Sunday Sinner Dinner - whatcha eatin' tonight?

[rodentraiser]

I'm just chopping up hotdogs to put in Van Camp pork 'n' beans with brown sugar, liquid smoke, onions, some other stuff as I think of it and throwing it all in the crock pot for dinner tonight.

I bought some port wine cheese to eat with crackers for dessert. It's been years since I ate port wine cheese.

Just finished some sardines in tomato sauce and that's all I'll have until dinner because I'm trying to lose a few lbs and because I was so good not eating anything else I just took some left over butter chicken from the freezer.

We're having shrimp in a white wine/butter sauce over pasta.

 

[KatyCooks]

I made Cuban style Citrus Pork with Black Beans, served with rice and avocado.

I made Hoosier stew for lunch and will be having it again for dinner. Not certain what Frank will be having. He does not enjoy string beans (or most cooked veggies)....and he did not like this sausage....and so...yeah...I have lots to enjoy.

 

[KatyCooks]

Very pretty looking plate @Kathleen !

 

[Kathleen]

Really easy thing to make, @KatyCooks. Potatoes, garlic, onion, butter, string beans, chicken broth, and a smoky-tasting sausage. Cook the onions in butter until they are tan-caramel in color. Stir in garlic. Add 1/2 cup water and let them cook down a bit more. Mix in the potatoes coating them well with the onion mixture. Add string beans and sausage and stir a bit more. Add about 4 cups of chicken broth and simmer until done. (Maybe 30 minutes.)

Went into town after church today and stopped at a Mexican restaurant. I had a chicken fajita quesadilla, Mexican rice, and sour cream salad.

We ended up ordering a pizza from a place we've found we really like. For all the pizza places we have around us, we can struggle for good delivery pizza.

Imagine my surprise when I found out Hoosier stew has no Hoosiers in it.

Not feeling too great today. Had a bad night last with arthritis discomfort and nonstop nightmares. I woke up more tired than I felt when I went to bed.

Took an hour's nap this afternoon and that helped.

Our meal was something I'd been mentioning to Glenn for a while...breakfast for supper.

I made Glenn soft scrambled eggs and biscuits. We both had bacon, and I made myself some poached eggs on toast. I'd been craving poached eggs for a while, and they really hit the spot.

I only ate half my eggs, but they'll reheat well for tomorrow morning.

Didn't waste the bacon grease. Turned it into creamed country gravy so Glenn can enjoy it on the few biscuits that were left. I have a feeling he'll do away with it tomorrow for breakfast

Scratch made chicken and dumplings. Classic old-time recipe and one of my all time favorites.

One thing I can guarantee is that it won't hurt your eyes...looking for the chicken. Bonus points for guessing what movie the above came from.

soup canned last year: potatoes, carrots, onions, corn, chickpeas, with hot sauce and a little salt.

I'm not feeling so great either. I'm snacking on some imperial rolls that I found in the freezer. I already munched one of the two pork with mushroom sausages that I roasted for yesterday's supper. I'm thinking about having some of the chanterelle soup I made yesterday. It's pretty good, but not enough better than a champignon soup to justify the difference in price between chanterelles and champignon mushrooms (AKA field mushrooms, button mushrooms, ... ) Here's a picture of the soup from yesterday.

Had the last of the pulled pork I made in August.

Sunday Pasta Supper

This is part of DH's birthday gift from moi.

 

[dragnlaw]

LOL, please tell me those are NOT anchovies but curled up fried sage leaves in browned butter with garlic and cheese?

Beautiful looking ravioli! Huge!

Edit: just looked close-up. LOL, guess not so big but I could still devour that bowl!

How sure are you of the ingredients in the sausage?

I made my homemade chicken pot pie. It was delicious! Having another helping for lunch today.

That's DH's Pasta Bowl and yes @dragnlaw those are Anchovy Fillets.
Somewhere along the way, I introduced him to and Olive Oil, (ssshhhh) Brown Butter & Garlic sauce on his pasta along with those little fishes on top of it all. If I had some Sage, believe me, I would add that too.

 

[Rocklobster]

Doesn't look great but it was pretty good. Especially when it was smothered in gravy.
