Dinner today:

burger, greens cooked in beef fat and chives, spaghetti squash w/ butter

It's been really hot again this week...record highs and no rain! So, I'm having a cool chicken salad on a bed of salad greens - mayonnaise, green onions, salt & pepper and maybe a little ranch dressing.

Sauteed mushrooms and onions poured on top of chicken breasts seasoned with salt, pepper, and basil then baked...It's almost done and looks delicious! I kind of thought up the recipe in my head so I'm glad it turned out.

Stir fry ....... thinly sliced steak, onion, mushrooms, yellow pepper, cabbage ... seasoned with soya sauce, fish sauce and sambal olek

... dinner out for hubby's birthday .... had a spinach salad with red pepper, red onion, balsamic vinegar & sundried tomato dressing with steaks, fried mushrooms & garlic butter, and a dessert coffee - w. mint flavor shot & whipped cream on top.

YUM!

That's one of my very favorite meals - I love Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I always order their spinach salad, steak and a yummy veggie side...the coffee with a mint shot and cream is a brilliant finish to your dinner and feels like dessert! Good Job!

I'm so not inspired to cook dinner tonight; I've been cleaning house all day on and off...and playing on the computer. No way am I getting my kitchen dirty!

So it's potluck from my refrigerator! Listen to this combination: 2 barbecued baby back ribs, chicken salad - mayonnaise, green onions, pimentos - bacon left from breakfast crumbled into the chicken salad. I'm topping the chicken salad generously with cheese and baking it in a 6oz. ramekin while the ribs reheat in the oven.

The chicken salad is delicious heated as a little cassarole, but I've never had ribs with chicken salad before! I might add a small green salad; I haven't had any veggies today.

I made Sandyfannys sausage, cheese and egg quiche ... used hot italian sausage and it was really hot and spicy

I'm going to make sandyfanny's quiche tomorrow morning for breakfast! I'm just going to have to increase the recipe a lot since it will be feeding more than just me. My mom brought home 5 dozen eggs from the store tonight because I'm going through them like crazy so I need to put them to good use.
Tonight I'll be having sirloin tips and mushrooms, using sour cream to thicken instead of flour and omitting the wine. I'll probably also have a big salad of mixed baby greens+cucumber with vinegar and oil dressing.

Edit: My mom ended up not using the sour cream in the sirloin tips but it was still great and would probably be good with the sour cream as well. I also didn't make sandyfanny's quiche because not everyone felt like eating and I slept in but I plan on making it soon. It sounds really good.

Sandy I used your wing recipe on boneless, skinless chicken breast, Talk about good, turned out great.

Ghost girl, why didn't I think of using the recipe on chicken breasts? Brilliant! And, Linsy, your sirloin tips dinner sounds great, a stroganoff sort of yumminess.

The breakfast quiche increases really well; I've doubled it many times and used it when I have weekend guests. You can also make it the night before, cover it, refrigerate it, and pop it in the oven the next morning. I'm making one today to use as breakfast this week. I can't bear the thought of cooking at 5:30 a.m.!

No clue about dinner tonight, but I have to go to the grocery today, so I'll come up with something.

Nice to see more folks in this thread.

Today's dinner: beef liver, bacon and onions

Sandyfanny, from reading your posts, it looks as though you are a super cook.

This is only the second time I've cooked beef liver. I'm more used to chicken livers. I asked a few folks, and they said, "Bacon and onions!". So, browned onions, lightly cooked bacon. Push those to the edge of the skillet. Turn skillet on high, sear the liver, flip, sear. Check for doneness. I like well cooked meat. Some like pink on the inside, some red. Some like seared outsides and blood juices inside, dripping.

I cooked the whole package, and then, ate my 2.5-3 ounces. Put some in a jar for tomorrow, and most of it got put into the freezer. The part that went into the freezer is just enough done that I can cook it again for a short bit and it won't be overcooked.

The first package I bought tasted a bit strong to me. This package was very mild. I think adding butter to the bacon fat helped.

I'm trying to make sure I get liver, egg yolks and meat/bone broths as staples in my food plan.

I think my mom used to soak her liver (that sounds really funny) in milk before she cooked it, but I'm sure she lightly floured it before frying it up.

I love to cook when I have time and especially when I can cook for friends or family. It's not that much fun for one, but every now and then I "get a notion" as we say in the South, and cook up something special just for me.

I think I'm going to start a new thread with just recipes from "What's for Dinner" posts. I love some of the things y'all have posted, but I hate hunting through the whole thread for the ones with recipes. What do you think?
