Food What's For Dinner Tonight?

Chili crab and pepper crab.

Oh. Yes.

 

Tonight i have convinced my most loving husband to take a whack at it in the kitchen. So, i sent him a plain and simple lasagne recipe to follow so it's going to be lasagne and a greens salad... I cannot wait!

 

- Bruschetta with mozzarella
- Grilled calamari with tartar sauce
- Creamy risotto with chicken breast, mushrooms and parmesan
- Tagliatelle with marinara sauce and tiger prawns
- Tiramisu
- Strawberry & Chocolate gelato

 

At Mrs. Levite's request, we had breakfast for dinner: scrambled eggs, cinnamon waffles with Icelandic butter and Vermont maple syrup, soy bacon/sausage, Cara Cara oranges.

 

I made a stir fry with chicken and brown rice

 

Sukuma wiki and spicy dal. Homemade.

 

Homemade palak... No paneer or cream. A little bit of basmati rice, and leftover dal from last night. Got a crazy Indian food high. Awesome.

 

Chicken roasted with a garlic-lemon-maple glaze.

 

Oven-roasted portobello burgers marinated in garlic, red wine, liquid aminos and a bunch of other yumminess... On organic whole wheat rolls, topped with avocado, tomato, and vegannaise. Sides of steamed broccoli, leftover sukuma wiki and palak. Freaking amazing. I love eating healthy.

 

meatloaf. not the singer. actual meatloaf.

 

You know the recipe for Baked Walnut and Cheddar Balls with Sauce Bechamel, from The Vegetarian Epicure? If you make that, and form the whole thing into a loaf instead of making balls, you can substitute very nicely for meatloaf, I think.

For those who don't have that, the recipe is:

1 1/2 c. ground walnuts
4 oz finely grated sharp white cheddar
1/2 c. breadcrumbs
1/2 c. wheat germ
1/2 onion, minced
3/4 c. whole milk
2 eggs
2 T. parsley
fresh ground pepper
salt
3 c. Sauce Béchamel

In a large bowl mix walnuts, finely grated cheese, breadcrumbs, wheat germ, onion and milk. Season the mixture with chopped parsley, pepper, and some salt. Finally, add the well-beaten eggs.

Roll the mixture into balls, slightly smaller than eggs in size, and arrange them in a well-buttered baking dish. Make 3 c. of Sauce Béchamel, well seasoned with thyme and onions, and pour it over the walnut balls in baking dish. Bake at 375-400 degrees for about 35-40 mins. Serve very hot from baking dish.
