A slightly earlier start.

What are you guys planning for dinner tonight?

SO expressed a desire for hot dogs so we're having pizza!:LOL:

Just kidding. Dinner tonight will be hot dogs and maybe some baked beans.
 
Glad to see you survived your spotted/striated avocado, Andy. ;)


I have brats and 'kraut bathed in beer simmering in the crockpot. I'll bake and mash a couple of potatoes later, along with roasting a dozen small beets and a pan of Brussels sprouts. Leftover bread pudding at the end, where it will then head promptly to my "end". :glare:
 
I have a chuck roast in the fridge, Thinking about cutting it up and making carne guisada or chili.
 
DH is teaching a class tonight so he'll be home late, and my dinner group meets on Tuesdays now, so I'm going out. Will probably have a burger and onion rings. I'll make a salad for DH before I go and he can heat up some leftover lasagna after he gets home.
 
I'm officially turkeyed out - froze the rest it yesterday. Tonight's dinner will be good ol' Mexican food. :yum: Not making it though, I'm just going to call in an order to my fave little Mexican restaurant and go pick it up. Cheese enchiladas, a pork tamale, and of course rice and beans. Yum.
 
Lamb shanks in wine reduction with cauliflower and cheddar mash. It felt a little like dinner at the Flinstones tonight. Yabba-dabba-doo!

Eggplant and a salad.

Steve, How do you prepare your cauliflower cheddar mash? I'm thinking that might go nicely with my Christmas ham. :yum:

Oh, I make it pretty much the same as mashed potatoes. I just steam a bag of frozen cauliflower for 6-7 minutes until it's... well... "mushy" I guess is the right word. Then I mash it with 2 tbsps butter and about a half cup of grated cheddar. If it needs a little more moisture, you can add some half and half. It doesn't usually need more than a pinch or two of salt because there's a lot in the cheese. That's about it.
 
I'm roasting some fresh cauliflower with chopped garlic, thyme, s&p, tossed in avocado oil. May shred some parm over top.

Thanks!

I'll give it a try!
