Hey, Y'all!

My cooking days fast approach, and I'm completely out of ideas. What the heck should I make for dinner tomorrow?

Make gnocchi. Basically all you need is flour, potatoes and eggs, and they're extremely tasty and filling. Great for this time of year, particularly with that lovely spaghetti sauce of yours.

Oh, how I hate that question. I literally have every low cholesterol cookbook my public library has out right now, to look for new ideas.

Tonight is old standby oven fried catfish: 4 catfish fillets soaked in buttermilk with a quarter of a teaspoon of hot paprika for a half hour, then breaded with cornflake crumbs and cornmeal, and baked on parchment paper at 425F for around 20 minutes.

Meat and veggie pie. Very simple, very tasty. Brown a ground meat of your choice; mix with a can of veggies and a can of cream-of-something soup; add pepper blend to taste; put in a dish with pie dough beneath and pie dough on top (the boxes of pie dough come in twos!); cook at 400 until crust browns. Delicious.

I did that one tonight! Thanks for the suggestion. I've been enjoying Deeper'n'Ever pies recently (and yeah, hooray for pie crusts coming in twos!), and this was a nice variation!

Oo, what meat/veggies did you choose? (And you can do it with Cream Of Anything, even.) I usually go with ground beef and some very nice young peas, but sometimes I use ground lamb or turkey.

I also tend to run a layer of cheese crumbles at the bottom, but that's a bit extra-cheesey for those of us who love cheese. Like me.

Ground turkey and mixed frozen peas, carrots, corn, and green beans, along with some sauteed mushrooms and onions. I considered adding cheese, but the cheese we have right now is all WEIRD cheese. (I always cheese up the Deeper'n'Evers, though.) And I went with Cream of Celery. It was quite good with a bit of Mrs. Dash tossed in!

Excellent! I really like using the Penzey's stuff with my mixes; California Pepper blend with the beef, Italian Herb with the lamb or turkey.

Chilli. Chorizo chilli for bonus points. It tastes better if you misspell it.

I had some really delicious risotto with chicken and peas today; how about that?

Seconding the suggestion for risotto. We like ours with ground up spicy sausage, diced green pepper, corn, and parmesan cheese.

Huh, we always do something-stirfry (tofu, chicken, yakiniku meat, whatever is on hand) and rice. A little ginger, garlic, and onions in the beginning, stirfry stuffs, then finish with soy sauce and sugar or teriyaki. Quick and tasty.
But, recently I've been making galettes. Also good. :)

Do you have a crockpot? If so, check out crockpot365.com. All SORTS of c

Errrgh. Tried to log in and it died on me. As I was saying, all sorts of crockpot recipies for all sorts of food, and all of them gluten-free, if that matters to you. If not, the food's still pretty good, and crockpot cooking is SO EASY.
