What's on the menu this evening?

[4bronxbombers]

So do I. I can tolerate it (as long as it doesn't have onions in it ), but seriously, why not just make hamburgers?

[Trish]

Why don't you post it. I can always use another meatloaf recipe. I would have to substitute gluten free ingredients though. Still I like meatloaf once in awhile.

OK, I will when I get home. I think I already have somewhere in this thread, but since we can't use the search feature I'm out of luck

Someday I'm going to actually follow a recipe for meatloaf. Or at the very least write it down when I'm making it. Every time I make one it's different.

Meatloaf is something I follow a recipe for just for that reason. I found one I like and I don't want to vary from it, so I follow the recipe. Actually, it's Martha Stewart's mother's recipe, so I might be able to find it online.

I find the same thing. I start out with a recipe, but I either end up adding something or deleting something.

I have made the one with the Lipton onion soup and it's good.

[krystl]

Tonight, it's tilapia. Proably baked with spinach, tomatoes and onions.

Not a big fan of tilapia since I saw that 'Dirty Jobs' episode.

I used to eat it often.

Yes, that's the basic recipe the bf uses but then sometimes he fidgets with it. Last time, with salsa. Blech.

I don't think I want to know...

I tell ya, that Lipton soup mix is so good for many things. The cranberry pot roast being another!

[4bronxbombers]

I never tried the Lipton onion soup mix for meatloaf (sometimes I'll make it for the husband) because I always thought it would be too salty.

Nah, it's really not at all. If you do add it, though, you don't really need to add additonal seasonings.

[Mr Coffee]

The meatloaf I make I got off a box of Stovetop stuffing.

You add a bag of stuffing to about 3 lbs of meat, and add in a can of mushroom gravy and another can of water.

I think the recipe is on the mushroom flavored stuffing box.

This is exactly the recipe I use. I omit the carrots and celery though, and I don't bake it in a loaf pan. I use a Pampered Chef baking pan and form the loaf freeform. It doesn't sit in the fat that way. Works great.

My husband goes NUTS over this.

That reminds me of a meatloaf muffins recipe that I got from someone at a Weight Watchers meeting once. 1 lb. lean ground beef, 1 cup hot water, 2 egg whites, a package stove top stuffing mix. Mix it all together and place in 12 cupcake tins. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. 2 Weight Watcher points per "muffin."

I made roasted lamb last night. Came out delicious.

Fileted open a boneless leg of lamb, filled it with olive oil, dijon, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sherry, and lots of course garlic. Rolled it up tightly and tied it. Topped the outside with dijon and oilive oil. Cooked it at 350 until it hit 133.

Made pan sauce out of Pinot Nior (I was drinking it at the time), a little chicken stock, sherry, thyme, soy sauce, and flour to thicken.

Oddly the garlic in middle turned green, apparently that was because of the acid in the
sherry. No change in taste however. Heres a crappy picture I took on my iPhone.

[Brick Tamland]

Wow that sounds delicious Javy, I love lamb.

All this talk of meatloaf has me thinking that's what I'm going to make this evening though...

Thank you, my deary.
I like the idea of not putting it in a loaf pan and I agree the carrots definitely have to go.

[JavyVazquezIsSick]

I can't make meatloaf anymore without wrapping it in bacon. And mushrooms, love my mushrooms in meatloaf.

I'm not a ketchup fan and don't like sweetness in my food so I might try this recipe substituting Tomato Sauce for the ketchup and just omit the brown sugar and see how that turns out. I am sure it will still be good for me because I am not used to the sweetness so I don't think I would miss it.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Corn chips.

Who wants to melt some cheese for me?

[xenadanielle]

Shiraz-Grenache.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Oh, booze too.

It'll be too watery with tomato sauce.

The brown sugar is just for the glaze on top. I'm sure you could do it without a glaze.

[Dave Visbeck]

We went to a place called ... Fox and Hound Pub & Grill. Did not like the food at all. Was sodium city.

[krystl]

Deviating from the usual Sunday pasta. Since it's gonna be so nice out today, we're gonna grill instead.
My FIL, who comes for dinner every Sunday, does not know this yet.

[smr15]

ground turkey stuffed peppers. not sure yet if i'll make it w/rice or couscous in the mixture.

[LDG]

Going to make a chicken teriyaki dish in honor of the Series for tonight.

I shall name it MVP Matsuiyaki and "Dinner's ready" will be replaced with "Who's Your Daddy?"

[Beyle]

Not quite sure yet. I'm hungry though.

Maybe I should quit eating those dark chocolate espresso beans?

[4bronxbombers]

buttered egg noodles and red wine.

[Trish]

buttered egg noodles and red wine.

Couple of bites of a roast beef au jus sandwich. I have zero appetite lately.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Disgusting mac and cheese and some yummy rice.

50% is a good rate for a dining hall.

[CallOfTheCrow]

Spaghetti

[philleotardo]

Homemade clam chowder

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Spaghetti

Was it as good as your facebook implied it would be?

[yankeeschic12324]

Pizza!!!

[Trish]

He deleted me.

[jlw1980]

I had a salad that wasn't as appetizing as I hoped it would be (too much lettuce and not enough toppings). Still hungry so I may throw in a frozen pizza.

[CallOfTheCrow]

Was it as good as your facebook implied it would be?

Not sure yet. The noodles just finished boiling. Letting it cool down a bit lol

//edit

Rather bland

[joflo]

My homemade minestrone, big salad, an orange later and some toffee & shortbread cookies

[Dave Visbeck]

Homemade clam chowder

Which? White, Red or Rhode Island?

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

He deleted me.

What did you say?!?

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Sadness.

[Trish]

What did you say?!?

No clue. That's friggin hilarious.

[CallOfTheCrow]

Why hilarious? Never saw that reaction before. Usually its more like "meh. Whatever"

It is meh whatever. It's also hilarious to me. As far as I was aware we never had a problem and were friendly. Just goes to show, you never know.

We don't have a problem. We never talk on there so that's why I deleted you. I've mentioned that I do that all the time in the facebook thread. Not sure why it's some surprise all of a sudden.

I've also deleted Toad, Ali, & someone else (I forget who, maybe Karen) & I have no problems with them either. I do not like that you're implying that I'm some shady asshole.

[Sam18]

Hey Trev we never talk on facebook but please don't delete me, I like you.

You deleted me? I didn't even notice.
I don't have a problem with that at all. I read your status updates and get a kick out of them, but you always get so many comments, I figure mine would just get lost in the shuffle.

[krystl]

Seeing as this is a menu thread, I'll put it back on track.

Last night, I just threw together some stuff and it came out so good, there were no leftovers!

Sauteed Italian sausage, broccoli, onions, parmesan cheese, mushrooms, potatoes and chicken broth seasoned with some Lawry's and pepper. Soooo good.
