What's for dinner ( or lunch )

Lazy cabbage rolls with a side of unsweetened applesauce.

I got the idea from a cooking forum and adapted it to what I happened to have on hand.

1 package of prepared coleslaw mix
1 can of petite diced tomatoes
1/2 pound of ground beef
1/2 of a yellow onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 dilapidated old carrots from the back of the crisper drawer
Salt and pepper along with a few dashes of this and that.

I browned the beef with the onion and garlic, added the vegetables, and simmered it for approx. 15 minutes. Yield 3 large servings.

I think that it would be good served over a bed of white rice if you can handle the carbs. I may swing by the market today when I'm out and pick up a bag of riced cauliflower as a low carb substitute for the rice.

Hey - I have some of those occupying the same space in my fridge and they're in exactly the same condition!

This looks quite tasty, Aunt Bea. I have all the ingredients on hand, but since my diet is whole-food-plant-based* I'll sub tofu for ground beef and serve over brown rice.

*True confession: As a remnant from the birthday party on Saturday, I've got some magnificent specialty cupcake leftovers from a local cupcake bakery. They're wrapped up in the fridge to prevent them from going stale.

Each day, hubby and I each have a half cupcake. They are decidedly NOT WFPB, but so, so yummy!
 
Yesterday was a pasta salad that DD made ahead on Sunday night. Today is a casserole featuring pepperoni that she made ahead last night.

However, my stomach has been unhappy since Saturday. I start to feel better for a few hours, then :sick: again. I hope the "better for a few hours" happens at suppertime because I really like that casserole.
 
We're going out for lunch today..it's a beautiful sunny day so we can sit outside the pub... and we're taking this opportunity because we're being seriously threatened by Boris with another lockdown... :(..

I'll let you know what I had for lunch when I get back :giggle:
 
Today was a glorious sunny day, and we went to a favourite pub we haven't been to since before lockdown in March. Aside from the change of Entrance and Exit..(one way in one way out).. and the Track & Trace..everything went smoothly.., and in fact we were served much quicker than we would be pre covid... We sat in the rustic table garden area , and hubs had a super foods salad..while I couldn't possibly resist their famous Beef roast dinner.. yorkshire pudding, veggies, and roast potatoes...yummmmy!!
I total forgot to take pics of the food.. :D

@bowmore and I made a special holiday dinner last night for Rosh Hashanah

We prepared Potato Latkes with lox, sour cream and black caviar, along with vegetable and Matzo Ball Soup.
Traditional apple slices and honey for dessert.

Oh my, it was so tasty and BowmoreP9190072.JPGP9190077.JPG appreciated the holiday dinner so much. We had fun together in the kitchen.

I don't take pictures of food (unless it is exceptional and worthy of Michelin stars). I prefer to eat it. I've seen people taking pictures of things I'd be embarrassed to put on a plate.

I cooked sole stuffed with prawns and mushrooms, poached in white wine which is then thickened with cream and egg. There goes my diet!

Looks wonderful, I would really enjoy this supper!
 
@Kayelle, I often put ice in my wine. My dad was Italian and nearly always drank wine with dinner. The kids were welcome to have some (though we rarely did), and if so we had 1/4 wine, 3/4 water. Ice or no ice. Our choice. Wine was part of his heritage so it wasn't about being a purist. You drank it how you wanted it.

To this day, I frequently have 1/4 wine, 3/4 water or club soda. Plus ice. My drink, my body, my choice.

I didn't bother to take photos - perhaps I should have, but on Sunday night I made shrimp amaretto for my daughter and her fam (the six of us have committed to being in a bubble), and tofu amaretto for DH & I. Fortunately I made a full pound of tofu in addition to 1-1/2 pounds of shrimp, because DD's group loved the tofu as much as they did the shrimp.

I'd planned to make scampi that evening, but when looking at my (personal) cookbook I saw the amaretto version and realized I hadn't made it in at least 30 years (time sure slips away).

It was sooo good that I'm putting it back into occasional rotation and will probably add it to our Christmas menu. That's assuming I'll even need a Christmas menu, of course.

OHHH, I would dearly love your special recipe for shrimp amaretto!!
I'm thinking it would likely work in my 10 oz, individual casseroles I love using for the two of us. We love shrimp, Tofu not so much.
