Whats cooking Monday April 26, 2010?

Maybe something with the leftover chicken, maybe eggrolls and rice.. don't know for sure yet.. don't feel too inspired right now..
 
Congrats to Sass Muffin, you are our entrant for today in the Win an NCT Apron Contest. Since Peeps already had 3 entries (thanks to SS') you were the next member to post after peeps. Good job!!!!! :thumb: :tiphat:

As for dinner, I've no clue what that will be yet.
 
Baked chicken breasts and mushrooms and a crisp salad. Not sure
how the chicky chicks will get flavored up quite yet......
 
I'm trying to decide between beans and rice, or chicken. Not sure which. I was going to do fish, but got skunked today.
 
leftovers from yesterdays roast

SS made a beautiful spinach and mushroom omelet the other day that really looked good and since DH wanted breakfast for dinner, I made spinach, mushroom, bacon and cheese omelets with sliced tomatoes, hash browns and biscuits.

Beef kebabs (from Kansas City or Omaha steaks? - tossed the wrappings). I marinated in teriyaki sauce & garlic, threaded on skewers w/ mushrooms, onions & peppers. Put them on grinder rolls (from the bakery), topped w/ mozzarella & heated til the cheese melted. Wedge fries on the side.

BEAUTIFUL!! OMG that looks fantastic!!
 
My daughter requested Lodi Buffet for her birthday dinner. So that was the families dinner. I had a small amount of the great fried rice and 1 piece of fried chicken wing then went home and had a Dole Asian Salad Kit (It was YUMMY, the dressing and the toppings are great!!)

I made roast duck with orange sauce, pan sauteed asparagus, and rice. It was my first time roasting a duck, and it came out very nicely. I used some of the duck fat to saute the asparagus, and then I saved the rest. I don't know what for, but I remember reading that duck fat was really good stuff.

duck confette (sp) i think you simmer duck pieces in the duck fat but i am not positive.
 
DH and I went out to eat. I had a delicious Salsburry Steak with steamed squash and broccoli, and DH had Liver & Onions with mashed potatoes and steamed squash and broccoli. He realized, tonight, he does not like Liver & Onions. Ha-ha! :yum:

Duck fat is brilliant for roast potatoes. If you have enough, you can confit something, like duck legs - it's a slow poach, usually in the oven. You can also confit vegetables. Whats is amazings is that the food is not greasy.
 
I just watched a show on FoodNetwork a little while ago about the best things they ever ate - Guilty Pleasures and Michael Symon said that his favorite is Gravy Frites. French Fries fried in duck fat, covered in mozzarella cheese and gravy :ohmy:

I keep a jar of duck fat in the back of my fridge. It really is great for sauteing potatoes, vegetables, or eggs. My only problem is that I forget to use it. The olive oil is right next to the stove, and I reach for it all of the time. Periodically, I rummage through the fridge and find the jar of duck fat, right next to the jar of bacon fat, and say,"Oh yeah, I have to remember to use these". Then I put them back in the fridge and immediately forget about them.:pat: Fortunately, they keep almost indefinitely.
 
We had an easy dinner last night - beef tamales and chimichurri rice with veggies from Trader Joe's. I added some sauteed onions, bell peppers and garlic to the rice.
