Instant Pot Ribs

It's still Doug's birthday week, so I thought he should get some barbecue ribs. I came up with this thought kind of late in the day, so decided to try an Instant Pot recipe on some frozen ribs. This came together in about an hour.

Pot Roast

Doug asked for pot roast for dinner sometime, and even suggested a recent recipe from the Orlando Sentinel. So I made him pot roast and homemade bread.

Swedish-y Meatballs

We had no plans for dinner, so did some freezer diving. Found some old frozen meatballs, had some onions so decided to make Swedish-y Meatballs.

Thai-ish Shrimp and Pork Noodles

I've been reading several books by Ruth Reichl, so I decided to make one of her recipes.

Sous Vide Salmon with Lemon Caper Sauce

Mom wanted some fish for dinner, so we picked up some salmon from Costco. She normally pan sears it - but a couple of cookbooks and some Internet searching later, we decided to try it in the sous vide.

Oven Baked Ribs

I made slow cooked Oven Baked Ribs for Alex and mom. They were almost fall-off-the-bone ribs.

 

Pasta with Extra-Garlicky Shrimp Scampi

Ben and Brandi arrived this morning - so I decided to make them some sea food. Since I like pasta and Italian food, so mom and I decided to make Extra-Garlicky Shrimp Scampi from the Food Lab book.

Sweet Potato Curry

I baked up two extra sweet potatoes when prepping tomorrow's Crock Pot Sweet Potato Casserole, so I decided to make a Sweet Potato Curry for dinner.

Spinach Feta Crepes

I wanted something light for dinner, so I decided to make Spinach and Feta Crepes.

Mini Meatloaves

Because Doug likes meatloaf, we had Mini  Meatloaves for dinner tonight!

Smoked Paprika Chicken

I wanted a chicken dish to go with rye bread and sauerkraut.  My Internet search found Smoked Paprika Chicken.

Smoked Salmon Spinach Pasta

I was looking for a light dinner for one using smoked salmon. I also had spinach, feta, and fresh mozzarella in the refrigerator. I came up with this Smoked Salmon Spinach Pasta.

Bacon Spinach Quiche with a Triscuit Crust

I was wanting something lighter for dinner, AND I wanted to use a new-to-me pie pan. I came up with a tofu quiche with a Triscuit-based crust.

Chicken Shawarma with Tumeric Rice and Garlic Yogurt Sauce

I liked the look of the Lebanese pita bread I saw on King Arthur, so I started thinking about what to eat with it. I came up with Chicken Shawarma with Tumeirc Rice and Garlic Yogurt Sauce on a bed of fresh spinach.

Macaroni and Cheese Cake

It was Emily's birthday last week. I noticed that her dad hoped that she had a mac-n-cheese cake to celebrate. But I did not even know that there was such a thing as a mac-n-cheese cake.
I checked with her - she had not had one last week, and actually never had had one.
Obviously, I had to invite her over for one!

Feta Chicken Salad

I was thinking of feta, chicken, and salad for dinner. Here's the recipe I made up.

Spaghetti Lasagna

I was thinking lasagna thoughts for dinner,  but I did not have any lasagna noodles. I decided to make a smallish "Spaghetti Lasagna" instead.

Greek Sheet Pan Chicken

I wanted to try one of those sheet pan recipes I'd been seeing on the Internet. I had feta and green beans, so made Greek Sheet Pan Chicken.

Skillet Beans, Rice, and Kielbasa

I wanted something quick to make for dinner. I was thinking of using up some kielbasa and some beans, so I made Skillet Beans, Rice, and Kielbasa.

Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

Mom thought it was her night to cook dinner, so she made her Indonesian Satay sauce. This time she used steak, and we made salads with it.
