🌹 Still trying to get it right.
Well hopefully the chicken that I didn't make yesterday.

Whats on the menu for you today?
 
I'm thinking a Burgundy Beef Stew, but it's still up in the air till I see what the butcher has today............
 
This is my weekend to work.
I've been taking large flour tortillas to work with me and making wraps off the salad bar in the main dining room.
It beats running out for grub and spending $$ when I don't have to.
Healthier too.
Hopefully they'll have some tuna salad today, or at least the chicken salad so I can make a big fat one. :D
 
Lou and I are going to Aureole in NYC tonight. It's a Charlie Palmer restaurant. Got a very happy 300 buck gift certificate from my ex husband for my birthday. We have to use it or lose it!! We're dining in the bar room, which has an a la carte menu, as opposed to the dining room, which is prix fixe.
 
I have chicken and bell peppers marinating in olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce, and a bit of Dijon mustard to keep it emulsified. We'll grill them later, and make green salad from the garden and couscous for the sides.
 
CalCook, I've always wanted to try a white gazpacho, but I've never eaten it, so I don't have any basis for trying or choosing a recipe.

It you have a good TNT recipe, would you share it here?

And maybe a pic. :hide:
 
Eggplant Enchiladas! Only this time I used green enchilada sauce (version in photo uses red sauce). One of my all-time favorite vegetarian dishes (non-vegan for those of you who care about that sort of thing).

Well I made a wrap at work.
It consisted of shredded cheddar, fresh spinach, diced tomato, diced onion, a few slices of cucumber and chopped boiled egg-- with a little creamy Italian dressing.
Not bad.
I had a peach yogurt later.

that sounds yummy sass!! I have left over chicken cutlet and all of that except the cuke and dressing. I have some of the lemon sauce left over also which I can loosen up with a small amount of olive oil to make a lemony dressing. I bought these pretty good tasting low fat/low carb wraps that are super thin and easy to roll (and they don't crack or rip). I think you just gave me my lunch tomorrow thanks!!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm beautiful burger piglet!!

I bought a pound of ground bison and I can't decide what I want to make with it - burger or meat loaf either served with fresh creamed baby spinach.

Like my "oink oink" plates??? :lol:

I'd do burgers with 1lb of Bison. I think a meatloaf should be at least 2 lbs, but mine are typically 3-4 lbs done on the grill. Bison makes GREAT burgers. A little lean, but oh so tasty!

my meatloaves are usually 3 lbs also. the bison came in vac sealed 1 lb packages on sale $4.99 lb/pkg and there was only 1 package left. I was going to mix it with some ground beef if I made a loaf (for a low fat meatloaf).

thank you keltin!! you have moved on from bowl to plate envy!! LOL

That is a heavy microwave safe plate that I got for $1.00 at the Dollar store. I only bought 1 for picture taking because they are thick and heavy. I like my thin light Corelle plates that don't break so easily. I am thinking of going back for 1 bowl.

WOW! That is a good price! Ground Bison goes for 8.99 per lb here! That would make a tasty loaf to mix Bison and Beef....maybe even add 1 lb of ground pork (or lamb) to give you 1 lb of each meat.

I've tried Ellie Kreiger's. It was okay, but wanted to duplicate the taste from a restaurant. Would have preferred a smoother taste -- maybe using a yogurt combo of sorts. Will work on tweaking.

The dinner menu/plan was...

White gazpacho
melon, prosciutto, avocado salad
shrimp tortillitas
coconut/lime rice pudding w/ sliced mangos

...until I threw my back out. :sad:

Sorry, no pics :dizzy:
