What's for Dinner?

[Macabre]

I would mAke this either with just the veggies or use MSF crumbles.

Pulverized into a sauce. It was fabulous.

Becca that could work better in your situation, right?

Last night and today at lunch, pizzas we made (DH keeps a sour dough starter going all the time and makes bread a couple of times a week):

-Mushroom, feta, basil, spinach, garlic salt
-Tomato, spinach, feta, kalamatas
-Potato and "fried" egg

Not sure what you mean here?  I was wondering if I could use my Vitamix.  I find it easier than my processor if doing a sauce.  Processor better for a chop, but I usually just chop or slice by hand, most fo the time.  less cleanup.

Made a HUGE bowl of my Greek quinoa salad.  Missing the bell peppers( I like yellow or red or orange, not green).  I keep the olives and feta out as well, since dh does not like those.  Add those to my own serving. 

Need a week of clean eating after that vacation.  I did pretty well most nights, but in the parks, we are pretty stuck eating whatever.  And, well, it was a vacation, so I did enjoy a few ice cream cones, etc...  But we have another vacation next week!  Too close together, but that was how the availability of the places worked out for us.  At Cape Cod, we have a full kitchen, good sized fridge.  We will cook in and do our won lunches since we will mostly be beaching it and being lazy!  Maybe a day trip to P-Town, and one to the Vineyard.

I was referring to the picky eater situation.

With the Apple, pulverized veggies might be wonderfully hidden.

Oh, I see.  No way my kids would touch that dish at all, lol.  Nothing with a sauce or gravy.  Plain only.  They will eat a few plain veggies and ds also enjoys a simple romain salad with my homemade balsalmic dressing.

So far, I've made 2 salads for tonite:

A tarragon/dill potato salad (like an Ina Garten one):  potatoes, red onion, dill and tarragon -- herbs from my garden, mayo & olive oil and white wine vinegar & touch sugar.  Will let DH pick his own olives and add as kids don't care for olives (pity).  Garnished with dill flowers.  Pretty!


A traditional all-American potato salad:  potatoes, hard boiled eggs, celery, sweet pickle, Miracle Whip & mustard & sweet pickle juice, S&P, paprika.


Not sure what to do for third salad -- maybe broccoli/cauliflower with lite sour cream, raisins, and onion.  Anc bacon, of course!

Baked muffins really early, since it's so danged hot!  They are apricot - golden raisin muffins (lots of orange and lemon zest) -- taste a lot like the old McCall's recipe for light fruit cake, sans nuts!

Last night I made this  - http://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/7498-cuban-shredded-beef

OMG so good.

Tonight was supposed to be pulled pork in the crockpot but that has been pushed to tomorrow so we can do Maker's night.  We have a semi insane busy week.  Am excited!

I just finished making a shrimp and corn chowder.  And we are having linguini with basil cream sauce with roasted tomatoes (sauce from a jar for DS), with roasted seafood on top (shrimp, scallops and salmon--DD will have hers w/o seafood, and DS will just stick to the salmon, as he doesn't care for shellfish).

[Macabre]

Last night, DH made a veggie tart-like thing with zucchini, squash, asparagus and polenta.

Last taco night of the summer!  We postponed from Tuesday since all the cabins were on trips last night.

[Janelle205]

I really missed cooking while I was at camp.  I did cook all my own food there, but usually didn't have the time/energy for anything very complicated.

So...sort of huge country dinner tonight.  Roast turkey breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, cornbread, deviled eggs.

We'll be eating leftovers in various incarnations for the rest of the week.  I need to go pick up salad greens, dsd will be wanting a salad with leftover turkey breast for her lunch tomorrow.

Tater Tot Casserole - maybe Becca's DD would like to come for dinner
