Butter chicken, rice and ceasar salad.
Had leftover porkchops in mushroom sauce, and I made roasted potatoes, had leftover corn.
Today I'm making homemade pizzas, son is coming for supper and it's one of his faves.
It's mostly meats for the men - pepperoni, salami, ground pork, ham, onions, and mozza.
last night was frozen pizza. it was pretty good. I recently bought the dr oetker panabello pizzas and they were pretty tasty so we had that. tonight I don't really know. dd1 is sick with the flu and dd2 has a nasty cold so I'm thinking soup
I went out to lunch today, a Chinese restaurant that is reasonably priced but has GIANT portions. When my Mom was in the hospital it wasn't far, I would get two meals for her, DH and myself for supper and it would feed three of us easily (DS doesn't like Chinese food).
I took it back to work and restrained myself, ate only half and was grateful I did, I was really stuffed and falling asleep by afternoon. I'm still not hungry tonight, so DH had my Chinese leftovers, DS had the pork chops from the crockpot on egg noodles. I think that I will not cook those all day in the crockpot again (10 hours), they were overcooked even though I started them from frozen. Sometimes I cook things overnight when they need shorter cooking time. I find that chicken especially can get overcooked in the crockpot, thighs are much more forgiving than breasts though.
I find myself getting really bored lately with what I cook. I'd love to be able to make something like this ginger beef I had for lunch, but without opening a bunch of jars of sauce and such, make it somewhat healthy and less processed. I need some new recipes!
Wild wing - dirty nelly.
I'm in a bit of a pickle. I just worked all day and an beyond exhausted but MIL invited us for dinner. I really like the idea of not cooking but reeeeeeeeeeally don't want to go out anywhere........ What to do......what to do?????
I had a job interview this afternoon. It went good. It could be weeks before I hear back.
I made stroganoff hamburger helper (tinkered with the spices/sauce), freshly boiled carrots with real butter and a glass of milk.
Wanted to add a note about what I did with my homemade pizza - something I hadn't tried before, but surely would do again. The night before, I had roasted six heads of garlic, squished it out and mashed it with a bit of oil. Thought I would use it in mashed potatoes or something.
But after I patted out the dough for the pizzas, I remembered the garlic, so decided to try it on them. I had made three, so spread out the equivalent of two heads on each, on the dough before I put on the sauce.
Well, it was awesome! Added just a new level to the pizza's taste!
So I ended up going to the in laws and helped MIL make Risotto alla Milanese ( with saffron infused stock and Parmesan cheese) OMG! It was simply delish. MIL also made osso bucco to serve with it. Wow! I'm sooooooo glad I went ;)
i made chicken adobo and will make broccoli with rice to go with it.
tonite is meatball and potato soup.
ceasar salad
whatever i can think of for dessert.
I have pizza dough in the bread machine, rising now. Going to top with veggies and some sausage patties I made this afternoon.
Want to hear something ironic?? I spent all that time earlier in the week making food for the cabin..so I went Thursday & Friday night, and yesterday evening/last night a bunch of us got stranded at a cabin about 15mins from my cabin. It was so stormy, complete white-out, too dangerous for snowmobiling in the country, etc we had to stay put..so we ended up with all the yummy food at my cabin and we ended up having for dinner Stove Top & Lipton-cup-a soup (luckily that was in the cupboards) LOL. Too funny!!!
