What are you cooking or baking today?

Going to grill a marinated deer steak which is the last meat from the old deer. I have brussel sprouts that I'll roast in the oven. We were lucky (not for the deer) to get road kill this year & just picked it up from the processor. There hasn't been much movement through our woods during this hunting season. I swear they know when to come & go, LOL.

Made a large pot of French style vegetable soup yesterday afternoon. I'll likely end up freezing about half of it today.

It's a basic soup that lends itself well to individual servings being reheated with additional veggies or broth, or bulked up with beans, potatoes, rice, barley or tofu.

That sounds really good Starsong.
We are making chicken noodle soup today. It’s good for cold season

Barley is such a terrific grain, isn't it? I cook a couple of batches in the instant pot, ziplock bag it into about 2 cup portions, then use them for soup, salads, whatever.

I'll probably have the instant pot going most of tomorrow because I'm out of frozen chick peas (for hummus), brown rice and barley, and am down to my last little bag of quinoa.
 
I trudged to the local Tops friendly market this morning and found two pounds of ground turkey with yellow half price stickers.

When I got home, I made a pot chili and a meatloaf.

Tonight will be a cold meatloaf sandwich with chips and a pickle!

Tomorrow will be chili with a pan of cornbread. 🐷

I’ll prepare a couple packets for the freezer.

Daughter found a jar of lemon pesto at Trader Joe's a while back. Tonight she made it with linguine & added chicken to it. It was very good.

When they get it back in, I'll be getting a few more jars. It was one of their specials they had for sale in the summer.

Ooooh! I'll have to try that. Will see if it's in stock at my TJ's.
 
Mashed potatoes from a package. Just add water. Sauerkraut, pineapple, raisins and grated old cheese on top. 20 mins in the ove. Haven't eaten this in ages. Learned the recepy from a roommate who studied to become a dietician.

Tomorrow I’ll be using a jar of Tika Masala as the basis of a pot of soup. Anything goes.

It was excellent and I’m saying this as someone who doesn’t eat her own soup.

Cooked the soaked garbanzos this morning. Added onions, minced garlic, coconut milk, carrots, potatoes and the jar of Tika Masala. At the end, I added a few spices and chunks of cauliflower.

I’ll even buy another jar of this Tika Masala, if it goes on sale.
 
Tonight for supper I am making some apple raisin pork chops.

Those chops look real tasty, @Jazzy1. I haven't made it in a while, but I have German recipe for thin sliced pork cutlets season with marjoram that is cooked with sliced onions & apples.

You've made me hungry for that. Especially with the cold weather moving in, some good comfort food will be needed.
 
Salad, French fries, and lobster tails.

I bought a pair of 3 ounce wild caught frozen lobster tails at Aldi for New Year’s Eve and had so many other things to use up I didn’t cook them.

It was a bit of work to get them out of the shells and ready for the oven. I topped/stuffed them with seasoned buttered cracker crumbs and baked them at 450f for 12 minutes.

They were good but IMO shrimp or a fish fillet would have been a better value for a home cook.
