Today I'm making a big batch of braised pork. I'll be using this recipe as a template: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/chi...shoulder-tacos
This whole meal looks soooo good in those pics! I'll probably use ground chile instead of making the sauce from dried ones, and I'll use the Gordon Biersch lager that I have on hand. Mexican tacos with a German twist!
I'm hoping posting on here will motivate me to do this earlier rather than later.....>8)
Jane: Endless Chicken Soup (tm) - made me snort (with laughter).
watergoddess: how were the tacos? DID you get motivated?
Around here lately: Thursday was homemade Sloppy Joes served with what I call "fridge relishes", which can mean whatever is in there that's needing used - in this case cottage cheese, home-canned bread-n-butter pickles, store-bought pickled beets, and store-bought hot mix pickled stuff. Today was a wondermous Mexican Chickenish casserole, using a can of chicken, some onion slices, and getting rid of the following freezer leftovers: Mexican rice, tortilla soup, and crushed tag-ends of tortilla chips (I crush the bottom of the bags when they get too stale for DH and throw in a bag in the freezer.) It was one of those casseroles you wish you could make all the time, but can't, 'cause it was just an incidental confluence of leftovers that melded perfectly into a meal. I sliced some cuke, shredded some carrot on top and sprinkled with diced green onions and called that our salad/veggie.
Tomorrow is sausage-n-egg-n-cheese toasted bunwiches (need to work on the rest of the buns from the sloppy joes), with the rest of the cuke for early meal, and will use the rest of the sausage with the last of the pepperoni in the freezer for a pizza for late meal. And Sunday am planning fajitas using a pork roast that DH lightly grilled earlier in the week with the awesome warmer weather. Around here we've been able to smell spring coming, and DH is all excited to be grilling again.
In honor of Pi day, dinner tonight is a slice of cheesecake!
Open faced tuna salad sandwich on homemade focaccia bread (GF) with homemade mayo. Asparagus swimming in butter.

Last night, we had a great dish that originally came from a recipe in a magazine, but has evolved over the years. It's a one-pan dish including chicken, sweet potatoes, & frozen mango. Yummy & healthy!
Last night I made a birthday meal for my son. He's Pescatarian. Haha......I tell him he's Presbyterian........
We had an appetizer of shrimp and coctail sauce and then for the meal we had salmon in parchment with lemon and capers, roasted green beans, and couscous with tomatoes and a "wedgie" of lettuce with olive oil/balsamic vinegar, feta cheese and sunflower seeds.
For desert we have a chocolate/tofu pie (that doesn't taste anything like tofu) with whipped cream and toasted almonds. It was a nice splurge!
Reviving the thread, just 'cause I like the subject. :)
Lately, main meals, around the homestead.....
- fried fresh-frozen crappie (bartered, we don't get around to going fishing) w/calico salad.
- ate out Saturday. Mountain oysters-n-fries/tots/rings. It was righteous.
- toast and hash browns under sausage gravy. OJ as the "veggie".
- egg salad sandwiches, filling in breakfast and supper holes. The newest hens have started laying with a vengeance.
- grilled pork steaks, broccoli-n-cheese sauce, and calico salad (lucky it gets better the longer it sets, 'cause it makes way too big a bowl).
- deer burgers w/cheese and lettuce and onions and pickles; along with the rest of the calico salad. Glad to see the last of this salad!
- tomorrow: spaghetti (red sauce) w/meatballs and garlic toast.
- and Thursday is a pot of ham and beans with corn muffins and (?something?) for a veggie/relish.
Frozen blackberries processed in the blender. With heavy cream. I'm contemplating warming up a country rib with homemade BBQ sauce.

Gerald- how does your post have anything to do with the topic- and why are you posting the same message on multiple threads that have nothing to do with your message?
I guess Gerald is having Spam for lunch!
I think Vicki Robin's new book about locavore movement has a lot to do with gardening and less to do with cooking, so I'll delete this message of Gerald's and keep his message in the Gardening forums.Quote:

Hi folks! I am so uninspired lately with our meals that i've come over to steal your scrumptious menus. Seriously, Tuesday's dinner was hot dogs and baked beans. No, we are not camping nor do I have any of the grand children present. Major rut-city here! That being said, today's meal was beef tips over noodles with broccoli. Hubby raved. ( Guess that just adds to how ho-hum our meals have been.)
Anyone got a go-to idea for boneless skinless chicken breasts? I was thinking chicken parmesan. What do you guys suggest - I always have them on hand, so throw some thoughts my way!
DH makes a dish with chicken breasts (Cut into small pieces) and cut up sweet potatoes and mango (we use frozen). It all gets cooked in a saute pan with some seasonings and it's one of our favorite dishes. It isn't pretty, but it's a one-pan dish that is hearty, healthy and delicious!
Imerullo: can't really suggest any ideas, without knowing more about your "cooking challenges", like time constraints, or health issues, or healthy-cooking preferences.....
.....I can, however, say: PINTEREST! Put boneless chicken breasts into their search engine, and oh my, you'll have more ideas for meals than you'll know what to do with!
I just came across this in my newsfeed: http://low-carb-news.blogspot.com/20...n-breasts.html
I like stir-fries; they're infinitely variable. Also soup. Chicken mole is good.
That sounds like something we'd like.Quote:

The menus are dictated by finding both a pack of chicken wings, and a box of pre-fab sausage links, buried in the frost of the bottom of the freezer day before yesterday. And since they're both old, but not TOO old (I hope).....
