1. I've got a load of wilting veggies...so maybe a soup or a stirfry, or both. nt

[livetohike]

2. Lentil Soup, Cheese Biscuits, and a relish tray

3. husband is going to make me some chicken noodle soup

had some dental work done yesterday and they found a sinus infection, the antibiotics for which really upset my stomach, so it will be good on both fronts.

10. There is nothing better in the world than chicken noodle soup

when you are not feeling well.

Sinus infections are horrible and I wish you a speedy recovery.

[fizzgig]

17. thanks

the sinuses aren't in too bad a shape outside making the teeth ache more than they already do. i asked my husband what he used to season the soup and his answer was that he got the recipe from captain crunch and promised he wouldn't share the recipe

4. I think I'm going to do chicken cacciatore.

Checked the fridge and I have all the ingredients on hand. One of my favorite one pot meals. How's things Lucinda?

[pinto]

16. It came out pretty good, I add a lot of veggies. Good one pot simmer. And to bed, snack and a movie.

See you all on the rebound.

18. I'm making that tomorrow.

I have Cubanelle pepper strips from the garden in the freezer and sliced bellas were on sale this week. There was one pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts in the freezer that needed using and I haven't made cacciatore in ages. I'm making enough for leftovers so we can enjoy it for another meal.

5. The last of my short ribs.

They turned out very nicely.

6. Leftover eggplant parmigiana

Since we went out for dinner last night.

7. Johnsonville skillet brats on a crunchy baguette, baked beans and coleslaw......

In other words...... "health food".

Did I mention the BEER? St. Pauli Girl Lager.

This is my post election victory "tailgate" party.

8. Mongolian beef

with lots of dried hot chilis.

But since traditionally the only veggies are green onions, I like to add mushrooms and broccoli.

9. Leftover chicken for DH and some comfort good for me.

I'm wanting some mac and cheese and I have some ham I can throw in.

Was going to make baked plantains with this caramel sauce that is very popular down here. It's made from goats milk and why I've never seen it in the US, I just don't understand. But the plantains aren't ripe enough, so it will have to wait.

Everyone have a great night!

[pinto]

15. Glad to see you stretch a bit on the mac 'n cheese. Ham sounds good. Are bell peppers, onion next?

[Jazzgirl]

11. Tonight leftover Chicken With Garlic and Anchovy Sauce.

Came out wonderfully and I'm finishing it tonight with some crusty bread.

[cbayer]

12. I have only recently developed a love of the anchovy.

I still don't like the little oily things in the can, but having discovered the wonders of anchovy paste, I am in love.

[Aerows]

13. Grits again

my stomach is a tad upset, and nothing soothes me like grits.

[cbayer]

14. Thanks for the reminder!

I can't get grits down here (at least I haven't seen them).

Going to America tomorrow and will definitely put it on my list.

Hope you feel better.

19. Not sure you can get this where you are but if you can

It was one of my favorites when in Colombia


These tasty cornmeal cakes can be found grilled, baked, or fried in several Latin American countries. We love this Colombian version—the outside fries up crisp and golden, while the cheesy middle stays wonderfully moist. They can be eaten as a side dish or paired with hot chocolate for an afternoon snack.
ingredients
1 cup arepa flour (precooked cornmeal)
1 cup crumbled ricotta salata or grated mozzarella (1/4 pound)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
preparation
Toss together arepa flour, cheese, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a bowl, then stir in water until incorporated. Let stand until enough water is absorbed for a soft dough to form, 1 to 2 minutes (dough will continue to stiffen).
Form 3 level tablespoons dough into 1 ball and flatten between your palms, gently pressing to form a 1/4-inch-thick patty (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 inches wide), then gently press around side to eliminate cracks. Transfer to a wax-paper-lined surface. Form more disks with remaining dough in same manner, transferring to wax-paper-lined surface.
Heat oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then fry arepas in 2 batches, turning over once, until deep golden in patches, 8 to 10 minutes total per batch. Drain on paper towels.

20. Oh, yummy. I will look for the flour the next time

I go to the market.

This sounds like something I would love.

[maddezmom]

21. They are really yummy plain but are versatile

Google arepas in images and you will see loads of ideas.
