What are you having for dinner?

As my dad used to say "Nothing bad ever comes out of the crock pot. Alas, we don't own one. I'm not sure why, but we've just not ever made the decision to buy one.

Dinner tonight is steak (for SO) and salmon filet (for me) grilled. Sweet potatoes and cauliflower/goat cheese custard on the side.

...and quesadillas on Saturday (which is Soup and/or Sandwich Day - and quesadillas are extrapolated into the "sandwich" category.)...

I like your idea of a theme for each day of the week. I'm curious what the other days' themes are?

I want to try a cranachan for our next dinner guests (unspecified, but someday). Ishbel, do you have a favorite recipe you use?

Tonight we have a tofu sausage in a bun with a salad and a side of cooked and spicy lima beans. Yum.

jp1 I see crockpots at the thrift shop all the time.

Bowl of oatmeal for me, with raisins, walnuts, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Dh and dd are out.

Cranachan sounds tasty. I'd probably use brandy, since I have it around the house. Probably heresy...:+1:

black bean burgers with cabbage slaw and oven fries.

Tonight we're having salmon with mustard on it. I've gotten in the habit of making a mixed veggie thing in my new Nesco 6 qt roaster oven. It only takes 30 minutes, which is about 15 minutes less than in the big oven and heats up really quickly. I cut up carrots, potatoes, celery, mushrooms, sweet potato, parsnips and onion and sometimes red peppers. I mix it with EVOO and sometimes balsamic vinegar, with S & P, thyme and rosemary. It's really yummy, and we never get tired of it. We'll also have a salad.

More lamb and veggie stew over here. Along with some crusty European bread (one sad little slice anyway...). haha
