What's for dinner tonight in your house? Inspire me!


Recommended Posts

Not really a recipe, but at the grocery store this morning I stocked up on all sorts of hearty veggies-- beets, bok choy, collard greens, etc. My plan is to throw the greens into a big pot with a bit of oil, and add some nuts, steam the beets, and serve over brown rice. Now what can I call it-- January Stew? hmmmm. And for dessert, clementines and rougalach. Then we'll watch a Cold War video from our history studies, either Fail Safe or Dr. Strangelove... that's tonight's plan!

Garlic Lime salmon

This is like the recipe my family LOVES from Saving Dinner:

 

GRILLED SALMON WITH LIME - GARLIC

BUTTER

 

4 med. clove garlic, crushed

1/2 c. butter

1/2 c. lime juice

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce

1 tsp. salt or to taste

6 salmon steaks

 

Brown garlic in butter until lightly browned. Combine with lime juice, pepper, hot pepper juice, and salt. Brush salmon with mixture. Broil or barbecue salmon about five minute per inch of thickness on each side. Turn once and brush with garlic butter halfway through cooking time. Heat remaining garlic butter and drizzle over salmon. Six servings.

OK, it's that time of day again, and I desperately need inspiration. What's on the menu in YOUR house tonight?

 

This will either inspire me, or overwhelm me! Regardless, let me have it! I'm interested!

Hey Amy,

How about homemade soup with cornbread and butter! Or maybe chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and biscuits! Can you tell I'm from the south?

Have boiled two chickens today -

one recipe is chicken and dumplings for dinner tonight

 

and the other is enchiladas but I think I'd have enough for a chicken pot pie.

Love to hear how you do your sauce and veggies for the pie part.

I think I'll try biscuits on top?

Stephanie - not the Stephanie who replied earlier with the fun picture who says she's from the South, although I am from/live in the South.:cool:

OK, well, since the family just informed me that they ALL want to eat dinner in 25 minutes, I guess the next question is.....who's going to invite us all over for dinner!!!!

 

I'm so impressed by all of you ladies! And btw, bread in the bread machine TOTALLY counts as homemade bread in my house. I did that earlier this week and was QUITE proud of myself.

 

Hmmm....can waffles count for supper? If they're homemade and not Eggos?

Pizza from our favorite local pizza place with a large antipasto salad. Sorry for not inspiring you with anything "wow!" but our church blessed us with meals everyday this week so we can focus on our oldest son and other children, plus my pregnancy. Surprisingly enough, everyone made the same thing every night. I will say that we will not be having meatloaf and mashed potatoes for a while. :)

Hijack--

Which Failsafe are you watching? Loved the live George Clooney version--just a heartbreaking play, isn't it?

I'm reading Alas, Babylon right now before I give it to ds (he's doing Sonlight 300), and I just got to the part where they know the whole world has gotten bombed. (perhaps that should be rephrased--sounds like everyone hit the bar! lol)
