What's for dinner tonight???
Thanks to Banana Monkey for the resurgence of this thread, I'd like to keep this going. Tonight I am making cod with miso broth, leeks and shitake--got this yummy dinner suggestion right from yesterday's "The Come back Gator Pam" thread....I love to read what people are making for dinner as it gives me some great ideas if not for that day but another day....Most everyone has great dinner suggestions or innovative food ideas ...
@Sugartoast---thank you for my dinner tonight!

Interestingly, I made French Onion Soup yesterday (for tonight) about 2 hours before the FOS post came up on SE. Just finished prepping the salad and croutons and grated gruyere. Should be good...I'm serving it in the same little Pfaltzgraff soup crocks my mom always did. : )

I'm going to grind some chuck and make burgers on really nice kaiser rolls I picked up. Chips and iced tea and for dessert the last of the angel cake I made on Sunday.
tapioca at 3:46PM on 09/23/09
Making a quesadilla with carnitas, pickled jalapenos, and a mix of shredded cheese and spices (cumin, oregano, garlic powder, cayenne).

Veggie and tofu fried rice

Roast chicken, braised cabbage, fresh baby carrots, Yukon gold potatoes and gravy - and, no, I do not eat like that every night! I am having company. Oh, I forgot, homemade brownies covered with chocolate chip and cappuccino ice cream. My blood sugar is already rising!
bareneed at 4:03PM on 09/23/09
It's been a crappy week here, so I'm going for warm comfort tonight, Tuna Casserole with some sauteed kale to go along with.
Alm25 at 4:18PM on 09/23/09
autumn veggie burgers and another batch of the squash and potato gratin.
joyyy at 4:19PM on 09/23/09
Sausage and cabbage soup, french rolls and coffee ice cream for dessert.
jenelope at 4:30PM on 09/23/09
We're going to try the curried honey chicken again tonight. No evil hotdogs will be testing our resolve.
BananaMonkey at 4:33PM on 09/23/09
@Joyyy: Can you tell me about your autumn veggie burgers?
I'm on a ton of deadlines, so tonight I'm getting lazy: grilled ham and cheese sandwiches with Trader Joe soup- I haven't decided which kind yet.
PumpkinBear at 4:36PM on 09/23/09
@PumpkinBear - I spied them in bittman's HtCEVegetarian last week and decided I must make them. Haven't looked at the recipe closely since then, but it's shredded sweet potato, can of cannellin beans, 2 cups cooked chard (from my garden!), and other ingredients I can't remember off the top of my head. Hopefully it will be good, I haven't really dabbled in veggie/bean burgers yet so this is my virgin run :P
joyyy at 4:49PM on 09/23/09
Mild Italian sausage hogies with homemade tomato sauce and shredded provolone.
finsbigfan at 4:51PM on 09/23/09
Flounder with shrimp sauce; white rice; steamed broccoli.

BLT's with chips and Sweet Basil and Olive Oil cupcakes (leftovers from my party this weekend)
Martini Me at 5:12PM on 09/23/09
@PumpkinBear-TraderJoe's Tomato Red Pepper soup is delicious-I also love the butternut squash soup and love to add a little cream of coconut & some edamame to it.....tastes really wonderful....
Italiancupcake at 5:13PM on 09/23/09
raw shaved zucchini tossed with arugula and chopped tomato, topped with fresh pesto.
laurelie at 5:17PM on 09/23/09
Cream of poblano soup, quesadillas, bacon-wrapped grilled dove, & gazpacho-inspired salad.
sathome at 5:25PM on 09/23/09
eggs in purgatory with crusty bread and salad.
tangledgray at 5:35PM on 09/23/09
@ Martini Me - cupcake recipe please
@sathome - poblano soup recipe please
I like this thread as well, gives me so many ideas!
erinlovestoeat at 6:02PM on 09/23/09
Oh, y'all are making me hungry.
Grilled chicken thighs (preseasoned and refrigerated to allow the seasonings to penetrate), rainbow chard, saute'd with garlic, red pepper flakes and a squeeze of lemon, brown rice pilaf (onion, chicken broth, splash of white wine, cremini mushrooms, chives, lemon thyme).
Now I'm REALLY hungry. ;oD
CJ McD at 6:19PM on 09/23/09
Unagi-stuffed onigiri! It was very tasty before class tonight :D
avaryne at 6:31PM on 09/23/09
Baked pork chops stuffed with cranberries, roasted veggies (onions, red potatoes, carrots, cauliflower) and dressing, with pan gravy
AliceBlue at 6:47PM on 09/23/09
Icky ziti (not like the delicious ziti on SE with the heavy cream) in the dining hall. And yes, the alternate meal was rigatoni with red sauce. And oh yes, lunch was pasta with white sauce, pasta with red sauce or the alternate meal choice-rigatoni with pasta. The side dish was rice. Great meal planning. Tomorrow I will make something so yummy it will be a shock and awe meal--at home!!
PoorOldMama at 7:30PM on 09/23/09
Shrimp with lemon, garlic and parsley over angel hair pasta. Some white wine to go with, probably chardonnay.
Amandarama at 7:42PM on 09/23/09
I picked one of my remaining tomatoes, which I sliced to top a burger. I am eating tomatoes twice a day while they last.
Suzzanne at 8:52PM on 09/23/09
@italiancupcake: how did it turn out ?!?!?!?!??!?! i really hope you like the cod as much as we do...
tonight it was just me & my girls. dh went to a baseball game, but i forgot we weren't eating en famille and went ahead and made a shepard's pie. used up our leftover mashed potatoes from weekend dinner party and didn't have to worry about sides because i have protein, carb, & vegetables all in one dish!
sugartoast at 9:08PM on 09/23/09
wow, it all sounds great.... everybody! we had a salad of the last of the cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden, some cauliflower with garlic and olive oil and a piece of steak that was grilled.... a few blue italian plums for dessert .... hate to see all these goodies go....
pooch at 9:12PM on 09/23/09
sweet potatoes baked with lemon juice, brown sugar, little bit of butter, cranberries and almonds + celery sticks and cream cheese.
yeah, why not.
Christina at 9:13PM on 09/23/09
Gosh, everything sounds so good. This is definitely the place to come for inspiration. We had farm fresh, scrambled eggs from our chickens, served on toasted bread with turkey bacon and O'Brien hash browns. It was yummy, we haven't had breakfast for supper in a long time. I even got an exra kiss from my husband for it.
LanaRae at 11:00PM on 09/23/09
i had a can of salmon packed in water, with salsa poured over the top and a couple of rye crisps. then some raspberries from the greenmarket. now i'm hungry again.
cybercita at 11:45PM on 09/23/09
Ooops. . .I did tonight's meal on tomorrow night's thread, so here it goes again.
My dad would wolf this down, probably because it was the only thing my mom cooked that he liked. Pan-fried pork chops, sauteed apples, mashed potatoes and canned cream-corn "gravy." Quick, easy, tasty, but geez, where's the eye-popping color?
betteirene at 11:58PM on 09/23/09
Lentils & rice with fried onions, sauteed spinach with cilantro and pine nuts, roasted butternut squash chunks drizzled with honey and dusted with cinnamon. For dessert, baked custard and cookies. I don't know what these cookies are called. You take prunes, cook them and puree, add toasted walnuts and fill cut out pie crust circles, gently squeezing three sides together but not closing completely, then bake 375 till crust is lightly browned. They're good and there is no sugar added. The dried prunes are so sweet you don't need it.
angelfood at 3:37PM on 09/24/09

@sugartoast--the cod was deeeeee-lish!..definately will become part of the meal rotation..thanks again for the idea & recipe..:o)

amish friendship soup my sister gave me.
i learned why its called friendship soup... you need to have people to share it with as the ingredients grow to drastic amounts of soup. you can barely notice we had some last night!
blizcheetah at 9:47AM on 09/25/09
Thanks Martini - Basil is my favorite herb, never would have thought to incorporate into a sweet. Yay!
