It’s a new year and I need some new dinner ideas. I made a Faux Pho last night and it was pretty good.
What’s on the menu at your house tonight?
chicken asparagus risotto - making it with the duck/goose stock that i made last week, or possibly the bunny stock i finished simmering off last night.
cheers!

That’s funny because I was going to make risotto as well…great minds think alike I guess.

Not sure which part of your “Pho” was “Faux” - are you vegetarian or vegan (or something else)?
My sister got me an incredible cookbook for Christmas - Appetite for Reduction. All vegan recipes (I am also gluten free, easy to sub in this cookbook) and everything I’ve made has been delicious.
Zucchini/black bean tacos: zucchini, onion, black beans, salsa verde - in corn tortillas
Caulipots: Combo of mashed cauliflower and potatoes
Pineapple rice: Jasmine rice spiced up with red curry paste/tamari sauce mixture, onion/garlic, cilantro, pineapple
Other stuff I like:
Homemade pesto on brown rice pasta
Tofu & veggie stir fry
Sweet potato/black bean tacos
Not vegetarian, although I try to have meat free dinner a few times a week. The faux was that I used mushroom stock so essentially it was a vegan pho. Quite tasty too.
The black bean tacos sound yum and I LOVE cauliflower/potato smash up.
Cream of spinach/broccoli soup; sm. bowl of beets; 2 string cheese sticks; 3 servings of peanuts; oatmeal raisin cookie.
We’ve gone paleo for 7 weeks (should be interesting!) so tonight is salad with chicken, apple, avocado, and home-made bacon bits. Last night was chicken enchiladas where we cut out the cheese and substituted cauliflower for the rice.
I’m almost at the point where I’d kill someone for chocolate…the sad thing is that this is just Day 4 of 7 weeks.
I have a pork tenderloin in the fridge and I will be searing it with olive oil, fresh garlic and fennel seeds before finishing it in the oven with new potatoes to keep it company.
Y’all make my reheated spaghetti sound incredibly sad. Last night’s “nothing” sounds even more pathetic.
I need to go to the grocery store & start eating food I cook again.
I have a really yummy recipe I got off the “Eating Well” website for a steak and blueberry salad. It’s totally awesome. Spinach, a home made blueberry vinagrette, walnuts and feta.
It’s even good without the steak as a side item.
I don’t usually eat red meat that often but had a real bad craving for a hamburger last night. So I marinated a hamburger in olive oil and garlic. I didn’t have any buns so I put it on a Wolferman’s maple and walnut english muffin.The maple flavor really came through- It was awesome! Also had Rosemary new potatoes on the side. I’m going to do it again tonight
I had veggie soup from a can.
Yeah, pathetic. But it was better than the pizza in my freezer. Since I started living alone I think I’ve had maybe 2 salads and they have been in restaurants. Gotta get myself together.
Eggs, brown rice, peas tonight.
Tonight at work:
Jerk Chicken
Pineapple Salsa
Curried Chick Pea Cakes
Veggie Salad
Cilantro Rice
Mango and Red Pepper Salad
.
Yum. Spinach salad tonight after reading your post. I put a bit of left over chicken on top with carrot and some avocado.
MacDonalds!
Go to the drive thru and when they ask for your order reply as follows:
Ill have a number one, Coke Large. Then I want a Large M&M McFlurry.
That will fill you right up…
Quick, inexpensive and tasty as can be!
Ahhhhhhhh! Mmm Mmm good!
It’s a new year and I need some new dinner ideas. I made a Faux Pho last night and it was pretty good.
What’s on the menu at your house tonight?
Potato and broccoli latkes and lemon garlic fish. Mmmm, latkes.
Tonight was strip mall Thai- I had the Pad Kee Maw- chicken, Thai medium spice, no cabbage. The spousal unit had salad.
Last night was Malaysian ginger-pineapple chicken over rice.
I like Thai food.
Last night here was pasta i fagioli soup (I think I spelled the Italian name wrong. Pasta and bean.)
