What are you cooking?

Going for comfort food tonight so I'm going to have a chicken sundae.

What is a chicken sundae?

What is a chicken sundae?

LOL! Figured that question would come up.

A chicken sundae is sliced chicken and shrooms simmered in gravy over mashed taters with corn in the taters. Chicken sundae is just what I call it.

We are living on quick cool meals the past few days because we enjoy "dining" in the pond house and it is terribly hot. Rolled cold cuts with cheese, wraps, and boiled hot dogs. I pulled the one eye burner from the RV and put it on the pond house porch to boil hot dogs, Cooking inside heats the kitchen which has way insufficient A/C for current weather.

Tonite --- I have an order in at a local roadside kitchen. BBQ ribs and baked potato. We will add hydroponic tomatoes from a local farm. This will be the heaviest meal since the 4th.

Another blazing hot day. I made chilled avocado soup. I blended a ripe avocado and cucumber with goats milk kefir and lime juice. Silky smooth, creamy and delicious. Cold pasta salad for entre.

 

[jaylach]

I LOVE pasta salad but prefer mayo based, actually Miracle Whip. I use shell pasta as the shells act like little spoons. Lot of bacon and hard boiled eggs with shredded carrot, red onion, red bell pepper and a lot of black pepper. If a small batch I also include shredded cheddar cheese but it gets weird after a couple of days if I make a large batch. Sometimes I'll add chopped celery but not often as I'm not a big celery fan; it does add a nice crunch though. Problem is that most of the celery would end up wasted as the pasta salad is pretty much all I'd use it for.

We're having havgus cheese chicken Florentine (spinach) again. It turned out great a couple weeks ago & that's all I could think about today. Quick before the cheese gets moldy, it'd be a shame to waste it, although most hard cheese keeps a long time. I'll have to try a different cheese next time, maybe Manchego? Suggestions? When I searched havgus it was ~$50 for some not too large quantity. Eek, too expensive to be a regular food!

I only use celery in a few things: mayo potato salad, chicken soup, shepherd's pie (yeah, yeah, ok, cottage pie) & chicken chow mein. I feel your way about cucumber, as you do about celery, jaylach. A few bites of either in a green salad is plenty for me.

gwand, your avocado/lime soup reminds me of my latest favorite store bought salad dressing. I'm not sure about the cucumber, maybe just a bit? I don't think I've tried keffir, I think it's sort of like liquid-y yogurt? My husband is not a goat cheese fan. Is it very goat-tangy or are there other kinds of keffir? I know it's supposed to be healthy.

There are cows milk kefir. It also works well using buttermilk.

 

[fishorama]

Thanks, gwand! To me for buttermilk my substitution is some vinegar added to milk for spice cake. I think my mom did buttermilk too for awesome waffles.

Got myself a LeCruset braiser at TJ Maxx a month ago and finally used it to make a chicken roast with cabbage and potatoes.

The potatoes were like Iittle mashed potato pouches- so creamy, and the cabbage was so nicely roasted...the chicken was good too

Stew Chicken Caribbean style with Rice, Sweet pepper salad and avocado for dinner

 

[Boundava]

Yum.

 

[jaylach]

Pork chop night! I have a smoked chop that is about an inch and a half thick thawed and ready. To go with will be scalloped taters, Brussels sprouts with red bell peppers and apple sauce.

 

[jaylach]

Got red taters and carrots going in a medium high heat saute. When they are both soft enough and get a little black on the edges I'll make a center area in the pan and toss in a breaded and stuffed chicken breast. The breast is rolled and breaded like Cordon Blue but is stuffed with a three white cheese blend along with artichoke hearts abs spinach.

Really tasty and simple dinner that can be done in one skillet.

@ jaylach
With all your fancy cooking that you do, you probably could get a job in a fancy restaurant if you’re up for it.

Hosting a BBQ for 10 family members on Sunday. I’ll be serving filet mignon with roasted potatoes and broccoli. I will be playing music from the 40s through the 70s—-big band, doowop, rock and roll, and disco. Weather will be perfect.. low 80s with a slight breeze. Should be fun for all.
