What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[mumto3girls]

Last night was pork carnitas with all the toppings and corn. Tonight was pasta, meatballs and Cesar salad.

Thank you! Sounds delicious. Not sure why he doesn’t fillet rainbow trout. He cleans them and the head is off, but the skin is still on and the bones. When he catches anything else he fillets them. We have eaten all the krappie fillets and I have 1 bag of perch fillets and probably 20 bags of rainbow trout that are not filleted. I am going to try your suggestion with the perch first since those are filleted.

This is a super way to make any kind of white fish - I really do think you'll like it. Come back and let us know. If you get to feeling fancy and want to go nuts (literally ) try this recipe for the classic Trout Almondine. It's pretty much the same dish garnished with some pan-toasted almonds and it's perfection!!

Tonight we are having tacos. I keep planning it but for one reason or another it gets pushed back

 

[ronandannette]

Back on plan tonight with a recipe from our meal subscription service. It’s some sort of burger with sweet potato oven fries and DS is doing the cooking.

Tonight is cheeseburgers and french fries. If we don't get blown away by a tornado....

Good Question!

I won't know until I either look in the refrigerator or go to the store tonight lol.

Made a shrimp tortilla topping minus the tortilla, LOL.
Cut up shrimps sautéed in smoked paprika and oil.
Topped with shredded cabbage slaw and a fruit salsa featuring blackberries and mango. Plated on a bed of baby spinach. Done and gone.

Dessert was a segmented clementine with a meringue kiss and blackberry purée.

I got the info from a pro and she suggested I pass it on to you:
Dorothy says it’s “Not time”

I am feeling better but I think DH is going back to the doctor. He hasn’t had much of an appetite. I took advantage of the beautiful weather and grilled chicken and served it with salad.

My DD found my grandmothers recipe box and wanted to make some things from it so we had lemon chicken, latkes and apple sauce, challah bread and a salad I threw together. I helped her but everything turned out very good.

Try filleting it, seasoning with salt and pepper and dusting it with flour. Pan fry in frothy butter until it's a little bit crispy. Deglaze the pan (add another tbsp. of butter if you need to) with the juice of a lemon and reduce for a minute or two. Pour this easy sauce over the fish and I bet both you and your DH will like it.

Back to report that I tried this tonight and I thought it was excellent. I had the perch fillets and he also brought home a few more trout and one was big enough to fillet (apparently with trout you lose a lot of meat when you fillet so only worthwhile if they are really big) so I made both. I actually thought the trout was a bit better tasting than the perch although both were very good. Husband liked it, but said a bit too lemony (it was not too lemony), but I can work with that. Middle DD said it would be better with chicken instead of fish. It probably would be good with chicken, but I am trying to use the influx of fish I have going on right now. Younger DD said she will never eat anything her father catches so she had fish sticks. And we had salad and Mac and cheese.

Thank you for the suggestion @ronandannette! I may try the almonds next time, but none on hand today.

Happy to hear it! As for your DD's suggestion, turn the basic recipe easily into chicken piccata. Do the same flour dredge and pan-fry; deglaze with a combination of chicken broth, white wine and lemon (play with it to your taste; about a cup of liquid all together); reduce for a few minutes and finish with a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of capers. Another easy but really, really lovely dish. Now that I think of it, if your DH found the fish a little too lemony, just substitute some of the lemon juice with white wine next time and it might suit him a little better.

Tonight is Swiss Chicken

 

[mumto3girls]

I think I am going to do Rosemary ranch chicken kabobs on the grill tonight. I took chicken out last night to thaw. Those are a regular here and almost everyone eats them except the vegetarian but she’s away at school most of the time. Probably a salad to go with and some sort of starch—potato or noodle.

Sounds delicious. I love fresh fruit in salads.

I didn’t make it but I picked up a salad for dinner last night that had apples, mandarins, cranberries, blue cheese crumbles, candied walnuts and grilled chicken….lettuce too of course.

Tonight is homemade New England clam chowder with some crusty bread and oyster crackers

Tonight is baked cheese ravioli and garlic bread.

Our county did go under a tornado warning for a short time last night. A small tornado touched down very briefly about 20 minutes away but did not cause damage (rural area.) They have decreased our risk to "slight" for tornadoes tonight, so that is good news.

Going out to dinner with my boss tonight. Wedge salad with steak bites on top and a margarita.

Yum!

Just finished making dinner: chicken and shrimp scampi soup. Great way to use up leftovers and lower the carbs simultaneously.
