What's for dinner ( or lunch )

Last night-2 slices of deli corned beef, fries and the same old salad I always have.

I think tonight I'm going to order pizza delivery from a local place that's pretty good. Not New Haven, but not too bad.

Oh, I looked up Funeral Potatoes @Lee, as I never heard of them either. Apparently the dish began in Utah, and while it seems unhealthy, I could eat a whole pan!
 
Cold and rainy here in the Southern US.... Got a fridge that needs cleaned out.... whats a guy to do...
Drag out the big Instant Pot...
Saute up some Onions, Shallots and Garlic.
Add a can on cream of Mushroom and a Qt of homemade veggie broth..
Fridge leftovers.. Grilled corn and squash, some rice and carrots, green beans.. Roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary..
Some fresh celery and a bag of mixed veggies from the freezer....
Chopped up the smoked chicken breasts from the other night...
Stir in a collection of spices.... A few sprinkles of flour for body...
Sitting on low simmer for a few hours waiting on the DW to get home...

R.Rose also looked up funeral potatoes aka Party Potatoes, often served at large gatherings hence the name.

Whatever you want to call them they sure sound good.

Yup!

I would have posted a recipe Lee, but there were several variants.

For the topping, I'd go for the butter-soaked crushed potato chips and parm cheese rather than the corn flakes.

And to think, when my mother put out potato chips, she lined the basket with napkins to absorb the excess oil, LOL!
 
I can't make up my mind...do I have Cod fish in tempura batter and broccoli,, or do I have rump steak and mushrooms... or do I have a jacket potao with
Tuna and mayo ? ...it's almost dinner time so I have to hurry up and make up my mind... :D
 
Tortellini from Costco and I'll toss in whatever leftover bits and pieces are in the fridge, heat it up and toss in some olive oil and Parmesan....easy peasy.
 
I fixed a small pot of beans for lunch using a can of cannellini beans, celery, onion, garlic, carrot, and a little diced ham simmered for about 15 minutes. I'll nuke the leftovers for another quick meal later in the week.

I'm still full so it will probably be a bowl of cereal with a splash of almond milk for supper.
 
Glad the Funeral Potatoes mystery was solved. :D

Today we are having beef and bean tostadas with lots of cheese, lettuce and tomato on top. Cold beer, too!

Fattening comfort food!

This morning I made a small casserole of ACS aka American Chop Suey, Slumgullion, goulash.

I'll serve some celery and carrot sticks as an appetizer to ease my guilt over all of the fat and carbs.

In Central Ohio, there are two names for it: goulash and Johnny Marzetti :) So now you can add one more. I've never heard it called American Chop Suey, so that's a new one for me :)
 
The discussion of canned chicken gave me an unpleasant flashback to the whole canned chickens that my mother kept on the emergency shelf. I still shudder at the thought.

I have a great big pork loin that I will dismember into an oven roast for tonight, butterfly chops for the freezer and the rest of it for chucks for soup or whatever.

Those roasts are a bargain of good eating.
