Monday Dinner??? March 2nd - cjs - 03-02-2009
Trixxee mentioning leftover for today's dinner reminded me we hadn't started a thread for today.
I had two pcs. of Prime Rib left from Valentine's day dinner (Roys), so we'll have those with l/o rstd. garlic-chipotle mashed potatoes.
BUT, for a change I'm making a dessert - it's in the oven right now and oh my, does it ever smell delicious! My Aunt keeps the food section from her newspaper for me and this came from the Everett Herald and looked so good, had to cut it out.
I've had all kinds of crisps over the years, but never a pineapple one - wow.

PINEAPPLE CRISP - Everett Herald
1 large pineapple -- peeled, quartered, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon quick cooking tapioca
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cold butter -- (1 stick) cut into small pieces
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a deep, 2-quart baking dish, combine the pineapple, sugar and tapioca, tossing to mix well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and flour. Add the butter and use a pastry blender or butter knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it forms a crumbly mix.
Sprinkle the butter and flour mixture over the pineapple.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and the top is browned and crisp. Cool on a wire rack.
Makes 8 servings.

I'm doing something with pork chops, but haven't decided what it will be just yet. Looking through some old issues for inspiration.
Your dessert sounds good. We love pineapple.

I'm going to either make the Cajun pasta recipe from the current CAH issue or a tilapia with a smoked paprika rub and parmesan polenta from Cooking Light. I'll decide when I get home.

Split pea soup made with a leftover ham bone and meat from last night's dinner-----served with a grilled cheese sandwich.
Homemade oatmeal cookies for dessert!

Oh my word, 2/3 of this darn dessert is out the door already - it's wonderful!! I'll keep enough to play with some drizzle sauce for it...to gild the lily!!
this is a keeper.

One of my favorite desserts is Pineapple Upsidedown Cake. I can only imagine how wonderful Pineapple Crisp would be!
This is on my list!

Still undecided about the dinner tonite. We had a really, late breakfast/brunch (1pm) and I can never get into cooking when I'm full.
I do have some frozen catfish and some yellow rice, so I might do something Spanish.

That sounds so good I'm drooling. Yum!
I got some Dungeness crab meat at Costco yesterday - may play with that - or it'll be leftover roast pork, mashed taters, and a veg. Not real inspired today.

After working all weekend, I didn't have time for inspiration. So tonight is the old standby of Chicken Fried Steak, mashers, and peas....comfort food for a cold night....BRRRRRR!
I can't wait to try the Pineapple Crisp....like Laura, one of my favs is Pineapple Upside Down Cake!
