I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Just last night, I had the italian tuna in olive oil out of the can with a squeeze of lemon juice and some cracked pepper. Yummm. When I was little I would eat spaghetti-os from the can.... Haven't had them in years but I bet I would still prefer them cold.

Dinner Tonight: Orecchiette with Broccoli, Anchovies, and Chiles
that's funny, I happen to be making the cauliflower, bacon and orecchiette tonight for the first time since it was originally posted... yum!
"...and the chicken tastes like wood."
- Buy the chicken with skin and bone attached and remove the skin and bone after cooking but before serving to hubby. You, on the other hand, can enjoy the good stuff!
this was going to be my suggestion. The bone adds way more flavor, and the skin acts as a juice shield.

my resolution is to really appreciate everything I eat instead of stuffing my face with whatever is nearby.
What do you do with Spaghetti Squash?
mix it with meat sauce like the recipe here: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2008/09/squash-gnocchi-with-meat-sauce-recipe.html

So, What Did You Make?
Wednseday night, I cooked with friends. We made:
Roast Pheasant
Brussels sprouts braised in cream
cornbread & sage stuffing
creamed spinach
scalloped potatoes.
Then on actual Turkey day, I went to family friends and had a more traditional spread. It was a lot of fun doing this because I got to experiment a bit on Wednesday night, but still got to enjoy all my favorites on Thanksgiving (and of course make my famous sweet potato casserole like grandma used to make).
Measure the oven FIRST
that's funny, this same thing happened to me last night. Luckily, I was only roasting pumpkins so I could just put them on greased aluminum foil.

this is an odd one. My grandma used to make me a bowl full of fruit, say blueberries, bananas, maybe strawberries, mixed with sour cream and lots of sugar. I still dream about that rich, sour yet sweet, creamy concoction. I haven't had it in years but I am not opposed to the idea...

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts With Bacon
Dinner Tonight: Orecchiette with Cauliflower, Bacon, and Breadcrumbs
oh, I remembered another modification. I did throw about 2 tbs of butter in there as well. And I'd do it again! :p
Dinner Tonight: Orecchiette with Cauliflower, Bacon, and Breadcrumbs
DOOD. yum!!! My only modification was a parsley garnish. So delicious. I think I might slice he garlic rather than mince, because the garlic ended up caramelziing too, and I think slices would be a tad bit mellower. Will definitely make this regularly. My friends were in shovel food in your face mode.

In the summertime, it's my guacamole. MY recipe is very simple, only about 8 ingredients, but I think I have the balance of flavors down pat. This time of year, My sweet potato casserole! Yes, it's the deal with the pineapple and marshmallows and all that good stuff, but I have a few secret ingredients and everyone seems to love it.
The perfect BLT
I love a BLT, but I also have to give love to the TLT: [smoked] Tempeh, lettuce and tomato. delicious!!

Spaghetti with meatballs and chunks of Italian sausage in a smooth garlicky red sauce, caesar salad with homemade garlic croutons, warm crusty Italian bread with butter, a nice barolo, and lemon cheesecake for dessert.

fajitas, hands down.

Layer sauerkraut in a casserole dish, place pork chops on top and season (I use cracked black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika), cover with lid or seal with foil, bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to make mashed potatoes with it, but have also just done steamed veggies on the side.

We called it "chicken and glop", but it was chicken and rice. How did my mother put up with us?

It depends on the weather for me, but at this time of year it's roast chicken, mashed potatoes, peas (homegrown, please; frozen peas from the store are inevitably overripe), green salad, and pie.

My favorite family dinner would have to be posole. We have it every christmas eve with fresh tamales and it is sooo good.

Gosh, my favorite family dinner!? That's hard . My family is full of great cooks so I guess it has more to do with the atmosphere. So then I would have to go with Christmas eve dinner. 14 cousins plus 16 Aunts and Uncles all eating and drinking and being merry. Usually there's a goose (which doesn't hurt) and floating islands for desert. super yummm, it warms my heart just to think about it.

Boring but comforting - an overly stuffed tuna salad sandwich, on wonderful crusty rye bread, a slight smear of mayo, crisp iceberg lettuce, juicy tomato, cut in half please.

Irish Coddle. A big pot, almost stew but with not quite enough liquid, of potatoes, bacon, sausage and onion. Gets you fattened up for hibernation season.

Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
One of my favorite family meals is banh xeo. They're savory, yellow crepes and having all sorts of people in my family through marriage, some being born in Vietnam, some being born here, etc., my mom gets a lot of different requests as to what to put in them. First she makes the vegetarian kind for those folks then regular Americanized ones then the hardcore ones.
