What did you cook today?

Your mentioning pizza made me want pizza now

 

A big breakfast

 

Last night I made a giant pot of spaghetti and meatballs for everyone in the house. Today I made myself scrambled eggs with peppers and onions.

 

Last night was roast beef with gravy, Yorkshire puddings, mashed garlic taters, yellow beans, asparagus, cucumber and dill salad and a tomato plate with grilled halloumi cheese. My sister and mom came over and it was their request. Since we only had it week ago it was not something I had planned on making but they are both living alone so a roast beef is not something they make for one.

It was good though.

 

I made beef short ribs with a red wine sauce and served over garlic mashed potatoes. Started off with some Chardonnay and Camembert on wheat crackers while the potatoes cooked, then stuffed myself full with dinner and a glass of Cabernet. I was too stuffed for dessert but I made room for a couple little dark chocolate-covered orange jellies. I'm not sure what the occasion was, but I'm totally okay with "just because" at the moment. *yawn*

Last night I made my chicken burgers. I use extra lean ground chicken, Dijon mustard, rosemary and parm in them. Did fixing to dress them with and tater wedges lightly cooked with some paprika and a little cayenne.


For lunch today my tummy was a little off so I went with some comfort food, grilled cheese and tomato soup.

 

halibut tacos

 

Pasta with onion and purslane. For years I have treated purslane as a weed until last year when I read on FB that you can eat it.

 

I have a Venison Stew cooking in the oven. Tonight I have a friend coming over for dinner.

 

I chopped up all the veggies for a crock pot chilli. I won't cook it until tomorrow though. I wanted every thing ready to go in before work tomorrow.

 

Nothing better than walking in the door and supper is almost ready and the house smells great.

 

Oops, posted the wrong thing in the wrong thread!

Today, I'm making hot dogs loaded with coleslaw and red potato wedges with a side of mixed fermented veggies.

 

The crock pot chilli turned out really good! I might use that method more often in the future.

 

I'm making pork ribs in the tajine for dinner. They've been cooking for the last 3 hours, the house smells divine! I threw in some Caribbean sweet potatoes afterward and of course there will be a side of fermented veggies. I think I'll have some of the squash today. The jar is almost gone. :-(

 

I had to look that up and now that I have I know I have had it and had no idea what it was. How neat is that!!

 

I marinated beef sirloin strips in red wine, garlic and montreal steak spice. Then chopped onion, celery and seared the meat with those in a pot. Added in beef broth and simmered it for an hour. Then added frozen french green beans until they were done. Thickened it with a little cornstarch. Served over jasmine rice with a kale salad and fresh rolls.

 

I shouldn't look at this thread while I'm at work.

I better get my sweet potato in the microwave before I chew my hand off.

 

I cooked meatloaf two days ago. We've been eating it with baked potatoes.

I have to cook tomorrow but I don't have an idea what.

 

I cooked a big ham, in Coke, stewed cabbage, and heated up the Stouffer's Mac & Cheese.
