What WAS on your Plate & What's for Dinner Tonight 1/4

Post by Kchurchill5 » Mon Jan 04, 2016 1:24 pm

Afternoon! Boy, I totally forgot how late it was.
Happy Monday!

I'm so glad I made comfort food last night. It was cold and rainy. Definitely hit the spot.

Lady #2: Her family is driving back home; so a 'TO GO' basket. She and family are having a big breakfast before they go. Then, a long drive home. They camped on the way down; so they have a grill with them. So, decided to make - Tomato soup; sliders ready to grill (adult toppings, blue cheese, onions/mushrooms (in a foil pouch); kids, lettuce, pickles); Greek orzo (foil pouch) for adults, cheesy tater tots in a foil pouch for kids; and, all the makings for S'mores. Tea and lemonade in water bottles frozen for the coolers; and, everything is disposable. Also, cheesy popcorn and fruit and granola mix; frozen grapes and apple slices for a snack. Breakfast burritos in foil ready to grill in the am; yogurt and granola cups.

Me: Mojo shrimp/tomato skewers; zucchini, summer squash, and onion skewers; scallion and herb rice. NO, rain today; back to the grill.

WHAT'S ON YOUR PLATE?

Cold in Northeastern Ohio today. So I made a big pot of chicken noodle soup and had some grilled cheese sandwiches with it.

Lovin ... soup is my go to when it is cold. NOTHING better than soup and sammy.
Brandie, chicken stir fry sounds tasty ... I had rice too; but, not a true stir fry. Sounds good to me!!
What are your favorite veggies to add?

I always loved bean sprouts and sugar snap peas ... my all time favorite!

My stir fries are always different too. I try new combos all the time.
http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/easy-s ... auce-12688 is a real simple sauce I use often.

My favorite combo, broccoli, water chestnuts, thin red bell pepper strips, bean sprouts, mushrooms (white or shitaki), chicken, beef or shrimp; and rice.
Sugar snap peas are my other favorite to add; and, I love to add red pepper flakes for some heat.

It's real simple; and common ingredients. If you want, give it a try. Just thought I would pass it on.

I like your thinking!!

I used to eat leftover fried fish with malt vinegar on saltine crackers when I was young. I know crazy; but, it was so good. I still do it now and then ... guilty!!
