Dinner Time?!

I am fixing this for dinner tonighter with bacon-wrapped filets (for hubby):

Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, peeled and coarsely minced
• Lemon juice (from 1/2 or a whole lemon)
• Olive oil
• Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Parmesan cheese

Method
1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut cauliflower into florets and put in a single layer in an oven-proof baking dish. Toss in the garlic. Squeeze lemon juice over cauliflower and drizzle each piece with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If the oven hasn't reached 400°F yet, set aside until it has.

2 Place casserole in the hot oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown. Test with a fork for desired doneness. Fork tines should be able to easily pierce the cauliflower. Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.

I know! It was yummy

What I had today. Mashed potatoes, home made roasties, gravy, carrots and celery. Ma cooked beef too but I don't eat beef.

Those aren't giant carrots or anything lol! I just eat small portions.

Tonight for tea i am going to make chicken casserole in my slow cooker...well i'm going to start making it this afternoon..by tea time it will be all ready.

Well tonight was just a Pot Noodle, but will be cooking a proper meal in the week.

Diced chicken fried, with the juice of 1-2 limes added to the frying pan and some cherry tomatoes (plus any other veg or even meat you fancy). Good to have with pasta or flavoured rice.

With a nice quality sauce, it tastes very good and is a filling meal as a whole

I've been really proud of myself for trying to branch out and make something new-ish.

Last night we had a sort of Caribbean jerk chicken, cous cous (eh...), and tomato/cucumber salad.

Tonight we're having cajun seasoned porkchops, black beans and rice, and a simple romaine/tomato salad.

I'm also making truffles tonight. My ganache setting in the fridge and by late tonight it should be set enough. I'm thinking of coating them with coconut. Of course... I could just eat ganache straight from the bowl.

Tonight I made Teriyaki Salmon, Brown rice pilaf and steamed mixed veggies. I needed something healthy as I ate horrible all weekend since my parents were out of town. I was craving veggies!

Just wanted to say that last night, my fiance made an AWESOME dinner. He made home-made veggie sushi rolls and a vegan pizza using nan as the crust. SO delicious.

so I am bumping this thread!
:bump:bump:bump:bump

my dinner tonight:

Macaroni salad, Potato chips, and a mozzarella sandwich ( fresh mozzarella, spinach, tomato, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil on a crusty roll)

oh, and some organic chocolate milk!

Today Husband and I went to the Indian buffet for lunch, so I wasn't all that hungry for dinner. I did have a nice salad: red, green, and romaine lettuce with bits of cucumbers and 1/4 of an avocado. I was in the mood for something salty, too, so I cooked up two pieces of Smart Bacon (vegetarian).

So I am going to try to keep this going, even if I am alone in my efforts! LOL

Today (well, yesterday) for lunch (as I didn't really eat dinner, just snacked all night) I had a sandwich from a local cafe that was really good!

I am just going to make nacho's for tea tonight..it's just me and my 14 year old Jeremy home..my eldest son Anthony has gone away with his friends for the long weekend....so just something quick and simple but very yummy!

as it's basketball and freestyle dance night - not me the kids - we are having our favourite prawn and potato curry from levi root's cookbook. mmmmmmmm the cooking time fits in with our timings

I'm trying out something new with roast... I rarely have time to do one properly because we are always either coming back from somewhere, leaving to somewhere, or getting ready to go somewhere. Today I had nowhere to be and it's glorious! So roast. The secret ingredient... Coke. We'll see... My wife is skeptical LOL.

Chilli Spaghetti and cheese, so yummy

Grace..do you put butter in your spaghetti too?!?!?!

Yesterday I tried making something new: Dijon Chicken and Broccoli, served with brown rice. It was really good and easy to make. Low fat and low cal too Healthier then a similar dish I make using cream of mushroom soup instead of the dijon/chicken broth this recipe called for.

Nope that is just mild cheese

Thought I'd dredge up this thread! I've cooked so many great recipes lately. Tonight I made stuffed peppers. I'd made them once before using a different recipe and they were only so-so. This time I made my own recipe using orange bell peppers and ground turkey. Yum! And for some reason incredibly filling.

What did everyone else have?

YAY My thread had 36 or something pages lol , I just saw the new thread. Hmmm everyone's dinner sounds very good, I had steak with sauteed mushrooms and onion (with butter!!) and salad for dinner simple but delicious
