What's for Dinner?

Today we're having Lox (smoked salmon), with chive cream cheese on sesame bagels.
 

I'm making spaghetti today with meat sauce and some baked squash to go with it. Maybe some of the squash cake for dessert.

Did I mention we have lots of squash?

Rkunsaw...would that be zucchini squash? I grew some last year and became an unwilling expert on cooking with zucchini. The chocolate chip zucchini brownies were my crowning achievement....proving my theory that every is good covered in chocolate!:playful:

PS.. I still have some in my freezer if you run low:eek:nthego:
 

Ozarkgal....NO not zucchini. I prefer yellow squash. I reckon zucchini would do if that's what you have. I just posted the cake recipe I found. I'm thinkin' it's the best cake I ever had.
 
Last night we had homemade tacos, tonight, oven grilled wild
sockeye salmon, with seasoned, sautéed/fried Yukon Gold potatoes in olive oil.
 
Had snow crab legs tonight with hot butter, French bread on the side. Hubby went back and forth from butter to cocktail sauce. We bought a bunch, on sale for $5.99 a pound.
 
Last night we sautéed some tiny sliced roasted red pepper (kind in jar), onion, crushed garlic, chives parsley, Italian spices, etc. in olive oil...then used that as a sauce over some small shell pasta. Undecided about tonight.
 
Last night we had Hillshire Farms turkey sausages with pepperjack cheese. Tonight was homemade hamburgers on Orowheat Crustini rolls.
 
Last night was lox (smoked salmon) with chive cream cheese on bagels. Tonight we had another meal of snow crab legs...one more batch in the freezer for another day. :)
 
Slice of pizza with an organic baby spinach, onion, cucumber, celery, grape tomato, broccoli, red pepper salad with croutons and ranch dressing.

"ranch dressing" .... I hope that's not collected from the cattle pens. ;)

Company coming today, so up early cooking. This is the menu:

Sangria wine spritzer cocktails before dinner (A few of these and who cares what's for dinner).;)

Beer can roast chicken with garden herbs in the can

Home made Potato salad

Fresh from the garden cucumber salad with tomatoes, yellow peppers, basil, red onion, calamata olives, home made Italian dressing, and topped with a sprinkle of Feta cheese.

Fannie Farmer's recipe of home made macaroni and cheese (made earlier and frozen) this is for the kiddos, because who knows what a kid will eat, and they all seem to like mac and cheese.

Pimento cheese beer bread cooked in a cast iron skillet. I usually make this in muffins, but a one pan number is easier. This bread is the bomb!

Double chocolate brownies with frosting, topped with spicy hot roasted peanuts..spicy peanuts only on half, because kids probably wouldn't like the nuts.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner tomorrow..:playful:.

Hubby made a batch of pork in red sauce yesterday...so we had that for dinner by wrapping it in flour tortillas and making pork burritos. He softens some onions and crushed garlic in the crock pot with olive oil. Then he trims and cubes some boneless pork country ribs, and rolls them in flour, and browns them in a black iron fry pan with olive oil.

He puts some cans of enchilada sauce in the crock pot once the onions are super soft, and lets that cook for awhile and meld. Right before I went to bed last night, around 11pm, I put the prepared pork, which was kept in the refrigerator, into the crock pot with the sauce. It slow cooked overnight and throughout the morning on low heat. Pork comes out nice and tender for a burrito buffet, lots left over, so I know what we'll be having tomorrow. :smile-new:
