Default What's for Dinner?

Tonight I'm making this tasty chicken dish I got from a class I took long
ago. You marinade chicken breasts in a combination of Dijon mustard, good
white wine, garlic, shallots. Preheat the oven to 450*f and place the
chicken on parchment or the nonstick foil or even a silpat. Make fresh bread
crumbs by pulsing chunks of french bread in a food processor, and combine
with parmesan cheese and a chiffonade of basil. Top the chicken and then
drizzle it all with melted butter. Bake 12-15 minutes is all, and it's
delicious!

Rounding out the meal, green beans from my aunt Margaret's and salad, maybe
some pilaf.

Leftover Mountainberry Crisp for dessert! Yum!

What are you having??

Your chicken dish sounds wonderful. I will have to give it a try soon.

Last Friday my son and I helped my folks out by roasting,peeling and
seeding 22 pounds of green chile. As thanks, mom sent some home with
us. Tonight we are using some up in green chile and chicken enchiladas,
broccoli and red grapes I got at the farmers market on Saturday.

Dessert is chocolate cupcakes.

I have some leftover italin style stewed Zucchini, I will nuke a few cooked
meatballs i have in the freezer with the stew and either serve it with
pasta or mashed taters.

Zucchini recipe is easy

2-3 medium zucchini chopped
1 medium onion chopped
1 small green bell pepper seeded and chopped
2 ribs of celery sliced
Approximately 1/4 lb mushrooms sliced
3 large cloves of garlic smashed
1 14 oz can diced tomatos
1 8oz can tomato sauce (or i used canned V-8 this time)
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 tablesppon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

lots of grates parmesean or romano cheese (I prefer romano)

Sautee the first 5 veggies & garlic in a deep pan. the bottom coated with a
thin layer of olive oil. when the veggies have started to soften (5-10
minutes) add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and seasonings. Let simmer at
least 30 minutes. When everything is all stewed together, add a good
handful of cheese and remove from the heat. Serve with more cheese on top
if you choose.

All amounts can be adjusted to what YOU like. Same with the seasonings.
this time I added a bit of a hot gardinaiea sauce. YUM!

I was lazy ...I pan fried a ozark spice rubbed pork steak and had it with a
mess of chilled mini cheese wedges. I have no clue to the type of cheese
other than it was soft...it has a laughing cow on each indivualy foil
wrapped mini wedge.

That sounds really yummy! I make a shrimp dish with white wine and Dijon
that I serve over brown rice: I saute some onion and garlic in a bit of
butter and olive oil. Then I add some white wine and Dijon mustard,
bring to a simmer, and then add shrimp. Once the shrimp is cooked, I
throw in a couple of diced, seeded tomatoes and warm through. It's
quick, easy, delicious, and low-carb (for those who care).

Took the visiting in-laws to Landry's Seafood for dinner. I had Talapia
Pontchartrain (broiled talapia topped with a creamy white wine sauce,
mushrooms, and jumbo lump crabmeat), served with rice pilaf and steamed
veggies. Not bad for our second-choice restaurant (and for a Landry's
establishment). First choice restaurant (in-laws' pick) was denied, due
to a local power outage (that strangely didn't affect the Landry's right
down the street...).

Grilled hamburgers, fresh green beans, big ol' mixed greens salad with
radishes, cukes, tomatoes for mine, and spritzed with olive oil and
drizzled with balsamic. It was pretty good.

It was pretty simple. I browned some chops and tossed into the same pan a
can of sliced peaches with the juice. Continued cooking until the juices
were reduced and the chops had a lovely glaze. Sometimes I add some
cinnamon to it.. this time I didn't.

I made a pot of corn, okra, and tomato soup, baked a pan of cornbread and an
apricot pie for dessert.

Well, tonight's dinner is going to be this swell dish, but tonight I'm
doing it with a $2/lb on sale chuck steak instead of the flank. I'm
curious about how chuck will do instead of flank. I've got some baby
portabellos to fry up for it, too. I bought some really cheap soy sauce
that I'm going to try out, too.

I was toasting the sesame seeds in a pie plate in the microwave. Five
minutes isn't long enough. Eight was too long. Dangitall!

1 1/2 # beef flank steak

1 clove garlic -- crushed
1/4 tsp. pepper

Tonight's dinner -- coming up soon -- will be short & sweet -- getting ready
to watch a DVD.
Italian sausages, mashed potatoes with plenty of butter and cream, left over
sliced onions with lime juice, and blanched fresh spinach for me & fresh
spinach salad for the man.

I love a fresh spinach salad! What kind of dressing does your hubby prefer?
I like a raspberry walnut vinaigrette.

Tonight will be just off the table for him -- some Tuscan Olive Oil and his
preference of red wine vinegar or lemon or lime.
He's easy to please.
I can't eat fresh spinach, sadly to say, or I would be up with my head
hanging over the toilet at 2:30 a.m. What's that all about? I don't know.

(Marinated flank recipe snipped)

I predict it will be tougher than you'd prefer.
It's not as easy to slice on the bias as flank is.
I've used a very similar marinade for flank for
many years now, but never with sesame seeds although
I have added a bit of sesame oil on occasion.

We're having chuck tonight, too, pot roast.
It just looked like pot roast weather this morning.

Beef, onions, carrots, celery, garlic and red wine all
simmering in the oven. I'll add herbs and more
carrots about an hour before dinner and serve it
with mashed potatoes and corn muffins. Steamed
broccoli on the side to use it up before N. leaves
on yet another business trip tomorrow.

we're having cold sesame noodles tonight, in a semi-spicy peanut/sesame
sauce, topped with cilantro (i love the stuff), cucumber, scallions,
and peanuts. along with it, we're having baked marinated tofu. and a
bowl of honeyde melon. oh yeah, and i picked up some sushi at the
gourmet market for an appetizer: spicy tuna roll, spicy shrimp roll,
california roll, and nigiri bbq eel.

my daughter, who is 9, has come to like sushi recently. it used to be
that she liked california roll but nothing else....she's now venturing
into the real thing and she helped me pickout the 2 spicy rolls.
another newly-acquired taste!

my boyfriend didn;t like sushi (or didn't think he liked sushi,
anyways), but he's learning about it now and when it's his turn to pick
restaurants, he's now the one who suggests the all-you-can-eat sushi
bar every time. he's getting adventurous, too. last time we shared the
big boat for 2, which had all sorts of sushi and sashimi. he even ate
the octopus! (personally, not my favorite)

And for dessert.....well, we have this endless granola-topped peach pie
that i baked on Sunday that seems to be lasting us a long time. i think
tonight will be the end of it.

wow, now i'm looking forward to dinnertime even MORE!

he'll eat your octopuss, if he knows what's good for him.

Pot roast smothered in onions, braised in coffee with a dash of burgundy.
I'll turn the smotherings into brown gravy and serve meat and gravy over
homemade bread. Whatever's ripe in the garden will go on the side - probably
zucchini stir fried with peppers and opal basil (gotta use those zucchini!)
and some sliced tomatoes.

I don't think anyone will be able to discern the quality of balsamico
drizzled atop a hot fatty steak... what a waste... tantamont to using
top shelf scotch for a sour... you ruin the steak and you ruin the
balsamico. If you're hell bent to impress, serve your balsamico the
next day, on *cold* thinly sliced rare steak, and only if the steak is
unseasoned, not even s n' p. Personally I prefer my prized balsamico
atop something delicately flavored, like perfectly ripe fresh pear.
Balsamico is way too good (not to mention expensive) to use like cheapo
steak sauce. The real question here is why would you put anthing on a
good steak.
