What is your favorite dinner?

[JudyH]

Lets start something new. Your favorite dinner. Something you actually prepare.

Mine is a large pork chop stuffed with stuffing, smothered in cream of mushroom and celery or chicken soup, seared in a cast iron pan and finished in the oven. Serves 2. Yum.

I don't cook so my favorite dinner is dh's spaghetti carbonara. It's what he cooked for me on one of our first dates. I was sold.

 

[bluehende]

A nice steak from the grill with grilled corn and asparagus. Maybe a half dozen raw oysters for an appetizer. Yes I can shuck an oyster.

 

[clifffaith]

Lasagna. It is just about the only cooking I do. Make it two or three times a year.

 

[GetawaysRus]

To be honest, leftovers. It means that we didn't have to cook and the clean-up will be minimal.

I know that's not really what you were asking. So, to stick with the spirit of the thread, I really enjoy home-cooked liver and onions. Calf liver and lots of onions. It's getting difficult to find calf liver in the stores, however.

Made it last week. A rack of baby back ribs with a sweet/spicy rub, smoked over hickory for 3-4 hours, then finished on the grill with corn and peaches halved, brushed with evoo and grilled. I like smoked and/or grilled darn near anything. Beef, pork, salmon. I'm flexible. Wash it down with a good IPA.

A beef pot roast with potatoes and carrots. YUMMY. The house smells amazing while that's cooking.

Lasagna is another favorite...it's what my husband makes for our Christmas dinner.

Now I'm hungry....

Anything with pasta, shrimp, or my lentil soup.

I don't eat meat generally- but I love making the pot roast for Anthony in the crock pot because it does smell so good when it is cooking!

Dh makes lasagna for our Christmas day dinner as well. He does a prime rib with Yorkshire pudding for Christmas Eve. We used to make the lasagna together. It was an all day project and kept us busy on Christmas day. After the kids came dh did the lasagna by himself. Now he does it in the slow cooker. It doesn't look as nice when it's served up, but it still tastes delicious!

Glad you asked: My own homemade spaghetti dinner. I cook it the way my Mom taught me - only measure what you have to, season smart, and cook till it looks and tastes right.

I start by sauteeing a sliced-up Italian sausage in olive oil, add ground beef, ground pork, season it up with my own Italian seasonings, garlic powder, dried onion, salt and pepper, maybe a dash or two of chili powder, whatever else jumps out of the spice cupboard. After it's well cooked and drained, I pour in a jar of (Paul) Newman's Own "Sockarooni" spaghetti sauce and a tall can of tomato sauce, then refill the jar halfway with water, shake, and stir it in. Let it all simmer together on medium-low heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally. When it's just about done right (to my taste), I boil the pasta. I like angel hair pasta, but most anything works. I'm more about the sauce than the noodles. When that pasta is cooked just aldente enough, I turn off the heat. Drain the pasta, then back in the emptied pot, stirred up with maybe a splash of olive oil to keep it from sticking. Served with fresh-baked garlic bread, and maybe a tossed salad, and it's Game On! (I'm suddenly hungry! )

I'll be there for dinner. Love pasta, and like you mostly the sauce.

 

[JudyH]

Wow. I love all these. Including the liver.

 

[pedro47]

I loved all of the meals and with any flavors of Blue Bell ice creams as desserts.
Livers and onions, ice tea with cornbread.

 

[bizaro86]

My favorite thing I personally make is prime rib.

Although cedar plank salmon is a close second.

 

[Free2Roam]

Baked salmon, spinach and brown rice. Add in a nice baked Maryland style jumbo lump crabcake and I'm in heaven! I cook the salmon, spinach and rice regularly. I don't make crabcakes as often.

Also love chicken enchilada soup. A friend turned me on to it about a year ago. I make it at least once a month in my Crockpot.

 

[taterhed]

Filet Mignon with Mustard Caper Cream Sauce.

Lightly cooked filets pan-fried in butter and swimming in a tart and tangy cream sauce.

the best.

Wild Mushrooms optional.....

I can’t say I have a favorite, I like to cook and I like to eat so there’s dozens of things I like enough to consider favorites.

We’ve eaten pretty well this week so far:

Grilled adobo chicken with homemade corn tortillas and pickled Mexican cabbage

Whole wheat penne with sautéed chicken and celery leaf pesto, plus a salad of spring mix, cheddar cheese, walnuts and black raspberries tossed with white balsamic & extra virgin olive oil

Grilled grass fed ribeyes, buttered brown rice and a salad of heirloom tomato, feta, purple onion and kalamata olives, sprinkled with flaky sea salt and extra virgin olive oil.

And tonight was this weeks winner. Someone posted a recipe to FB today for Cambodian Black Pepper Beef, sounded good so I made it. Wow that was fabulous. Here’s the recipe:

Depends on who is the Chef for the meal.

If is is Patti then Rib Roast, Yorkshire Pudding, Garlic Smashed Potatoes with Sour Cream, Thin Slice Brussel Sprouts Cooked in a Skillet. Of course lots of Gravy. Russian Creme for Dessert.

If I am cooking 20 pound Turkey with Bread Stuffing, Baked Sweet Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, and Green Beans lightly spokesman garlic and oil in a Skillet. Chocolate Mayo Cake with Home Made Carmel Icing or Sour Cherry Pie.

um, I don't know, I'm not keen on their tongue flavored ice cream...

 

[clifffaith]

Avoid the tongue flavor by buying brands that have a seal around the carton. Tonight we had Safeway Select Java Chip, safely sealed until I peeled the safety strip off.

 

[rickandcindy23]

I do love pot roast, Rick makes the gravy. So good. I also really love the tri-tip in the deli section at Costco, cooked in my Pampered Chef crock, then served with mashed potatoes with Rick's gravy again, and a big salad.

But tonight we had hot dogs on the grill with sauerkraut and a little mustard, and I loved those, too, with a big salad and small bunch of potato chips.

What? Let me in on that bit of news.

 

[Passepartout]

What? Let me in on that bit of news.

It had to do with a news story about a woman being busted for tasting ice cream in the store out of the carton then putting it back in the freezer. You have to think it wasn't the first time.
