Dinner, Last Day of September 9/30/15

[bethzaring]

I am making a BBQ meatloaf, with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. I guess I have been too proud of seeing the beautiful crop of carrots in one raised bed; we need to eat them!


What are you fixing?

Hello , it's a rainy day here . We are having hamburgers and onion rings .

 

[Andy M.]

I'm making a scampi-like shrimp dish with roasted red peppers and pasta.

 

[Chef Munky]

Roast beef dinner.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Oven braised pork chops and cabbage salad.

 

[Cheryl J]

I roasted a pork shoulder yesterday, so will have some of that for dinner. I think I'll roast some cauliflower and cinnamon sweet potato wedges to go along with it.

 

[Dawgluver]

I made a big pot of refried black beans, so it may be a Mexican dinner kind of night.

 

[GotGarlic]

The plan is to make frutti di mare (a seafood mix cooked in tomato-white wine sauce over angel hair pasta. Garlic toast and green salad on the side.

The slow cooker is busy cooking a new recipe, Michael Symon's Cleveland Kielbasa Stew. Nice choice for a gloomy day with dropping temperatures. I've been debating if I want to make salads or not. If I don't start one NOW, it will be to late to make them. Oh, well, no salads then.

I love that kind of a recipe CG. That's the kind of food I grew up with. I bet your kitchen smells fantastic!! I can't wait for cooler weather here. I never serve salad with that kind of a one dish meal.

I'll be doing pork chops but I'm not sure how just yet.

 

[GotGarlic]

I love stew, I love kielbasa and I love Michael Symon! Copying that one, CG!

'twas yummy. Very tender. Chocolate/Peanut Butter ice cream for dessert.

 

[Cheryl J]

CG, that Kielbasa Stew recipe you posted does sound good! I'll try that this winter. Or fall.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Ladies, hold up on making that recipe. It was definitely "meh". Neither of us thought it tasted great. It's good enough to finish the leftovers, but this is one recipe that is getting dumped from my file. However, YMMV and you might enjoy. It's up to you. It did look pretty, though.

I can highly recommend a different Michael Symon/Chew recipe, though. Made this a couple of times last winter and will definitely be making it again now that the weather is getting cooler. Michael Symon's Orecchiette with Sausage & Swiss Chard

And now a photo of tonight's supper:

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Kalua Pig (Pork) with Cabbage over steamed white rice
and Lomi Lomi Salmon (this time with just regular Roma Tomatoes)

How does that old saying go?
The mother of invention is necessity
This meal was all scratch made

Dessert later is Apple Crostata

Awww. What did you not like about it? I wonder if using grainy mustard instead of mustard seeds would work better.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

I dunno GG, because for the most part the flavors should have complimented each other. It just didn't taste "right". Specifically? Neither of us can put our fingers on it. Maybe the mustard would have been better. If I'm the one finishing it up, I'll try to remember to stir a little bit in when I'm reheating.

I don't really follow a recipe exactly very often, but I'm sure glad I did this time for the sauce.
The Dijon sauce was just perfect for two thick brined chops. It would be too skimpy for four. This is a keeper....
