BBQ chicken, loaded potato salad, baked beans, cornbread, Asian cucumber salad and tiramisu for dessert.
This week I made chicken piccata, burgers, sesame chicken and broccoli with rice, and gazpacho. Last weekend I made ratatouille, tuna steaks and I forget what else. I am tired of cooking.
In our house we have the “I cooked/you clean” policy, but when I cook I clean as I cook, and when DH cooks he makes a hot mess. Is this true. For others too? And he can never rearrange the fridge to fit everything so he usually asks me to pick out containers for the leftovers and then leaves them out (after filling them) for me to put away. Sigh…
I’m making tamale pie. Uses up the last of the carne adovada from the other night and lets me use one of my favorite cast iron pans. And anything that tastes like tamales without requiring all the work of rolling each individual one is a winner IMO. I’ve already started on the wine, though, so I’m easy to please at this point.
I know my standards of clean up and stuff in the kitchen are probably high an OCD. While I’d love to have a H (and sometimes kids) who can clean up like I would, most of the time - for the last 38 years - it ain’t happening. So, if I can’t relax my standards I just do it myself!
Went and visited my mom and made her a creamy portabella mushroom pasta and a salad (no greens) of tomato, cucumber, red onion, fresh mozz, basil, garlic chives and a garlic vinaigrette. She loved that salad!
I used other other square of puff pastry (from the box which I opened to make the mushroom-gruyere tart) to make an apple streusel tart for dessert yesterday. Which I served warm with salted carmel ice cream.
Absolutely true in my house. So I changed the rules. When I cook he cleans up and when he cooks he cleans up.
We have had the one-pot garlic Parmesan fettuccine twice in the last week. It is a HUGE hit—unbelievable for my picky eaters. Now I have 3 meals they will all eat without substitutions. Even H who does not like most things with a noodle ate it. I made a double batch today to have some left over.
Back at work, so things are changing—more crock pot, more pasta. Easier to cook meals when furloughed because I’m not so tired and I have more time.
I have ingredients for the grain salad, hope to put that together tomorrow. I’m the only one eating it.
made a stir fry tonight with sirloin marinated in soy sauce, garlic and ginger, mushrooms, onion, carrots and red peppers. Rice.
Have recently started making Agadashi tofu. Pretty easy, and it gets chomped up fast.
I use a Garlic crusher to squeeze Key limes when I make Key lime pie. Been doing it for years. Was cooking up some A Choy(lettucey Asian veg)which call for a ton of minced garlic, and rather than chop it up with a knife, I decided to use the garlic crusher. It works fantastically…who knew?
We are at our beach house currently and one of our “must have” favorites while here is linguini with clam sauce made from local clams. My husband is making it right now and my mouth is watering from the smell.
Found a copycat recipe for Cherry Garcia ice cream. That sound you hear in the background is my churn running. Soon…yum.
Sandwich cubano, Croquettes, papa rellena, Pasta de Bocaditos
Tres leche for dessert?
Bbq chicken breasts with sautéed onions, tomatoes, and zucchini with brown rice. DD made a chocolate earthquake cake ?
@Singersmom07 I have no clue what chocolate earthquake cake is, but I want some.
I actually googled it and see different recipes of it. Will be trying ASAP.
Anyone else that ever visits NYC, Two Little Red Hens Bakery has the worlds greatest Chocolate Black Out Cake. Insanely good and served at many high end restaurants in the 5 boroughs and beyond.
I have been making over 100 meals a week since March 13. Yesterday I went on strike---- stayed in my bedroom all day and told the hubby and teens to figure it out. I’m back now and making shrimp tacos and slaw with a side of squash and tomatoes.
100+ meals a week - I can’t even imagine!
It was a bit chilly today so I made sauce and we had spaghetti & meatballs, plus a salad. Sangria for me and H had a beer.
I’ll have a dish of mint cookie crumble ice cream later.
Why? Each family member has a different meal? how old are they? Sorry that’s a lot of meals and a lot of work for you!
My kiddo is making carbonara today, she hasn’t made it for 3 weeks and everyone misses it.
We hit up the farmer’s market this morning, and picked up an assortment of produce, cheese, dry-cured meats, pickles and olives and an italian bread. It all looked so delectable there was really only one obvious choice for dinner tonight: charcuterie board and sangria.
So we made 2 meals today, Korean BBQ from Costco and Carbonara. We make enough to eat them for the next few days.
