I made a huge turkey enchilada casserole for the family last night. It was so big I almost had to consult a structural engineer and pull a permit!
Looks tasty Stauffbier Happy New Years!

Just pulled a boston butt off of the egg and made an apple cole slaw. On a potato roll it's heaven. It's sorta pork and sauerkraut so I hope it's still good luck.

I've literally got tortilla soup simmering away right now haha. Definitely a tasty treat for a chilly day.
Exact same here.
Leftover focaccia , garlic and mozzarella cheese grilled. Haven't made the Mew Years dinner yet. Still up in the air.
Roasted pork, mashed taters and my annual allotment of kraut!

I made three different types of petit fours. White chocolate chambord raspberry, raspberry lemon and lemon.
Smoked pork is on the agenda as soon as the wind is completely died down. Hard to do this in winter in Michigan with a cheap electric smoker.
I didn't cook anything interesting this weekend. Well, technically this holiday at friend's house. I mixed some cream cheese, ham and green onions together for a ham and cheese ball and that's it.
My daughter loves chicken noodle soup, so we bought some noodles made nearby and are going to put them in some turkey stock I cooked up around Thanksgiving and add some carrots and celery. It will be the first time I've had turkey soup and the first time I've ever stripped a carcass down to bones. I fully expect to find some hard things in the soup!

Potato Soup... after a day of brewing Helles!
It wasn't the weekend, but since my young one loves chicken noodle soup so much we bought some fancy "homemade" noodles and melted down the turkey stock I made at thanksgiving. I chopped some celery and carrots, added the noodles and a small amount of water and chicken bouillon to bring the liquid level up where it needed to be with all of those noodles. Seasoned with a bit of parsley and salt and pepper.
Man was it good! There was still too many noodles, but I'm not complaining.

You're trying to make me fat aren't you?
Yesterday I made a pot each of split pea and 15-bean soup. Perfect to have for lunch on this frosty day!

The soup only had 15 beans in it?
Fifteen different types of beans.

I suppose not. Today I apologized for my comments -- does that count?

Already over a week ago, but I made this for the wifey on Christmas night since she worked 12 hours on both Christmas eve and day...
I usually try to incorporate our homemade liquids, so used 1 tbsp of our dry white wine in the pasta dough (cheap Winexpert kit, great for cooking), steamed mussles in 1/2 cup of the wine, boiled the shrimp and pasta in 1 cup wine + water & kosher salt. The mussle juices/wine were then used in the pasta sauce by adding to sauteed garlic, shallots & butter, then reduced til it was a little thicker (also used some flour to thicken) and topped with fresh parsley.
Oh, and the steaks were 60 day aged and the salads were caesar w/ shrimp. This meal kicked ass. She was definitely surprised. :rockin:

Haha. Just trying to make up for all the other sh*t I pull around here.
Love to catch up on this thread before dinner. Nothing fancy here tonight, just some tri-tip on the grill, microwave "baked" potatoes and some fresh broccoli with carrots, chopped garlic and sweet butter- in the microwave as well.

Not at all. I tend to think you look a bit like your avatar, sans horns & tail.

All I cooked today was wort..
I'm brain storming on something quick, easy, and delicious that I can cook for dinner tomorrow, but I'm not feeling inspired enough to come up with any ideas at this moment.

Stauffbier, one of my old easy favorites has become comfort food for my kids. Well there are two
Spaghetti with freshly copped garlic and crunched up fried bacon, some bitter salt and pepper. Parmesan cheese over it
The other is spaghetti again. Sauce is diced canned tomatoes, fresh copped gaic and Italian sausage meatballs and Garlic toast. Simple to make and puts a smile on there face
The comfort food my mom made was hugely simpler.

Made Alton Brown's green bean casserole to see if it is worth the extra effort compared to the canned slop made during the holidays. It is...
Alton Brown's recipes are always an improvement over what I've made previously. And nice pan!

Thx!
I agree mostly. His meatloaf recipe is nasty as far as I'm concerned. Everything else has been great...
My wife's meatloaf recipe is sacrosanct, so we won't be messing with that. For that matter, we probably won't be messing with her GB casserole either.

I'm cooking down some leftover BBQ ribs for tacos. Mmmm smoky tacos...

Those both sound like delicious meals Dan. I used to make spaghetti often, but my daughter isn't a huge fan. I think I might have worn her out on it when she was little. Being a single, working dad I made it a lot. Like you say, it's quick and easy.
Today I have decided I'm going to grill some shrimp and kielbasa ( I always throw a kielbasa or two on the grill anytime I fire it up). I'm also going to grill up various veggies. I have a couple sweet potatoes left from the holidays that I will likely par cook and then finish on the grill as well.
I'm glad you're finally getting your taco fix!

One of my favorite easy suppers:
Sauté shallots, lemon zest, brown rice, garlic and thyme with butter in a heat proof dish until the rice smells nutty. Add chicken thighs to the dish along with the juice of two lemons. Almost cover all with chicken stock and bake for about an hour. Sometimes I add prosciutto to the sauté. The rice cooks with the chicken and its all yummy.
