Mmm.</p> <p>Later this week:<br /> Fish tacos<br /> Penne with sausage ragu<br /> Roasted Potato and Leek Soup </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323335 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 03:05:38 +0000 Debbie 323335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made a pot roast for Sun and Mon. Tonight hubby and I went out to dinner without kids. Tomorrow I'll will do fish. I also made chocolate chip cookie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323322 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 02:48:04 +0000 bella 323322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday we had cauliflower in tomato sauce over a bed of pearl barley. Tonight, I turned the leftover barley into a stir-fry dish with onions, peas and fried egg and served it with feta cheese stuffed portabella mushrooms. Tomorrow is hubby's turn so we will most likely eat leftovers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323321 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 02:43:20 +0000 Frances 323321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm... I made Hearty Lentil Soup on Sunday evening (and this will provide lunch for work all week) and last night herbed brown rice &amp; sauteed asparagus with shallot, garlic, lemon and parsley. Tonight I'm getting going late and will probably just make a quick and easy veggie burger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323264 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 00:44:13 +0000 yublocka 323264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow there'ssome serious gourmet going on here!!</p> <p>My main cooking feat of the week was making my first ever loaf of bread - Irish Brown Soda bread. I'm sitting here eating it with vegemite right now. Is that sacrilege?</p> <p>I also cooked up a big pot of Jamie Oliver's Leek and Chickpea soup on Monday. That's kept me going for a few meals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323258 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 00:28:47 +0000 chewyspaghetti 323258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love hearing what everyone is cooking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323249 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 23:48:15 +0000 nicoleb 323249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband is a chef so I....don't really cook. XD And when i do it's pretty uninspiring *cough*macandcheese*cough*....I do like to bake though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323220 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 22:42:14 +0000 April 323220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week, I've made what we call Jalapeno Spinach, which is based on a Laurie Colwin recipe for Creamed Spinach with Jalapeno Peppers: <a href="https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/dsshapiro/web/recipes/colwinspinach.html" rel="nofollow">https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/ds.....inach.html</a>, and also a salad based on Heidi Swanson's Lemon-Scented Quinoa Salad: <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001493.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001493.html</a> . We change it by omitting the chickpeas and onions, putting little chunks of crispy-fried tofu on top instead, and putting a bed of greens underneath the quinoa. Yum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323212 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 22:35:13 +0000 FoolOfATook 323212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last night I made a beef pot pie (all homemade); DH always loves it. Tonight.... Who knows? *off to rummage in the fridge* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323176 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 20:50:37 +0000 Aida 323176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy sounding foods! I've been busier than normal so not able to cook as much recently, but I will be smoking a turkey this weekend for quick dinner meals next week :} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323117 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 19:42:32 +0000 Inge 323117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all sounds delicious!!</p> <p>Dinner yesterday was mixed grilled vegetables tossed with garlic oil and herbs over whole wheat tagliatelle, with a green salad with spring onion, roasted pine nuts and peppadews (love the bright red against the green) served with small mozzarella balls.</p> <p>Today is leftovers day;-)</p> <p>P.S. I had to look up Marie Rose sauce, Angie, that's basically what we call "cocktailsaus" I think, although that usually contains a bit of whisky. I love it on prawns too! (and on cold salmon) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323101 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 19:18:00 +0000 Queen Mum 323101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>last night was an easy dinner inspired at Trader Joes.<br /> They were sampling a container of fresh mixed chopped veggies with oil and basalmic on it. I bought the veggies and tossed them with their new low-fat Champagne Vinaigrette, slivered almonds and a diced orange. I served it with roasted chicken breasts basted with the same dressing. Popped a loaf of yummy bread from Trader Joes in the oven to warm and viola... dinner on the table!</p> <p>Tonight is taco Tuesday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323098 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 19:12:35 +0000 Nadya 323098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to cook too, and don't get to cook much during the week. Saturday I spent a couple hours making Mark Bittman's new Chicken Dinner recipe in a recent NY Times. It was fine, but definitely not worth the work. I'd rather just roast a chicken and some veggies!</p> <p>This week I'm going to try a new recipe for a beet salad with fresh horseradish....</p> <p>@Joy I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323097 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 19:11:04 +0000 RoseandJoan 323097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yum, I like the sound of many of these dishes.</p> <p>We had smokey ham tortellini yesterday and sweet chili rice noodles tonight. I think we will have a spanish tortilla tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323069 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 18:03:36 +0000 Anonymous 323069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH has been having to do the cooking as I've been struck down with horrible stabbing hip pain, thus brain-fogging pain killers. MRI this afternoon. He's actually a very good and adventurous cook but has a long work day. We will probably have leftover scallopini made from pork tenderloin. Between DH's low fat diet and my low carb we do everything from scratch. Vani, I love Aloo Palak and that it can be made lower fat. I've got to try that! I can't eat even small amounts of rice but substitute chopped steamed cauliflower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-323033 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 16:58:50 +0000 rae 323033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is making me hungry!</p> <p>Lately I've been doing a lot of broiled white ruffy on a bed of baby spinach. It's fast, easy, and the fish has a mild flavor that takes different marinades well, so I can switch it up. </p> <p>I've also made some obanyaki (a Japanese street food we got hooked on during a trip) filled with Nutella.

Tonight, the plan is for a chicken stir fry type dish with <a href="http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Dictionary/S/Sazon-Seasoning-6259.aspx">sazon</a> seasoning and black eyed peas salad. I also will be marinating some chicken to grill for tomorrow night's dinner. The simpler the better with my unpredictable work schedule and all the furniture assembly and unpacking (even after 2 months!) going on at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-322976 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:12:50 +0000 Mo 322976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly, a lot of frozen foods because of my lack of mobility (and stamina to stand for very long). Wanna come cook for me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-whats-cookin#post-322973 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:04:50 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on a cooking kick this week- I was going to make a pork roast with honey glazed carrots and apple compote yesterday, but then I realized that my roast is almost 8 pounds and I didn't have time to cook it. So, I made a double batch of the apple compote and served that with pancakes and bacon for dinner- we will have the rest with the pork roast tomorrow. Today, I'm making Coq Au Vin from Curtis Stone's recipe. I've been thinking about a spring potluck that we have in a couple of weeks. I think that I am going to make Mac N Cheese 'cupcakes' (have made these before and they are great bring along food), and some sausage shish kebobs.<br /> What's cookin' at your house lately? </p>
