What are You Cooking Today?

[alac1980]

we're having a slow cooked roast (cheap cut) along with baked potatoes and carrots. affordable and easy, which is fantastic since i'm working night shift tonight!

We're having chicken tacos! The chicken is cooking in a slow cooker. It will be served with a mango salsa, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. Yummmmm.

It is Saturday, we are going out! It will be inexpensive and probably a restaurant that has a loyalty program. In addition, I will earn frequent flier miles on my purchase.

Tonight, I'm going to cook up some white rice, heat up some black beans and add a little bit of ground beef cooked with seasoned salt. And finally the magic touch: copious amounts of siracha and soy sauce! So simple yet so tasty.

Beef Stroganoff over rice, yet another plan over from leftover slices of yesterday's company Rump Roast. Heated in a home made mushroom sauce enhanced with a few tablespoons of sour creme, crisp chef salad and mixed veggies. Lemon loaf with/without ice cream for afters.

It's remarkable...if you give a $10. name to leftovers it's accepted as a totally different meal even though our guests yesterday enjoyed roast beef, bechamel, jeweled rice, cucumber salad, saute sweet pepper and Lemon Pound cake.

Ive found a reciepe for beans on toast it sounded so delicious that I thought Id give it a try.
I think it will make a great change from Pot Noodle.

Friday dinner is Buffet Nite, the fridge is cleared of leftovers and everyone chooses what they want to eat. There is fresh pita bread as a base for anyone creating their personal designed pizza with a tomato base, ham, bacon, strip steak, lamb, hot dogs, veggie sticks, pineapple, fruit salad, 3 types of cheese and salad makings. Everyone has a different schedule and DKs often bring friends. I made Brownies this AM and there is ice cream for support.

We are expecting a major storm this evening so it will be cold. I plan to try-out a new gift, a Mandolin to slice root veggies and make crock pot stew

I found a half eaten kebab in the bottom of the freezer. I think I'll cover it with grated cheese and put it in the microwave.
Yum Yum.

Leftover Chinese from last night. I'm at work and working a double shift today. So, some leftover Chinese is really my only option.

[LuckyRobin]

Quick Spanish Rice. Minute Rice made in the microwave and then dump in a jar of salsa and some leftover hamburger.

[LuckyRobin]

Leftover spaghetti and homemade sauce from earlier in the week. And a new batch of homemade meatballs.

[scotland]

I have found a tin in the back of the pantry with no label.
I opened it and it looked like meat.
Im cooking it now it smells really bad.
Ive found a dry crust but Ive no butter.
Yum Yum.

We are having Chinese Chicken Salad since it is very hot (90+ degrees) out.

While i planned to make linguini in clam sauce, DH thought it too hot for pasta so grabbed some frozen chicken thighs from the freezer early AM, defrosted in microwave while I 1st soaked dried mushrooms in boiling water as base for the marinade for Chinese style hot pot. By 5:00 PM rice in rice cooker, chicken cooks in 1/2 marinade while cornstarch thickens the 2nd half for use as sauce at table. Home grown green beans blanched with spears of red, yellow, orange sweet peppers will support the re constituted giant mushrooms.

My neighbor was here for coffee this AM and brought a batch of giant Smarties cookies. These were her 1st attempt at over-sized cookies. Tasted good but uneven thicknesses. She borrowed my biscuit cutter and hoped it would help for batch #2.

Still hot in southern California, so we had a taco salad. So good, we use ground turkey instead of ground beef.

[LuckyRobin]

Trying a new stir-fry recipe tonight for Chinese Broccoli Beef. Should be an interesting experience.

[LuckyRobin]

Homemade blueberry cornbread muffins, oven baked chicken, fried potatoes and green beans.

[krantcents]

Nothing, it is Friday! We are going out to an inexpensive burger/chicken place.

[LuckyRobin]

From scratch chicken enchiladas, cherries, and leftover cole slaw.

Guests for dinner create opportunity to bake leg of lamb gifted from a neighbor who only eats lamb chops [her DH bought lamb cut due to lower cost per serving], baked potatoes, layered salad, our garden grown green beans, mint jelly, strawberries on home made pound cake.

If there are leftovers, Tuesday's plan-over will be Moroccan Style crockpot stew as I don't have an earthenware Tajine. I'm hoping to send stew for two to neighbor who supplied the lamb in the hope she might try lamb presented differently.
