What are you cooking or baking today?

[Lilac]

Hubby made steak & eggs for breakfast. That will be our main meal today.

He also got a round steak out of the freezer the other day & we needed to cook it too. I ran it through the tenderizer & did chicken fried steak with cream gravy. That will be for tomorrow.

Today we are having fish and chips.

Two types of cookies for the company yesterday. One type was an oatmeal cookie from a diabetic recipe. *Good, if you like sawdust. The second was Raspberry Thumbprint cookies. Yummy.

*I’m being judgemental. They were ok, but when I eat a cookie I want yummy.

Chicken cordon bleu for dinner

 

[StarSong]

Just back from the produce store & Aldi.

Needed some ingredients to pull together my version of the "Jennifer Aniston Salad" that made the rounds a few years ago (that J.A. swore she had no connection to, but that it wasn't too far from something she might eat for lunch).

I always make a big batch se we can enjoy it for 2-3 days.

Here it is!

Gonna make me some baked tuna cakes and homemade French fries with a slice of tomato for dinner

 

[Lilac]

Going to get a chicken out of the freezer to defrost so I can spatchcock a chicken & roast it. Probably will be for tomorrow, so I'll have to think of something for today.

 

[StarSong]

I'm toying with the idea of dragging out the air fryer attachments to my instant pot and reading up on that today. Hoping the changeover from one to the other isn't a hassle.

I have french fries in the freezer that might be good to experiment with.

Found a recipe for cheeseburger pie & decided to try it. Fried up burger, onion & seasonings which was put in a greased pie plate. Topped that with shredded cheddar & then poured a thin batter of egg, milk & flour over all of it. Baked & looked good, but something was missing flavor wise. I don't think I'll try that one again.

Apple crisp!

I’ve been walking past a bowl with five small apples in it for what seems like weeks.

A sane person would probably heed the old proverb: an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

It’s amazing how quickly five apples disappear when baked into something!

 

[timoc]

I can't be bothered cooking today, so it's ice cream and tinned peach slices, and if I'm still peckisk, I'll have seconds.

 

[Lilac]

Nothing fancy today ... meatloaf with a few tater tots. Plenty for left overs. Ice cream for dessert.

Yes indeed. Good call.

I made lemon raspberry bars for Easter dinner tomorrow

 

[Lilac]

I made a batch of meatballs & some of them we had them with our home-made pesto sauce over fettuccine. I put spaghetti sauce over the rest of them in a casserole dish to bake slow & low for a bit.

 

[Jules]

I had some inexpensive steak to cook so did a suggested velvet tenderizer. It worked, unless the steak was already tender. Next time will give me an answer.

The easy creamy peppercorn sauce became really fiddly. The grinder wasn’t grinding right. The Courvoisier cork dissolved into the cognac. It had to go through a sieve. Obviously I don’t use it often. Then I had the wrong kind of cream. It all had great flavour, just too much work
