What should I do for dinner today?

[conuly]

I gotta go to the store no matter what, so hit me with your ideas.

can you get (or make) good barbeque? cause that leapt into my brain instantly when I read this. if not the thing for you tonight, how about breakfast for dinner? that's always nice (and relatively easy)

[conuly]

I might just do pancakes for dinner tomorrow, though I need some fruit to go with.

Pork tenderloin with balsamic lentils

[conuly]

Got a recipe for the lentils/

[angelofthenorth]

1 fine diced carrot
garlic
onion
puy or green lentils
5oz stock
couple of table spoons of balsamic vinegar
400g can of tomatoes
fresh thyme

Fry the garlic, onion and carrot until the onion is soft. add the lentils, stir, add the stock, add the tomatoes and thyme, and cook till the lentils are edible. Stir in the balsamic vinegar right at the end.

Thanks :)

Chicken piccata? Fast, easy, and the sauce complements just about every vegetable out there.

I make you a gift of my recent background preoccupation with paprikash! With noodles of course.

[conuly]

Alas, the kids don't like paprikash.

Antipasto salad with a hearty ciabatta bread.

Baked potatoes filled with taco fillings.

Slow cooked pork shoulder (or Instant Pot cooked)

Baked chicken (Mmmm crispy skinnnn)

Steaks? :)

[conuly]

Do you know, I have the absolute worst luck with steak. Everything I make is great but steak

[gatheringrivers]

I have a terrible time cooking a steak anything over "medium rare". My preferred state is warm through, but barely cooked, lol.

I don't know if you have one, but an electric grill might actually be easier than a stovetop - and I mention that because I used to cook steaks ON the stove, before we got an electric grill, and my stovetop attempts were usually pretty bad.

(And some water in the bottom flat plate of the electric grill cuts down significantly on the smoke level.)

Guiness Meatloaf

[polydad]

Chop and brown a couple of onions. Squish together with a pound of ground critter (beef cheapest, lamb tastiest), a cup of dry rolled oats, a bottle of guiness, 3 or 4 eggs, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and whatever else appeals from the spice shelf. Squish it into a loaf pan and stick it in a 350F oven for an hour. Eat. If you think it needs ketchup, something went wrong.

best,

Joel

Greens, topped with fruit, vegetable, a generous helping of crouton or cracker, cheese, and enough dressing to make the greens taste good.
