It’s Friday What’s For Dinner 12-15-23

Anyone that makes a homemade dinner is welcome to type the name of one recipe that you prepared, in the comments, then we can all scroll through the comments for recipe ideas. This will be a weekly Friday post and only recipes on the Friday posts will be allowed.
If someone wants your recipe and asks, there will be no pressure to share it, it’s up to you. I will accept links, but only to the recipe and NO VIDEO. It may take me a day to approve it so I can make sure the link is legitimate and not spam.
NO SPAM OR VIDEOS WILL BE ALLOWED, ONLY RECIPES OR YOU WILL BE BLOCKED.
I find the hardest part of making dinner isn’t the process, but figuring out what to make. So go ahead and post ONE RECIPE ONLY EACH FRIDAY in the comments or feel free to just read what others have made. Either way, I hope we all get some great ideas to make our meal planning easier.

We had some left over brown rice with apricots, almonds and olives from a chicken dinner. I used the rice to make a fried rice with fresh cooked smoked bacon and thigh meat. I add two eggs to make a Korean style fried rice.
Great dinner, I’ve been hungry for fried rice! Thank you for sharing.
Nice post ✉️
Thank you so much
Welcome 🙏 freinds
Now that is a proper soup
Thank you Derrick, it is so good.
Golumpki Soup??? Tonight my granddaughter has one of her recitals, so we will probably get something early and fast. I could go for some broiled flounder though. I’ll update you on this.
Awe don’t you just love recitals? My mom was a piano teacher since I was little. My daughter took lessons from her and there were many piano recitals. I hope you had a good time and I know she was happy you were there.
I love your golumpki soup, Diane. I make it all the time and have given the link to so many people. I have Covid, so my throat feels like it is full of razor blade. I am having soup for dinner and it is coming out of a can. 😬
Oh NO Carla, it seems like Covid is making a comeback and it sounds like you need ice cream. Lol Thank you and for sharing the link. It’s funny because I don’t care for cabbage rolls but love the soup. Get better in a hurry my friend. 😉😡😇
Thanks, Diane. I am on the mend and have had a couple of bowls of ice cream over the last couple of days. ☺️
Happy to hear you’re on the mend Carla!
I cook up a spaghetti sauce made from my fresh tomatoes, that I froze, and as it simmers I add cooked ground chuck to it then place a ladle full over 4 oz of spaghetti squash. A lower carb version of pasta and sauce has no sugar either.
Awesome Eunice! How do you freeze your tomatoes. I used to can them when the kids were home but I didn’t know you can freeze them too.
You can wash and freeze whole in bags I did this as well as placed a bunch of different varieties in a pot with garlic and herbs and simmered until it all broke down then added it all to a blender and once cooled, I added to a quart sixed Ziploc and froze it lying flat. Then just thaw and use.
Thank you Eunice! I freeze bone broth in the Ziploc bags too. My husband eats so many tomatoes every week, even the hot house tomatoes in off season which have no taste. Your method sounds easy!
It worked when I was so stressed and always at the hospital of course I ate many of them 🙂
Happy Holidays!
Thank you, Happy Holidays!
Spicy and nice for a Winter’s day (once Winter arrives – we had 57 degrees today!)
It was beautiful here too Linda. All I want to do is go outside and clear out my flower beds. ☹️
Today was nice too Diane. It would have been great to work in the yard, but our yard waste ended Thanksgiving week.
Perks of living in the country is the wooded section behind our property and it decomposes over winter. It was amazing outside for December.
Yes, it was – I couldn’t get enough of being outside. That would be nice living on the edge of a woods. My friend Carol lives in New York, on the edge of a woods. She has deer coming through her backyard and even coming up to the deck to eat catfood she puts out for the feral cats she takes care of. But she gets groundhogs, possums and raccoons too – she was surprised I was so bound and determined to get rid of the groundhog and possum in the backyard. We have a snow/wintry precip mix tonight and a huge pile-up on the expressway from a sudden snow squall this afternoon.
And it begins, get out your cleats!
Unfortunately – the weatherman said “well it IS December folks!”
Your dish sounds perfect for the winter days ahead.
Thank you Linda.
Comfort food at its best!
Thank you Mary!
