[Bolas De Fraile]

Croatia v Italy

It's the big one tonight and I'm on a promise if Croatia win (M promised the second question on the Jeremy Kyle lie detector if they draw)

I brined up a turkey breast, pork fillet and a piece of bp.It went in the smoker a few hrs ago.

 

[Jessica_Morris]

Today I have to visit my Endocrinologist for a check-up on my Diabetes. So that means I'll be exhausted by the time that I get back home tonight so there will be no cooking for me. We found this local place that is run out of a Chevron gas station called Uncle Frank's BBQ and they have brisket (that's smoked for 30 hours) Chicken breast, Sausages, Pulled Pork, Ribs etc. We'll be stopping by there today on the way home to get food for our family & my parents! Yummy, I can't wait!

 

[Bolas De Fraile]

I hope you get a good result as well Jess, if we had an Uncle Frank's near us it would help me with my bronchitis

Looking for inspiration still...pork or chicken available. I don't feel like doing anything with ground beef.

 

[LPBeier]

Going to tackle a tuna loin. Thinking of encrusting in sesame seeds and searing, then serving on a hearty salad with an Asian style vinaigrette.

I don't know what kind of pork you have, but a few weeks ago I tried a Mexican coffee rub on a pork tenderloin, seared and finished it in the oven. We sliced it and made the most awesome tacos! I can post the rub if you want it!

I have thin little bone in chops. I'd need to do something to moisten them. I'd LOVE the recipe for the rub though. I buy lots of tenderloin when its on sale and will definitely use it.

Thanks, Yeah I think Uncle Frank's can help with just about any kind of illness or disease Plus they've got this delicious strawberry cobbler - that is amazing but FORCES me to take lots and lots of EXTRA insulin.

[Barbara L]

Our friend asked us to come over tonight, so I have no idea what we will be having. I think we will be having chicken leg-quarters, but not sure what else.

 

[jabbur]

We'll do leftovers here. Have spaghetti and sweet and sour chicken and rice.

 

[CraigC]

Cuban sandwiches for us tonight.

I will post it shortly - need to get our main meal (at lunch) going.

For dinner I am either going to have mushrooms gratin or Kade's stuffed mushrooms TNT. I am leaning towards the stuffed ones as I haven't had that before. Still not able to tackle any pork or beef and can only have one meal of fish a day - will be happy when they figure this pain and swallowing stuff out so I can eat properly......upside is all the weight I am losing

 

[DebLynn]

Making tostadas tonight.

Oven-baked corn tortillas, topped with refried beans, shredded chicken, queso fresco, tomato and shredded lettuce. Spanish rice made with achiote and red peppers for the side.

 

[Cerise]

Grilled lemon chicken tarragon salad, w/ celery, green onions, mayo, & pecans, stuffed in avocado halves, w/ green seedless grapes on the side.

Putting together a menu and shopping list for tomorrow. So far...

Pork Chops Marsala w/ baby bellas
egg noodles
asparagus

Sometimes I mix leftover pork or chicken with salsa and serve as tacos.

 

[GotGarlic]

I'm going to make grilled stuffed zucchini (which is from the garden) and serve with a salad and leftover grilled chicken. Will probably heat that up in foil on the grill.

 

[Dawgluver]

Cleaning out the fridge.

 

[DaveSoMD]

Leftovers, I think...not sure what's in the fridge...so if not leftovers the M-n-C and hotdogs.
