Whats for dinner?

[BarredBuff]

We're having grilled catfish, steak, and shrimp tonight. I dunno how it's gonna turn out, but it sounds good. I picked some fresh green beans from the garden, and am making potato salad, and a yellow cake to go with. Almost all new recipes....hoping it turns out well

One of our favorites is homemade pizza, and hotwings, with jalapeno poppers on the side.

Then there is the ever popular Shepherd's Pie. Or squash casserole, or spaghetti, or good old beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread, with maybe some fried okra too, or fried chicken.

Crap.....I'm hungry!!

Ummmm thats sounds good! We are having homemade pizza tonight and I am anxiously looking forward to it

Sounds good BB, I will definitely be saving the baked spaghetti to my recipe file. The family will love it. Potato salad sounds good, it's been a while since I made any.

Tonight is Chicken Pot Pie, we had Roast Chicken on Sunday night after which I pulled the leftover meat off the bones and made chicken stock by simmering the bones in water for several hours with an onion and some carrots.

Chicken Pot Pie

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped/cubed
2 cups chicken stock
1 onion, chopped
Rosemary, salt & pepper to taste
2 cups mixed veggies (tonight we'll have carrots, parsnips, peas, corn)
4 potatoes, cubed

Bake in casserole dish (no lid!) until hot and bubbly and veggies are starting to get tender, stir in ~1 tbsp flour to thicken, cover with pastry or biscuit/dumpling top and bake till golden.

Tonight we'll do biscuits because they are faster than rolling out pastry--just mix up and drop by spoonfuls to cover top of casserole dish.

Buff I do that spaghetti bake too, except I just mix everything up together(sauce & pasta), and then add a LOT of cheese on top, and sometimes some breadcrumbs to the top of that. The second day is really good! I love it!

I'm not doing green beans, grilled asparagus instead....forgot I had that..

I have the cake done, and the fish marinating in the seasonings. The eggs are boiled, just gotta peel those, and cook the taters, and get everything together for the potato salad. I have made a royal mess of the kitchen today

WBF, do you make your own poppers? Golly, I'd love to make some homemade ones... They're expensive in the store!

Yeah. I just made a sour cream/shredded cheese filling and rolled them in breadcrumbs and froze them They are DELIICIOUS

We ended up doing taco/burritos for dinner.
Nothing new but it was good.

I just made spaghetti from scratch. Got my pasta machine yesterday and had to try it.

I cooked tonight. A simple meal, but satisfying. My wife approved.

Baked sockeye salmon from the Fraser River. We cut them into steaks last summer and froze a lot. I thawed it, marinated it in a combination of maple syrup, Japanese-style soy sauce, and olive oil.

Also baked French fingerling potatoes (we grow them).

Garden salad - mixed-varieties lettuce, sliced red onion, sliced tomato, grated cucumber.

Here's an old recipe my mom used to make. We just call it Hamburger Pie. Very basic and wholesome tasting

1 lb ground beef
2 largish potatoes, peeled
1/2 head cabbage
2 medium onions
4 carrots
1 can Campbells tomato soup, or two, if stretching

Make very thin patties out of the ground beef. Slice vegetables thin so you can layer them. Place layers of each veggie and ground beef in a large casserole pan, 9x13. I do two rounds of layers: start with potatoes, cabbage, meat, onions, carrots, Repeat. Salt and pepper a couple of times between the layers. Pour tomato soup over it all, and cover with foil. Bake in 350 oven till done, about 75 minutes. I like it to be "overdone" so the flavors meld. This actually tasts better the next day, and the next.
I generally stretch this out by adding a few more veggies, and make a smaller pan with it too, and use 2 cans of tomato soup. We eat the smaller pan the first night, then the big pan we eat for leftovers.
Also, if I plan ahead, I will shape the patties out the day before and freeze them. They need to be very thin for best results.
