what's for dinner?

[Boring]

Today? Take out. No way I'm cooking in 108° heat, my A/C's working hard enough as it is.

cooking outdoors is a way to avoid the heat, at least the heat from inside

Roasted skinless chicken breast, roast potatoes, steamed broccoli, cauliflower, baby carrots and a bit of beef gravy.

Skinless chicken breasts. The rice cakes of the meat world.

looks like I'm going to be eating random combinations of food tonight. i have carrots, beans, peanuts, blueberries, and etc. i haven't been eating the carrots much. i also have some sausage. i could probably slice up the carrots and the sausage, but i only have a microwave for heating them. and the sausage is not really intended for microwaves...

after eating a carrot, i might just go for a second serving of blueberries and peanuts.

Same here. Just baked a couple of chicken breasts and brushed on some barbecue sauce for the last ten minutes of cooking. Add some steamed veggies and I'm good to go.

well i had sausage, canned beans, and carrot for dinner. carrot didn't microwave as soft as i thought it would, so next time, i'm going to just eat it cold. the beans and sausage were okay, though produced a lot of oil that i need to drain out, next time.

being single and living alone, it is just not pratical for me to cook. yesterday- Kentucky Fried Chicken take out. They also have an excellent buffet with a nice salad bar in Show Low, Az ( about an hour from me ). I eat there often.
Today being Wednesday, I prefer the meatloaf that the local market offers today. They offer something different each day. It is very good and usually lasts for 2 meals.
also like Taco Bell.

 

[Boring]

if i had access to more heating alternatives, i'd cook soup and spaghetti because i have shallow pockets. in fact, i have a lot of raw ingredients (like those of last night) that would be perfect for cooking.

Got suppers planed out for all of next week. I find if I don't have some sort of meal plan a lot of "what am I eating for dinner?!" happens and I end up eating badly.

 

[Boring]

i had a mix of blueberries and peanuts again, last night. tasted very good. i'm happy that i froze the blueberries rather than have them perish (even though they don't taste as well, after melting.)

you know, I only recently learned that frozen blueberries have the same nutritional value as fresh ones. So, have learned to keep frozen ones on hand in my freezer all the time. They are so good for you and taste good too. I put them in cereal in the mornings and for snacks as well as in ice cream, whereever i can think to use them.
Anyway, recently one of my grocery stores had them on sale really cheap and I bought as many as i could fit in my freezer. Put them in zip lock freezer bags and was about half the cost of normaly frozen ones. So, will be using them a lot in the coming weeks/months.
Am putting up a new building/shop later thisyear and going to plan a garden i the southwest corner of it with large windows. Kind of lke a green house in th corner. Going to try to grow my own blueberries and other stuff.
You wrote they do not taste as good after melting. I eat them frozen, even snack on them that way. I have not thawed them before eating them and they taste great.

There is a market in little town near me and their deli serves a different lunch/dinner each day ( along with burgers, etc). On Thursdays they offer really good chinese type food including choices of - orange chicken, sweet and sour and stir fry. That is where I plan to eat today, it's really good but, I find I need to put pepper on it , esp the stir fry. I learned about the dangers of sodium.salt so, I never salt my food even if I feel it would taste better. am not aware of anything bad about pepper though.

oh yeah, frozen berries taste good too, especially in the summer

Tonight we are having breakfast for dinner. I'm going have to be careful!

 

[Boring]

last night, i had some cooked rice and grenade chicken. i call it grenade chicken because the chicken is chopped up with the bones such that there are small pieces of bones in random places

 

[Journey.In.Grace]

Knowing my father, we are probably having some sort of fast food tonight. It better not be pizza. We've had that for three weeks in a row.

 

[PeachieKeen]

Tonight I'm making 4th of July tacos which will include hot dog, cole slaw, baked beans, and apple pie...

I'm gonna die soon

Had to revive this thread just to brag... home to Texas for the 4th and had Chuys for dinner <3 the waitress made heart hands at me and said she admires my ability to put salsa away... I LITERALLY drink the stuff.
