I had a huge lunch today as well, Chinese Food!! and it was so good. I tried EVERYTHING! I am still full..hee hee...so just some artichoke & asiago (summerfresh) dip on a baguette with a cold, crisp glass of white.
I almost went for Chinese food, had myself all tuned up for ginger beef. But it was raining, it was further away for the Chinese than the Lebanese. And I know even if I didn't eat it all the first time, I would have gone back for the rest of it out of the fridge! :) The healthier aspect of the Middle Eastern food was the tipping point.
Tonight's supper was roast beef, corn, asparagus and yorkshire pudding. Dessert was apple pie.
BBQ this evening for sure! Prime rib steak and whatever else I can cook on the BBQ i.e. potatoes, corn on the cobb, mushrooms, etc
1/2 bag salad
Sat a.m saw me wanting to do DH's Father's Day food special up early! ( Prepared 6 full slabs of ribs into 2 roast pans, did one batch with usual BBQ sauce, the other with Hoisin and some sweet thai chili sauce) Then trimmed 8 huge chix legs of most of the excess skin, crumbed them and baked till crispy! Steamed up a massive bowl of carrots/green beans and sliced up 9 kiwis, a cantaloupe and a honeydew to encourage some healthy eating. lol.... It was an all day grazing sort of day, with the sunshine we had. Right now I am doing a large batch of rice with many sauteed veg thrown into it, sort of a stir fry ( well you know like fried rice really) Have no idea what to make once the rest of the ribs/chicken is eaten though.
I did a lot of cooking this evening!
DH wanted steak for supper for Fathers Day, and we already had some in the freezer. Seven year old DS does not like steak. And I normally cook extra on Sundays to have leftovers for a day or two for lunches/suppers.
So it was grilled steak, grilled chicken thighs (skin removed), grilled corn on the cob, salad (I bought a package of six romaine on sale last week), mussels and slice/dice potatoes. Oh, and I did some pork chops in the crockpot too.
The steak had a teriyaki mixture on it when I froze it, the chicken thighs I rubbed with chipotle powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper and brushed with bbq sauce while on the grill, the corn I did in a grill basket I bought at Crappy Tire last week on sale for $5, sprayed with olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt. The corn browned a bit and was very tasty, it all was tasty actually! DS had salad and mussels, we had steak, potatoes and corn.
For the next couple of days we'll have salads with grilled chicken for lunch, maybe with a bit of corn ripped off the cop with my nifty Oxo tool. For the next couple of days for supper, the pork chops and salad with some corn.
Last night we had steak on the Bbq with baked potato, corn and mushrooms and onion. Cooked extra steak and tonight we are having steak fahitas with salad
Steak and baked potatoes here too for Father's Day supper:
Last night I was at my Dad's for father's day, we had BBQ Salmon (shocked to day, I liked it, I do not normally eat fish) with grilled veggies and potato salad.
I made a hamburger last night for Father's Day...my dad loved the bbq and loved burgers so seemed fitting to have one for once. I couldn't bbq though since it was a nice day and everyone in my building had the same idea :( There was a line up to use the bbq's and I didn't want to wait so ended up throwing it in the frying pan like mom usually does.
alicia, my son would eat mussels before steak, too! Odd critters, aren't they?
Tonight we are having leftover pizza - ordered two XLs all dressed yesterday, and husband didn't feel like eating, so there are 1 1/2 left. So with that I'll make a garden salad and a broccoli/grape salad, and a pot of tomato veggie noodle soup.
Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, salad. I <3 mashed potatoes (and the rest was yummy too!).
dinner was freshly fried, crispy pakoras! with ketchup of course :p
I had a Dr's appt today, he shook my hand twice and even gave me a high-5 so i figure gluttoning out on fatty carbs is A-OK haha.
*groan*
i will smarten up... tomorrow, maybe Wednesday ;)
For supper tonight, I'll make chop suey - I usually use pork loin, but I have a lone teriyaki marinated sirloin steak to use today.
I am falling behind on this thread..lol..sunday was the big Father's Day get together, there was so much food but the highlight was frying insane amounts of chicken wings in a turkey deep fryer outside..LOL.. and there was every kind of different sauce i.e. honey garlic (my fav!) hot, bbq, etc..I have never seen so many wings! Yummy!! Yesterday was leftover steak on cheese buns with a garden salad. Today I think I will do a spice rubbed pork tenderloin and cook that on the bbq, maybe have some rice with it and grill some veggies.
probably home made asparagus soup
leftover Kd and some pork chops.
If I end up in Medicine Hat today, which I probably will, Booster Juice for smoothies and the only fast food I like.... Wendy's for a baconator.. of which, I can only eat half <<--- but I put all the bacon on the half I eat :)
Yahoo!!!
Mmmmmm, reading back through the thread is making me so hungry, AND making me want to get up and start cooking. Dr says I can do a little bit but not to over do it. Since my grandsons b-day is on Friday (summer solstice) I'm going to bake a cake for him to take to school. I usually do cupcakes, but this year I'll have to settle for a cake. Cupcakes would take to long for me to decorate. I'm hoping that a lot of you will send over some of the leftovers, everyone's meals sound amazing, and Nat...chow mein is one of my favorite things!!! So, please.......:tongue:
We had an amazing fathers day meal, well more like a feast. All my dd's gathered here and made an amazing buffet. The feature was of coarse, my dh's favorite, salt and pepper ribs. So we had plenty of those, plus some with bbq sauce and some with teriyaki sauce. Then there were Greek and watermelon and feta salads, garlic buns, stuffed potatoes, corn on the cob, grilled chicken breast and apple pie (dh's favorite) and chocolate, gluten free cake. As I smile to myself I think what amazing cooks all my dd's are, and I get a lot of thanks from the husbands too:P They definitely got that from me :cheesygrin:
holly, that food sounds awesome, and of course they got their cooking talent from you!
And I'd love to share supper with you! I don't make chop suey the 'proper' way probably, but the way my mom used to, so it's awfully Canadianized, I suppose. As much as I love takeout chow mein, every few months I want the kind I make, lol!
Tonight I will be BBQing fish and chicken (making lots to do us for dinner and then lunches/dinner the next few days. Will make corn and fries for the kids. I will have salad with lots of veggies :)
Leftover crockpot pork chops and mashed potatoes.
Musta not been totally awake this morning - mixed up chow mein and chop suey - I shall be making the latter! :)
couple slices of cheese
It's been pretty simple and easy around here lately. I have done several versions of rice. 1 Mexican with black beans, corn, cilantro and mexi spices like cumin. 1 with edamame beans (my personal fave:P), corn and scrambled eggs. I also made chick thighs with a roasted pineapple/habenero sauce to go with the rice. MIL made Indian curry with rice and a salad with yougurt dressing and a lemon pound cake with fresh strawberries and cream:P
Tonight is Greek style coucous with sundried tomatoes,artichokes,oilves before we head south for fuel and food.
