What's for Dinner?

Went all 'fine dining' tonight. Crumbed lamb cutlet and microwaved spud with dollop cream, shallots and sweet chilli sauce dressing.

... c'mon, it was a lot better than it sounds.
 

Sounds excellent to me. I'm fond of lamb cutlets.
We used to have a butcher who called the crumbed variety "freckled chops".
When my daughter got married and moved to another suburb she asked for freckled chops and got a blank look.
After she explained what she meant he was very amused and from then on his were freckled chops too.
 
I never usually buy them crumbed, they're either 'off' or hogget and tough as old boots, but the butcher in Woopi does beooodiful ones.
 

For supper tonight I made salmon fillets..
First I marinated them in lemon pepper and dill, S&P....
Then I pan fried them in a sauce of butter, EVOO, & lemon juice...
Fresh cut parsley, a pinch of paprika, a thin slice of fresh lemon (slashed and twisted) on top to present it well..
I made a sauce (Russian style) using mayo, ketchup, and some hot sauce to go over the fish..

Steamed mini potatoes served with parsley flakes in a buttery base..
Fresh green salad using yellow tomatoes..

Breakfast was an omelette with red onion served on a toasted bagel..
Lunch... Nothing as usual...

Oh then Katybug you would surely be impressed on all the ways I can boil water. I'm a klutz in the kitchen but I do envy Steve and his ability to cook. I will not show this thread to my wife. :hide:

I wouldn't show her Steve's post for sure. No need rubbing salt in the wound. LOL
 
Tonight I made an Italian supper..
Fettuccine in a white wine and mushroom sauce..
I spiked it to add some more veggies making it a one dish meal..

Princess loved it and told me the recipe was a keeper......

Breakfast; omelette w/cheese on a toasted bagel in the oven under the broiler, buttered..
Lunch... As usual, nothing !!!

We generally don't eat lunch as we get up late..
Today we got up at 11:30am and by the time we finished eating breakfast (brunch) it was almost 1:00pm.. We don't get up early at all.... EVER !!!
That is why we don't eat lunch....


Tomorrow night looks like a chicken night.. I have a yam that is calling me so I will do something with it as well..
 
Tonight for supper I made a Tuna casserole with a ton of veggies... I like those one dish meals..
There is always some left over for the next day to reheat..

Breakfast; omelette on a wrap with melted cheese..
Lunch.. As usual, nothing...


I still have that yam to use up tomorrow with some chicken breasts...
 
Mmmm Steve, sounds like you're preparing some nice meals. Yesterday we made some hot pastrami (Romanian) with onion and tomato on Challah bread. Today we used the left over bread, toasted it, and had some corned beef sandwiches. Quick, easy and tasty!
 
Gee Seabreeze..
The last time I had a real challah bread was in synagogue a few years ago (in Sudbury) when they had an Oneg Shabbat..

We come from Montreal where it is available all the time but up here in Northern Ontario, it is a real treat..

As far as Romania goes, my ancestors are Romanian, and that is why I still love and make a ..... mamaliga upon occasion.....

Yes, they come from the province of Transylvania in Northern (central) Romania....
 
By The Way :---
I am on a "low Carb Forum" that I have been very active on for a long time..
There was a "What Are We Eating" thread that I posted on almost daily with several other members as well.
The thread has gone very quiet and I ended up being the only one posting, so I decided to stop talking to myself and I am no longer posting on their forum......
Actually the entire forum has gone extremely quiet for some unkown reason..

So, if you don't mind, I will post on here as often as I can what I will make (or made) for supper, as well as the entire day's meals.........

Yes, I am on "low carb" and have been for years..
I have lost quite a bit of weight watching my carbs.. I am now down to my "goal" weight (perhaps a few pounds more wouldn't hurt) but I don't watch the carbs as much as I used to..

Originally I weighed 358 pounds.. That's right .!!!... 358 ... Now I am down to about the 220 pound mark.. That is about a 140 pound drop which I am mainting and have been for years..

OK, enough !!!!! Like I said, I will try to post my daily food but I don't come on the computer every day.. Whenever possible, I will be here !!!!!

A simple plan that I love RK,....wife cooks one day, hubby cooks the next. As nice as it sounds, I have never heard of another couple doing it that way. I think it's GREAT! Gives both of you a break.

CONGRATULATIONS, Steve! What an accomplishment and how proud you must be of yourself.

In the meantime, I suspect the "group" you were posting to got tired of doing without carbs and one by one faded back into their old habits. I'm speaking from experience, I can only do it for so long. It's painful after awhile, but absolutely one of the easiest ways to get the weight off....works perfectly for me and always gives immediate results. It's the sticking to it that's the really hard part after a couple months. Again, kudos to you and your continued dedication to your good health.

I'm glad you're posting your meals here, even if I don't post, I like to see what folks are having for dinner. Congratulations on your successful weight loss Steve, that's wonderful!! :clap: Carbs are the enemy, aren't they? You must feel sooo much better with the weight out of the way! :D

I went to a Jewish deli near where we live, haven't been there for years. Picked up the pastrami (fatty and shaped more like bacon), the corned beef, some bagels, smoked whitefish and Foxs U Bet chocolate syrup, to make homemade eggcreams...better than Hersheys.
 
Seabreeze...

WILL YOU STOP IT ALREADY !!!
You are making me extremely homesick and jealous for all those wonderful foods..
WOW !!! U Bet chocolate syrup !!! Absolutely the best........ EVER !!!

Bagels are available up here but they still are NO way near the real bagel.. Especially the ones from Montreal..

The other problem I have is I MUST watch the carbs.. Yes I can eat almost anything I want with limitations of course..

I have been on low carb for several years now (about12 years) and I really don't think about it any more.. Besides I am at the weight I feel comfortable at.. I have been holding this weight for the past 7 years, at least.. I have NO intentions of gaining any weight back.. Low carb has become a "way of life" for me..
 
Tonight I made chicken breasts cut into strips, breaded and broiled..
Served with a cherry, lemony sauce..
A fresh salad with some of our garden veggies..

Breakfast was an omelette..
Lunch.. I won't talk about it !!!!!

My wife does most of the cooking, Katybug. I cook at least one day per week or when I see a recipe I want to try. We try not to eat desserts too often but I cook most of them. If I had to cook every other day I'd soon run out of ideas. I don't know how you ladies do it.
 
My late husband loved to cook and he was really good, but one day he cooked something with chilli in it and it was way too hot, i suggested maybe only use 1/2 teaspoon instead of 1 teaspoon , oh no he said that's what the recipe says i have to put in haha, he made many delicious meals but OMG the mess in the kitchen was unbelievable, bless his little cotton socks, as i used to work in catering i always cleaned up as i went so there was no mess at the finish.
It was lovely coming home from work and finding dinner all ready to eat very special.
 
My husband likes to cook certain things, he does all barbeques, makes gumbo and certain other dishes. No set days on who cooks dinner, but we have a deal that the one who doesn't cook, cleans up...which is fine by me. Sometimes of course, either of us will do both if in the mood.

I've made plenty of cooking boo boos in my day, the 'bone in' lasagna, that my hubby still laughs about. I made a homemade sauce for my lasagna with beef neck bones, simmered them too long and the bones started coming apart...had to eat that lasagna as carefully as a wild fish, lol.

Then there was the lemon meringue pie mix, where I doubled the recipe except for the water...the tartness was incredible! :eek: The French toast that my husband said he could put straps on and use them for sandals. Then there was the green chili with pork that I went overboard with the jalapenos, it tasted really good, but too hot to eat!

All done in my younger and wilder days, and great for a chuckle even decades later. :eek:
 
Supper tonight was a stir fry in the wok.. Chicken breast cubed and marinated in a honey garlic sauce for a few hours.. Onions, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower and baby carrots all on a bed of linguini...

Breakfast was a wrap in a fry pan and eggs on top and under the broiler..
Lunch... XXXXXXXXX Hugs and kisses from my dear princess...
 
We have all made some boo boos in our days..
I am still trying out different things in the food department and often boob it...

One problem I have is trying to substitute ingredients I don't have when I am cooking..
When it calls for meat, I often use chicken instead..
 
Supper tonight (Sunday) was burgers on the BBQ.. Homemade using minced chicken..
They were super good and juicy..

Breakfast; I made princess an omelette while I had some shredded wheat..
Lunch.. Need I say ??? Nothing !!!!
