What's for Dinner ~ Monday March 18th

[pinto]

Hey Lucinda! I know you've got other things on your plate, so to speak, so opened Monday's meal thread.

Take care.

1. lemon cake from scratch. that's it. making baked cauliflower for tomorrow, with tuna casserole.

[Laurian]

8. My kind of cook! Sometimes all I want is a good

dessert, but I usually feel compelled to make a full meal for my husband. Sometimes I wish I could just shake off that feeling of obligation to follow traditional patterns.

2. Roasted whole chicken

with garlic and herbs, surrounded by celery, carrots, and turnips. Fresh baked french bread baguette. Garden Salad.

3. Two bowls of corn flakes.

I don't feel like cooking or even heating anything up today.

5. Scrambled eggs with veggies.

I meant to make some soup, but never got around to it. I guess that will be tomorrow's entertainment, along with some bread baking.

6. Chicken tortilla soup.

And refried borlotti beans.

I don't bother to fry tortilla strips anymore for tortilla soup, I just break nachos into it, which makes it much easier to clean up.

13. I do the same thing

I always have a bag of locally made low-salt tortilla chips in the house, so I just crumble some of those in.

Altho I must say that frying the tortilla strips makes a kitchen smell like a tacqueria, and I miss that.

7. Well, I forgot to get the beef and barley soup started early enough

so, hamburgers.

[Laurian]

9. Spaghetti and Meatballs with

salad and bread. Ice cream is available for dessert.

[pinto]

10. Corned beef hash and eggs.

[bif]

11. Reheated Tilapia Veracruzana

It was almost as good as it was on Saturday!

[grasswire]

12. migas with fresh pico de gallo and caramelized tomatillos

Migas is a tex mex omelet made with crumbled tortilla chips, onions, and lots of cheese. I covered it with chopped cilantro and cherry tomatoes.

[bif]

15. I am doing this tomorrow night!

Thanks!

14. Catalan Spinach

Have you ever had this? It's spinach cooked in garlic-flavored olive oil and then combined with pine nuts and sultanas. Totally outrageous.

Then some cod with sauce.

Walnut-apple pie for dessert.

17. Comfort food.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes with steamed corn on the side. It snowed here again today and I'm so tired of it. I'm ready for April.
