February's Dinners - Page 3

We've been eating less meat lately. Yesterday I made coconut curry rice and served it with boiled eggs and cucumber salad. Very nice!

Rice dish was simple if you're comfortable playing with amounts of rice/liquid:
Stir fry one chopped onion with 1-2 t each diced fresh garlic and ginger. I added a large diced carrot. Add 1 T curry powder and 1 t turmeric. Add 2 cups rice. with 1 c coconut milk plus enough water to cook rice (I measured the rice + liquid in my rice cookereven though I cooked this on the stove top). Add a 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes. Stir to mix, cover and cook until rice is done.

What is cream cheese mashed potatoes? Just as it sounds? Adding cream cheese in to the blending?

It is seriously not very healthy, but it is soooo good. I peel and cut Yukon gold potatoes (about 12 of them) and place them in the crockpot on high with 2 cups of chicken broth, a stick of butter (or almost), salt & pepper and cook for about 4 hours or until tender. Then I mash with cream cheese (about 4 oz) and sour cream (about 4 oz) or buttermilk (4 oz).

Thanks! Not unhealthy just definitely not low fat!

But it does sound like something my kids would LOVE! Plus I love how easy crock pot dishes are.

Cajun salmon, Basmati rice, asparagus, mixed green with balsamic vinaigrette

I think I'm starting to get really boring. I think I'm posting the same meals over and over again.

I think we all do that. I CONSTANTLY fall in to a rut and cook the same things over and over. Then I get inspired, try a few new dishes, and then fall back in to a new rut....

I need to get off the computer and throw together some pasta fagioli. Unfortunately I don't have any cooked ground beef in the freezer so I have to do EVERYTHING. But I'll double it and have soup to put in the freezer.

We are going to have a one pan dinner tonight with chipotle chicken sausage, sauerkraut, fingerling potatoes and beets.

I made beef stroganoff tonight...hadn't made it in literally YEARS but was just so hungry for it. It was good...not amazing. But the boys loved it. And a chopped salad kit that really hit the spot.

Last night I made chicken breast stuffed with pesto, asparagus and tomatoes. With roasted broccoli and onions on the side. Super delicious!
