What's For Dinner?

[Krikit 1,164]

^^^^^^ this sounds absolutely delicious !

Well, I don't really feel like cooking tonight. Our chicken last night was a bit dry - which is incredibly strange since I stuffed it with onion and lemon and it was in a pool of chicken stock. Anyway - it was all good none-the-less.

I picked up a pizza at the deli in Sobeys the other day, so I'm thinking pizza and salad for dinner.

You must try it..... Kids of all ages love it. And it's super easy to make.

Two possibilities for dry chicken.... it was in the oven too long. Or.... when it comes out of the oven it needs to be taken out of the pan, covered, and let sit for 15-20 minutes. (I put mine on a plate, cover it with tin foil, and let it sit in the microwave to help keep it warm.) That makes the juices rest and redistribute. If you cut into it too soon after taking it out of the oven, all the juices run out because they're still bubbling away in that hot chicken.

I have made something similar to that pizza soup and it is quite yum!! I should make it for hubby one day...

I didn't want to confess that, but now I feel I have to

I hear confession is good for the soul. Do you feel better now?

Came across this thread just as I am doing what......what else but cooking dinner: we are having some fried tilapia,collard greens,rice and corn on the cob. Just thought I would also make some blueberry muffins as a nice after dinner treat.

Do you make your own collards, Forchika? I'm trying to find a good recipe. Either that, or I'll have to keep experimenting until I get them to taste the way I like them.

Well.... since I have a most dreaded doctor appointment for something I just don't want to go into details about, the redhead is actually taking me out for dinner to a persian place

I just hope that when we come out of the doc's I don't feel like killing myself.

maybe...a little

I can't reach hubby so I have no idea if we are going out for dinner again tonight. If not, I think I will just broil some chicken breasts, make a salad and have Seeds of Change quinoa mix (french herb blend).

Oh nice. (Except for the dreaded doctor appointment.) I wish Florida was a bit more cosmopolitan sometimes. Good luck with your appointment!

Yes, I first get the water boiling in some smoked turkey and let them cook for a while maybe 30 mins. I even add a few of the chicken knorr cubes for extra flavor. Cook the greens for another hour, add some vegetable oil, most will add only salt but I like to add some sugar to the greens also, let them cook until the smoke turkey comes off the bone. Then you have some good southern home cooked greens. I always make them for Christmas dinner and everyone just love them.

salmon with fresh dill, roasted asparagus and red skinned potatoes...mmm

you guys put me to shame I guess I am more of a comfort food cook...

I am an awesome baker of goodies though

Let's see....chicken thighs cooked in brown rice cooked with chicken noodle soup, green peas on the side...hmmm, I'm thinking that's enough starchy foods (rice and peas) so I may skip the bread. Best part of this dish...I didn't have to make it. Joel put it all together (after I emailed him the directions) since he was off today.
