What's For Dinner?

[walkonby]

Well the best laid plans went awry as we bought T.O. fish and chips on the way home after our massive 2 store grocery shop. ( exhausting ). We did set a new record for getting all the groceries put away though....the aroma of the food was incentive!

Enough of that...... Later in the week we are going to make a Portuguese soup who's ingredient list hit all the right notes for us! Bought the Portuguese sausage and spinach for it today, ( we're swapping spinach for the yucky kale they use ) but everything else we pretty much had here.

DH has requested ( whenever I am up to it ) more lemon chicken! Oy! Did he know how much work that was? I will NOT make a full tray of the sk/bl breasts if I make it again. DS had planned to take another stab at Beef Wellington....so we'll just wait and see who gets in the kitchen first I guess?

@KelJo I went on a search for Donair products locally to no avail but I happened upon this recipe that I thought you might be interested in seeing it's an east coast speciality.

That looks gooood!!! I'll probably try it in the near future. Thanks!

@walkonby we grew up on “clean out the fridge “ soups. They were never the same twice but they always tasted delicious. I still make it today. Leftover pasta, rice, bits of soup, veg whatever odds and sods.
@crafter samosas are my fave
@KelJo that pie looks soooooooo good. Is it bad it’s only 8am and I’m craving it now

The pie was yummy!! ha ha....I added a layer of cool whip to the top and shaved chocolate, it tasted like reese's pieces

Tonight we will feast on steak (and porkchops for my big eater) baked potatoes, green beans and ceaser salad.

Steak for us as well! DH cut 3 thick steaks off of one of the Metro roast of beef. They are marinating atm.
Sides will be smashed spuds ( oven baked till soft, pressed flat, brushed with butter, EVOO and salt, baked again, flipped and last baking to crisp them up outside ) , brussel sprouts, green beans for veg.
We will be eating quite late tonight though as we had indulged in a massive breakfast after all that snow clearing this morning.
Not like it made ANY difference, more snow has fallen fell continually....ugh!

Tonight we are trying 15 minute one pan sundried tomato & basil gnocchi

cool are they the Olivieri skillet sensations or from scratch?

We had leftover samosas but we're still hungry, I see popcorn in my horizon

I actually had a bulk package of the shelf stable ones that I had tossed in the freezer, so I just used them frozen and increased my cooking time by 2 minutes.

@crafter I made your stay a bed stew yesterday. I jotted it down when you posted it awhile ago. It was really good. I made it with mushroom soup and had a pan of whole wheat bread in the bread maker ready at the same time. Lots of leftovers for today

That is so wonderful to hear @KelJo ! I use mushroom soup when I make it as well! DH likes me to double the recipe when I make, he says there can never be too much left over stew lol.

I love some of your recipe ideas too. I never would've heard about some of the cool east coast recipes. Have a great day!

Time to dig out from yesterday snow so want to keep dinner simple. Going to put Balsamic Chicken in the Slow Cooker, then closer to dinner I will make a batch of rice and heat up some stir fry veggies.

Last night was buffalo cauli burgers. The pic was from the first time I made it almost 2 summers ago. I don’t always have the energy or time to snap pics.

No idea about tonight’s dinner. I started the day with a 12km(30 min) peloton ride through Iceland followed by what was supposed to be a light weight upper body workout but I used my 8lbs instead of the 3 or 5’s the recommended, then the full body stretch and the calming meditation. I also had to do my rehab for my foot injury and loads of laundry and some cleaning.

Decided on homemade pizza since DH mentioned pizza was on his mind so I made it with a side salad to have after his workout.

It's chinatown dining week here so i'm going to support local businesses by ordering their take-outs; most are $10/dish so not bad.

I'm trying to make a roast beef, roast carrots and potatoes tonight. DH loves beef rare yet I prefer it well done so I'm slow roasting it...fingers crossed he doesn't choke on dry meat like last time I tried to cook it the normal way. Wish me luck!
