jhschool Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 DH made the yummiest grilled cheese sandwiches with lots of fresh tomato and whole grain bread, grilled in a little butter. Cream of tomato soup on the side. Chocolate chip cookies with walnuts and pecans for dessert. San Pellegrino fizzy water to drink. YUM! I love DH!

catz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I made a mushroom and leek galette with gorgonzola from the most recent Cook's Illustrated yesterday. It was very good but a ton of work!

Jenny in Florida Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I made Italian subs last night, based on a sandwich we used to buy at a corner pizza place in New Jersey. Our version last night had home-made sub-type rolls, sauteed onions and bell peppers and baked potato chunks smothered in home-made marinara sauce. It doesn't sound especially healthy, and is definitely carb heavy, but it felt like comfort food for a cold-for-Florida evening. The night before, we had burritos made with seasoned black beans, rice, onions, corn and bell peppers. I haven't decided about what to make tonight yet.

Parrothead Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It was going to be savory steak pie. When I took the ash from the stove to the garage, I slipped on the ice, caught myself with the bum arm and now we are going out. I'm trying to decide between sloppy cheese burger or breakfast.

********* Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I am making the dinners for my family now since my mom is pregnant and her back hurts her, but I enjoy it. Tonight I made American Chop Suey with Garlic Bread. (Since I diet, I ate a low fat chicken sandwich with grapes and a glass of water). Tomorrow night is French Fried Onion Chicken, Mashed Potatoes w/gravy, and garlic string beans on the side. I am not having that though!:) Cheyenne, you sound like a lovely daughter! Last night I made two soups; chicken noodle and Avogolemono (Greek chicken lemon rice soup. SO easy). I LOVE Avogolemono, but dh and Zee like chicken noodle better. They both start with chicken and broth, so it was easy to divide it into two small pots and make two different kinds. We had homemade rolls with it. Mmmmm....

Guest Katia Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I love reading these types of threads; they give me so many ideas for supper! Yesterday, we had mahi mahi, steamed in foil packets in the oven, flavored with some olive oil, balsamic vinegar and seafood spice / steamed spinach / and fresh mushrooms sauteed it butter. Tonight was Parmesan chicken, baked on a rack in the oven / faux-tatoes (cooked cauliflower processed with cream cheese into mashed potato consistency) / and lima beans mixed with sour cream. Tomorrow will be pork chops and green beans in the crockpot with an organic cream of mushroom soup / and organic brown rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made the switch completely away from processed, GMO, CAFO foods the 1st of the year and decided to try grass-fed beef today. How did you like it? You may find it much leaner which means it can dry out quickly. Cook steaks at higher temps to sear and shorter times to acheive an inside that is medium (or less if it's your preference). They taste better that way. Hope it was great! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 We had fried rice. Fry a selection of vegetables, cut into small dice, in vegetable oil. These must include onions (preferably scallions/spring onions) and garlic. Slices of fresh ginger are good too. With them fry a few rashers of bacon (cut up small) or 1/4 cup of cubed ham. Put the veg and bacon onto a plate when only just cooked. Make a quick omelette with two or three eggs. Put it onto the veg plate. Fry steamed rice (white or brown) until cooked through - make it crispy or soft as you prefer. When it is really hot, mix back in the other ingredients, breaking up the omelette into small pieces. Stir well and heat through. Season with a little salt. A meal in one dish. My boys' favourite comfort food. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week our toppings are steamed broccoli, sweet potato, brussels sprouts, baby corn, dried (unsweetened) cranberries, along with a slew of regular toppings like cukes, red pepper, green pepper.
