What's for dinner? (Saturday)
 
I have a loaf of barley bread rising...but I haven't planned dinner yet. Any ideas? What are you having?

I decided on a cold supper, a bit early but I made a tuna macaroni salad. We will have it with cold cuts and cheese. Some homemade barley bread would go nicely with that but I don’t have any.😢

Tartan, that sounds yummy!

Red beans, rice, sausage, and corn muffins. I as raised on this.

Left over pork stroganoff. I made it Friday night.

It’ seems to get more difficult these days to come up with new ideas for dinner when it’s just the two of us and have different interests. I love pasta and rice while DH was raised on meat and potatoes...I like spicy and a variety of ethnic foods (mexican, curry, Greek, etc) and DH likes simple recipes. Tonight I am making a rack of baby back ribs and hasselback potatoes. 😏

I have subscribed to Every Plate and Saturday I cooked pork chops, potatoes and zucchini. It's just me and it made enough for 3 meals.

I missed this post yesterday. But I do remember what we ate for dinner. Roasted chicken, stuffed mushrooms, asparagus, mac and cheese. The chicken was bought at the rotisserie, the stuffed mushrooms were bought in the deli section, the asparagus was in a jar but the mac and cheese was homemade. My kids ate with us so I wasn't about to cook all that from the start.

I made a big pot of Broccoli Soup that would go perfect with your bread.

Grilled pineapple and chicken quesadillas, with cilantro, jalapenos, onions, jack cheese and bbq sauce. Yum! 😋

Everyone has such creative ideas! I've been trying not to get in a rut. You've given me some ideas.

I ended up with a barbecue, coleslaw and salad.

Peckish, your quesadilla looks scrumptious. I’ll jphave to pick up a package of tortillas today.

Loved last night's dinner: Pan grilled Mahi-Mahi in pineapple-habinero sauce, eggplant parmesan discs, and tatoma squash with sundried tomato pesto sauce. Wow! that sounds difficult, but was so easy. Veggies in oven, and fish in hot iron skillet with butter and spices. We have HEB, which sells an amazing "Prime rib rub" that I use on Every-thing.

Ashley333- I’m curious as to what kind of spices you used on your fish. I’m trying to learn different ways to cook fish without frying.

Jshep 04-13-2021 05:29 AM
This all sounds so good. I’m trying to find recipes that are low carb, high protein. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Brat burgers on our George Foreman grill, tossed salad, roasted Brussels sprouts & baby carrots. Watching carbs.

https://kalynskitchen.com and the South Beach Diet cookbooks have been very helpful for me.

  • We love to fish. Blackened seasoning's secret ingredient is paprika. Sprinkle filets generously, then add more spices that you like (garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper). Grill in butter.
  • I cut some Mahi into large cubes and grilled them in garlic butter sauce like shrimp scampi. Served over pasta.
  • Sometimes I grill in just butter or olive oil and add a sauce, or put in a corn tortilla with shredded cabbage and pico de gallo.
  • Shark is firm, so I made shish-ke-bobs from cubes and grilled on pit.

Tonight, grilled sausage, field peas, rice, peas and carrots, beets, homemade yeast rolls
