Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - luvnit - 03-16-2010 Finally having the salmon cakes modified by Vicci with the citrus sour cream mashed potatoes. What are you all having? Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - Gourmet_Mom - 03-16-2010 I'm trying the Garlic Chicken Alfredo from the new issue. YUM! There's peas in the dish, but I'll set out the salad mix and vinaigrette, too. Again, I'm wanting some bread with this, but don't need it. The urge is strong to make some up this weekend...that's for sure! BTW, the freezing in foil worked so well last time, I'm thinking of making two batches this go round. Does anybody know if it works equally as well for half a loaf? Cut it in half after cooling or make smaller loaves? Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - luvnit - 03-16-2010 Daphe I made that dish and meant to review it, but never got around to it. It was WONDERFUL! The whole family loved it and I am so glad I made a double batch! Definitely a keeper. Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - Gourmet_Mom - 03-16-2010 I sure am glad I have the ingredients to double it. It just so happened I set out the pack of two chicken breasts instead of the one...so I have to double it. Good to know it's a good one. I'm planning on using Gruyere and Parm for my cheeses....can't wait! Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - luvnit - 03-16-2010 Okay we are done with Vicci's rendition of the salmon cakes and citrus mashed potatoes. First I will say that both my husband and I loved the citrus mashed. I even added some orange zest to it. They were wonderful. I can see these with pork roast or other baked fishes. Really good. Will do these again. Okay the salmon cakes. Try as I might I just cannot get over the 'spine bones' in the canned salmon. Sorry, but they just gross me out. That aside, the flavor of the overall recipe was great. I do like the orange and chipotle with the salmon. They also had a pretty good texture but I would also try this same technique with crab cakes. I think that would be really awesome too. Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - Harborwitch - 03-16-2010 My mother always left the bones in the canned salmon - gag . I always take the skin and the bones out - just not my cup '0' tea with them in there. She always said it was extra calcium - yeah, and bugs are extra protein. We were going to have mussels (from the newest Food & Wine) with fennel and pernod. Crusty bread was needed, all the bread in 2 stores in Bismarck was soft squishy stuff. I'm not sure what we're having now. Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - luvnit - 03-16-2010 Quote: ROTFL!!! Sharon, you crack me up! Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - Old Bay - 03-16-2010 We are making pizza in our new brick toaster oven. Using Jeans sourdough pizza dough (from her new, best selling cookbook)!!!! Will let you know what we end up doing, and how it comes out!!! Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - Gourmet_Mom - 03-16-2010 Okay, I haven't had canned salmon since I was a kid, but the visual I'm getting here, I may never have it again. On another note, the Garlic Chicken Alfredo was VERY good. I used Gruyere and Parm for the cheese and subbed half and half for the cream. It was perfectly cheesey and thickened beautifully with the half and half. (We won't discuss the amount of butter here.) I'm glad I doubled it...William had two servings, so with 4(or 5) servings used tonight, I needed the extra for lunch tomorrow. That leaves enough for a side serving for tomorrow night's dinner: the Pizza Wraps from the latest issue of Cuisine for Two tomorrow night. Looking forward to it. Re: Dinner Tonight - 3/16/2010 - karyn - 03-16-2010 We had the Fizzy Chicken from #63. I'm really glad this recipe was discussed recently. I'd overlooked it, and it was really tasty! I served it with a Parmesan and black pepper rice pilaf and green beans. Yummy! |
