What's for dinner?

[Miss sofia]

I batch cook all the time, as a working single parent, it's the only way forward.

Today i snaffled a huge crate of cooking apples from my neighbour, so i have made a pie, some crumble, baked apples for supper this evening, then cooked off the rest with sugar and cinammon and cloves and frozen it.

I tend to batch cook pasta sauces, stews, chilli etc, for the kids and freeze it, as it comes in very handy for the feeding of the five thousand. I tend to roast a few joints of meat at the beginning of the week too, so supper is pretty much done and dusted most nights.

Just found out...we are having 'meatloaf'...mashed potatoes...string grean beans....tossed salad...and iced tea. Banana pudding with vanilla wafers for dessert. Typical midwestern 'Hoosier supper'...but a menue that we haven't had in awhile. Probably because we tend to cook out on the grill quite a bit during the summer months.
Tomorrow night..."BBQ ribs"and coldbeer..one of my favorites!!!

Oh, you just inspired me to make baked apples stuffed with raisins and cinnamon for desert.

I had pasta with Pesto & parmesan. NAM NAM!

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.

I made chili two days ago...it's been dinner for two days in a row. I was really craving it! Tonight it'll be a classic three egg cheese omelet with a feta salad.

Great idea for a thread!

I'm not that much of a cook so tonight's fare is going to be something bare bones simple. Since it's just me, I often cook up a couple of cans of sardines (in olive oil) with diced tomatoes and serve it with couscous. It's surprisingly good.

V.C - i love sardines! Although i'm lucky if i manage to get 'em out of the can before i polish the lot off.

Sheeplady - Baked apples are the best! So easy and so delish. I have to thank my Mum for reminding me about baked apples as she's visiting at the moment and there is a baking frenzy going on in my house. Eve's pudding is great too, which is what we are having tomorrow. (Cooked, spiced apples or any fruit, in a dish, covered with sponge mix and baked in the oven, yum)!

Sardines are good, even more so when they no longer swim! I have had them the same way you are. I also like to toss them into a salad now and again, when I make a Cesare Salad.

Hi

How long at what temperature? I cooked several at a campfire and they were either burnt, or not quite done. I left three or four about 6 inches from the coals for about 45 minutes and they were great, or course we were all full by then.

Tonight I had the best curry chicken in the world that my neighbour was kind enough to share with me.
