Those of us who are staying in, what's for dinnah?

[bicentennial_baby]

At Chez Sniffa, it is tacos, nachos, black bean sautee...with homemade Guac, Newman's salsa, and sour cream.

Later on, frozen hors d'oeuvres, including a massive box of pigs in blankies :rofl:

How about you?

[LeftyMom]

1. Biscuits and gravy.

Gimme Lean sausage style was on sale at Raleys.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. I like Gimme Lean...I used to work in the Lightlife factory!

My friend's dad started the company :)

[LeftyMom]

53. Awesome. It came out really, really good.

LK's all excited because I made too many biscuits so there are tons for him to eat.

[SPKrazy]

2. little pizza

and some buffalo wings :9

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

4. How little?

:D

Oh, and for you:

[SPKrazy]

12. well as little as I

will let myself :P

ouch

e. coli :scared:

[KitchenWitch]

5. Homemade split pea with ham soup!

And baguette.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. Excellent!

Enjoy!! :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

6. well since my new cookbook is full of ingrediants I don't own

salad, NYT bread and a Bertolli one pot meal out of the freezer...

I'm making hoppin John tomorrow and yesterday we had Prime Rib with sauted shrimp and asparagus so tonight I'm gonna be lazy

[bicentennial_baby]

10. I gotta try those Bertolli meals...

Are they good? :hi:

Oh, and what's 'hoppin john'? :D

[NMDemDist2]

16. yeah, they're OK but be sure to have something else. they aren't large

Hoppin John is a cajun Black eyed peas and rice dish that is a traditional New Years Day good luck dealy

[bicentennial_baby]

21. Ahhhh, I see...I'll have to google it.

And Miss Millie makes her own IQF Bertolli-style meals. I wanna try that.

[NMDemDist2]

25. they're pretty clever, the ingrediants are just frozen stuff and there is

little cubes of frozen sauce included in the mix

so the quality is really pretty good. catch em on sale and stock up

edit to add what is IQF

[bicentennial_baby]

27. Individually Quick Frozen

As in, freezing everything separately, like the sauce, pasta, etc. After they made them on Top Chef, Miss Millie devised her own homemade ones, with much success! :D

[DarkTirade]

8. Hamburgers.

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Simple and straightforward...

:thumbsup:

[DarkTirade]

15. Oh, wait, cancel that.

Pork chops instead. :P

[bicentennial_baby]

17. My favorite Pork Chop recipe is

Alton Brown's recipe...They're breaded in crushed salt and vinegar chips. SO good! :bounce:

[sniffa]

62. my favorite pork chop recipe

which i can't fucking get right because my mom doesn't remember ever making it when i was a kid, despite her making it more times than i can count...

boneless pork chops, baked in Lipton onion soup mix, with potato slices. i've tried to recreate it twice and didn't fair too well either time. :(

[grilled onions]

70. Will This One Do?

PORK CHOP BAKE

6 pork chops, 1 inch thick
4 med. potatoes, uncooked, thinly sliced
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 c. water
1/2 envelope Lipton onion soup mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown pork chops and drain on paper towel. In large deep pan, lined with foil, arrange potatoes, pork chops, onion soup mix, and mushroom soup with water. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour and 15 minutes.

[sniffa]

72. i'll give it a shot

thank you

:bounce:

[skygazer]

9. Whatever my chef - also know as my SO - makes

I'm not sure what he has in mind though I know tomorrow it's chili verde. :9

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Yummo

Eat well! :hi:

[flvegan]

14. Right now, I'm cooking a big roast. Seriously.

It's for the dogs. They got one for Christmas, too.

They're digging the smell in the house right now. Me...not so much.

Not sure what I'm having quite yet. Gotta take care of them first.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. You're such an awesome doggie daddy

:yourock:

[peacefreak]

19. Chicken Tarragon with glazed carrots & lemon sorbet for dessert.

(if I find the ambition) If not, Palermo's Pizza Supreme & do the serious cooking tomorrow. Either way, I win.

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Win-win, exactly...

:rofl:

[Mrs.Matcom]

20. matcom is fixin'

filet mignon and asparagus with holidaise sauce...yummo!

Oh, and the bertoli meals are pretty good for something on the fly. :loveya: and Happy New Year to you and Sniffa!!

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Happy New Year to you too sweetie!!

:loveya:

I'll be doing most of the cooking over here this evening. :)

[Mrs.Matcom]

44. Oh, your guac sounds really good!

Where you ever able to find that Tony Cachere's spice I was telling you about? it is killer in guac!

[auntAgonist]

24. Cabbage Roll Casserole with

a tossed salad. Fresh home made biscuits.

Later, crackers, cubed ham and cheese, olives, pickles etc.

Happy New Year and bon apetit!

aA

[bicentennial_baby]

28. Yummm! Homemade biscuits!!

And the same to you, fried! :hi:

[UndertheOcean]

26. chicken in mustard and orange marmalade sauce

[bicentennial_baby]

29. Enjoy!!

Glad you're feeling better! :hi:

[UndertheOcean]

36. I cooked it yesterday , It would be great if i can share it with someone

[malta blue]

30. We settled on baked manicotti, spinach sauteed with garlic,

garlic bread and flourless chocolate cake.

The pigs in blankies sound yummy... :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

33. Oh, magnificent!!

Can I come over? :9

Happy New Year!! :hi:

[malta blue]

37. Only if you bring the pigs....

Happy New Year!!
:hug:

[Xipe Totec]

31. Home made tamales norteños

we're making them right now, so if I don't answer it's because I'm up to my elbows in masa, corn husks, and beef filling.

[bicentennial_baby]

34. Excellent...Question about tamales?

What's up with the husks? Are they just for the cooking, not for eating? I've always wondered. :hi:

[Xipe Totec]

46. They are the wrappers

Do not eat the husks!

Back before Saran wrap, aluminum foil, and tupperware, there was corn husks.

Funny story, Gerald Ford came to my school in south Texas when he was running for President. They served him tamales, which he had never seen, and he tried to eat them with the husk!

:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

67. And they are now done!

Six dozen tamales, enough to last us till tomorrow morning through breakfast!

Happy New Year!

:party:

[Inchworm]

32. pasta w/sauce

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

35. Keeping it simple, nice!

:hi:

[Catshrink]

38. Ribs from Costco

and cherry pie. It's my BD too and that's what I want. Maybe some edamame too, maybe not. Then I'll probably take some more nyquil and go to bed. I'm still feeling crappy.

[Tektonik]

49. Ooh Costco food sounds good

I could go for their rotisserie chicken + some homemade rice + swiss cheese.

[Catshrink]

50. I buy the chicken a lot...

I wanted something different today. When I come into the house with a Costco chicken I am mugged by 4 cats and 2 dogs. They love it -- but they don't get much of it.

[BarenakedLady]

39. I had 2 avocado rolls

and one inari. Plus some mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy and fruit.

[NMDemDist2]

40. i make the yummiest PiaBlanket

get a can of crescent rolls and a pack of Lil Smokie weinies

unroll the crescents and slice each triangle into two triangles then roll up the lil smokies and bake as directed on the can

serve with gourmet mustards and BBQ sauces

easy and tasty

[bicentennial_baby]

41. Oh thank you!!!

Sniffa will be forever in your debt! :rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

42. actually you need two cans of crescent rolls for a package of the Smokies

but they are great to take to potlucks or to serve at parties

[Fox Mulder]

43. I'm having Chinese food.

I got take out for lunch and I'm going to eat the rest of it in a little bit.

[Left Is Write]

45. We are having friends over. What we are serving...

Cheese fondue with bread chunks, chips and dip, cheese/summer sausage/crackers, vegetables, taquitos, assorted nuts and relishes, an assortment of Christmas cookies and fudge, and an assortment of drinks. One of my friends is bringing her fondue pot too, and we'll have chocolate fondue with fresh fruit in that one. I don't know what the other two couples are bringing - appetizers of some sort.

[tigereye]

47. my husband's wonderful chicken curry

the kind from The Curry Book.

[Tektonik]

48. Depends what my brother wants to do

We'll be eating out no doubt. Either Bennigan's or Wendy's and some cheap champagne, vodka, jaeger or ouzo, or all four from Bevmo.

[supernova]

51. Rotisserie chicken and greek salad

A little later some black bean dip, chips, and salsa and prosecco.

[Gormy Cuss]

52. Pizza, homemade

which means the SO's making it and I'm practicing my lazy routine. Topping is hot Italian sausage.

[bicentennial_baby]

57. I want to start doing that, I need a good recipe though...

*hint, hint* ;)

I'm watching the No Reservations marathon... :bounce:

[Tektonik]

59. TJ's premade dough stretched thin + not too many toppings =

yummy pizza

[Gormy Cuss]

65. SO can't even tell me how he makes his crust but I know his go-to ready-made dough when pressed

for time ---Trader Joe's, in the refrigerated case. That dough, a pizza stone and a little practice and you're well on your way to better than take out. The sauce is a basic red sauce reduction. Toppings almost always are better cooked beforehand.

[WinkyDink]

54. Shrimp scampi. And my homemade eclairs!

[bicentennial_baby]

58. Would you care to share the eclair recipe?

It's my favorite dessert.... :9

[Nickster]

55. NY Style strip steaks with musrooms and scallions sauteed. Baked potatoes and salad.

Too full for dessert. :-)

[yellowdogintexas]

56. a spicy stir fry of pork, broccoli, squash, pea pods, carrots and celery with fresh

serrano peppers in it for the heat factor. YUM YUM

Maybe later a glass of wine, or maybe just some milk and gingersnaps

I made a lemon souffle last night and it was devoured almost instantly.

No party at this house, just a couple of old fogeys

[theredpen]

60. My cup runneth over:

Roasted pepper and goat cheese crostini with caviar

Fanny bay oyster with shallot mignonette

Fettuccine with Parmesan and white truffles

Wild mushroom soup

Slow poached sea bass in puff pastry

Roasted rack of lamb with a syrah demi-glace jus

Fresh berry beggar's purse

I'm not cooking :)

I bought the fresh white truffles, thought. I went to the Hollywood (CA) farmer's market yesterday. Mmmmm.

[Nickster]

68. Holy Cow! I'm coming over. Save me a plate!

[knitter4democracy]

61. Marinated pork tenderloin, collards, boiled potatoes, and rolls.

I made up a marinade today, having never done pork tenderloing before. Lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, bouquet garni (from Penzeys, as all our spices are), shallot salt, pepper, and 8 or 9 cloves of garlic (I lost count). It turned out pretty well.

We do collards pretty simply around here: wash and slice up the collards, saute onions until soft, add in some garlic and lemon zest, throw in collards and add a bit of water to the pan. Put a cover on to steam until just past bright green (it's still bright just a bit darker). We eat them with roasted garlic mayo. Mmm!

[SeattleGirl]

63. Super duper nachos!

And taquitos in a box from the freezer!

We're on the same wave length, baby! :rofl:

[bridgit]

64. Creme o'chicken soup, an on-going plate of munchies, cheese/onion dip...

Triscuits, etc; already been out for V-8 and a couple pitchers so it's *in* time and orange juice, spring water & Toll House cookies here (new client/contract Wed, gotta be sharp ;)), Happy New Years to youz guys :hi:

[huskerlaw]

66. We're having a little party

Pot roast, garlic potatoes, cornbread stuffing, rolls, cheesecake...and LOTS of alcohol.

:woohoo:

[davsand]

69. Oysters on the half shell followed by lobster.

Served with french bread and fresh spinach salads. Had an excellent white wine with it all.

Now I am miserable and not completely sure I want to drink any champagne later.

Wouldn't ya know it? Material Girl goes to a New Year's Eve slumber party and her father and I eat ourselves into oblivion and pass out watching tv... Gawd. We are so lame.



Laura

[GoddessOfGuinness]

71. Swedish meatballs, yellow rice, asparagus spears with hollandaise...

Hollandaise is the only way I can get my kid to eat his asparagus. :-)

We had fresh Appalachian Brewing Company porter to go with. :beer:

[hippywife]

73. Last night was just

Quorn chicken patty sandwiches with Marzetti's Ultimate Bleu Cheese dressing and lettuce with fries.

This morning was a big dutch baby pancake with cooked apples and raisins.

Today is snacky stuff: nachos, a selection of olives from the Wild Oats olive bar, spinach dip, assorted cheeses with crackers.

Tonight is black eyed peas (for him), sauerkraut, collard greens, baked potatoes w/butter & sour cream. And a rare occasion in our home, we're going to split an organic sirloin steak that is at this momrnt marinating in soy sauce, freshly diced garlic, salt, pepper, and capers.
