Last night fiance brought home left over lunch from work - they had a Christmas lunch (one of many this week lol). He brought caribean rice, jerk chicken, curry chicken, spring rolls, a veggie chicken mix, roti and pokara(sp?) which is like a spicy dough ball so good!
Tonight - I am craving swiss chalet and since we are leaving this weekend for my parents house for the holidays our fridge is kinda empty so it will either be swiss chalet or pasta lol

Pigs in blankets :) Going out at 8 and there is going to be food and drinks so I don't want to eat a full out supper but know that I can't survive until 8 without eating! Doing up the homemade dough that tastes almost like the pillsbury stuff. I do half of this no milk no egg biscuit recipe since it's just me: http://www.cooks.com/recipe/819l50kl...-biscuits.html.

I'm in the middle of a HUGE snowstorm so not planning on cooking anything too big today as most likely the power will go at some point (the wind gusts are suppose to be 120km/hr+ gusts by this afternoon--nuts!!) Luckily, I have the woodstove so can probably make some yummy clam chowder on that later..and I have lots of fresh, crusty bread in the freezer!)
-
Daughter coming over tonight after work and i have no clue what to make for dinner! I was thinking maybe homemade hamburgers or cheeseburgers with all the trimmings and some vegies and dip on the side.
-
Last night, husband had leftover KFC and fries - I wasn't hungry when he was, so after he left for a meeting I just made some oven fries.
Tonight will be porkchops - not sure how, or with what yet....
-
Smokies sound like Polonais a l`aile (Polish garlic sausages). Things are a bit different here in Québec so i had no clue what smokies were.
-
The power held, so I ended up making this recipe for Teriyaki Chicken..it was REALLY good. I baked for about 1 hr & 40 mins as they were still a little icy and basted every 10-15mins. (And I didn't have cider vinegar so just used regular vinegar) Yummo! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-T...hicken&evt19=1

Tues night - Christmas potluck - sweet & sour meatballs with sweet peppers & cranberries, wild rice, vegetarian spring rolls, mini perogies, raw veggies & red pepper hummus.
dessert - walnut banana bread, min eclairs, & 2 kinds of homemade bread pudding: chocolate and cranberry - first time I had bread pudding - they were very yummy. :)

My DH helped the school chef and in return he sent home a vegetarian dish of couscous with chickpeas, with sides of steamed asparagus and braised swiss chard. Looks good to me but haven't tried it yet. Anything I don't have to cook sounds good to me-I am in lazy mode today!
-
Ended up making a one pot oven meal (didn't feel a whit creative or energetic today...) - sliced carrots and potatoes on bottom of casserole, just s+p and garlic powder; four pork loin chops on top with a sprinkle of french onion soup mix, drizzle of oil over, bit of water to make a broth while cooking, and baked at 350 for an hour and 15 min - yummers! Sopped up broth with bread/buns.

What's For Dinner?
A new recipe I just tried ... SOOOOOO simple I can't even believe that I didn't think of it before and had to see it in a magazine ....
Pizza macaroni ..
Macaroni, peppers, onions, mushrooms, pepperoni, pizza sauce and popped in the oven with some mozzarella .. Needless to say it was a total hit with DD and DF ..
-
And yesterday was a ham gratin.. Made a thick beshamel type sauce with a touch of gArlic and chicken stock.. Tossed in cubed ham, peas, broccoli and onions.. Plop that in a Pyrex and topped it off with cheddar, emmental and bread crumbs for crunch ..
Cn you tell I bought a magazine with 100 gratin recipes lol! Been craving (apart from munching ice) cheese and crackers and cheese all over everything.. So far so good !
-
I have ordered a veg Combo pizza tonight.:-)
-
I put a pork shoulder roast in the slow cooker this morning...lots of sweet onion, s & p, coated with Diana's chicken & rib bbq sauce...around the 6 -7 hr mark will take out, cut off all the fat, shred, remove the onion bits and put the shredded meat back in the sauce to cook for another hour or so--yummy for pulled pork sandwiches!( I like it on the little fresh dinner rolls)
-
Spinach ravioli, broccoli and my cheat fast and cheap alfredo sauce (can of cream of mushroom soup with maybe a quarter can of water to smooth it out, add garlic powder and parsley and heat up) and homemade garlic bun (regular whole wheat bun with butter, garlic powder, oregano, basil and toasted in the toaster oven)
It's sooo good! One of my favourite things to make and it's super fast and one can of soup does three to four portions so this is my supper for the next three days until I go home for the holidays :) I don't want anything left open in the fridge when I leave so I'm trying to plan out what to eat!
-
Today, no cooking for me - but takeout from one of my fave restaurants - the best chicken burger in the city, steak fries, and Caesar salad; they make the absolutely best dressing, ever, for the salad, and it doesn't get mushy when there are leftovers for tomorrow. Husband had dry ribs.
-
No cooking for me today either! I've been cooking lots this week..and have lots to do today to get ready for Christmas (:shock: ) <- (that's me today!) so I think I will p/u Chinese take-out later. There is one little restaurant that makes the best Chinese food that I have ever tasted.
-
It required a bit of shoveling, but burgers on the bbq, ahhh. :)
However, I will say that Sobeys annoys me in that if you go early in the morning (as people should this time of year in particular!), you get yesterday's ground beef. They advertise that they grind it fresh each day, but they won't give you what they did today until yesterday's is gone. I was there by 8, didn't feel like going back later when it was crazy so I bought the beef that should have been marked down if I were at Superstore.
-
Tonight I made homemade chicken noodle soup - we haven't had it in ages, it was yummy - and since we both have colds, hopefully it will help us out!
-
feel better soon Nat..
i have a huge pot of cabbage rolls boiling on the stove.. can't wait to dig in.
-
Trying to decide what to have today...it's going to be a marathon eating week, so maybe a nice stir-fry this evening with chicken and lots of fresh veggies..over jasmine rice.
-
We're expecting freezing rain here today, so I've put some chicken into the oven for later in case we lose power. I've read on Twitter that in Toronto there's 250,000 customers with no power!
-
Ah, what a nice treat for supper tonight!
Our son is coming over, so when he does, I try to plan those homecooked meals which are his faves.
So tonight, my husband will make schnitzel, I think I'll make roasted potatoes to go with them, pasta salad, and corn.
That means there will be good leftovers for Milan to take home, along with some of the chicken soup from yesterday.
-
-
some turkey meatballs with sweet & sour sauce, some basmati rice and boiled carrots. yum!
-
I will make chicken and veggie stir fry with rice.
-
-
beef stew later with dumplings if I have time to make it..
-
made breaded chicken breast, it turned out really good!!
