Monday, 1/24/2011, What's cooking?

I didn't cook tonight. We went to our fav Mexican restaurant and I had my all time favorite: Mexican Shrimp Cocktail...YUM!!

making a chili size , have leftover (not so great)caramel apple upside down cake. can't bring myself to just throw it away.

I have little smokies to use up so I am going to wrap them in bacon! Lol. My bf will enjoy throwing them on the grill, I'm sure. I'll probably put them in between two cooling racks secured by wire to they can all just be flipped as one. Or maybe make little smokey shish kabobs...should I put BBQ sauce on them, you think?

I am probably too late, but don't forget to sprinkle them with brown sugar too. Yum! Might as well have some sugar to go with the sausage and bacon.
For me tonight, I think it will be beef fajatas made with the left over roast beef from yesterday. Do you think it will work??? I have never used leftover roast for that, but it just sounds good tonight, and that leftover roast has to be eaten anyway...

I make fajitas from leftover steak. Not exactly a roast, but IMO fajitas are more about the seasonings and veggies.

 

[chopper]

Thanks! I am going to try it anyway. I am really hungry for the spices, the veggies, the tortilla...

Not sure here either. DH is teaching tonight and DS is coming to work on the computer (having connection issues with the modem). I told him I'd feed him if he'd fix the computer so I'll fix him his choice of dinners.

Got the router replaced so I made him Parmesan Chicken, roasted potatoes and green beans.

I mixed the leftover taco meat with the leftover wildrice mixture. I added a sprinkle of water to let it steam on low. I tasted it, but it was fine as is. I ate a mug full and froze the rest.

DH didn't get called in so we had pizza. Dad's and mine was a bought one that I added cheese and toppings to. It has always been good for emergencies. But not so great today so I am going to stick to homemade. I am thinking of trying to freeze the prepped raw pizza for a fast meal. DH used gluten free bagels and liked it.

Just so you know-you can use leftover roast and make some pretty good fajitas. They turned out just fine, and more tender than the steak.

Mmmmmm that sounds great! I didn't have a chance to go to the store for the bacon, so I'll have to do that next time.

I did sweet n sour chicken with spring onions, on top of steamed Jasmine rice and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and wasabi cashews. Pretty darn good.

 

[msmofet]

Pizza topped with tomato paste thinned with water, crumbled sausage, bacon, green bell pepper, onion, fresh garlic, mushrooms, fresh parsley, herbs, spices, ground red pepper flakes, mozzarella, grated Romano & Parmesan cheeses.

Sausage bread (browned sausage, fresh parsley, ground red pepper flakes, fresh grated Romano & Parmesan cheeses and mozzarella) layered and rolled jelly roll style in bread dough. The bread got a little browner then I like but it was good.

Must have been Pizza night. I bought a Digiorno Pizza. I have never tried one before. Considering the price and convenience can't beet it.

 

[merstar]

Penne in a mushroom/shallot/garlic/white wine sauce, topped with grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Green vegetable on the side.

i think they are quite good, also. still can't beat the chicken garlic at roundtable but sure is less expensive.
