Sunday Dinner

[ocnblu]

I was hungry so I cooked myself a decent Sunday Dinner:

Glazed ham slice

Leftover ham from Easter. I put a slice of it in a pan with a little water, honey, ground ginger and a dash of ground cloves. Cooked it down on medium high heat until the liquid was syrupy. Stuck it on a plate and poured the glaze over top.

Baked Mac-N-Cheese

Cooked some macaroni and set it aside. Mixed Velveeta, cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar and milk with pimentos, paprika, cayenne pepper, a dash of garlic powder and a little flour to bind it together. Heated it until melted, poured it over the mac, topped it with bread crumbs mixed with melted butter and baked it.

Steamed Asparagus Tips

Grocery store had fresh tips on sale, so I steamed them, then tossed them with a bit of olive earl and garlic salt.

Turned out really tasty-like. Is anyone else having Sunday Dinner?

Wow.

I've been lacking on the cooking aspect for a long time. Thought I was being creative tonight stuffing my turkey burgers with peppers. Ha.

Not a fan of ham, but Top Chef is calling you, ocn.

I need a new live in girlfriend who can cook. I work too many hours and days to figure out how to effectively do so, or creatively.

Turkey burgers stuffed with peppers? That sounds good too.

There has to be at least one girl in Philadelphia! ;-)

They weren't bad. A nice change of flavor.

Given that I am rarely ever home before 9:30 daily, my cooking dinner choices are kept to a few items. Most include chicken, salad, or burger in some form.

Did you make dessert?

Yikes, that sounds like a grueling schedule. No dessert yesterday, just a cup of Activia yogurt.

Sunday Dinner is a requirement in my house hold. This is the one day my daughter an son have to be home. If not the wife wll kick their butts. Sunday is also the day for cooking and prepping enough healthy food for reheating during the busy work week for lunch and quick dinners.

Ocn, love the dinner. Love Ham and Mac-n-Cheese.

My take on that same dinner is as follows:

Grilled Ham steak coated with home made Spicey Bar-B-Que sauce.

Mac and Cheese, Noodles cooked and set aside, Cheese sauce is a mix of Chedder and Gouda with Diced Jalopeno and cayenne pepper. Melted down and then mixed into noodles, Back for about 30 min, then top with Panko Bread crubs for another 15 min to build a crust. Souply center, crunch topping, Spicy Yummyness

Truffles and Red wine for Dessert.

Yes, Sunday dinner is a must. Course if your work schedule makes it for a monday/tuesday weekend or what ever days end up being your weekend. Then you Must always take one day out to make it the sit down and enjoy a good meal.

Kudo's to Sunday Dinners.
