Food What's For Dinner Tonight?

Nope. I meant to post it earlier. I'm lusting over your pizza, dude. Full gluten detox... I've been cheating lately and was feeling crappy. I want pizza sooooo bad.

 

Man, I need to go with hubs to his next ORD trip. January won't happen but maybe February. The foodz up that way look ridonkulous. And I suspect I can find some gluten-free pizza worth knocking a few heads around for.

 

If you have a BLAZE pizza nearby try it....thin crust and done in 3 minutes....

 

Meatloaf mashed potatoes and fresh snapped green beans all homemade

 

I'm supposed to be at happy hour at the French restaurant. With wine. And escargot. I'm sitting in a driveway waiting to be picked up and head all the way across town because a car was being worked on. *sigh*

 

Sautéed calamari with tomatoes, olives, broth, and basil pesto oil for an app. Perfect burger and shoestring fries. And wine. And coffee with frangelico. And bananas foster GF macarons. Fuck yes. Totally makes up for this week.

 

My girlfriend has turned me on to that. When we go to Iowa to visit her mom we get Casey's breakfast pizza. There is one place in the mountains that merged with them and now carries their pizza. I found them the last couple months of being a trooper.

 

A few days ago I bought a ham bone from The Honey Ham Store, thinking to make pea soup for dinner.
Little did I realise that the bone was frozen.....dumb ass....so today I finally made the soup.
4 carrots chopped up
3 stalks of celery chopped up
1 onion chopped up.....
2 cloves of garlic chopped up (everything needs a bit of garlic)
saute till they are soft in a lump of butter and some EVOO
1 container of beef base (32 oz plus on of water)
the entire ham bone (less the bits I snacked on)
Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 3 hours while we take Mr Barkley to the dog park
Taste for salt etc (none needed) take the bone out and chop up the meat that is still remaining, dump it back in.
Use the immersion blender to chop it up and I have 6 containers of the best ever pea soup in the freezer...minus one for tonight
Easiest recipe ever....unfortunately the ham bones have gotten a bit expensive......$8 for the damn bone...

 

Homemade Lasagna.

 

Pea soup with no peas? FWIW Kroger has their spiral cut hams on sale for .99 a pound. I paid about $9.00 for a nine pound ham. Which leads to...


Last night we had baked spiral cut ham, baked spaghetti squash, and steamed carrots.

 

OOPS, I thought I may have forgotten to .......DUMP ASS... 1 package of dried peas.....

On another note,
Tonight it's Chicken Tikka Masala from COSTCO....it's really pretty good....
I made some rice, and instead of using water I used some of the chicken soup that I had in containers in the freezer.....how come I never thought to use this before....it's very good...

 

I sautéed grassfed beef, garlic, leeks, onion, mushrooms, and shredded carrots until slightly under done. Baked three poblano peppers at 350*F open end down for 20m. Let them cool, and stuffed with the beef and veg, sliced spinach, and shredded Applewood smoked cheddar, topped with a little more cheddar and baked at 400 for 10m more. Steamed some rice, took half and seasoned with the same mix ad the beef and veg (pink sea salt, cracked pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, and a tiny bit of Ceylon cinnamon) and the crumbs left in the sautée pan.
'twas good.
Hubs will reheat the other tone tomorrow, probably. I usually tell him to chop it, reheat in a pan, and crack an egg over top.
