Saturday's Dinner, 2/20/16??

  Re: (...)
What's on the menu for everyone today??

I'm playing with 3 new recipes today and from the looks of them, I'll probably follow to a tee the first time.
a Flank steak stir-fry using a packet of McCormicks Sesame Chicken Stir-fry sauce
for our later snack - S.Western Black Beans, Quinoa & Mango Medly
lastly, Steakhouse Black bread slider rolls

Should be an interesting day.

Finally put my stove on Craigslist and on our County's Buy, Sell, Trade site. Hopefully I can get enough out of it to replace with something I won't fight as much as I do this darn thing I have. Fingers crossed

I had planned to try to make the Lite Lemon Chicken dinner again tonight, but AGAIN, William is vetoing me. He's been talking about cooking a Boston Butt for days. I guess it's BBQ tonight?

Good luck Jean.

I'm with William!

Lunch is pina colada shrimp with a pineapple-rum dipping sauce and dinner, which I've been looking forward to all week, is an Italian grinder.

Finally making Blane's bacon wrapped prawns. Found some nice large ones at Costco this morning. Sides are corn on the cob and spanish rice or just one of the other. Both might be too much.

Well, I'm pleased 2 out of three are great - and, we haven't tasted the third one yet.

The Steakhouse Black bread slider rolls are out of this world. But, I made them too big - 4 oz. - will make 3 oz next batch. So looking forward to Corned Beef/kraut/swiss sliders

This salad - S.Western Black Beans, Quinoa & Mango Medly. I'll gladly post recipes if anyone interested.

Looks good, Jean!

I came on to post that I'm dying over here! William is cooking the butts in the oven and the smell is killing me! I'm trying to read, and I'm so distracted, I found myself reading the same paragraph over and over!

Also, I forgot to mention that I'm using a new slaw recipe for me. I've made it three times already. William loves it. It's quite different from what I grew up with. Ours was always shredded lettuce with just mayo, a splash of vinegar, salt and pepper. This is a KFC copycat recipe. Super easy and yummy!

That's it, Jean. We really like it. Funny, I found it while looking for videos about using my new mandolins to shred cabbage. To be honest, I was reluctant to try it. In the video, the guy cut the cabbage in chunks and put 2/3 in the food processor with the regular blade. Then you pulse it until the cabbage is the right consistancy. Dump and process the rest of the cabbage, chunks of carrot, and chopped onion. Pulse again and proceed with dressing.

You know, you see these videos and think okay? And then they don't work? Shockingly, this one worked perfectly! Lots easier than using the shredder blade. Blew my mind! Done in a couple of minutes! And no frustration when some of the cabbage wants to get between the lid and the blade when using the shredder blade.

I'll have to try the beans, although, the family really likes mine. I start with Bush's Homestyle Onion variety and pretty much add what you have listed minus the water and cornstarch and more onion and bacon. The mustard varies between dried or prepared. Oh, and I put my onion in raw. And bacon slices are raw over the top.

Came back to include the link to the video so you could see the size of the "chunks".

We liked that coleslaw recipe a lot. Haven't made the beans. We buy Bush's also and find they don't need much doctoring.

Almost forgot dinner! We had a busy day again. Katie had a playoff basketball game at 11. Afterwards, I brought Abby and Alyssa home with me to decorate birthday cakes for Katie and for my mother-in-law. We had a family gathering this afternoon with pizza and salad. Tonight, we couldn't decide what we wanted to make, so picked up a rotisseried chicken and potato salad from the deli.
