What Are We Eating For 2014 ..

I bought a 5 pound corned beef that was on sale for $1.97 LB., but won't be making it for St. Patty's Day, some other time when we're in the mood. Love corned beef and cabbage Rkunskaw!

Night before last was Santola King Crab Legs, last night veggie burgers on wheat buns.
 
I have a piece of corned beef cooking, Gerello which is the muscle on the back of the leg, it looks like a whole fillet and is beautiful, not an ounce of fat and is so tender, i will have mashed potato, peas and white sauce with it

 

Sunday night supper was chicken thighs bone & skin on seared in a skillet and then cooked slowly in white wine with herbs and spices..
SIMPLY delicious !!!

Steamed turnip with caraway seeds, mashed with an egg, grated cheese and a grated carrot, baked in the oven in a loaf pan..
SIMPLY delicious !!!


Breakfast was an omelette with caramelized onions..
 
Today; we had chicken with a sauce of pineapple, chile, lime juice, and other secret ingredients....cooked in a skillet...delicious!
 
Mmmm, sounds good Jilly! Rkunsaw, that price was for a tip piece, there were many nice ones to choose from. Hope you enjoyed your St. Patty's Day corned beef, I know you made it really good! That chicken sounds good Vivjen, you have my curiosity up with those secret ingredients! :p

Tonight we had large shrimp sautéed in olive oil with crushed garlic and red pepper, served over whole wheat spaghetti.
 
Last night (Monday) was chicken burgers on the BBQ..
I made them excellent this time by putting in some spices in the mince..

Steamed cauliflower with fresh parsley..


Today is food shopping day instead of Wednesday as they are forecasting a whopper of a storm..
Snow.... FReezing rain... Ice pellets... and whatever else they will throw at us along with high winds...
 
I didn't see the secret ingredients go in Steve!
friday night we had duck legs marinaded in something...with a fresh plum sauce...it was divine!

Your weather is still appalling; I hope that spring has sprung here; it will reach you eventually, I am sure.
 
Viv...
Yeah when ??? It is still in full winter up here.. Spring is in a few days but that is only in theory..
Generally we can get snow up to the middle of April and even then sometimes later than that.....


I don't have any "secret" ingredents.. Herbs and spices is all I use..
 
I ended up using the wok..
Chicken breast cubed and marinated in a honey-garlic sauce for 4 hours..
Garlic, onions, mushrooms, red pepper, broccoli, and cubed zucchini was the veggies....

Breakfast: omelette with caramelized onion, & mushroom.....
 
Having been with the grandchildren; I have had fish and chips from the chip shop; a posh pizza with extra ham topping; then I cooked them sausages.
back to normal food today, though what I don't know!
 
For supper tonight (Sunday) I made chicken breasts baked in the oven, covered in a mayo-lemon sauce with herbs & spices..
It tasted similar to the KFC chicken but not crispy..

Steamed broccoli with sesame seeds..

Breakfast: omelette with onions....
 
rkunsaw..
Aren't you lucky you can get away with it..
Here, a meal is a meal !!! (unfortunately)......


For supper tonight, I still have NO idea what to cook, as yet !!!
It will be something "chicken" for sure....
It will be early, simple, and fast as I have a council meeting.....

I am thinking of B/S chicken thighs in a honey-garlic sauce in the skillet and then in the oven..

Some sort of steamed veggie..
 
Those thighs turned out just fine..

Tonight (Tuesday) I will take a large chicken breast and pound it thin.. Bread it in herbs and spices and then into the pre-heated skillet it goes..
That will serve 2 nicely...

Steamed cauliflower, smashed with sour cream, spices and fresh parsley.....


Breakfast: cheese omelette with chives..
 
Rkunsaw, we sometimes have a can of skinless/boneless sardines for dinner too. With it we'll have crackers, artichoke hearts, cheese, or whatever's around the house.

Steve, you make a lot of nice chicken dishes for yourself and your wife. Do you just buy pieces of chicken from the supermarket, and freeze them? We usually just buy boneless/skinless chicken breasts and oven-grill them.

Good luck at the dentist Larry, I hate going there, but drag myself there at least once a year for a cleaning. :brush: Last night we had homemade refried bean burritos, smothered in cheddar cheese and green chili sauce. Tonight will be over-grilled salmon fillet with Yukon gold potatoes.
 
Seabreeze:
I buy chicken when it goes on special.. I buy pieces in big quantities, repack them in freezer bags and freeze them in portions for 2...

Chicken breasts both boneless skinless and skin & bone in..
Chicken thighs both boneless skinless and skin & bone in..
Drumsticks..
Legs..
Minced chicken and minced Turkey..
 
Tonight I tried something completely new.. I tried to invent a new recipe and it came out sooo good that Princess told me it was a keeper..

Chicken thighs skin & bone in seared in a skillet with spices till golden ...
Place in a baking pan with a base of sliced onions, thighs over the onions and covered with a can of mushroom soup.. Add some liquid (I added white wine)
Bake @ 375f for about 40 minutes.. Add to the top some diced celery, pepper, and mushrooms.. Bake for another 15 minutes and serve....

Steamed broccoli was the veggie..


First time I make this meal and it was very good and tasty...
 
Sounds very tasty Steve! :D Usually if we have to freeze things, we use our vacuum packer. It removes all the air from the package, and acts like an air tight freezer bag. Food lasts much longer with no chance of freezer burn, etc.

Tonight we had pork carnitas in tortilla wraps.
 
For tonight, in this HUGE snow storm we are having, I am looking at some "comfort" food..
A cheeseburger pie which is a sort of different type of meatloaf...
Minced, veggies, cheese in a casserole form............
