What's For Dinner?

[red]

I'm back

I also made rice croquettes. Which is really simple to make. I boiled some rice (about 2 cups) and once that was done, I placed in a colander in the refrigerator so that it would finish draining. The key is to remove as much moisture as possible.

Ok than I add 2 eggs, chopped parsley and basil, some Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (about 2-3 tablespoon), salt & pepper, and mix it all up. You may need to add some breadcrumbs to bind if it needs it (don't add too much).

p.s. you can also add some ham in the mix if you like.

mixture looks like this

separately, I get a plate with some breadcrumbs, which I will use to coat these heavenly concoctions

looks like this

than in the pan

then on a paper towel to drain.

and here's the chicken

tonight we're having pork meat tacos..i'm awful at seasoning so our meat man pre-seasons everything for a lil' extra cost

 

[MACATTAK]

Tonight it's stuffed chicken parmesean, salad, and garlic bread.

Today I'm making polenta

its the simplest thing to make, requires just water, some salt and corn meal (less than 1 lb)

Very simple, place water to boil with some salt, carefully pour the corn meal and stir with a wisk to make sure it doesn't lump up.

than switch to a wooden spoon, keeping it on a medium flame, and stir constantly for about 15/20 min.

once cooked, pour on a wooden board (I used my table) and spread to a thickness less than 1/2 in.

let that cool, then score

place in container or platter and place in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Great fried, or baked with tomato sauce & parmesan cheese on top.

thanks for looking

AHHHH this thread is making me hungry!!! The husband is making more steak tonight lol

 

[MACATTAK]

Tonight we are having taquitos! My mom and I do it together because it's a lot of work

 

[ShauntyXD]

So for dinner last night since its 1:33 am lol i had:
· corn chowder
· rice & veggies
· eggs w/ cheese
· maple fried beans
I'm obviously insane.
I usually eat a variety of everything everyone's cooked (we all cook our own dinner so everyone ends up eating completely different things at different times LMAO)

AND Red your family is so amazingly lucky!!! I don't eat meat, but all those dishes you've prepared look damn good!

[MACATTAK]

Tonight was chicken salad!

Mile high baked potato with broccoli, onion, and steak on top!

Pasta with Broccoli

it's a no-brainer, very tasty

Boil the fresh broccoli in salted water (you can use frozen broccoli) until well cooked (the broccoli has to be super tender)

after that's done, place some olive oil in a pan and saute lots of garlic

.. don't be afraid, garlic is a food of the Gods, than you add the broccoli and saute for about 5 minutes.

In the same water you cooked the broccoli, add the pasta (I like to use short pasta but any will do except spaghetti)

Once pasta is done, drain and pour back into the saute pan with the broccoli and cook for a minute or two, add some olive oil (just a bit) and parmesan cheese (you can add a few tablespoons of the pasta water if its too dry)

Voila' ... looks like this

naturally a nice wine does help

Looks delicious Red! You sure how to cook up some deliciousness!! Tonight we are just going to pick up something from a Mexican restaurant, as we don't have anything else planned.

Absolutely nothing.

I don't like eating breakfast, since I don't usually feel hungry til the afternoons, and I got lunch around 4 (Chipotle...vegetarian burrito and their tortilla chips). That filled me up well.
