What's For Dinner?

[Marilyn. 340]

I am thinking of trying this recipe I have for Hungarian goulash...

I'm thinking of trying this...Zucchini Bread (or muffins). This is from VeggieBlogs.com...a vegetarian forum. I'm not vegetarian, but I am trying to incorporate more veggies in our diet. Methinks I would cut down on the sugar and use local honey instead.

Ingredients

-3 eggs (if you don't want to use eggs, then you can use egg substitute, like Egg Beaters.)

-1 cup canola oil

-2 cups sugar

-2 cups grated zucchini

-2 tsp vanilla

-3 cups flour

-2 tsp baking powder

-1 1/4 tsp salt

-1 tsp baking soda

-3 tsp cinnamon

-1 1/2 cups nuts (optional)

Directions

-Preheat oven to 375 (for muffins) or 350 (for bread).

-Mix the first 5 ingredients in one bowl and mix the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

-When both bowls are thoroughly mixed, slowly stir in the combined dry ingredients into the egg mixture bowl. Please be sure to thoroughly mix when both bowls are completely combined.

-For bread, this makes roughly two bread loaves worth. Pour mixture into bread pans and cook in oven for 1 hour.

-For muffins, this makes roughly 2-3 dozen muffins. Pour mixture into a muffin pan (if you're not using muffin paper, be sure to use Pam Spray to make sure the muffins don't stick), and cook for 12-15 minutes.

Change of plans for dinner tonight. I went to Mel's work with an ice chest to pick up 25 pounds of fresh shrimp that one of his co-workers caught. They are huge! I had to pull the heads off them and ziplock the ones that needed to go to the freezer. Yuck.

Mel's mom is in town and she is making them tonight. She is doing BBQ shrimp- which in New Orleans has nothing to do with BBQ. It is a butter sauce and then baked in the oven. I don't really care for them this way.

She will also boil some and make a remoulade sauce for them

Zuccini muffins/loafs are good, I always make the chocolate kind.

Well tonight is a small pot roast with carrots and potatoes and yellow beans.

Crock Pot Hungarian Goulash Recipe, that looks good I may have to try that some time.

grilled sausage and yellow rice tonight methinks!

[Marilyn. 340]

the goulash finished cooking... I have to wait till hubby gets home to eat it but I did try a little and it tastes good but it is verging on being a little too salty... it is ok but next time I think I would reduce the salt a little...

I experimented and made a pierogy casserole tonight. I laid frozen pierogies on the bottom of a casserole dish, covered them with thinly sliced strips of zucchini, added frozen mixed Chinese vegetables (there's a mixing of cultures for you!), the left over vegetable and tomato pasta sauce and pasta from last night (not enough for a serving), then covered it all with Vodka Cream spaghetti sauce (bottled version), romano cheese and baked 40 minutes in a 350 F oven. Yum- it was great! Of course, we had sliced cucumbers with it as well. (I am almost afraid to go out and harvest cucumbers tonight - I didn't harvest yesterday!)

Dessert - which will be a bit later when we are not so stuffed! - will be individual shortcakes with whipped cream covered with fresh raspberries and blueberries, and coffee.

Kathryn you always have the most delicious dinners, next time I'm in the Atlanta area I'm stopping by for dinner

Marilyn, I'm a huge fan of goulash, yet rarely make it! I'll try your recipe, with a little less salt...

Kathyrn, wow, that perogy (you spell it differently!) casserole sounds wonderful! Make-up recipes are the best eh?

We had turkey burgers last night with tater tots.

Tonight we're having crab cakes, an asian salad, and corn on the cob

[trailmix 77]

Well, shamefully, we had a big mac on Tuesday night and pizza last night haha.

We were actually going to have Thai food last night - but they have gone on holiday so closed the restaurant until next week

Tonight - normal food!!

and I think it would be good to brown the meat a little before throwing it in the crock pot...

what is this

[Marilyn. 340]

they are these dough things that can be filled with cottage cheese, mashed potato etc.. and they are either boiled or fried or a combination of both...

Tonight my housemates and I are having Haggis Pizza and Tiramisu for dessert.
