What's for Dinner?

Pappy..
I agree and it is almost impossible to create a bad meal that way..

I also like those casseroles that are one dish meals..
 

Supper tonight is going to be a pot of my beef vegetable soup. All the veggies in it come from our garden, which makes it especially tasty! I think i will make some cornbread muffins to go with it. It's rather chilly today in South Carolina so it's a perfect day for this kind of meal. Yum, I can't wait until it's time to eat, lol

Copy cat:lofl: Yesterday we opened a jar of vegetable soup we canned this summer and cooked some stew meat to go in it.Gonna have more of it tonite.
 

LOL rkunsaw.......you must have sent thoughts of soup my way. Wanna share your recipe for canning that soup? I have been wanting to can soups, but simply have not had the time. I'm hoping next week to cook and can some beef and chicken broth, plus I still have banana peppers to can, and tomatoes in the freezer I want to make sauce with and can. :stirthepot::pepper:
 
Seabreezy, I do most of the gardening and help with the preparation, but my wife does the actual canning. The only recipe we have is the Ball Blue book to give canning times.

There is no recipe because every batch we make has different vegetables that happen to be ready in the garden. We try to get as much variety of vegetables as we can in each batch.

Took home some smothered chili rellanos (crispy) from a good Mexican restaurant.

Rellanos sound so good and now you're talking my kind of cooking these days, little or no cooking. And to think I owned my own catering business for a few years, loved every minute of it at the time -- relatively young and and had lots of energy -- but I totally burned out on it. Rarely do any serious cooking anymore, other than for guests (and that's not often) or holidays. Living alone sometimes has definite advantages. (wink!)
 
I am thinking Italian for tomorrow supper..
I have some lovely veal sausages that will make a superb dish with red wine and many veggies and served on a bed of pasta of some kind.....
 
This afternoon, Tony is going to grill us up a couple of rib eye steaks. I will do some baked potatoes and also cook some onions and mushrooms to top the steaks with. He's doing this in celebration of my birthday which was this past Tuesday, the 22nd. He had to work that day so we're celebrating today. Oh, and he's carving a pumpkin right now for Halloween...he's such a big kid, lol.:happy:
 
LOL rkunsaw........it sure as heck wasn't my 22nd birthday! I wouldn't go back that far for nothin'. It was my 55th birthday, don't like that number much, but no choice but to take it. Yer as young as ya feel! Thanks for the birthday wish!!
That unstuffed pepper casserole sounds good!

Happy belated birthday Seabreezy! :happybday: We love rib-eyes too, and hubby makes them on the charcoal barbeque also. Those caramelized onions are to die for with them too!
 
We ordered delivery yesterday from a good Chinese restaurant, so we had the leftovers tonight, beef with scallions, coconut curry shrimp, basil shrimp and coconut curry pork.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. I hope it will be a very special year for you and yours. That meal you 2 put together sounds delicious. I dearly love m'rooms and onions, but have never put them on my steak. I look forward to trying that!

Again, have a wonderful b'day week!:D

Happy belated Birthday seabreezy! Those ribeyes sound great..Hope you really enjoyed them.
 
Yesterday I stuffed a whole chicken with lots of garlic, butter and spices under the skin and roasted it beer can style over the campfire. When it was almost done I cut it in half and slathered half with bbq sauce, wrapped it in foil to finish and eat tonight. The other half was served with dressing, gravy and a broccoli medley steamed over the camp fire as well. Love that camp fire cooking, and this is the time of year for it!
 
Thank you Seabreeze, Katybug and Ozarkgal for the kind words! We truly enjoyed our steak dinner. I have to say my man is the King of the Grill when he cooks, lol.
Katybug, you really should try those onions and mushrooms on a steak. I don't eat mushrooms but LOVE the caramelized onions. Tony wraps the mushrooms up in foil and puts button on them, then puts them on the grill with the steaks. I'll admit they do smell good.
Ozarkgal, we also do beer but chickens, and those are delicious!
Seabreeze...you must love the ocean and anything about it like I do!
 
I've been away for a few days, but obviously I am back...

For tonight's supper, I took out of the freezer a package of B/S chicken thighs that I will be pan frying in a sauce of some sort..

I still have some carrots and parsnips from our garden that I will steam, smash, add some butter, herbs, and spices ..... as a veggie..


Breakfast will be scrambled eggs..
Lunch.. ???????
 
I found some sauerkraut in the freezer Monday and put it in the refrigerator to thaw. Today I'll heat it with some Polish sausage. Maybe a pan of cornbread to go with it.

I think I'll have a bowl of raisin bran this morning.
 
Thanks Rkunsaw....love sauerkraut with sausage and would love to try making some. Since it calls for pretty specific temperatures while fermenting, where do you keep it while it's working?
 
It depends on the weather. We like to make it in the fall while temperatures are moderate and keep it in the garage.If temperatures get too extreme on way or the other we move it into the house.

We never seem to have the ideal temps but it so far has always turned out good.
 
My dearest Princess (wife) has been asking me for Italian again ever since I made that awesome meal last week..
Well, tonight looks like I will accommodate her once more..

I have some veal sausages that I will skin, cook in onions, garlic and other veggies in a red wine sauce with herbs and spices..
I will serve that over a bed of pasta..

An antipasto salad on the side..

Breakfast; I have some good burger buns (Vienna rolls) that I will toast (under the broiler) with butter and place some cheese on the bottom half and place a scrambled egg with chives on top and then cover..

Lunch;....... I won't say !!!
