ten dinners skip to main skip to sidebar ten dinners it s been said that the average american family is stuck in a ten dinner rut meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over week after week i can t believe that s true so here s a forum to write about what s for dinner i want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty easy to prepare inexpensive healthy and sustainable is that too much to ask i don t think so friday october 23 2009 thursday out to dinner at verbena can you tell we like this place given mom s visit we knew we wanted to go back and experience the new fall menu as usual we had an excellent experience the food was fantastic the environment lovely and fun was had by all they seemed short staffed though so things were a bit oddly paced and there were several things the kitchen or wine cellar were out of even still we had a lovely dinner and i m sure we ll be back soon appetizers cobb salad mom pan roasted stuffed quail m grilled pear salad with blue cheese j entrees slow braised beef short rib mom crisp seared duck breast m pasta with fresh tomato sauce clams and mussels j posted by j at 9 48 am no comments labels a local favorite back to verbena thursday october 22 2009 wednesday mom cooks again mom took another cooking shift today while m did lecture preparation isn t she a saint this was an amazing dinner too and an especially beloved dinner for mr t scallops in lemon garlic sauce saffron rice grilled red peppers mmmmmm posted by j at 2 52 pm no comments labels thanks mom you re the best tuesday tuscan chickpea soup recipe in the comments from may 22 2008 garlic infused italian bread salad hot tea ______________________________________________________________ my mom loves a good soup and this is quite the unusual bean soup first off it s pureed and had very few other vegetables in it that said it manages to be incredibly flavorful it s easy to make and the result is quite impressive this is another recipe that depends on an immersion blender unless you want to do the multiple batches of pureeing in a blender yuck at any rate with an immersion blender it s a breeze this was enjoyed by all prep notes difficulty easy chopping onion garlic parmesan time 30 minutes make ahead this saves really well reaction this is much better than the individual ingredients suggest an amazing soup the kid report definitely a hit two bowls three pieces of bread and even a bit of salad notoriously not a t favorite posted by j at 2 47 pm no comments labels i love my immersion blender soup is the perfect fall food very good with the wine we bought today monday october 19 2009 monday mom cooks my mom knows that m has to work a lot on mon and wed to prepare for his lectures the following days so she is taking on cooking mon and wed this week to save him the time of extra cooking it s great this is the first monday m has finished his lecture text before dinner probably all due to mom doing the cooking also dinner was lovely pork chops with savory cornbread stuffing gravy and cranberry sauce steamed broccoli pumpkin ice cream it s a fall festival posted by j at 8 15 pm no comments labels thanks mom you re the best sunday october 18 2009 sunday grandma s savory tofu casserole recipe in the comments from december 7th 2007 baked potatoes salad with garlic vinaigrette hot tea oreos ______________________________________________________________ so as m and i made this casserole tonight i was thinking how this is my version of the quintessential sunday dinner homey filling savory and served with potatoes we don t eat a ton of potatoes because we have so many meals with the starch built in stir fries over rice or pasta dishes but i love them anyway this is also one of my mom s favorite recipes so we had to have it this trip we all went on a gorgeous hike this morning fall in full fury full sun and temps in the mid 40s it was glorious and this was the dinner to follow it perfect prep notes difficulty easy to prepare and long to cook but totally worth it chopping onion carrot pepper garlic time 25 minutes to prep 1 hour to bake make ahead this stores very well reaction still one of our best tofu dishes the kid report following a recent sunday tradition theo ate practically nothing at dinner he said he liked the tofu and didn t like the potato yeah right i think he just wasn t hungry posted by j at 7 37 pm no comments labels comfort ala tofu our kind of sunday dinner still better than i remember saturday october 17 2009 saturday m j s famous purple pasta recipe in the comments from march 21 2009 french green beans with bacon and red onion hot tea cake ______________________________________________________________ my mom a fellow beet lover arrived today and i have been dying to share this recipe with her as an invention of m s and mine i am proud of this one and very sure that she would love it as much as we do anyway the meal was a huge hit my mom loved it i still can t believe how well it turns out and how easy it is prep notes difficulty super easy chopping nothing but you do need a cuisinart or blender time 25 minutes make ahead make the sauce whenever and toss with hot pasta and cheese just before serving reaction we re purple pasta eaters the kid report two bowls very happy boy posted by j at 9 01 pm no comments labels basil brings out the best in vegetables i love beets purple food is very good friday rotisserie chicken thanks wegmans farfalle with butter and parmesan butternut squash carrots and green beans thanks wegmans hot tea halloween oreos thanks grammie ______________________________________________________________ m and t went on a field trip together today and i was at work all day so we needed a speedy meal chicken is always so easy whenever we have a meal of a meat starch and vegetable it looks so traditional this one was enjoyed by all prep notes difficulty super easy chopping none time 15 minutes make ahead
