What's for Dinner?

Tomorrow is Christmas. We were going to my son's for Christmas dinner but two of them have caught a bug, so we're staying home. What'll we have to dine on? Warmed over oven pasta, pinto beans with ham mock, a baguette bread, I don't know. Nothing sounds good. I'd as soon have summer sausage with the baguette or a can of spam.
 
Aaarrrh geeze Drifter that's a tough break. But look on the bright side, you have company and 'peace on earth' at least.

My Granddad was 'on the road' looking for work in 1915 and his Xmas Dinner that year was a cheese sandwich he'd scrounged from a farmhouse kitchen. He got married in 1916 and said that cheese sandwich under a tree on the riverbank was the most peaceful Christmas he ever had.
 

Merry Christmas, Drifter...Christmas is just a day..you'll have another day when everyone is feeling better. I had to laugh at your Spam comment. Spam is kind of like fruitcake..I've never known anyone that admits to liking either one, but they sure sell the hell out of them:playful:..For the record, I admit to liking both..LOL

Keep warm and enjoy your day!
 
Crablegs with hot butter/cocktail sauce, French bread on the side.

Mmmmm...my favorite meal, but don't get it anymore..hubby developed a shellfish allergy a few years ago and almost bought the farm..out of concern for him I don't bring it around...plus, getting good seafood in these neck of the woods would be like drilling for water in the Mohave desert.
 
Tonight we're having sea scallops and shrimp, sautéed in olive oil with red peppers and crushed garlic, served over whole wheat spaghetti. We're having kind of a seafood week here, lol. Sorry your hubby has an allergy like that OG, wish you could pop over and have dinner with us! ;)
 
Oh, you're killing me here, SB..drool..sea scallops..I just made some chicken enchiladas in sour creme sauce...how about we trade? What's for dinner tomorrow...damned, I gave my pilot the holidays off!
 
Nothun personal meant db.:lol:

OG we have sea food in Arkansas. Crawdads are plentiful.So are mussels if you want to eat them. Crappie,bass,catfish, bluegill,sauger,walleye,goggle eye,.....we got lots of seafood.
 
Talking about sea food, My doctor told me (years ago) to go on a sea food diet..
That is exactly what I did.. I would see food and eat it !!!!!!!

OK ............ OK .......... Now for some seriousness ......

For tonight, I took out of the freezer a large B/S chicken breast..
I will cube it and marinate it in some dry garlic sauce..

I have a large bag of broccoli as well as some cauliflower, celery, carrots, onions, garlic, and yellow pepper..
I think a stir fry is in order !!!!

Now, I just happen to be out of brown rice (the only rice I use), so a small pasta might have to do ..... Mini spirals should do it..

Breakfast;.. omelette on some toast..
Lunch;.. Crackers with hard cheese for Princess and nothing for me..
 
Meatloaf made with stove top stuffing..
Take one pound of minced chicken.. Add one box of chicken stove top stuffing, one egg, one cup of stock, herbs and spices, mix well..
Place in a loaf pan and bake at 375 till top is golden and the sides pull away a bit.....

Served with a salad on the side..
 
Tonight I made B/S chicken thighs in a honey garlic (VH) sauce on the stove top..
Brown rice.. I make my rice with stock instead of water...
Steamed fresh carrots...


Breakfast was scrambled eggs on 12 grain toast for Princess and a bowl of shredded wheat for me..

Lunch... Nothing for me and a sandwich for my Princess..
Snacks for Princess... Crackers with hummus...
 
Just a quick update on my Princess (Annmarie) diabetes situation..
Of course she is still taking her insulin as she is supposed to.. Her numbers are coming down to almost a normal situation..
She feels much better with loads of energy.. We go out for walks (weather permitting) for just over half an hour..

We know this disease is for life, but we don't have to give up living just because she is a diabetic.....

I try to feed her healthy, smaller meals, and snacks during the day....
The plate is half veggies, 1/4 protein and 1/4 starch....
 
Got to go to the Chinese buffet for an early dinner today while we were in the big city..well, the biggest city around here. Thoroughly enjoyed and didn't have to do the dishes.

Rkunsaw..found some small fruitcakes marked down at the bakery store. Haven't had any for years, so the devil got the best of me and I bought two..eat one now and freeze one for later. Think I'll wrap them in a rum or whiskey soaked rag for a while. On second thought, maybe I'll just eat the cake and wash it down with the whiskey..LOL
