What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[tarheelmjfan]

@tarheelmjfan - off the top of my head

Cold sesame noodles; add whatever veggies you like best. Julienned carrots and cukes are a favorite on this end.

Tofu fried rice. Personally, I like the texture of silken tofu best but use what you like as same for the add in vegetables. Hehehe, maybe use cauliflower florets to sub the broccoli?
A no recipe recipe:

Black bean soup- sauté equal parts onions and peppers plus chopped garlic in olive oil. When onions are translucent, add cumin to taste (about 1/4 tsp per can). Mix in canned black beans and veggie broth until soupy in consistency. When heated thru you can top in ind. bowls with sour cream and minced scallion tops. Add hot sauce if you like. You can also serve with cooked rice in beans if you like. A good way to use up a jar of commercially made salsa too. Uhh I frequently cook recipe free, lol.

HTH and enjoy your visit!

Hot and Sour Soup -- the recipe uses pork and chicken broth, but I don't see why you couldn't use vegetable broth and sub veggie pot stickers for the meat. I always add extra tofu.

And the Cold Sesame Noodles (just add as much tofu as you'd like) and Tofu Fried Rice recipes linked by @NYCgrrl would work well, too!

Thanks for the recipes. It's supposed to get really cold here next week. The black bean soup will be perfect. DS has plenty of tofu in the fridge. I'm going to trust you guys that DH & I will find it edible in one of these recipes. If not, I'm blaming you.

Tonight we are having hot butter lobster rolls with fries.

Dang, I think you need an intervention and I’m up for it!

So I’m rolling instead of running; move along cause I’m hungry

Got a call from my BIL this morning. Apparently he heard his wife and I talking about the candied orange peel I made for the pfferneuse cookies and asked me to bring some with me tomorrow. So I peeled “supremed” a few more oranges today and made the house smell good. Tomorrow or early this morning, I’ll dip half in chocolate that my home attendant was kind enough to chop up.

Eating the rest of the Italian wedding soup tonight and for sure it’s cut up oranges and mint for dessert.

IDK what's wrong with me. Maybe that I've finally made it to a holiday break and also still don't feel well, that I just have no desire to do anything. I have two pies I needed to make today and they didn't get made. I guess I'll do it later or tomorrow morning.
As far as tonight, Mexican food.

Tonight is pizza. We always eat pizza Thanksgiving Eve. My sister and BIL will be joining me (they should get here in another half hour).

I baked a small turkey today. Dh sliced it up and I put the bones in a bag to make turkey stock in a few days. We eat at my mom’s house tomorrow, but I wanted turkey for sandwiches, soups, etc.

I baked cornbread today so it will dry out a bit before tomorrow. I do make oyster dressing to take to mom’s.

Currently have clam chowder simmering on the stove. It will be ready soon for dinner tonight,

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Yesterday was a leftover day. I had commandeered the oven for the cherry pie and sweet potato casserole that we’re bringing to my SIL’s house. We’re actually on the road right now. Left at 5am. It’s the only way to get off Long Island without sitting in traffic. (And even then, it’s not a guarantee. ) I’m waving to you as we drive past, NYCgrrl!

 

[Meriweather]

I am not hosting so can only guess at the basics

turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli, green salad, cranberry salad, veggies and dip, cheese and crackers,
Pumpkin custard and another pie that DS is in charge of. He said either pecan or lemon meringue

Happy thanksgiving!

I am going to my parents and it will be a small group this year. DH caught my cold so he won’t be going. My mom’s BF and aunt are also sick. The girls are going to their moms in Maryland. So just the 3 of us so we are cutting way back.

Turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, rolls, and cranberry sauce. I made a chocolate mouse pie, blueberry pie is in the oven now and I also planned to make an apple crumble pie but that seems like a lot to have 3 pies for 3 people.

 

[WorldWacky]

Hopefully, everyone who is sick will feel better soon. I’m grateful I’m finally at the tail end of my cold.

DInner tonight? Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce are definite. Veggie choices will be turnip (rutabaga if you aren't from New England), squash, green pea casserole- not that I'll make them all, but that's what I have on hand to choose from. Desserts are eggnog pie and apple cobbler (both are definite), then cherry pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cream pie, and/or cheesecake. Dessert depends on what people decide to make today. There's also ice cream and whipped cream. WAAAAYYYYY too much, but it's Thanksgiving!

 

[hertamaniac]

I made dill cucumber salad for today.

I’m doing my best imitation of my Mommy today. Dressed up, lipstick on, ready to be the perfect guest. Nephew will come to get me at 11:00 am and I’m quite sure I’ll be directing/advising/agreeing in the kitchen just as I do every year only in a chair. This is why she told him to pick me up so early. Quality time with elder sister giggling about the past, present, and future; may these days never end.
No idea what will be served in total but I will certainly enjoy the company.

Happy Thanksgiving, One and All!

Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, butternut squash, carrots and turnips, green bean casserole, Portuguese chourico stuffing, French meat dressing, bread stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and rolls.
Happy Thanksgiving

Just me and husband and we'll be having small turkey breast as well as mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce(for my DH b/c I think it's gross even though I'll eat just about anything else cranberry), biscuits, and then I made my moms recipe of pumpkin pie for dessert (it got made this morning). I was going to make the other pie which is an Oreo pudding pie but I figured b/c it's just us and won't get eaten tonight and we move towns tomorrow, so that I'll just save making the other pie for when we're settled in our new place. Not to mention it's snowing like crazy up here and in the town we are in now, we're supposed to get somewhere b/t 9 inches to a foot of snow lol.

I hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving.
