We had a sheet pan meal, Garlic-herb butter chicken with potatoes, green beans, and mushrooms. Easy, minimal mess, and delish, a definite make again!

chili beans and macaroni, greens, crustless pumpkin pie with raspberry topping.

London broil, cut into strips, seasoned with kosher salt, pepper and garlic powder, browned in canola oil with a little bacon fat.

Cooked under pressure for about 20 minutes in beef broth, red wine and a little dried crushed rosemary. Beef, garlic and rosemary to me are a really sexy ménage a trois. Turned that broth into a gravy after the meat was done.

Instant mashed potatoes (sour cream & chives) and yellow corn, microwaved, topped with salted butter.

I did this while watching the last football game I'll see until August so yeah, I took every shortcut I could find. It tasted quite good.

In watching football, we had hotdogs!

I bought a ribeye roast for Christmas dinner. It was bigger than I needed so I cut off a big piece and froze it for a steak dinner. SO wanted steak so I pulled it out of the freezer and, VIOLA!

Sous vide ribeye, smashed potatoes and carrots.

When you cook under pressure, ensure that the food is not the only thing being imbibed in red wine

Paella (that looks like prison food)

Today, I had leftover pasta from last night, and some salad, from some leaf lettuce and herbs from the hydroponics.

I made a batch of pasta Saturday, after making that banana bread, using 2 lbs of creminis I had, and I found a recipe for it in an Instant Pot cookbook. It uses an onion, some garlic, and some white miso, and I changed the herb to fresh rosemary - something I always like with mushrooms. Stirring the pasta after initially cooking it 3 minutes, it absorbed much of the liquid the mushrooms gave off, and the starch gave it a coating, along with the miso. It went well with those medium shells I cooked in it. When I reheated it today, I tossed a tb or so of water with it, before re-heating in the MW, and it re-heated fine, with the sauce getting creamy again, and the pasta was still al dente

@pepperhead212 - that looks delightful.
Hmmm…sadness…there are many days where I wish I could just have a little try of everybody’s dishes.

The mussels originally to be two meals. Yesterday's portion it didn't happen so had to cook all of them today. Steamed them in a bit of leftover leek and onion bits from making the soup, along with a splash of wine. I de-shelled them, with half being popped into oblivion. Delicious! Tender and juicy.

So tomorrow I will figure out how the other half will be served up.

 

[cjmmytunes]

Had a chicken bacon ranch wrap and baked potato soup at a friends house while watch the games today/tonight.

 

[caseydog]

Nice weather today, so I smoked some baby back ribs.

[dragnlaw]

Casey! those aren't ribs, those are steaks!

 

[caseydog]

Casey! those aren't ribs, those are steaks!

They were pretty meaty for baby backs. One end of the rack was more meaty than the other, but even the less meaty end was better than average for grocery store ribs. They were more expensive than what I normally spend, but they looked worth it, and I'd say they were.

We had Chef John's Italian Sausage and White Bean Soup for supper. It was the first time I tried using frozen spinach in this soup. Frozen spinach has changed since I last bought it, over 30 years ago. It was good with the spinach and I took notes. We had some whole grain wheat and sunflower seed bread to go with that. Very enjoyable meal.

 

[GinnyPNW]

We had pulled pork (sous vide and then finished in the oven), tangy mac salad, oven fried red potatoes and cornbread. Oh, and two homemade BBQ sauces, Alabama White and Carolina Spicy. Yummy stuff!

 

[Xocolatl]

Beef Rendang (beef stewed in Coconut sauce) , not simmered down completely because I didn't want to make anything else today so the sauce completes the dish. Served with rice and veggies.

 

[taxlady]

Xocolatl, why would you need to make something else, if you simmered down the rendang completely?

 

[CharlieD]

I had craving for onion soup, so that's what it was. I also made pizza.
