What's for dinner?

[fortworthgal]

Thought this would be a fun idea for a thread - what's for dinner?

I'll start off. Last night we had jager schnitzel, spaetzle, sauerkraut & beer (Anchor Porter). Tonight I've got chili in the slow cooker, and I'll make some cornbread.

I've been hungry for chili for a week. A 93 year old friend who can barely stand said he was going to spend the day "cooking, resting, cooking, resting... I'm hungry for good chili." And that did it. So now I'd better make some.

For us, we had stuffed porkchops, snap beans from the garden and turnip greens.

Tonight it will be baked fish, fried okra, and leftover snap beans and turnip greens with a few cherry tomatoes and peppers on the side.

But with the temps falling for us, I feel a good pot of soup is in the near future.

Last night we had chilli in the slow cooker and homemade corn bread. Everything in our house is cooked from scratch. Tonight we are probably having the rest of the chilli. It has been in the 30s and 40s and rainy lately. Good slow cooker weather.

^ I agree! Slow cooker/chili weather is my favorite time of year.

Is it normal to be craving chili this early in the morning? I know what ingredients I'm getting at the grocery next

Last night we had Ahi tuna (recipe) with baked rice and a salad of baby greens, figs and goat cheese.

I don't know what we're having tonight yet.... steaks or pasta probably, but I'll let you know

Tonight we're going to have a dish I call Eggplant. It's a mixture of my homemade tomato sauce, eggplant, peppers, okra, onions, zuchinni, and ground beef. I season it with a little basil, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Everything except the beef and the onion came from our garden (we ate all our onions weeks ago and cows wouldn't do good in our neighborhood ). I cook it in the oven. I serve it over sweet potato pasta (from a local company) and add a sprinkling of romano sheep's cheese.

I do batch cooking, so we'll be eating that for the next week or more.

Does anyone else here do batch cooking- where you take a day and cook one huge dish and serve it to your family for the next week or so?

Last night was Mexican at my home...no...we did not use any real mexicans for the food.....tonight is going to be roasted chicken (we have one of those rotisseries that slowly cooks and turns while the bird is inside), with some home made country chunky potato fries, corn bread, a nice tossed salad, and a veggie plate. Maybe a half hour later, we are going to have coconut custard pie and more coffee.

We do the cookies like that at times, but it is hard on the diet! (yummy)!

Chili is one of my household's favorite foods! For some reason even merely thinking about Chili makes a person hungry!
