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!

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.

Ha. Pork loin and kraut in the crock pot for dinner. Gonna smoke some wings here in a minute for the Rose Bowl.
 
Leftover focaccia , garlic and mozzarella cheese grilled. Haven't made the Mew Years dinner yet. Still up in the air.
 
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!
 
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.
 
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:

Oh wow. Let me know if your wife ever leaves you!
 
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.
