It's DH's birthday!
We're having steaks on the charcoal, grilled balsamic asparagus, stir fry green beans, cheesy mashed potatoes /Yams.
Then I baked a apple crumble pie for dessert. He's not a cake kinda guy!

All I can say is YUMMMM to your birthday meal!
I'm going out to dinner for a friend's birthday, I made chicken enchilidas for DH and LO so all they have to do is throw them in the oven to cook!
-
@locavore_mama: sounds delicious!
We're having butternut squash risotto.
-
Yay Happy Birthday lovavore_papa!
We're having leftover butternut squash/sweet potato/carrot bisque. I made it for our anniversary last week at DH's request (we served it at our wedding), and he immediately asked for it again.
-
We're either having lettuce wraps or spicy peanut noodles....not sure which one yet.
-
I am keeping it simple tonight... I have to go into work at 0300 so we're having fluffy belgian waffles so I can go to bed early.
-
@PurplePeony: I want to put Acorn squash in risotto next. Do you cube or puree the squash?
@lovehoneybee: LOL locavore_papa love it
-
@locavore_mama: Sounds delish!
We are going to have salmon burgers w/ mashed avocado/guac and maybe some oven fries.
-
I don't like cooking for myself and I am doing 30 day Shred after R goes to bed. So late dinner so probably a sandwich or salad.
Blah, I hate having a husband that travels.
-
@locavore_mama: Not sure how @PurplePeony: does it but I cube, roast and puree the squash before adding it in.
-
turkey tacos. yum
-
Played it kinda easy tonight. Made pasta and a sauce made out of blended chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, margarine and nutritional yeast. Added some spinach to it. It was ok but I feel it lacked something. Got it off Pinterest.
-
@locavore_mama: Jealous!
We're having Iowa Girl Eats' Homestyle Chicken and Noodles tonight.
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: I make a similar sauce sometimes but add crushed red pepper and a little bit of stock (chicken or veg).
-
@lovehoneybee: Hmm, good idea!
-
Butternut squash mac and cheese.
I also make bnut squash risotto and have had good luck just roasting it and cubing it and then just tossing it in. easier than pureeing to me. -
@locavore_mama: yum! happy birthday to him!
chicken cacciatore
-
@lovehoneybee: you cube then roast?? How do you cube? In Acorn squash the shell is so hard. Easier with a butternut or spaghetti squash.
-
Yum! That sounds delish.
It's our anniversary so DH was going to pick up sushi on his way home tonight! Can't wait.
-
Not sure. I'm not feeling great but it's our anniversary so I feel like we should do something...
-
@mrskc: hey, wedding date twin!
-
@locavore_mama: Sounds delicious! Happy birthday to your DH!
I'm having cheese ravioli....easy and I'm lazy today!
-
Beef stew, my house smells delish
-
@locavore_mama: Shoot, sorry, I was thinking about sweet potatoes! With the squash I just cut them in half, roast, and scoop out the flesh when it's tender! I've never used acorn squash, though, are they easy enough to cut in half?
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: sounds like it would have been good with some other seasoning.... or a spice?
-
@mediagirl: Yeah, I'll have to tweak it next time for sure.
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: I like making things with nutritional yeast instead of cheese sometimes so please let me know if you do end up tweaking it and it turns out well!!
-
Spicy salmon in the slow cooker with cheesy bacon ranch potatoes and boiled carrots, leftover from last night. Yum!
-
@mrskc: & @mediagirl: happy anniversary!
-
@lovehoneybee: Yea, that's what I do. The shell is kinda hard so I wouldn't want to cube it! You can't really peel it like you can with spaghetti or butternut.
-
Some of the green tomatoes we picked have finally ripened, so DH made some pasta sauce.
-
Green Curry with chicken and eggplant!
-
@locavore_mama: I've done it both ways, but this time I just roasted and cubed it. With acorn squash (or any type, really) you can cut it into strips and roast with the skin on, and it'll peel off easily once the squash is soft -- then you just dice up each strip. I prefer cubes because sometimes the purée makes it seem a little too sweet for my taste. I also have some Swiss chard in the fridge that I'll probably chop, steam, and mix into tonight's batch.
-
I thawed a beef filet (that has been in my freezer FOREVER...i hope it's not nasty!) but i have NO idea what to serve it with. Harumph.
-
@mediagirl: *high five*
@mrs. bird: thanks!
-
Happy birthday to your DH! Your dinner sounds delicious!
I have no clue what to make. Energy level is at an all time low, and I don't want to cook.
-
Baked sweet potatoes topped with vegetarian chili and plain Greek yogurt. We needed something easy/fast since I'm working late and he's crazy busy.
-
My mom is cooking Korean food tonight. Last night I made ground turkey, spinach and risotto lasanga rolls with a butternut squash sauce.
-
Happy bday to the DH!! We are having Middle eastern takeout.. Shwarma, falafel, veggie sides.
