The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

[BeFree]

For lunch, some fried fish with Schar Cheese Bites for the coating

[mushroom]

I make mine out of buckwheat pasta.

Movie night, cream cheese/cheddar, olive and beef spread with gluten-free crackers. It's easy and really yummy! Easy to double for a party!

1 block of cream cheese at room temp

4oz cheddar

3 green onions finely chopped

20 green olives(I like more)

a pack of Budding beef finely chopped

1 teas gluten-free worcestershire sauce (more if you like)

I make it like this, but you can add a 1/2 cupof mayo to make it more spreadable. I leave it out due to soy. I know I could use a soy free mayo, but this works great. No matter where I take this, they love it.

Also Pizza and popcorn! Along with a much needed glass of wine.

I make my pasta salad with Tinkyada pasta, I've used a few different shapes for it. Even my gluten eating teens love it. It's the only gluten-free pasta I like cold.

Thank you! I'll give it a whirl!

[GFdad0110]

You found a gluten-free pasta that is palatable cold? Will you spill your secret ingredients?

I make a tuna casserole with the tinkayada pasta and eat it cold all the time. Its made with brown rice.

This sounds like a yummy spread, C-Kip!

Mixed grille tonight:

(it's actually 50 degrees in NYS today--global warming ??)

and so, garlicky loin lamb chops for me and sausages for hubster.

with baked sweet potatoes (after baking, I whip them with butter, brown sugar and a dash of cloves or allspice and cinnamon)

and braised brussel sprouts (saute some shallots, add some stock, parsley, thyme and simmer 15 mins. covered) yummy

And an encore piece of zucchini layer cake with buttercream frosting. I gave some of it to the Nurse/LMT who does my MT/PT but I admit it---I ate most of it. What an oinkster.

I have gained 20 lbs. since DX....but then again, I could barely eat for so long, what's the harm, right? right.

now, where is that cake? uh oh, hubs has my plate!! whathe......hey, give that back!!!!

[Marilyn R]

I think the rice pasta gets too mushy. I can't remmeber the brands but there are some rice mixed with corn that stand up better. The quinoa kind might, too, if you like it.

Thanks, Karen!

I don't know how you survive without all of us just showing up on your doorstep to be fed.

I decided to have pancakes and some leftover sausage for supper, far too tired after work to bother with any real cooking.

Are you kidding? I'd LOVE the company! C'mon over!

Truth be told, when I was very sick for 3 years and unable to eat much or cook like I really can because of serious brain fog and weakness, meals around here were BLAND and BORING--poor hubs!

So I am making it up to him! It was my cooking that attracted him in the first place. ...so the story goes.....

I arm-wrestled him for it and won. (he's a foot taller and weighs 80 lbs. more than I do) but when there's cake involved....

SUPERBOWL (go PATS! )

4-cheese white pizza with garlic and broccoli for a "starter"(really testing that "lactose tolerance" thing today )

Marinated Lamb, coconut sticky rice, sauteed chard.

Rice pudding? Tapioca? hmmm....no wait....No dessert. I am out of control.

[IrishHeart]

Hey! Know what?

I miss LOVE2TRAVEL's meal posts.

Although my keyboard is less icky from all that drooling.

Hope she's having fun.

Yes, I picked the Pats for my pool and I am not a Manning fan (sorry for those of you who are!). Out of control?? It's Super Bowl Sunday, woman! Let her rip!

We are going to a gathering (lucky for me there will be two folks with Celiac there so everything except for one dish (from someone I don't trust cuz they don't get it. "you mean there are gluten in goldfish crackers?") will be gluten-free and made from those I trust.

We are having Chili, the fixings, jalape

We are going to my mom's house tonight to watch the Superbowl (apparently I'm supposed to root for the Giants) and I am making Bacon Cheeseburger Dip, Peanut Butter Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and some oil and vinegar cole slaw. My mom said that pretty much everything she makes will be safe too and I trust her so it should be some good eating tonight!
