What's for Dinner? ~ Wednesday March 11th

[Lucinda]

Getting an early start on this one because I already know. :D

A good friend brought us a pan of his yummy fresh baked lasagne a few hours ago, so we'll be doing lasagne, garlic bread and a salad. And I may crack open a bottle of wine.

1. Crepes?

:silly:

[Lucinda]

2. LMAO

I have a hunch I'll be having lots of crepe lunches the next couple of weeks. :D

[Inchworm]

20. Yup

I tried 'em.

Not too bad.

I was kinda guessing what to stuff 'em with, so I just did steak, sour cream, dab of horseradish. I think that was burrito mentality though... not bad :D

:hi:

3. I was going to make Spanakopita, but...

I'm not sure I'm up for the labor. Maybe a roast instead. Hmmm.

[Lucinda]

4. Both sound yummy to me. It's cool and rainy here, that hot gooey

lasagne is gonna rock. :)

5. Chocolate cake because I can...

being mostly grown up now, if I want chocolate cake for dinner, I am going to have chocolate cake for dinner.
And a side of corn or something.

6. I love "dessert dinners"

You'll get no harassment from me. :D

7. Making soup - Bean Barley

Just started it

1/2 onion
3 carrots
2 celery stalks
1 slice celery root
bay leaf
coriander
1 very big clove garlic
turmeric
parsley
1 cup barley
1 big can kidney beans

veggies are boiling now, will add the barley now, then beans near the end since they're already cooked

:)

[Lucinda]

8. That sounds tasty!

I never think to add celery root to soups. I should try that!

9. I don't know.

There's plenty of fresh food in the house (except for meat -- but who needs that?). I was at Trader Joe's two days ago, so there's feta, and ingredients for caprese, and greek yogurt, and and and...

Maybe I'll make a big pile of buttered, parmesan pasta and bowls of stuff to add on, as wished. And then I'll have the leftover corned beef. Low carb, baby.

[Lucinda]

10. My brain fogged over and the mention of the magic word

Caprese is probably my favorite food thing in the world! ...but the buttery parmesan pasta sounds wonderful too.

11. Red Mountain's green chili pork posole.

Found the recipe in the Salt Lake Tribune.

We'll see how it turns out.

[Lucinda]

12. If you like it I hope you'll come back and post it!

I'm always looking for new pork recipes. :hi:

[GentryDixon]

13. Here is the recipe.

http://foodforthoughtblog.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/green-chile-pork-posole/

I am going to serve with warm tortillas.

I have never used white hominy, nor tomatillos. I sent a text message to my husband with some of the ingredients. This is a guy that hates to buy a gallon of milk. But he did well. He came home with all on my list.

Edited for spelling.

[Lucinda]

14. Thanks for the recipe link! Glad your husband found everything!

The hominy should be a nice addition to the pork and other veggies. Looks very tasty!

[GentryDixon]

15. This was very tasty.

It is dense, and extremely filling. I added grated Parmesan to my bowl.

I makes quite a bit. There are two of us, so we have enough for another meal.

[Lucinda]

18. I thought it would be filling! Glad it tastes as good as it sounds!

We often cook things that work for more than one meal, so this is a good one for us. :)

16. jambalaya. Yumm. nt

[hippywife]

17. I just threw some

sweet potatoes in the oven. Bill is having one with a salad and bleu cheese.

[NMDemDist2]

19. Smoked Chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches on Ain5 bread

they were darned tasty too!

[leftyclimber]

21. Roasted cornish game hens with lemon and sage.

And a great big mixed-greens salad.

Cheap, fresh, and tasty.

22. More homemade pork/veggie pot pies

Hubby likes his crust really brown, but I prefer a lighter crust. I've been covering mine with foil for half the baking period, which is a nice compromise.
