What's for Dinner, Wed., Oct. 22, 2014

[NJCher]

I will carry on with my cooking projects from last night: make my cauliflower crusts, possibly make soup, and I want to do stuffed peppers tonight.

Cauliflower crusts are delicious, but they are a lot of work: first making the "snow," (that's separating the flower from the stem, then running it very briefly through the food processor), then steaming it, and after that, squeezing out the water. Plus you need a lot of cauliflower to do anything much.

Last night my salad turned out so well I made another one of the same for lunch: romaine, apple, green grapes, orange, celery, blue cheese and toasted walnuts. I used Marzetti's fruit salad dressing.

2. Cheese ravioli

I pulled out a couple of sausages from the freezer this morning before work, and I'll put them in a quickie red sauce when I get home. Nothing fancy.

3. Roasted veggies. I've got a mess to cook up. The end of a baked chicken to run under the broiler.

Potatoes, carrots, beets, bell peppers, etc. I think I'll wrap some apples, cinnamon, brown sugar and butter in foil to bake for a finish.

4. Chicken and mushroom crepes.

This definitely a 60s housewife dish. My mother used to make them and our family enjoys them. Except I got lazy and am using egg roll wrappers instead of crepes.

5. Peanut butter pancakes and pepper bacon. :-) n/t

6. is the pepper bacon from Trader Joe's?

I stopped and bought a couple packages of it tonight. I like it 'cuz it is no-nitrate, but it does use celery seed as a preservative and one of my health-nutrition sources says that's just as bad as nitrates.

Never heard of peanut butter pancakes!

Welcome to both you and jenoch. Stick around; this is a fun daily thread.

7. Not TJ's, (we don't have one local) just the meat counter at Jewel.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

8. Pork chops

Our Giant Eagle has started to stock locally raised pork, so we're encouraging them by buying a lot of it. Braised red cabbage on the side.
