June Main Meals - Page 3

2sunshines · 06-06-2015, 10:37 AM

Yesterday was the last day of school.

So we celebrated by inviting grandparents over for dinner and cake.

We had grilled chicken quarters, salad, carrots and green beans, corn on the cob, cut up fruit, and chips and guac.

For dessert I made a from scratch chocolate cake with whole wheat flour and topped it with fresh raspberry buttercream frosting. I found a recipe that uses fresh raspberries for the colour and flavoring and it was SO good!

When you make kabobs do you use the bamboo sticks or the steel ones?

I've only done kabobs once and had bamboo sticks so I used those. But then I see that you can buy stainless steel ones, which seem so much better, AND reusable. Is there a downside?

We bought the steel ones at Meijer and have used them a couple of times. I like them.

that cake, 2sunshines - LOVE! I adore chocolate + raspberry but have never had raspberry frosting or thought to put it on chocolate cake!

Today I'm cooking for the Bible study outreach again--vegetable beef stew, artisan bread, watermelon and chocolate chip cookies.

Yesterday was chicken with creamy, cheesy, roasted red bell pepper sauce with rice

This is the recipe I used for the frosting: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/rasp...cream-frosting The colour and flavoring were perfect.

crunchyusmcluv · 06-08-2015, 08:45 AM

I use the bamboo ones this time since I was at my moms and she doesn't grill often enough to buy the steel ones. Next time I am getting the metal ones for my house.

We had BBQ steak with naked parties - wait, no, auto correct, we did not have naked parties. Let's try that again. We had BBQ steak with baked potatoes (topped with cheese, broccoli, and plain yogurt) and a spinach salad.

I'm going to pull white chicken chili out for tonight. I found a bag in the bottom of the freezer that's pretty old and should just be used rather than waiting until the fall. I also have extra avocados leftover from that salad so I might throw together some guacamole.

Last night I made a boxed GF yellow cake, replacing the water with pineapple juice and added a dash of cinnamon. While it was cooking, I browned canned pineapple in my small cast iron skillet with half a stick of butter. Then when the cake was done, I sliced the pieces of cake horizontally and put the pineapple filling inside. It was the perfect sweetness, perfect proportion of ingredients, everything!
