Butch Femme Planet - What are you having for dinner tonight?

left over shrimp I grilled last night.
horrible left over Spanish rice I made last night too.
horrible because I burnt it yet the damn rice is still crunchy.
even my girls dogs won't eat the rice, nope took a wiff and walked away.
I hate to cook because I'm the one that's got to eat it!

Roasted parsnips drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with every day spice from Trader Joe's

Brownies for dessert :) :chocolate:

Roast beef, parsnips, glazed carrots, curly kale, sweetcorn and some form of potato, mash or steamed, not decided yet.

I bought a big enough piece of beef for dinner and slice cold cuts for sandwiches through the week. My aim is to not eat a slice every time I go to the kitchen so there is at least enough left for a decent sandwich tomorrow :D

PESTO +

Hot spagetti squash, veggie samich, sour cream (kicker dip), plain yoghurt (also dip), in scrambled eggs, hot plain broth, add cayenne if you have cold, leftover chicken (make salad), tomato mozzarella cheese salad, chicken or veggie soup, dressing for green salad.... love pesto... :rrose: so many uses, so good for ya.

Yes!!! Use finely crunched up crackers(something with a buttery nature to it as opposed to a saltiney nature) instead of breadcrumbs and use more crab meat than cracker. Whatever wet ingredients you put in it make sure there is a little mayonaise in there somewhere, and don't forget to season with salt, pepper, Louisiana hot sauce, and old bay seasoning.

This is the Crab Cake recipe I use, give or take a tweak here and there. :) I prefer to use sweet potato.

I hate it when I feel like I need to eat the rest of something that tasted crappy the first time!

Teddy is trying a new recipe for a crab bake casserole that we LOVE at our favorite restaurant. He even teased me with the possibility of making it into the topping for stuffed portabella mushrooms sometime. If it comes out as good as we are hoping, I will be sure to post it in the delicious thread :)

Chilled Red Quinoa Salad (improvised and surprisingly tasty): 3/4 Cup cooked/chilled Red Quinoa; 1 diced California Avocado; 1/2 diced Red Tomato (on the vine); 1/3 seeded/diced Cucumber; 1/8 Cup finely diced Yellow Onion; Juice of 1/2 Lemon; 2 tsp Grapeseed Oil; 1/8 tsp Turmeric; pinch Sea Salt.

High in protein and fiber but low in sugar, fats (the bad kind), cholesterol -- and very filling!
