    Default What's for Dinner January '09

    Happy New Year!!
    Our holiday dinner will be something I call "Fruits of the Sea Primaravera". One of our stores seems to always have a seafood sale for New Years. This year I got a great price on some crab legs, sea scallops, and shrimp. We had the crab legs for New Years Eve and I saved the leftover crab meat to use in tonights dinner. I will poach the scallops in white wine and then use the poaching liquid to make a primavera cheese sauce with broccoli, onion, and mushrooms into which I will add the crab meat, cooked shrimp, and scallops and serve it on Dreamfield's penne pasta. We will start the meal with a sliced avacado and shrimp cocktail with my California style Chipotle seasoned cocktail sauce, followed by the primavera. As a holiday treat, I also decided to make my Decadent Pecan Praline Pie, which I haven't made for several years, and will have a piece of the pie for dessert.

    More seafood here, Henry, LOL!

    I served some cheeses with (broken in half) rye krisps for crackers, along side sections of raw fennel and an assortment of olives for an antipast'. Then, salmon (seasoned with onion and dill) sauteed & deglazed with white wine for a drizzle over each, along with asparagus and a hearty salad.

    Dessert was some left-over Rum balls, with coffee and cognac.

    Rob, your pork chops sound great. Cabbage noodles are something I have read about but never tried. They are on my list of dishes that I will try someday.
    Tonight's dinner will be a lettuce salad, Dreamfield's spaghetti pie, and a piece of Decadent Pecan Praline Pie for dessert.

    Yes, Henry, try cabbage noodles. With your cooking skills and imagination you'll really enjoy them.

    I'm making a 1/2 pound hamburger seasoned with chipotle chili powder and topped with chipotle salsa and melted cheddar on low carb bread.

    Dinner tonight will be rather ecclectic as we enter the final days of the current "clean-out the refrigerator" effort. Dinner will be a lettuce salad, a piece of Deep Dish Pizza Supreme (pepperoni, ground beef, onion, green pepper, roasted red pepper, mushrooms, and ripe olives), and a piece of Decadent Pecan Praline Pie for dessert.

    Thanks for sharing the recipes Henry. When I'm a little closer to goal and feeling ambitious, the Pecan Pie will have to be attempted. I'm somewhat challenged in the kitchen, but willing to learn.
