Hope you don't have to sleep in the kitchen Nat!:-)
Our community is having a week long festival that kicked off today... so today it was about the kids, bbq (all free) loot bags, face painting, punt rides, prizes etc...the weather was so cold...I wore a sweater and 2 jackets..the event was almost canceled but we went ahead with it anyway despite the cold & FOG...so guess who did all the bbqing? moi!! lol...it was a lot of fun, it was only hotdogs and hamburgers so once going I was in the groove and was able to fed EVERYONE 2x over....lol....
That sounds fabulous Keljo and you probably had the warmest spot of the day.
It was an easy dinner tonight. I made a hash with the leftover veggies from the platter I got at Costco with some onions and leftover BBQ chicken.
I made a milkshake for dessert using the best strawberry ice cream ever!( Edalen Dairy) skim milk and PC shredded coconut Greek yougurt. Man it was soooooooo good! Nothing better than strawberries and coconut. I added some chocolate chips to DH's shake.
Edaleen is just across the border from me! 10 mins away. I love zipping over their for ridiculously cheap cheese and sometimes ice cream.
Mom is making pork tenderloin with cranberry sauce, steamed broccoli, orzo salad with feta and cherry pie for dessert.
bbq chicken wings with potatoes, yellow beans and carrots. and a green salad.
Tonight will be Pork Chops (hopefully on the BBQ), I think I will marinade them in Soy Sauce Worcheshire Sauce with some spices. We will have this with roasted potatoes and broccoli salad and maybe a garden salad depending on my ambition.
...made a big batch of spaghetti with meat sauce, so have some for today and tomorrow (I love spaghetti!) and a few containers for the freezer :)
Assorted Chicken pieces on the BBQ with baked potatoes and a tossed salad. Dairy Queen for dessert.
I found a great deal on turkey drumsticks yesterday (not normally available in most stores here). So we had those today and yesterday, REALLY good. Last night I even made a bit of gravy with them. I recently purchased a pressure cooker and have been using it all the time, so I did the drumsticks partway in there and browned in the oven.
I removed the bones from the drumsticks before serving, and tonight I used the liquid from yesterday and tonight, put the bones in from both nights and made a really nice broth in the pressure cooker. I purchased some turkey thighs at the same time, going to make some soup this week using that broth and the thighs.
I'm going to buy a roast chicken from CO-OP. Their app has a $3 off offer on it. We have leftover boiled potatoes in the fridge. I'm not sure what else we will have with it.
I want to use the leftover chicken with tomorrow's supper. I have some long skinny noodles in the pantry (forget the name), water chestnuts, thinly sliced carrot, thinly sliced celery, green onion from the garden, and make a sauce and put it all together. I'm already looking forward to that meal, just have to wait until tomorrow.
Husband's request (he doesn't do it often, he is SO sweet and usually is fine with whatever I make) is homemade chicken soup, so it's on the boil.
We usually eat lots of soup at suppertime, but a few hours later you know how you get hungry? So depending upon that, husband will eat off the bones and skin (his choice, lol! he loves it; I take all the meat off for another meal), and I usually have a sandwich.
I had champaign brunch at the local golf club at 11 today..... It's doubtful I will be having dinner today maybe even tomorrow!! Lol nursing a big food baby
Oh Natalka, you SO need a pressure cooker! Soup is amazingly fast in it. I have a chicken based soup I used to make in the crockpot for five hours, made it in 40 minutes in my Instant Pot. Tonight I tossed my turkey bones into a bit of liquid, 30 minutes later I have amazingly flavourful bone broth that I will make into soup probably later tonight or tomorrow with the turkey thighs I also bought yesterday!
Zonny, I've thought about it, but it's rare that I'm rushed for time. Boiling chicken for an hour and a half is no biggie!
tonight for dinner im ``making`` Dr Oetker`s frozen pizza.
Meatballs tonight with rice, zucchini and curry sauce.
Last night was lasagna from Costco (it's pretty good but defiantly not homemade), a salad fusion of Italian and Greek. Basically a Greek salad but with a balmasic and grainy mustard vineagrette and garden fresh basil and I also made garlic toast with parm and jalapeņo jack cheese :P
I don't know about the rest of you but one of these days I definitely would like to make it over for dinner-especially to Keljo's and Harbies and Natalka's Ukranian feasts amongst many others!! I will also have to check out this Edaleen cheese mentioned from south of the Can border as I will be out that way in a couple of weeks. Also looking forward to lots of fresh BC fruit!
Tonight I am going to make Bruschetta Chicken on the BBQ with either Rice or Pasta and thinking a side Kale Salad.
I just finished frying up two pkgs. of bacon for BLT's. Boy! what a bad time for fan above the stove to die.
I want to have everyone else's food, too - we need a giant potluck for SCers!
Tonight for supper, using chicken I boiled for soup yesterday, I'm making what my son calls chicken stew - cut up chicken meat, sauteed onions and celery; peas, carrots, corn, green beans - all put together with a garlicky mushroom sauce and served over smashed potatoes.
Almost forgot - with homemade pickled beets!
Oy, I quoted it, then forgot to comment.
Yes, do it in the oven. A pound of bacon fits in a 9x13, lined with parchment. Overlap at first, then they shrink. I do it at 350 degrees, can't remember how long, but once it starts cooking, I pour off the gunk, flip, and keep baking.
Bakin' bacon is the way! Lay it out on parchment paper in the oven.
I didn't plan for supper well, so fished something out of the freezer. Since buying my pressure cooker I've started freezing meats already seasoned and ready for the cooker. So I took out some pork chops that had garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger. Put them in frozen, they will be done in about 40 minutes. Already have rice cooked.
Tonight my honey is making a fancy pasta dish with chicken. Saturday night we did 2 whole chickens on the bbq (flattened and cooked with a brick wrapped in tinfoil on top- Brick chicken we call it) So had that with potatoes grilled veggies. Sunday night we used the chicken to make quesidias (sp) with peppers, onion from the garden etc. Leftover chicken to top my lunch salad today and tomorrow! Going to have to buy more for the freezer for sure!
Grilled fast fry Pork chops, baked potatoes and cauliflower in a cheese sauce.
2 All Dressed Hot Dogs made by me(purchased all the stuff) ,diet pepsi and frozen rasberries yogurt for dessert for later.Very hot day in here.32 degres now.
@Zonny , I need to try this. I'm just worried the oven will catch on fire with the grease. :yikes:
