Question of the Day: What are you cooking this weekend?

26 Comments:

I have this bottle of Thai Curry Sauce that I've been looking forward to opening, I might give this a try tonight with some chicken and veggies!

Tex-Mex Fiesta! Tortilla soup, enchiladas, Mexican rice, salsa, guacamole, and margaritas (plus a red velvet birthday cake for my displaced Texan gf this is all for). Oh and does stuffing a piƱata count as cooking?

I never look much beyond the coming dinner, but tonight will be mashed potato-pork patties fried until crisp on the outside, creamy in the middle, served with applesauce (perhaps with a touch of horseradish) and a vegetable to be named later. I don't know about Saturday or Sunday, since I shop every day,except Friday, which has turned into being creative with leftovers (if we've got 'em) day!

My neighbor gave me a yucca and instructions to "peel it, cut it into chunks, boil the crap out of it, remove the cord then toss with salt, pepper and olive oil." I've never cooked yucca before so I'm looking forward to this experiment. I'm also going to prepare Mark Bittman's NYT chocolate pudding from a few weeks ago (I've already made the vanilla and it rocked!)

I'm going to make the Cook's Illustrated chocolate chip cookie recipe referenced in the comments of this megnut post. This weekend definitely calls for cookies. (While I recommend you subscribe to Cook's Illustrated, here's the recipe.)

MLT fresh yucca can get mealy and it is rather tasteless. A quick suggestion would be a flavorful salsa verde to put atop the yucca. The texture of yucca is wonderful but it needs a little kick in the flavor department

Chocolate sheet cake. I like to have a dessert to eat on all weekend. My family loves it.

Choucroute garnie!! I love to cook hearty winter fare and spring is about to appear, so this will possibly be my final big winter dish.

Pizza I think. Gotta crank this oven up.

A pyramid plate of Mom's chicken cutlets alla Milanese are being dropped off today, as we speak. She's the best...

Boston Cream Pie.

I rarely cook on the weekends. The usual exception is breakfast which lately seems to be different versions of whole-wheat/fruit combo muffins. It's become a game to see how little fat, sugar and white flour I can use to make them and still be enjoyable. Then, when we're finished with that we devour hamburgers and french fries for lunch and fried calamari and other such lovely things for dinner! Oh yeah, martinis and dessert too!

I'm not doing much cooking at all this week-end...sorry! Hubby is away on an Air Force Reserve trip, and I'm heading to my sister's for pizza tonight. Tomorrow I plan on eating somewhere other than home...so I'll probably throw some chicken on the grill Sunday when he returns...if this beautiful spring Buffalo weather holds out! :-)
I do have some killer Maple Chipotle BBQ sauce from Stonewall Farms that I think I'll put on the chicken. I make my own BBQ sauce often, but I like to keep a bottle in the cupboard for those lazy times! lol

Tonight it'll be some quinoa with toasted spinach leaves and cremini mushrooms with some sort of tahini/lemon/chili paste business for the topper, oh and these kickass chocolate souffles for dessert. Brunch at home tomorrow (red pepper omelete, Portuguese bread and coffee) and dinner on the town...I love brunch.

Shellfish! There's a sale on mussels and clams and I can't wait :} Get a nice loaf of crusty bread to soak up the sauce, a good bottle of wine, and it's the perfect food for a rainy day!

Dinner tonight was boneless, skinless chicken breasts that were dredged in a mixture of flour and grated parmesan and then cooked in a pan coated with olive oil for about five minutes per side. After they came out of the pan I sauteed some chopped onion, quartered grape tomatoes, minced garlic, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper and oregano. That was served atop the chicken breasts with steamed green beans on the side. The chicken recipe was in a recent Cooking Light and turned out great. I think we might even have it again tomorrow. Sunday we're going to Mama's On the Half Shell in Canton. Can't wait. Oyster Po' Boy here I come!

Looks like mostly eating out this weekend. Mostly for Socializing. As I delve deeper and deeper into cooking I enjoy eating out less and less. If I lived in a big city where I had more choices I would love it but as it stands it's mostly chain resturants here (GAG!) I am hoping to at least get a decent steak !

I made a fish stock last week and have so far used it to make seafood soup and a grilled seabass in Acqua Pazza that were both great. I need to use up the rest of the stock this weekend. http://anythinggoodcooking.blogspot.com/

Trying to use up pasta, bread, etc. in the house before Passover, so I came up with this recipe for pasta with lemon, olive oil, and fresh basil: http://recipesatrandom.blogspot.com/2007/03/pasta-with-lemon-olive-and-fresh-basil.html

Crispy fried chicken and buttermilk-dill mashed potatoes. It's spring here, time for a picnic.

We went down to the chesapeake bay today for some crabs. They were not a bad size and very good. Tomorrow my in laws arrive. I have been to Wegman's so I am fully prepared to without any preplanning just wing dinner. I will see how I feel tomorrow.

I'm getting all mad scientist with bread today. It's in the oven now but it's growing...alive...IT"S ALIVE!!!!

I made cinnamon raisin english muffin bread and I have a pot roast in the oven right now! I love Sunday cooking.

I made Taiwanese beef noodle soup (Goo bah mee)- made with short ribs, buckwheat udon noodles and spinach. A nice little kick from spicy peppers, and great flavor with star anise, dried tangerine peel, ginger....

made blueberry muffins yesterday. wanted to make blueberry coffee cake, but didn't have a tube pan. found one today on the streets of brooklyn for $3! coffee cake, here i come! any must-try recipes out there?
