What's for Dinner? March 2012

[Laury]

Tonight is frozen pizza and cucumber salad. Last night ended up being mixed nuts.

Black beans and brown rice with cornbread. Maybe a salad.

We are having leftover veggie stew. Glad my family loves this stew, cuz I made enough for a small army.

Morning Everyone!

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY TO ALL

Another gorgeous day here, 86 and sun. Going to do a bit of yard work, work on some household projects and enjoy the day. Spring Break down here, so the beaches are packed ... staying clear of that. May strap on my blades and head out east a bit. A little exercise would be nice.

A Green Beer lunch with friends, then -

Dinner ... What else. CBC
I make mine in the crock with Guinness, a few cloves, bay leaf and plenty of fresh spices and peppercorns.
Half way through, add the carrots, spuds and onions. Then, finish it the last 1 1/2 with the cabbage wedges.

Thicken the sauce a bit to serve on the side and of course a creamy horseradish sauce and for my friends, a little good stone ground mustard.

Dessert, I made brownies (yes, a box), but I jazzed them up with coffee, creme de menthe and drizzled a chocolate sauce and a creme de menthe glaze too. They taste good to me.
---------------------
Bread and brownies are done, the CBC is ready to go.

ENJOY your day everyone!

On the side - Guinness Beer Bread with caraway seeds and caramelized onion bits. Served with Irish butter.

Tonight is mini reuben appetizers - so excited, I LOVE them. And I wanted another appie, so I bought some tiny little potatoes. I will steam them and then sprinkle with bacon and cheese, melt in the oven and top with green onion and sour cream. Hey, potatoes are Irish! LOL.

Sounds good D - sounds like a nice plan.

No Irish based food over here, unless you consider that even the Irish love mexican food. We are having tacos.

Edited whole post based on reality...My refrigerator is full of leftovers on purpose. Tonight we're having the baked cod with basil sauce, crab and asparagus salad, and some leftover sweet peas. Then I go to work for what will end up being a 36ish-hour day (loading out Laugh Fest tonight, then tomorrow all day will be the Black Keys).

Morning Everyone!

Well, my friend left this morning after we went out for brekkie. I was with him yesterday and he and 3 others came for dinner. It was lots of fun. Too much Irish Whiskey - but a good time.

Another winning weather day 85 and sun, heading out for some yard work, and then some general clean-up/catch-up around here.

I was going to make turkey soup, but I think I'm going to wait. I found out I have to work a few odd hours this week, so I will be on the go for lunch. I can always make it later this week. No bread today either, I still have a loaf in the freezer (white, I made 2 last week)

I'm also going to make some ravioli today. Ricotta, mozz, parm, spinach and mushrooms. Easy to make and great to freeze and have on hand. Just using wonton skins.

Dinner:
Baked Fish and Veggies in a foil pouch ... making a tutorial for this.
Tilapia, zucchini, carrots, onion, lemon, fresh dill and white wine over spinach, wrapped in foil and baked.
Served with rice and fruit.
