What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - cjs - 10-16-2012 What's on the menu for everyone today?? I don't know what we're having yet, but it's going to be something that is NOT rich! Something soothing. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - Roxanne 21 - 10-16-2012 Not a clue---or maybe a salad type of something. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - Trixxee - 10-16-2012 I have leftover cheesy potato soup that is actually almost like a sauce because you coarsely mash the potatoes so I might just heat up a little bit of that over some type of pasta (penne or rigatoni) and top it with a little sliced chicken breast. Must be a small serving though. Waistline seems to be expanding by the day! And in anticipation of that meal, I think I better just have a piece of tilapia for lunch. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - farnfam - 10-16-2012 If someone would help me remember which issue it is in, I have every thing to make the vanilla pears and pork chop dish. I know I have the issue, but which is it??? Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - Trixxee - 10-16-2012 I'm never sure what issue it's in Cis but I found the basic recipe on Noble Pig. They have adapted it from C@H so there are probably a couple of minor changes because of copyright issues. http://noblepig.com/2009/11/vanilla-cider-pork-with-pears-walnut-wild-rice/ Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - BarbaraS - 10-16-2012 Taht recipe is just heaven! Made it last Saturday and the kitchen smelled so wonderful. Tomorrow I'll bring in the leftovers and terrorize my co-workers! Barbara Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - Mare749 - 10-16-2012 Here is the one I've copied, so that you can compare the two. Vanilla Cider Pork With Pears Melt Butter; Add: 3 Tbs unsalted butter 3 Bosc pears, peeled, cored, and quartered Season; Dredge in Flour and Saute: 1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed, sliced into twelve 1-inch-thick medallions, seasoned 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Combine and Deglaze Pan; Brint to a Boil: 1 cup chicken broth 1 cup hard apple cider 1/3 cup heavy cream Add; Boil and Reduce by Half: 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped Salt and pepper to taste 1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears and saute until lightly browned; remove from pan. 2. Season pork with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Saute medallions for 2 minutes on each side in the same pan the pears were sauteed in; remove from pan. 3. Combine broth, cider, and cream; add to the pan to deglaze. Bring to a boil. 4. Add vanilla pod and seeds. Boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Return pears and pork to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Boil until thick, about 4 minutes.

Tonight will be a copycat recipe of Olive Garden's Zuppa, but mine will be made with Italian turkey sausage to save calories. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - cjs - 10-16-2012 Fell back on an favorite - pizza. I'm playing with a 2-day fermented dough, so used 1/4 of it today. Didn't want anything rich, so went with these topping and wow, great flavor. Cannellini beans, smashed and mixed with 1 tsp. chopped capers, 3 large cloves roasted garlic, lots of pepper and the goop from the baking sheet I baked a lonely little chicken breast (seasoned with truffle salt and Laura's seasoned pepper) on. Very little of the cheese: mozz, smoked gruyere, parm & romano chicken slices tomato slices red onion slices. Just what we were looking for. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - losblanos1 - 10-16-2012 Jean, I'd like to order one for delivery, and make it a large, please! Outstanding! Tonight's dinner is an old favorite- Jalapeno beef with tortilla chili sauce over mashed potatoes. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 10/16/12?? - cjs - 10-16-2012 You got it!!
