What's for Dinner?

[LoveMyHats2]

One thing is for sure: all of you guys seem to COOK. Now, if that is not vintage...

It may be (at least for me) that when I am in the mood for a meal, it has to be made, and so to learn how to cook is a must!

Now that IS funny...lollol

I had grilled salmon. Grilling season is coming to an end time to get out the Wok full time.

Geez that sounds good! Been a while since I have had any Salmon.

I have made it steamed, placing it on top of a kettle in a heavy strainer, with boiling veggies on the water, then having the Salmon served with a butter/garlic sauce to dip it in.

Grilling it does sound good as well!

Sprinkle with almond slivers and fresh dill. A very delicate and delicious flavor.

Sounds good to me! We do have some nice Salmon here in Michigan from the local fisherman. I think I am going to see what the Market here has on ice!

Hey..thats how my wife makes it...only with thinly sliced sweet onion..olive oil and butter. Carefull not to over cook. She also added thin slices of pineapple atop the salmon on the grill which turned out quite good. Now I'm getting hungry again....

I moved away from my parents when I was 19 and didn't marry before I was 29. If I hadn’t learned to cook I would either have gone broke from eating out or starved to death

I do enjoy a good meal out but I think home cooked is my favorite hands down!

My wife and I make pizza at home each week.
We use turkey pepperoni and turkey sausage.
This one has mozarella, green peppers, and onions.
What we've found that works even better is mozarella with a hint of philly, I think it's a Kraft brand.
Of course I've also got a recipe of a southwestern chicken pizza, with cheddar (we use reduced fat), chicken, onions, peppers, and corn. We make at least 2 pizzas at a time so we get 2 meals out of them.

Greg that looks delish. Here's a photo of a pizza I made a while back.

Haloumi, mint, egg & prosciutto.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Oooo, yours has more color, I like that.
What we used one time was pepper jack, nice but hot. I mean I knew that going in. LOL
I use italian spices on the pizzas now, the one I have pictured is from a few months ago.
What crust did you use, or did you make your own?
Mine is Boboli, one regular and one thin.

Greg - The base is from scratch. Flour, water, oil & yeast. I have a bread maker so it's just a matter of throwing everything in the machine & pressing a button - easy. I made one once with smoked salmon, asparagus & philly cheese, that was really good....infact I have a photo of it somewhere......

 

[Tomasso]

You're making my mouth water, Lolly. Do you use a stone?

 

[lolly_loisides]

Thank you Mr Lyles
No I use a regular metal pizza tray. I just turn the oven up to as high as it can go & bake them for about 10 minutes.

I sort of depend on the frozen bread loaf dough when I make a pizza at home. I will allow it to rise and punch it down 2 times, but make everything else from total scratch. An older fellow that made pizza for many years in a country club gave me some formula for what his secrets were to making sauce and what to put on the dough before anything else. Pancake mix with some regular flour, and sprinkle a touch of garlic powder on it before adding the sauce. Then adding some of the same pancake mix and regular flour with the tomato sauce, with all the other spices mixed in. It helps keep a pizza from being greasy from toppings and of course the bread dough will raise as it cooks and be nice and chewy! At times, I just put cheese and a ton of black olives on a pizza for toppings.

You can make a wicked-good stromboli with that frozen dough too. Just put all the ingredients inside and roll it up, cut a few slits in the top, and bake until golden brown.

Tonight is Veal Scallopini, pasta and salad with a balsamic vinaigrette


Oh and pizza fixings have been added to the grocery list now..... great looking pizzas!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Burgers on hard rolls, with homemade Mac Sauce, and process slice cheese that I made at work
