What's for Dinner, Mon., Apr. 6, 2020

[NJCher]

Posting a little early due to working at greenhouse for the next few hours.

Potato-carrot soup with grated parmesan on top.

Sausages with onions, peppers, and cabbage in red sauce.

Dessert is dark chocolate with hazelnuts.

Spicy chai tea, for a change.

1. Very average pizza from across the street

I couldn't take it anymore

[SheltieLover]

4. I hear you!

I so miss going out to eat! I am high risk with enormous family responsibilities, so not taking any chances - even with take out foods. 😎

Was it good? 🍕🍕🍕?

[janterry]

6. as average as it was

it was excellent!

The first food not from our house in weeks. I just walked in and picked it up. I don't think there was any risk in in (I even wore a mask .

But it was kind of a relief!

[SheltieLover]

15. So glad you enjoyed it!

13. Wish I were another SIL. That sounds very nice!

Suits me fine today.

3. Sounds yummy!

Yesterday, I thawed a family size package of chicken breasts.

I cut 3 lenthwise & grilled those pieces on the foreman for lunch with potatoes & peas.

Put the other 3 larger pieces in pot with 2 packages of dried french onion soup with water, carrots, potatoes, celery fkakes & garlic, then made pasta to add to it for a yummy stew.

So I have leftover grilled meat for tacos &/or chicken with a vegetable & pasta on the side, likely with butter & garlic.

I prefer to cook bigger batches so I only need to do it every 2-3 days. 😊

This worked out really well for me.

5. This Recipe for vegan seitan fried chicken:

Had it before. It's sooo good.

and baked sweet potatoes

[janterry]

7. oh, I haven't made seitan in awhile

I usually make it in the crockpot

We have a ton of flour, too. I should make that this w/e. Thanks for the idea.

[mucifer]

8. yeah the great thing about seitan is you can buy vital wheat gluten and have it around

your home just like you have flour. When you want to make vegan steaks or fried chicken it's always there as long as you have the seasonings. It's pretty cheap, too.

[janterry]

12. I've made it with the gluten before

but I've also washed the flour down (to get to the gluten!) Messy, but sort of fun

[MissMillie]

9. I guess it's chicken stew

bone-in chicken thighs, browned, then simmered in gravy w/ carrots, green beans, onions and garlic. Served over baked potato.

Banana bread for dessert.

[Throckmorton]

10. Baked pork chops, brown rice

Homemade apple sauce, peas, and hot popovers.

[Hortensis]

14. Not hungry, but I have a husband to feed, so it'll

be defrosted braised pork roast and its broth served over noodles, topped with, instead of the usual arugula etc. from the market, thin-sliced bok choy leaves from the crisper and ripe loquats from our tree. Their flavor is mild but good.

Our daughter and her family bought me for my birthday the other day the Le Creuset braiser I've been coveting for years (but wouldn't buy myself), but the only person on the planet it's a priority delivery for is me, so it'll be a while before I see it. Happy, happy anyway. I do a lot of braises and stove-top dishes, such as this pork.

[SheltieLover]

16. Sounds delicious!

Enjoy!

Happy belated. 🎂
