What's for Dinner?

Ozarkgal said:
Yesterday I stuffed a whole chicken with lots of garlic, butter and spices under the skin and roasted it beer can style over the campfire. When it was almost done I cut it in half and slathered half with bbq sauce, wrapped it in foil to finish and eat tonight. The other half was served with dressing, gravy and a broccoli medley steamed over the camp fire as well. Love that camp fire cooking, and this is the time of year for it!

Thank you Seabreeze, Katybug and Ozarkgal for the kind words! We truly enjoyed our steak dinner. I have to say my man is the King of the Grill when he cooks, lol.
Katybug, you really should try those onions and mushrooms on a steak. I don't eat mushrooms but LOVE the caramelized onions. Tony wraps the mushrooms up in foil and puts button on them, then puts them on the grill with the steaks. I'll admit they do smell good.
Ozarkgal, we also do beer but chickens, and those are delicious!
Seabreeze...you must love the ocean and anything about it like I do!

Funny you should mention the onions & mushrooms on steak, as our supper club is having a "bring your own meat" cookout next week. We can't have a grill here at the condos unless you go to the pool. It's closed for the season, and anyway it's a PIA using the elevator back and forth. So if I'm craving steak it's off to a restaurant. I don't eat a lot of beef, but when I do I want it to be special, and can't wait to try this. Thx for the suggestion.
 

Today for supper I took out of the freezer 2 lovely chicken breasts with the bone in but skinned..
I will dry marinate them and bake them in the oven with carrots, mini potatoes, celery, onions, and some sliced Turkey sausage.. I will add some white wine to the pan..

I have loads of broccoli that I will steam some and serve with a sesame garlic sauce..

I will be trying that cake concoction using crushed pineapple and angel food cake mix..

Breakfast; Bagel sliced with the hole made bigger and a fried egg in the middle..
Lunch............ Why do I ever bother to mention it ??????
 
Last night I made sweet and sour sirloin pork chops and fried rice. I made a big wok full of rice since Mr. O requested leftovers. When dinner was over there wasn't a grain of that rice left, everyone ate like little piggies.

Tonight, it's steaks with a stir fry of zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, mushrooms, red peppers and onions done on the campfire, with a few cold brewskies while we're cooking. T-bones for the guys and a New York for me.

This daylight savings thing is cramping my style for cooking outside..it gets dark way too early!

Katybug..that supper club thing sounds like fun. More details please. How did it get started, do you rotate going to each others places, etc.?

Steve, your Italian meal sounds wonderful. Hubby is Italian and he has to have a spaghetti fix every so often to keep the oregano in his system.:playful:
 
Since it's so chilly today, i'm planning on making a pot of beef stew for supper tonight, pure comfort, warm yer belly kinda food, lol.
We picked the last of the turnip greens from the garden yesterday, got them all cleaned and cut up, so this morning i'm going to blanch and get them in the freezer.
 
Roast chicken with baked spuds and fresh streamed carrots.

Then we boil what's left of the chicken with chopped celery and onions and bay leaves. After about an hour take the chicken out, strip it from the bones and make soup tomorrow with lots of veggies and rice and then eat that for about 3 days.

Anymore about the only way we can cut back on expenses is to stretch out the food budget as much as possible.
 
Nachos tonight.with some light beer to wash them down...Mr. O does a great job on these and it's been a while since we had them. I was busy grooming the Gangstas today, and didn't plan anything for dinner..It was a nice treat, and he even did the dishes.
 
Tonight I made another one of my experimental concoctions using Turkey sausage filling and onions, garlic, mushrooms, celery and cooked in a red wine sauce..
Served over a bed of spiral pasta..

Please don't ask but it was a total success.. We both had seconds...

Breakfast was a scrambled egg on a toasted bun..
Lunch.. Why do I post that ???
 
For supper tomorrow night, I took out of the freezer one large chicken breast that I will cube and make a stir fry in the wok......
Onions, garlic, mushrooms, celery, and broccoli will be the veggies...

Breakfast will be a sliced bagel with the hole made bigger and an egg in the middle...

I won't even mention the word "lunch" ......
 
Well, I don't have anything against lunch..
We get up at approx. 11:30am and till I get downstairs, make breakfast, and have our mug of coffee it is sometimes almost 1:00pm..

Supper is generally around the 6:00 to 6:30 mark which means eating lunch is unnecessary and we are not in the mood to eat, especially after a larger breakfast.......

That is why I keep on saying..... Lunch ??? Don't even mention it !!!!!!

For example, note the time I am posting this..
We are night owls, not early birds........
 
Gotcha...we get up early and have coffee, but no one likes to eat until around noon, so we end up having either a late breakfast or early lunch...I would love to be able to have an early dinner, say around 4:00 pm, but it always ends up to be around 6:30-7:00 pm...can't seem to get off that schedule from the working days.
 
Actually when we were in business, (in Montreal), we also had weird hours..
We had a "Video" movie rental shop and we opened at noon every day, and closed at 2:00am.. We did this for 7 long years.. Never a day off and we NEVER closed.. We were open 365 days a year and during the holidays season, (mid December till early Jan.) we were open 24/7..

That is most likely why we are still night owls.......
Besides we find that nothing important ever happens in the morning..

Why am I up at this hour ???
I went to the bathroom and I have trouble falling back asleep, so I came on here for a few minutes.. Back to bed till later !!!
 
This morning I had a sausage patty and an egg.

For lunch we had top sirloin steak, sweet potato,and sweet peas along with a prepackaged oriental mix salad.

I don't usually buy the packaged salads but this was very good.

For supper we usually just snack on whatever we can find. cereal, cheese & crackers, popcorn,etc.

I've had that Oriental Salad mix, RK, thought it was very good. Smart to have your big meal at lunch!
 
I had the left over fried flounder, baked potato and slaw from lunch. I always treat myself to lunch at this family diner when I have a dr's appt and end up getting two meals out of it. I know you've already discovered it's 100% better to warm up most things in the oven/toaster oven, as the microwave totally ruins the texture.
