For Mothers Day, I was thinking I wanted a break from cooking, then I was thinking lobster would be more economical than takeout (although we'd still have to get something for DH since he doesn't care for lobster). Then I was thinking I wanted steak! Today was a beautiful sunny day, DH and I were both off, so I bought steak at Costco and we had that tonight (DS had salmon, he doesn't care for steak). It was delicious.
Can you tell I'm all about food? DH and DS aren't all that picky although it seems that way from my post above. It's just that DS doesn't like roast beef or steak (too chewy he says!), and DH isn't a fish or seafood person. DS and I both love anything fishy, and he likes meat loaf or burgers, just not solid beef like roast or steak. DH and I both enjoy beef in nearly all forms.

Working on the leftovers - tonight was the roasted chicken and potatoes - I cut up and put in the oven on high temp to crisp up; husband also worked on the skin/bones from when I made soup.

Suppose to be another lovely day here...so I guess another BBQ ...today I'm going to bbq a small chicken, take out the back bone, flatten, add spices, cook over in-direct heat (keep the cover down) ands slather and baste with sauce towards the end ; it's really very good. And, seeing that the bbq will be going for so long, prob do a potato packet and whatever else I can find in the fridge.
I'm going to a Mother's Day/graduation party dinner tomorrow and besides everything else I'm bringing I decided to make these as a little joke. Someone shared on FB and I thought it was so cute (and easy)!

KelJo, those are so stinkin' cute :D
Last night I made the yummiest salad ever (according to DH). I filled a HUGE bowl with chopped romaine, baby spinach, yellow and red tomatoes from the university so they were super sweet, green onions, red&yellow peppers, avacado, corn that was charred, black beans that were warmed with the corn and Mexican hot sauce, rotisserie chicken that I warmed up in chick stock that was fortified with mex hot sauce/cumin/garlic/Chili powder,and lastly tortillas that I cut in strip and toasted in the oven with cumin and Chili powder. The dressing was just evoo and fresh lemon juice and then a small amount of jalapeño ranch that I reeeeeally watered down so DH wouldn't take it all

Laboured longer than usual to try a new recipe from my newest book ( Gluten Is My Biotch) and after grating all that cheese, roasting and pureeing the butternut squash, boiling 2 separate pots of the elbow macaroni ( One GF, One reg ), making the white sauce from scratch ( boo hoo ) I ended up with 2 fab Mac & Cheese dishes.
I clearly marked each with a note indicating GF and not......DH put them into the fridge for me, we go out.
Come back DS has polished off about a third of the GF one!!
DH had tossed the notes in the garbage before covering them to put away?????
WHY??

^ well, what was his answer?
I had a late nap (gah, I know!) so didn't make what I wanted to for supper. It was already seven, so I just threw together something quickly for husband - fried up some frozen diced hashbrowns, added bits of leftover chicken, used seasoning salt, lots of pepper, put in an egg and mixed in, added some bbq sauce - that made it too vinegary, so I added some dollops of sour cream - and he loved it.
Me, I dunno - will find something for myself later, I'm easy to please!

yikes, my back is ringing. O.K. so did up 8 pretty plump cabbage rolls ( quinoa and beef), 6 stuffed bell peppers ( I halved them filling each half with quinoa and fine diced chicken breast), a large beef stew ( no potatoes this time, just celery, carrots and snow peas ) and was able to use some of the stew to make a 10 1/2 " GF meat pie. Mmmmm that boxed flour mix was pretty good, just fussy to roll as usual. Steamed broccoli and cooked carrots as sides. Happy Mother's Day to all the cooks!

Made chili yesterday with ground pork, barley, variety of veggies - served with macaroni and garlic crescents.
Had leftover chili and pasta today, along with a salad.

Last night I made Asian style marinade for chicken thighs. It had orange juice, ginger,brown sugar, soy sauce,star anise and Szechwan peppercorn. I didn't have those so I subbed reg pepercorn mixture. It totally needed the spicier Szechwan ones but still yummy. Served with basmati rice that was cooked in chicken stock and orange juice topped with peanuts I toasted on the BBQ and green onions
dessert was pineapple grilled in butter,brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with vanilla ice cream and freshly toasted coconut.
