Mrs. Readsalot Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Of course I started this thread today because I have known what we are going to have for dinner tonight since yesterday. This past weekend I purchased a 5 lb bag of Vidalia Onions on sale, and if I have a big bag of onions I will be making Onion soup. This is a 2 day process. Day 1 Carmelize the onions for 24 hours on low in the slow cooker. Ingredients enough onions peeled and skinned to fill the slow cooker. enough broth (chicken, beef vegie doesn't matter) to cover the bottom of the slow cooker Note your house will smell intensely of onion. Day 2 Open slow cooker and admire the beautiful site, then add beef broth, a bit of Worcheshire sauce and a few bay leaves. Cook on low all day. Treat yourself to Panera bread soup bowls, To assemble - scoop out center of bread bowl save pieces for dipping, put soup in bowl, put in a few croutons, put a slice of provolone or swiss on top, broil until browned Enjoy!!!!

Gwen in VA Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Dinner? Huh? I guess I do need to think about that, don't I? :D I guess I'll go to the freezer and figure out which type of meat I should have taken out of the freezer last night! Thanks for the reminder! I'm going through a particularly disorganized period in my life -- last night we had take-out paizza. Sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetbaby Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We made chicken fajitas to for our Cinco De Mayo day. Not quite sure about tonight. I have been a little slack on my menus here lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 But this morning I pulled out salmon from the freezer instead. It will be grilled salmon with asparagus, couscous, and salad. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so the crockpot soup will be better tomorrow instead of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I think we'll probably have spinach and parmesan ravioli with caesar salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well, last night we had Chinese stir fry. My special recipe made in a wok---By my 11yo dd! She did so well, it tasted GREAT! Hmph--that was MY special recipe. She learned to make it, and now I think hers tasted better than mine! NOW what do I do? ;) Maybe tonight we'll have my homemade potato soup. That's about it for my specialties! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We are having a seasonal supper: pissaladiere and Sugar Snap, Radish, Cucumber Salad. I use a recipe from one of the Moosewoods for the pissaladiere. Top a thick whole wheat crust with some cheese and a thick layer of carmelized onions (flavored with thyme). Yum, yum. I also wanted to make oatmeal-cocoa no-bakes but realized that I don't have enough oats. Since I biked the opposite direction from the grocery to vote and since I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint by not running my car for something as silly as one ingredient, I am doing with no bakes. Sniff, sniff. Sympathy and a merit badge, please? Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Chicken breasts are cooking in teh crockpot. I'm going to make some gravy, heat up some mashed potatoes and do a veggie of some sort. (I usually close my eyes and whatever box I grab from the freezer is what we eat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 He wants to experiment with making our own calzones. So, I put marinara sauce in the crock pot this morning, and after I get back inside from supervising guinea pig playtime on the patio, I'll put together some pizza dough. We'll let that rise while he's at dance class and assemble our creations this evening. I'm thinking mine's going to get sauce, sauteed onions and black olives. His will probably be just sauce on the inside. We bought a big bunch of grapes yesterday, so we'll eat some of those on the side, and he will drink a glass of soymilk.

Kelli in TN Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I have white beans seasoned with country ham in the slow cooker. I have a "mess" of greens simmering on the stove. I will ask my daughter to make a batch of cornbread this evening to go with this meal. That's supper for us tonight!! If only I had some green tomatoes to fry, then dh would really be singing my praises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendi Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We're having tilapia, but I haven't decided how to prepare it. Bake it with lemon juice and herbs? Saute in the pan with garlic? Coat with crushed tortilla chips and bake? Hmmm.... Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shell in SC Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm half cheating. DH is in DC this week so I'll be popping a Publix Chicken Pot Pie in the oven to heat up. But I think I will redeem myself with the fresh, local strawberries I picked up this afternoon and the homemade shortcakes that will go with them. YUM! I may skip the pot pie and go straight for the berries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheryl Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Sounds great! We're just having homemade chicken casserole...very basic. Boil chicken, frozen mixed veggies. Boil rice. Add together with broccoli cheese canned soup, spices (salt, pepper, garlic) combine and pour into baking dish. When it's about finished I'll put some biscuit dough on top for baked biscuits on top of casserole. Sheryl <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
