What's For Dinner Tonight??

The casserole looks yummy, like potpie filling.

 

For the wine lovers among us

I already knew that you have red wine with red meat, and the more flavor the meat has the more robust the wine should be, however, I can never remember the details. Since I've found a pretty good guide, I'm sharing it here.

And grudgingly investing in a Merlot or two for the next time The Guy cooks steaks.

 

That sounds delicious!

I'm cooking a prime rib roast for dinner because The Guy and I decided that tonight is a special occasion. We haven't quite decided yet what exactly it is that makes it special, but we're in agreement that we can figure that out later.

 

Aha! THAT is the special occasion!

 

Mimsy, that is an excellent guide, thank you so much for sharing! I am awful at picking red wines.

 

Corned beef Reuben and a banana microwave mug cake with Nutella. Because I can.

Mom's birthday dinner: Stuffed clams, agave roasted root vegetables, spinach and fruit salad with citrus dressing. Later there will be strawberries and cream.

Dinner was unpretentious, since today at work was classic Monday in every way for both of us. So we reheated some leftovers from the weekend and called it good... It was very good.

It has been cold last few days so I made my last pot of chili for this season.

 

It's a slice of prime rib roast.

 

Mayo and dill Tilapia, served with the leftover roasted root vegetables and a spinach salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. And for dessert we finished off the strawberries and cream.

Sgt Tibbs - you have mentioned your blog at times and also mentioned diabetic diet - do you also know or post kidney friendly diets? Basically avoiding potassium and phophourus which is hard to avoid in normal dinners.

 

Tim, is that the grand slam? But where's the cake!

 

Baked Ham, Yellow Yukon Potatoes, Lima Beans, and Blueberry Muffins.

 

Sorry, that's not one of the things I have to pay attention to. Mom's pre-diabetic with high blood pressure and borderline high cholesterol, but everything else is fine. I am seeing a lot more recipes posting potassium in the nutrition information, though, so at least you can see if it'll work for you like I do with the carbs.

 

Beef-flavored Ramen Noodles --- Yummoh!

After working out, I then had me a Prime Time Snack of some Tostadas Chips with some ... well, with allergies right now I can't handle Salsa lest I go into a coughing fit. So, I just mixed some Tomato Sauce & Horseradish Sauce. Oh yeah, and the Baloney & Cheese sandwich and 3 Oatmeal cookies.

 

Thankx

 

Lucky You.

 

Kes - you having cravings??

 

This kind of week. . . .

 

Bean and Chicken burrito, fresh salad and green chile.


Prickly Pear Cactus fruit, man it's good, but harder to eat than pomegranates.

 

Oh, that looks amazing. Where can I get my hands on some of those?

 

The Desert, dessert. They are not in season right now. This was the first ones I ever tried, they grow in my yard. Next time, I will try to make jam/jelly. The seeds are tiny and many, but uber sweet. They will stain you real good too if not careful.

Desert Decadence makes a prickly pear tea, real good stuff.

 

Later there will be berry tarts (the frozen ones from Omaha Steaks). Roast leg of lamb, garlic and dill potato salad, asparagus with lemon and dill, sweet & sour red cabbage, and Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits from a box mix. Easter is supposed to be a religious holiday, but my religion is food.

Always nice to meet another follower of the true faith

 

I had a yummy yum yum hamburger. Home made. Seven percent fat. Whole wheat bread very lightly toasted, pickle slices and generous amount of onions.
Washed it down with diet Pepsi.

 

leftover chili followed by some sweeeet red wine

 

Dinner tonight: Delivery from a local pizza company that makes spectacular stuff. Yummmmmm!

 

The pizza delivery places in my area just are just not worth it.
I have stopped eating pizza.

 

It all sounded good, but the recipes turned out meh. Sweet potato and spinach with scrambled egg, side of roasted cauliflower in cheese sauce.

 

Italian Night~~Spaghetti and Meat Balls with French Bread. Guess it should have been with Italian Bread huh?

 

Kestrel I had to look swede up as I had never heard of it before. Looks like it is a cabbage or turnip. Interesting!

 

Chuck roast marinated in Soy Vay, slow barbecued.
