What's For Dinner Tonight??

Sounded pretty bad to me... cannibalism!

 

Pint of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter World. It's been a day.

 

Does this work? MMM snacktime. http://zywie.com/smf/Smileys/smiley/eat.gif

 

Tonight is all about free. I've got a coupon for a free burger & fries from Steak & Shake for my upcoming birthday, a coupon for buy one, get one free shakes (also from S&S), and enough left on a gift certificate that I can also buy dinner for the guy without having to spend a dime.

 

Kestrel when you eat the vegetarian diet what is your main source of protein?

Sgt Tibbs free can be a good thing.


Tonight dinner was garlic roasted potatoes with grilled chicken breast.

 

Just finished munching. Started with a smoothie: banana, strawberry, apple, carrot, frozen mango, maca powder and chocolate protein powder, then finished off a chicken.

I've been paying attention to the veggie diets, and was curious what cauliflower cheese was. I once made a "Cheese" sauce dairy free using cashews and brewers yeast and lemon. It was ok, poured it over mushroom omelette. Didn't really taste like cheese as the recipe said.

But I have tried the Daiya veggie mozzarella in the omelettes and that is real good.

 

Change of plans, although still free. We had to work later than planned and were going to go over our meal time, so they fired up one of the concession stands and brought us fried chicken, cajun seasoned fries, and mini cheeseburgers. I didn't tell him he was originally going to get dinner when he picked me up... No sense disappointing him.

 

I had a giant plate of leftover fries from last night's catering. This week has not been conducive to my creating anything in the kitchen.

 

I would of never thought to mix chocolate with a fruit and veggie smoothie. Was it good? What brand of protein powder do you use?

 

Have you ever had chocolate dipped strawberries? MMM. Chocolate french fries? MMM

The protein powder I use is from Costco, Orgain® plant (pea) based with stevia. I actually like it better than vanilla powder. It not only adds protein, but texture/consistency to the smoothie. Sometimes I add vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg, depending on the blend. I heard adding a bit a cayenne pepper to chocolate deserts can make it pop, never tried it.

Cilantro works well in smoothies too.

I had to really cut back and/or quit dairy and wheat/gluten. You really don't comprehend how much of that is in the "American" diet.

 

MagOO I looked Orgain Protien Powder up and there are many different varieties of this stuff.
Not sure which one to pick. I would be using it for an occasional meal replacement. There is one called Orgain Organic Meal All-in-One Nutrition, so I assume that would be the right choice. This is all new to me. Any suggestions?

 

Chocolate with chili powder is amazing! Whenever I'm feeling like I can afford to spring $3+ for a chocolate bar, these are the first thing I buy. Yum!

 

Get a Nutri Bullet. The one on the left

It is small, easy to use and clean and does a great job. You mix up enough for one meal or serving, and it cleans up fast and easy, and does not take up much counter space. Just make sure you screw the lid on tight.

 

I actually have one of those.

 

Yeah, they are great. Do you use it alot?

 

I use to but not much lately. I would definitely use it for this.

 

Finally stopped sulking (I'm back on crutches again, knee again) and cooked. Purple potato and crab gratin, lima beans, cottage cheese.

Venison stew rewarmed from yesterday .... second day stew is so the best!

 

Roast turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy.

It's The Guy's birthday and that's what he wanted for his birthday dinner, so that is what I'm cooking. The whole house smells great.

 

I had a burger earlier this week and still paying the piper. Tonight having a smoothie, banana, frozen stawberry, frozen blackberry, frozen blueberry, papaya, apple, chocolate protein powder, nutmeg and vanilla and water.

 

I have a mountain of dishes and absolutely no energy whatsoever.

Turkey coma may not be an urban legend after all.

 

Honey balsamic salmon, garlic roasted potatoes, and broccoli with creamy garlic sauce.

Turkey leftovers last night, tonight, and over the weekend.

Hear me purr.

 

I am not aloud to have hot dogs and beans.

 

Simple Neopolitana Sauce with Vermicellie Spaghetti and a nice red.

 

Thoroughly enjoy leftover pizza...reheated wrapped in foil in a hot oven...served with nice Greek or Italian salad with a nice red.

 

MMMM Smoothie

 

Does anybody have a recipe for a bacon smoothie?

 

You could make a hot smoothie. My brother does it all the time using asparagus etc.

So fry up or bake some bacon to crispy. Then toss in some veggies like asparagus and cabbage, carrots maybe even cook or par boil the veggies, add in a can of mushroom soup and a half pound of bacon.

Dang that sounds good.

Just think, even after you get old and lose all your teeth you would still be able to eat/drink these tasty delights.

 

My other half (the better one) thinks I'm crazy!
Thanks for the suggestion - I will try it.

 

I had a plan for dinner, wrote two new recipes last night and everything. And then when I was telling my mother about them she wrinkled her nose and said she guessed she could eat a Hot Pocket, so apparently I'll be making a new plan.
Unless maybe one of you wants to come over for pizza casserole with marinated green bean salad on the side? Because I still think it sounds amazing.

 

Ha! Pulled this one out of my hat, I did! Montreal-style salmon, marinated green beans, tuna & white bean salad, and broccoli-cauliflower salad.

Going for Korean tonight. We're having bibimbap, samgyeopsal and some japchae.

 

mushroom/vegi omelette, tater tots avacado tomato. MMMM.

 

Being a picky eater and reading what pleases other people to eat often amuses me.
It is that time of year that we do a lot of cooking on the gas grill. Now if it would just stop raining every day so I could enjoy being out there. I have a pork tenderloin in the freezer that I would like to slow cook on the grill along with some roasted veggies.
