and a pinch of red pepper flakes It smells delish, and I'm going to cook up some Italian sausage, and some garlic bread. </div><div>

Whoop whoop!

Sounds awesome, lennon. You inspired me to add a heaping pile of garlic to mine as well, LOL. FI doesn't get home until 8:30ish, so I just started now.

Let me know how it turns out!!

SopChick · November 2011

That vodka sauce looks fantastic, I will have to give that one a try. Thanks for sharing

BF and I are having steak and baked potatoes for dinner. I'm done the run of the opera now, so I actually had time to do groceries and make real food for dinner tonight!

<div>Nom Nom Nom! It was soooo yummy!! I've never made my own sauce before, but this was awesome! I have enough for lunch tomorrow and I froze enough for a whole meal later this month :)</div><div>
</div><div>Next time I'm doubling the amount of garlic (at least, BF and I love garlic) and adding a few pinches more red pepper. But for a first attempt I'm feeling pretty pleased about what just happened :) Thanks Bside!</div>
