TTC After a Loss

WFD?

Dh asked me to make him chicken and dumplings so I pulled up a recipe on allrecipes and I'm working on that!


What's on your menu for tonight?

Re: WFD?

  • It's just me all week, so I'm eating a lot of fish because it's fast and easy and husband doesn't like fish anyway. 
    Tonight I'm doing foil baked salmon, asparagus, and buttery noodles with a salad.

    I love fish. We make it pretty often actually. What do you season your salmon with?
  • Skinless sausage, green pepper, onion and diced tomatoes stewed with a little olive oil, salt and pepper!

    hahaha

    that sounds like us actually ;)

    We're really competitive when it comes to sausage. It's because each of our families make/made their own and depending which part of italy you're from will predict the contents. So, clearly my family and me are all about the fennel while his family poo poos are fennel and swears by chili pepper.

    do you have a recipe? We eat a ton of chicken and some night I really struggle with being creative with it.

    For the foil baked salmon I usually just stick to salt and pepper and sometimes old bay.  I squeeze some lemon juice on it and top with a pat of butter before wrapping it in the foil.
    It comes out so tender and yummy!

    @sarcaztic10 Oooh yum! Homemade Chex Mix is pretty easy - and hard to mess up. :) I like playing with the seasonings in it - more garlic and onion, and then I put some chili powder in to add a little spice - DH loves spicy things. Good luck!

    @CFearsy Oh Panera...yummmm. We have one opening soon in my city. It's been sitting there, taunting me - cannot wait for it to open! Feel better!

    AFM...going to rock some Kraft Mac & Cheese tonight. Hubs is away, so I'm all by myself. Also on the sick boat, so quick and easy is the name of the game tonight.
    OMGERRRRR! Kraft macaroni and cheese!! That sounds so good. Am I allowed to change my answer?? :P

  • All of this sounds so good.  I will be at work until 8 so I think take out somewhere is it.  MH will be with me so I cannot even ask him to cook!

    ------------- Calling it KD is SOOOOO weird! @Amybunny30 taught my that and even showed me pictures of the box! But the more important question is WHYYYYYY is it forbidden, @PinkCamino‌?!
    MIL fucked him up.

    He was very sheltered food wise until he met me. So, all condiments (ketchup, mayo, mustard, relish) were totally foreign to him. He had never eaten chinese food, sushi, indian food. Basically he grew up eating italian food 100% of the time.

    He's come a long way - he now eats everything above no problem. But, Kraft Dinner is still a no-no. He "tried" it once, snorted at the color and then ended up getting a migraine. Just the smell makes him dry heave. So yah, not KD in this house.

    @pinkcamino I get thema ll at Zehrs (loblaws your way?) in the frozen section.  The samosa are a PC ver samosa. and the cigars I believe are PC as well.  The dumplings are not, but are in the same section.
    are they potstickers? I've bought some frozen dumplings and wasn't crazy about the filling. I'm weird about those things.

  • Mmmm KD (I've never heard it called this before!) is my favorite. Add beanie weenies and I love the world. Some things I will never grow out of :D

    @CFearsy‌ I hope you feel better, my voice was gone for almost 2 weeks and I sounded like Mickey Mouse :(

    I feel so worthless in these dinner threads and I feel bad for MH because I just don't cook. So dinner was the other half of my steak that MH grilled yesterday with stir fry veggies and a salad. I did make MH a baked tater though... So pathetic lol
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

  • Mr. Bug has decided that he would like to try the Mediterranean Diet (which is amazingly close to what we were already doing . . . ) so, we are having a chopped Greek salad with chicken for dinner tonight.

    Here's a pic from the recipe:

    @rubysi: So stinkin' cute!!! Recipe??

    I just got home and am making super easy kung-pao chicken. Best part? It's about 5 min hands on...and 30 min hands off :-)
    Recipe: Makes 6 Chicken and 6 Vegan wide mouth half pint mason jar pies. 
    Filing: 
    3 chicken thighs 
    1.5 c soy curls 
    1 c celery diced 
    1 c carrots diced 
    1 c onion diced 
    1 leek approx 1/2c chopped 
    1.5 cans coconut milk 22.5 oz 
    3 russet potatoes 
    2 tbls olive oil 
    2 tbls flour 
    1 tbls better than boullion no chickn base 
    1 tbls herbs de provance 
    1 tsp thyme 
    1 tsp white pepper 
    Pinch of salt Fresh ground pepper to taste 

    Because I am making this for two different diets I cook the chicken away from everything.  Boil chicken in salted water for 10 to 12 min. Remove from heat dice and set aside. Reconstitute soy curls in warm salted water.  I broke the soy curls before soaking, it seemed easier thn chopping later. Boil potatoes in salted water till just soft.  In a large pot heat oil.  Chop veggies. Add to pot with a pinch of salt.  Cook until soft add herbs and coconut milk and cook down approx 5 min. Sprinkle flour and I mean sprinkle or you will have disgusting clumps.  Split mixture in half and add meat. 

    Pie crust family recipe: make 2 batches. They need to be done seperately they don't come together otherwise. 
     2 c flour 
    2/3 c crisco 
    1 tsp salt 
    8 tbs water 
     Prepare at least an hour before you need it. Mix flour and salt.  Use your fingers no tools needed.  Add crisco bury it in flour and pinch small pieces of shortening continue process until total mix is crumbs.  Add water.  This is where everything can go wrong add 6 tbls of cold water mix by hand if it does not easily come together add another tbls. Repeate as needed. Refrigerate for at least an hour. 

    Roll out pastry. Use mason ring to cut 12 tops. Use remaining dough to fill jars presskng everything tightly together.  Add filling leaving an inch from the top. Cut vent using a small cutter,  fork or knife whatever works for you.  Use fork to press the top to the sides. Place ina cold oven set to 350 degrees and cook 45min to 1 hour. Let cool 20 minand enjoy.
