What are you making for supper on 9/6?

[demgurl]

I am so tired and the day is only half over. (think I pushed myself too hard working out) We had a decent amount of beef and rice left over from the tacos last night so the kids will finish that off, I am sure.

Before it is all over I am sure I will marinade chicken breasts in a garlic mix of some sort. Maybe have some corn and spinach. I always make spinach when the boys do not eat what we are having. They hate it and we enjoy it very much.

What are you whipping up?

[spinbaby]

1. Pot roast

It's in the slow cooker so all I have to do is to make something to go with it.

[demgurl]

7. I usually just cook veggies with my roast.....

do you make them separately or are you making even more stuff?

[NMDemDist2]

2. I have a couple of NY Strips in the fridge that I need to cook and for

once it looks like we won't get rain this evening so I can continue to learn my new grill

I'll prolly do my red taters in foil with them and I have some zuccinis I need to cook too

I may try getting some bread dough ready today too, if the vet visit doesn't take too long

[Karenca]

5. I much rather have dinner at your place

than mine.

[NMDemDist2]

6. we've had leftovers for the last two days.

Monday was meatloaf sammies

Yesterday was some stew I had in the freezer

so it's about time I cooked again :rofl:

[demgurl]

8. Hey, AZ, what kind of grill did you get?

Sounds like you will have a delicious dinner. Wish we had steaks.

[NMDemDist2]

11. we got it at KMart, it's a "BBQ Pro" and dinner is all on the grill tonigh

NY Strips from our organic locally raised Angus beef
Potatoes and green onions in foil with butter
Grilled Zuccini and Yellow squash with EVOO and Mrs Dash
Mushrooms sauted in foil with EVOO, Butter, Beefbase and a dash of Balsamic Vinegar


YUMMMM

[demgurl]

14. You had me at "steaks"...

I was drooling with the rest.

We bought ours at KMart last year. Not sure what type - it is all hubby's. It does have a small bit of extras like a side burner.

[NMDemDist2]

16. I didn't get the side burner, I prefer to have the work tables

it's a three burner LP grill and my favorite part is that it's cobalt blue :)

[demgurl]

29. Ooooh, cobalt blue sounds pretty.

Have you pretty much got the cooking down pat at this point?

[NMDemDist2]

31. not yet, it's totally different than my old unit and it's rained so much

that i haven't got a chance to really get used to it yet. :cry:

[demgurl]

32. I wish we had more rain.

I looked up the rain statistics for the city I lived in in Canada and told hubby it rained there about a third of the year and that did not count snow or just plain overcast days. Hubby said that that was not a statistic people would normally look for. I miss my old home. (and the rain and snow)

[NMDemDist2]

33. well, I live in the desert on purpose and this rain is getting danged old

IMHO

:hide:

[demgurl]

34. Sorry about that AZ.

How about sending some rain over to the southeast? I love the rain. I just wish it did not hurt my back so much. I can always feel it when it happens.

[Karenca]

18. I'm on the way over! . nt

[livetohike]

3. Vegetarian fried rice and vegetable gyozas (from Trader Joe's)

Cooked brown rice and stir fried vegetables (mushrooms, carrots, onions, green pepper and cabbage).

[demgurl]

9. That sounds tasty and healthy.

I may have to do stiry fry tomorrow night.

[Karenca]

4. A slight variation of last night's dinner:

Buttermilk fried chicken,
Dirty rice,
Napa cabbage coleslaw
and
Iced white tea.

[demgurl]

10. Do you make the chicken from scratch?

If so, what's your recipe?

[Karenca]

17. Can I still be in your group?

If I tell you, honestly-----

I don't cook a thing!

It's usually prepared food from Dean and DeLuca or Balducci's, etc.

Or, even more pathetic --- It's Delivery.

I live alone now, so I'm just too lazy to cook for myself. Also, if you ever saw the size of a
typical NYC kitchen, you'de plotz!

But, I've always been obsessed with good food. In fact, my son inherited this
trait from me, and is now a Graduate student in NYU for Food Science.
Only difference is he cooks up a storm. Saturday afternoon he's invited
a group of us over for an "English Tea". He'll be baking scones and cakes
and chocolate truffles.

So, please, can I stay here? This is my favorite part of DU.

[NMDemDist2]

19. *Gasp!*

Oh the Horror!!


:rofl: :pals:

all are welcome Karen (except mean people--who according to a bumpersticker i saw "suck" )

[Karenca]

20. Thank you Az

I love this group.

And YOU are very cool.:pals:

[NMDemDist2]

22. thanks

:blush:

[demgurl]

30. Everyone here is pretty friendly.

I have not seen anyone flamed or put down in any way. As AZ said, everyone is welcome. I am basically here for the friendly company and to live through others. I am on a diet right now which means I basically eat grilled chicken and veggies. My imagination is feeding off all the dishes everyone is making. I feel kind of boring in comparison!!!

12. Sweetie isn't home tonight, so I'm just reheating leftovers.

Bean and cheese burrito baked in the tomatillo/parsley salsa verde
I mentioned down in the 'Fresh Tomatillo' thread...

[demgurl]

15. Now I have to find the thread....

I was looking for a good bean and cheese burrito recipe just earlier this week.

[Richard Steele]

23. Here's the recipe in it's entirety:

This makes enough for my 7"x11" Pyrex casserole dish;
we call it 3 servings:

For the burritos, we mix:
1 16oz can refried beans (vegetarian, because Sweetie is)
1 19.75oz can 'La Costeña' whole black beans (pour off liquid)
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
1 cup grated quesadilla cheese (Cacique brand)
1 tbs flour, for thickening (if necessary)

Fill flour tortillas (Sweetie adds pickled jalapeño slices to hers)
roll, and fill the greased/floured baking dish with them.

Blender-made SALSA VERDE:
1/2 of a med. red onion
4 or 5 large tomatillos
1 small Anaheim chili (4") with seeds
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tbs lemon or lime juice

I just give it heck in the blender until it's smooth,
then add extra salt if it needs it(usually does).
This is a fairly mild heat;
another pepper or some cayenne from the spice rack will
pep it up if desired.
It's pretty watery, and thickens as it cooks.

Pour the salsa evenly over the rolled tortillas,
then top with another 1/2 cup of each cheese.

Bake 30 minutes at 350; the sauce should be bubbling
and the top cheese a nice toasty brown when it's ready.

Sour cream on the side.

[demgurl]

28. You are the best. That sounds delicious.

I think I will make it this weekend. Thanks!!!!

[mike_c]

13. some Costco frozen delight or other....

I haven't raided the freezer for inspiration yet. I'm not in the mood for real cooking tonight either, and not very hungry in any event. Nights like this I often skip dinner altogether. Or make a salad, which just struck me as just what I want.

[spindrifter]

21. Nothing great--

Annie's mac and cheese and salad with home grown tomatoes.

[BuddhaGirl]

24. Caesar salad with grilled salmon

from Whole Foods....was not in the mood to cood tonight LOL

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Steak tips, Jasmine Rice, and

Sauteed Summer Squash, Onion, Garlic, and Peppers :9

[politicat]

26. I canned apples today, so we had takeout from the Thai place nearby.

I got through less than half of what we'd picked, which made exactly seven quarts of pie filling. So Friday will be more of the same, I'm sure. (Tomorrow, I'm having a nice day in the park in Boulder. I'm taking a picnic lunch, and my crocheting and an audiobook and I'm going to enjoy the day off while I wait for the company I contract for to write my check so I can get it to the bank tomorrow. So I think we will actually be having food tomorrow night instead of my usual canning day meals - i.e. whatever we can scrounge.)

[Cassandra]

27. I made one of my "noodle" bowls...

with spaghetti squash, some bottled black bean and red pepper sauce from Sharwood's and some sliced smoked duck breast that I had in the fridge. Some fresh pineapple for dessert.
