The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

[icelandgirl]

Crock pot sesame orange chicken, rice and sugar snap peas for tonight.

Really need to start getting things ready for Thanksgiving...we're going to my mom's but I'm bringing a lot of the stuff.

[bartfull]

I usually eat a small breakfast, a big lunch and then a small supper. I cooked that turkey and will be having that for lunch today. And yesterday, one day only, the store had russet potatoes on sale - a five pound bag for FORTY-EIGHT CENTS, limit 2 per customer, so I'll be having a baked potato with my turkey.

 

But for breakfast (and supper later) I have grilled cheese. I got the Schar multi-grain bread by mistake. (I had wanted to get the white to make stuffing with.) And I got the big block of American cheese. I'll tell you, that Schar multi-grain makes the best darned grilled cheese I may have ever had.

Bart...I just love your enthusiasm for the foods that you've gotten back! It gives me hope that someday I will be able to eat more things too. Thanks for sharing it!

[bartfull]

Thanks! I learned patience and self-control while I was so restricted so in the long run it was good for me. And now I just want to celebrate.

 

It'll happen for you too. And when it does you'd better watch your figure!  I thought giving up ice cream would make me lose weight but with all the ymmy things I've gotten back I fear I'm eating more now than I ever did!

[icelandgirl]

Ahhh...patience...that ever elusive patience. Still a hard one for me...but you definitely give me hope!

So, I got a box of glutino corn bread stuffing. Could I substitute the butter it asks for with olive oil?

I know its probably too late (was afk for thanksgiving) but it should work well.

 

Had a great thanksgiving dinner yesterday, leftovers today!  Yumyumyumyum.

It did. It turned out to be very good.

Today I am making spaghetti with broccoli.  And some of those immaculate baking company chocolate fudge cookies (purple box mix).... yum yum!

[kareng]

Lets see.  Haven't posted in a while, so some catch-up

 

We made some great pizzas on pizza crusts from a local bakery - cheese & feta; pepperoni, jalapeno & pineapple; red onions and bacon; and a BBQ chicken - Gates BBQ sauce for the sauce, grilled chicken, red onions, cheddar & moz.

 

Turkey sandwiches on millet rolls, left-over scalloped potatoes & carrot sticks & chocolate and apple cinnamon cupcakes.

 

Burgers and foil packet red potatoes & more cupcakes

Sounds good kareng! Do you have a recipe for the millet rolls?

No. They are from a gluten-free bakery close to my house.

[LauraTX]

Last night I made Spaghetti with Broccoli.  Today will be beef stir fry with brown rice.  

 

I put in a huge order for canyon bakehouse bread... if you order $50+ it is free shipping with code "canyonfreeship".  The email I got says it is good through Friday.  So excited to have a good stockup of bread!  I will probably eat it all too quickly... lol.

[icelandgirl]

It's cold today...beef stew in the crockpot and corn bread to go with it.

[LauraTX]

Cold here, too!  I put some beans on the crock pot, black beans with bacon and I will probably fry up some sweet potatoes to go with it.

[gilligan]

I made white pork chili from Danielle Walker's book Meals Made Simple, and a Schar's baguette.  Both were really good! 

[icelandgirl]

Tonight we are having roasted chicken, roasted root veggies and a tossed salad.

[bartfull]

COD!! The healthfood store had wild caught Alaskan cod for a good price. I'll be broiling it with butter and bread crumbs. I'll probably have a baked potato and some broccoli with it. And I WILL be sharing with the cat. (She loves cod almost as much as I do.)

Went to Jimmy John's last night.  I checked and double checked with them to make sure everything was gluten-free--or what I could have was gluten-free.  They called their manager to "verify" too....sicker than a dog today.  Did some more research, their roast beef is NOT gluten-free....I will be stopping by to make sure they don't do that to someone else.  I am on the road traveling and it was pretty much my only option.  I have some food with me but I did plan to eat out last night so I did not bring "dinner" food.....ugggggg.

We had beef stew last night, too!  With some experimental "pop-over" rolls.  The rolls were very "eggy"- not really what we wanted but OK.

 

Sunday night we had the best green chili pork stew!  Cooked the pork for 4 hours in the oven, then made the stew!  It was fabulous!  We are having more tonight!

Anyone have any ideas for a gluten-free substitute for Guinness Beer?  I have an Irish Stew recipe that we like to make in the winter but it needs Guinness or a dark beer.

[psawyer]

Guinness is something I still miss. I don't know of any gluten-free beer that is even close.

I think the overall flavor would be fine even if it's not drinkable as a solo delight .  Probably can't duplicate it gluten-free though since it's such a gluten heavy drink.

Sadly just had gluten free chicken strips and oreida fries for dinner tonight. We ran out of Thanksgiving leftovers and have yet to venture into the grocery stores to replenish.
