I'm making my special greek shrimp and pasta dish. DH absolutely loves it. A few months ago, I made it for lunch for a friend and she wouldn't leave without the recipe.

Really all it consists of is: Mushrooms cooked in butter and/or olive oil with spices such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika. Than some Kalmata Olives, some juice of the olives and some lemon juice mixed into the pan. When that's all cooked - you throw in the shrimp. Of course in the mean time - you boil water and cook up some pasta. You mix it all together and throw in LOTS of feta cheese and woalla!!!!

 

[YT2095]

Lamb chops, new potatoes and minted peas (and plenty Gravy of course).

salads of arrugula, mesculun, basil, tomatoes, cukes, and zucchini, all from mine and my neighbors' gardens. (i traded arrugula and mesculun lettuces for cukes and early tomatoes ), dressed in evoo and balsamic.

Yikes! My Omaha Steaks etc arrived yesterday - brats, steaks, kebobs, cheesecake etc, etc. I had to do a juggling act to get everything into the freezer -- plus I have shrimp, sirloin burgers, fillets, won tons/dumplings, salmon, chicken, red potatoes, fresh corn on the cob. You name it, it's in the fridge. Who wants to come over with a big fork All I can think about right now is the cheesecake and my fresh strawberries. Get back to you later.

I usually use cut up portobello's. There's another kind I use sometimes too, but I can't remember now. My brain isn't working right now as far as mushroom names. However, I'm sure other mushrooms would be fine too.

 

[redkitty]

Quorn sausages with sauteed kale, asparagus and portobello's

 

[pdswife]

We are having Persain. Cooked by an old Persain gentleman. GOOOOD food made with love. Can't wait.

Tonight we are celebrating my daughter's bday. She chose the menu.

Crab and herb cheese stuffed in endive
Shrimp cocktail

Bacon smashed potatoes
Marinated flank steak
Broccolini with lemon

NY cheesecake with fresh strawberries

Too bad it is so hot here. Not much in the mood for anything more than cold salad and melon.

 

[GrillingFool]

My first attempt at cedar plank grilled salmon, with a Maple Ginger glaze;
mushroomed wild rice, broccoli of some sort, or grilled cauliflower maybe.

 

[middie]

White chciken chili with some french bread.
Yum

 

[Constance]

We're having re-runs tonight...seafood pasta with grilled salmon and sea scallops.
It's cooled off and the humidity is way down, so since we don't have to cook, I'm going to get outside and work on my plants. I have an enormous bromeliad that has to be divided, and it's gonna be a booger to get into.

 

[JohnL]

Tonight it's pork chops, smothered in onion, garlic, tomato, celery, okra, bell pepper, jalopeno pepper, S&P, oregano, basil and white wine over basmati rice, with a nice cold beer. (sure been hot and muggy here)

[texasgirl]

Chicken Wellington, velveeta mac and cheese and cheesy mashed potatoes

 

[Katie H]

Hey, texasgirl, isn't that Velveeta mac and cheese delish? Buck and I had it just a couple of days ago. And so easy, too. Did you use Velveeta in the potatoes, also? Sounds yummy. We're cheese lovers in this house. Everything is better with...cheese. Even if it is Velveeta. I think Velveeta has been much maligned. It's great stuff.
