What's for Dinner? - Page 3

Cadaverous Pallor · 06-18-2007, 07:46 AM

The easiest pasta dish in the world without using Ragu in a jar:

Pasta of your choice
canned diced tomatoes (we usually use 2 cans and we have leftovers)
goat cheese crumbles
basil

While pasta is cooking, mix tomatoes (don't drain them, throw the whole can in), cheese and basil in large bowl. Drain pasta and toss with mix. Serve.

GC can vouch for this dish - it's really tasty. Works well with a salad-in-a-bag, garlic bread, etc. If you really want to use your nice new knives, I'd recommend slicing tomatoes and adding a small can of tomato sauce.

I assume that is fresh Basil?

I love fresh sweet Basil!

Tonight's bill of fare: homemade won ton soup, grilled shrimp and green papaya salad.

Tonight will be whatever I scrounge up in the leftover department, before I head off to school.

Lovely.

Gazpacho is chilling in the fridge.

Oooh!!!

I'm jealous.

I've made a huge bowl of scalloped potatoes and ham with lots of cheese. I can't wait for them to come out of the oven!

I've really been into pasta salads lately. I'm just experimenting with whatever sounds good. Right now I have a ranch with ham and smoked cheddar sitting in the fridge.

beans n hocks
prep beans as directed on the package (best to soak overnight).
throw one whole quartered onion, salt, pepper, beans n hocks into the pot with enough water to cover
simmer till beans are done (between 2 and 6 hours)

I could live on those.

veggie version: delete hock

Tonight's dinner: Iceberg lettuce with lowfat/no-taste dressing. Yum.

I was going to apologize, but hey, you started it.

I'd share, but you're too far away.

I recently saw a cookbook that had a "recipe" for Iceberg wedges with thousand island dressing.
