What's for Dinner, Thursday, 5/20?? - cjs - 05-20-2010
What's on the menu for tonight?
I'm starting my cooking for my party on Saturday, so we'll probably just pick at something or other. (I probably should not make the Kahlua today, it might be gone by Saturday!!
)

LOL! I'd wait! I know it'd be gone if it was at my house!
My YS is leaving tomorrow for the summer, so I let him pick menu items for this week. His grand finale choice? Paula Deen's Shrimp and Grits with a salad and Peanut Butter Pie with Fudge Topping or Double-the-Yum Cake...his choice. (I didn't get his cheesecake made...OOOPS! I guess that will go in a care package later in the summer!)
I need to hustle!

I made a new Dr Gourmet recipe that turned out quite well. The recipe called for Halibut, but there was none at the store so I subbed in Cod. It is basically the fish, yellow bell pepper strips, cannelini beans, green onion, olives, and wine with seasonings cooked in a foil pouch. I used kalamata olives instead of black olives and cooked the foil packets on the grill instead of the oven. Since I made a pound of fish, I did not bother with a side dish. We are both full and I will make this often. Very easy, healthy and delicious.

Jean, just make a double batch of kahula!
Daphne, sounds like someone will be missing his Mom's cooking.
Theresa, how do you think that fish recipe be with chickpeas (I don't "do" beans well, but I have some cod loins I need to use)?

I made Chicken Paprikash in the crock pot. The kids gave it a thumbs up.

Vicci, I am not sure. The only time I use chickpeas is for making hummus. The cannelini beans gave a nice creamy texture and allowed the other flavors to shine. I am thinking chickpeas just might work. Let me know if you want the recipe. You can make the foil packets ahead and keep refrigerated for quick and healthy dinner later.

I'd love to see the recipe, Theresa - and I bet chickpeas would be good in it also.

I was finally able to cook in the kitchen. Herb roasted chicken, gravy, rice, and some mixed veggies I found in the freezer. It wasn't what I planned with the chicken - but it was good. Yeah!!!
The leftover chicken will go to something else, we bought a charcoal grill for back here and we're dying to use it - the wind has been horrible though.
