Hmmm, what to make for dinner?

From the Alpert test kitchen , I hereby submit:

I'll take that!

 

Ken they have the perfect clear plastic jars on Amazon with black lids to use for spices. I originally bought them for my daughter to put her slime creations in. They even come with sticker labels to put on each one and they are super cheap. I use them for everything. Just look up slime containers as I think that’s how I searched for them.

I’ve currently got homemade yeast rolls rising, that I am making into pepperoni balls, for the kids after school snacks. I put pepperoni, provolone, and mozzarella in them. I also put sliced pepperoncini’s in some of them for me and Lucy. They never look too pretty after I construct and bake them, but they smell and taste delicious. I make such a mess brushing them with melted butter and milk before baking. I’ll post photos once my dough rises and I start making them.

 

A special lunch today!


RICHARD

 

They are so good!!!

 

I made cube steaks and onions with gravy, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, butter beans, collards and cornbread. Yum!

 

Husband will have sloppy joes as I'm fuck all with cooking tonight.
Getting over a cold bug he gave to me from his germy students. I want to beat them all with a pool noodle.
Might have some of that pre-joe cooked beef over rice or something. With a side veggie because I'm not a bastard.
Cheers.

 

Risotto Milanese, garlic-herb smeared pork tenderloin, asparagus.

 

we had boneless chicken boobs slathered in mayo and dredged in crushed deep fried onion pieces from one of those cans.... scalloped potatoes and cranberry gravy(jellied cranberry,brown sugar, and orange juice.

 

Tonight I made Shrimp Florentine with Zoodles, a very easy, low carb take on scampi. I picked up some peeled, deveined, no tail shrimp from Costco. I added a half pound of asparagus just because. A perfect mid-week dish that I’ve made several times. Chicken can be substituted for shrimp.

that sounds interesting...

 

(dupe)

 

I culled also. I am down to two small shelves and a basket, plus a new herb garden. I love that rosemary and tarragon survived here, even with the cold February.

I also discovered who likes the taste of kale. Rabbits do, damn them.

 

Hope you get over your cold bug soon @ardee !

I gave my cold that I got from Vegas to my poor wife. She rebounded fairly quickly, me not so much, lol. I went back to work and my sick co-workers made me relapse....

I LOVE sloppy joes btw.!

 

.......

Thanks so much for the good wishes, @Electroguy563. It's the cough that was keeping me up for more than a few nights but it's pretty much over now.
I think my hubby fought it off quicker because he's around his students all the time, while it became a super-bug to me when he brought it home.
Sorry about your wife getting it and your relapse. Wishing you both a speedy recovery.

I'm hoping to make @Breeze147's soup recipe (he was kind enough to post in this thread) next week.
I have all the ingredients in the freezer, including the ham hock.
Had to put it off until we both felt better. I know it's gonna be delish and will report back after it's all done.

 

equal parts of each. warm over medium low heat to everything blends

 

Thanks. I'm gonna try it. My husband loves cranberry sauce.

 

Papelle pasta topped with a white sauce with shrimp in it. And the filet portion of a porterhouse steak...Hey it was my birthday

 

Go ahead and send me the strip loin portion, please!!

 

Haha that went to the kids...
