I'm meeting one of my best friends partner tonight (he just flew in from the US yesterday), they are coming for dinner. So we are having:
Antipasto with Brie, Sharp Cheddar, Procuitto and Warm olives w/Chorizo
Baked Chicken with Mushrooms, tomatoes & Brandy, on sauted spinach w/garlic and Cauliflower rice.
Pears Poached in red wine with syrup and vanilla bean ice cream.
And lots of red wine and laughter (and maybe even some coffee table dancing ;))
Oooh everyone is having fancy stuff!!!
Spag bog here tonight - and I don't have a store bought sauce, so I'm just gonna chuck everything in, close my eyes, and hope it comes out edible.
mmmm to lazy to think of dinner.
will find soemthing in the freezer when i get home.
or hubby will cook something
My word, Niliac! That sounds absolutely amazing. I hope you have a wonderful time (I am sure you guests will with a menu like that!)
We're having Savoury Rice Bake - and I'm feeling super organised and proud of myself cos it's all made and ready to just chuck in the oven later. Oh and it's such a big recipe that it's made two so there's one in the freezer ready for another day.
cai im drooling onto the keyboard again!!
us...mmmm not sure yet :lol:
Gourmet sausages (chicken, pumpkin, pesto and pinenuts) and (chicken, mango, cashews and sweet chilli)
with mash
YUM YUM
just decided on a boring old pasta bake!
Indeed. It was the first way I liked pumpkin - until DH introduced me to butternut, which is yummy any way!:
Sounds delish Niliac! We are having chicken too, but a little less on the extravagant. DH wants another Chicken Cacciatore, so I'll be throwing that together tonight.
Haven't worked out dessert yet. chocolate mousse i guess.
we are having soy anf ginger steamed snapper with grean beans and bokchoy rice and mango tiramisu for dessert feeling exotic ;)
OK, question here - how many of us have dessert as a regular thing (eg: every night or nearly every night)? Or more than one course at an everyday meal?
We rarely have dessert now (since we moved to Nth Qld and DP started drinking beer instead of red wine he is not as keen, and I am less inspired to make it if I'm the only one to eat it, especially now that we have a kiddo), but on the rare occasion that we do it is something thrown together like fruit and cheese, or a few pieces of good dark chocolate, or a bowl of ice-cream or sorbet, or I might poach some pears. I used to bake a lot but don't really have the time any more, or maybe it's a colder climate thing? Hmmm, it's got me thinking. Now I want dessert.
ETA: not sure what we are having for dinner. We've been packing all day, so probably something from the freezer. I think there's some goulash in there somewhere. Or Moroccan lemon chicken.
hmmmm dinner tonight NOT sure...tonight is shopping night...sooo probably a BBQ chook and bread rolls :(
its only an occasional thing in our house, but does tend to happen in runs of 3 ights in a row then nothing for 2 weeks.
tends to be basic thought eg ice cream or cakes bought from bakery, or frozen cheescake rom supermarket or those mini microwave puddings.
Last night we little lemon tarts from bakery with ice cream and tonight or another night this week i have the very yummy king island belgian choc desert things delicious expensive but yummy!!!!!!
Steak with mushroom sauce and mash for us tonight!! Or maybe sweet potato chips instead of mash hhmmm
suse we rarely do desert!! Im a big baker but mostly just healthy treats for DP and myself to take to work!
I'm gonna try making a Chicken & Veg Pie (ooh, that rhymes!) from my 4 ingredients cookbook - I'll let you know how it goes!
we do desserts a couple times a week depends what time DF gets home really.
Italian & Vege Mince with toast soilders for DS to dip!! That is his latest phase!!
tonight is a mini roast herb chook with roast potatoes and pumpkin and some peas and corn. YUMMY
I do the dessert thing because it encourages the kids to eat all their dinners. They dictate their dinner portion size too. We used to just do it but we found out our eyes were bigger than their bellies. It was a bit like telling the kids to put on a jumper because I am cold.
I do make them all from scratch so between dinner and dessert I can spend most of the night in the kitchen.
Lauren - I was going to do a tiramisu but couldnt find any mascarpone cheese. Doh.
suse, DH and I rarely do a proper dessert, though most evenings we will have a little something sweet after dinner - maybe a lolly or two or share a choccie. Ever since I was a kid I have always craved something sweet in the evenings (the difference is that now it goes straight to the hips!). I LOVE baking and if given half the chance, I would always have a cake/brownies/muffins in the house. DH tries to discourage this because it is only really the two of us that end up eating ALL of it! I am definitely looking forward to having kids to bake dessert for oneday :)
If we have bikkies in the house we'll generally have one or two of them - but I've found myseld making an official 'dessert' - generally just jelly or scones - on my days off, when I actually have time :)
dessert if often a bought rice puddin from the shops :) or icecream...nothing special
we were bad tonight..and ordered pizza...it was sooo yummy..i ate too much though and now feel sick :(
Chow mein tonight! minus the mince lol but soo yummy - charlotte liked hers more after she pured her cordial on it and then ate it ;) pmsl
such a trippa
omg lime slice thats so cute haha :lol:
Home made lasagna with garlic bread... Oh and a glass of red!!
rib eye mushrooms, squash and red wine sauce
tuna and veg pasta for LJ
suse, we usually only have dessert if we are entertaining. And we entertain once sometimes twice a week. It might be cake, or even just milk and hot cookies or it might be something way more elaborate. Just depends on the time I have and the moula ;) I have a really great peach/apricot frangipani recipe thats super easy, and you can have all the ingredients in the cupboard for emergencies all you need is custard or a good vanilla bean ice cream to go with.
Can you Pleaaaase share your Frangipanni recipe??? :D
Deb posted for you hon :)
Oh and if you have a Coonarra/Fireplace or even a gas stove top... a quick and extra yummy dessert is smores. You don't have to be camping to have smores.
Digestive biscuits
Lindt or thin block (like cote dor - we used to use milka but you can't get it anymore) it has to be thin or it won't melt
Marshmallows.
Toast your marshmallow over the flame, place a square of chocolate on one digestive, top with roasted marshmallow and top with another digestive, wait for the chocolate to melt and then enjoy :)
