Caesar salad, Garlic bread, Baked Ziti with a nice Rosso di Montalcino and some home made read pudding for dessert.

Sounds delicious beans.

Last night I had some sriracha shrimp with noodles. The recipe called for udon noodles and this was my first time working with them. Overall, I was quite pleased with it and it had a little bit of heat to it as well.

You're killing me Irishman12! That looks really good. Salute!

Appreciate it beans!

Yeah, really nice i12

Now, these days, they(Green Giant) have a pizza crust made out of cauliflower, so we bought 1 while doing our food shopping over the weekend , so we all know cauliflower doesn't really pair well w/ red sauce , so traditional pizza is out , in keeping w/ the veg & healthy theme..I thought more like some ricotta. spinach, artichoke , lots of fresh garlic, some fresh mozz 4 extra body & maybe a little tiny dice tomato & of course red pepper flake w/ sea salt ...u cant really put 2 much on it as it's a thin crust, & also may b flimsy , so all toppings will b light.....were not doing this till the weekend,so i'll let u know...Slainte!!

Looking forward to hearing or seeing it turn out.

I find less is more with any plan.

We did Pork Chops tonight with a very cool side, we sautéed a small onion, put it chopped par boiled potatoes and then added a bag of microwaved peas into the mix, after sauté in all of this together we served it as a side with the chops, I loved it.

When cooking plain & simple American..we often do rice a roni w/ peas mixed in ….works well & u get both starch & veg in 1 bite.

somehow messed up that last post Dues..

Today I'm eating one of my favorite food
Potatoes!!!

While running errands this morning, I cheated & bought a SINFUL delight that is not good 4 the weight ...1 of my favorites... .BUTTERCAKE!!! the wife knows I've been a good boy (foot & back massages etc.)..so she'll let me slide on this one, besides ,I don't say shit 2 her when she indulges on savory junkfoods (chips & cheese pretzels etc.)...cant wait 4 dessert 2 nite.

Funny , when I was younger , I could give two shits about Potato, bread , pasta and cakes.... now older.... its all I want and dream of.



Good for you Hood, ENJOY.

What is it,,, like a pound cake? I think we called that Pound Cake.... yes Butter cake.... right.

When I was kid and my Mother was going out, my Da would cook us kids dinner, they were always the best and always the same.

He would chop up a bunch of Onions fry them up in a huge pan with tons of butter, then trough in hamburgers he hand made.
Throw the burger cut in half on some really good local Italian bread smother it with fried onions and salt the heck out of it, he would put the smallest amount of mayo one side and ketchup the other side. It was Fantastic.

I am doing that shortly for my Wife for Dinner. Its the easiest simple thing to do.
We were a bit sauced out for pasta today so she asked...” Will you make me your Da’s pan burgers” ....... hearing that I ran out of the house like a flash to get the bread.

Here’s to great memories, good times and food.

Sounds awesome DP. Enjoy and if you could, post a pic. I'd be curious to see how they turn out please.

You Got it i12......

Here ya go......

So Good. The only thing I forgot to mention was the Cheddar Cheese, I like to use Vermont sharp yellow.

Wow, that looks amazing DP! Getting me hungry.

Loving that Dues. Interesting twist with the mayo on one side. Have to try that! Beer or wine with that?

Did you add cheese on that dues?

Thanks i12, do it up, its so easy.




Hi Beans, yes Sir, forgot to mention that in first post.... I like the Sharp yELLOW CHEDDAR with onions and beef but any cheese on hand will do.

Nice Dues! Going to make it this week!

Enjoy Beans.....

Tonight I made some Thai Chicken.

Took two breast, glazed it in Thai chili sauce placed in a baking dish oven at 400 for 50 minutes.
Comes out perfect. Let it stand for 5 min and sliced it up.

Made some stove top stuffing and mixed veggies carrots & beans actually.

Looks good DP!

Last night I made some Buffalo Mac & Cheese with bacon. Sauce was made from scratch. Not too bad honestly.

Sounds great.

I roasted a chicken and served it with a Sweet potato and asparagus.

Making chicken soup with the bones now for tomorrow.

Enjoy.

Last night was a healthy alternative to spaghetti and meatballs: zoodles with ground chicken meatballs (threw on some Parmesan cheese in the photo). Came out pretty good.

Wow,, that looks great i12

Not sure why that copied twice.

Thanks DP. I don't mind the zoodles, only problem is they can be too crunchy and cold. I tried cooking these in the pan more (5-7 minutes on medium-high heat) but you have to be careful and not overcook them. Then they'll turn mushy but I do like it as a way to get more vegetables in my diet.

Yes, I enjoy veggies. Ive seen this being done and it looks good, not tried though but I think yours looks great.

This seams like something I would try dinning out but your brave to take that on, nice job.

You should give it a shot. Don't be scared of it! Honestly, I had some of the leftovers last night and it was actually better. I know traditional pasta is when refrigerating it but I didn't know the same would apply to zoodles.

I am not sure I have the correct attachment to make the zucchini come out that thin. I will check.

Lately I keep forgetting to take pics of food, hate that. Love to post and share.
Will try to remember.

Wife made a baked Ziti today.
