Yup.  I put pecans in mine too.

Pure winter comfort food tonight.  I got chicken for 99 cents a pound yesterday, so I cooked it all up today, made some chicken salad for sandwiches, made chicken supreme for tomorrow tonight, and I have chicken and dumplings planned for tomorrow, made with homemade chicken stock.   :-)

Chicken Supreme

Ingredients:

4 full chicken breasts
4 or 5 heads of broccoli
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp curry powder (or more to taste.  I usually add more)
2 tbsp butter.

Directions:

1.  Boil chicken until done and let cool
2. Steam broccoli until done and let cool
3.  Mix cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry power, and half of the cheese to make sauce.
4.  Pour a little sauce on the bottom of the pan and add broccoli
5. Add a thin layer of sauce, then layer the chicken,
6. Pour remainder of sauce on top, then sprinkle the remainder of the cheese
7, Melt butter, mix with bread crumbs, and sprinkle over the dish.
8. Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes. 

That looks really good.  I think I am going to have to make that soon!

Yes I know...but I didn't make the connection.  :thatsright:  I don't think red meat = heart attack.

My birthday today, so I don't need to worry about supper tonight. My better 2/3 is taking me out to one of our favorite restaurants, at which I also have a complimentary meal for my birthday.

Yeah! We really like the place! And it's only about 2 miles from home!

Their lasagna is to die for, and the fettuccine alfredo is fantastic!

I liked it better before I couldn't have any alcohol (they have some excellent wine), but in time this too may change!  :cheersmate:

We stopped at the local watering hole and got fish and chips. (It's Friday in Lent).

Food was good, but the alcohol tonight was better.

One of those kind of nights.  :(

Mrs. E came home from work, spotted the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the fridge ( :yawn: ) and promptly announced it was time for chicken and vegetable soup.

No complaints outta me. Though I wound up cooking the stuff.  :whatever:

Weather is nasty -- cold, snow on the ground, windy, typical March-type shitty weather.

The soup went down pretty well. I'm hungry as hell, but I ate.

I made tomato basil soup about a month or so ago, and froze a container of it. We had it for lunch. It was even better than when I made it. The guys had grilled cheese to go with it.

It was cooler here today too...just a soup kind of day.

Rainy again tonight.  :(

Damn, you ain't that far away and it was 80+° here today. Would have been nice to have the a/c in all of the windows, but Sunday and next week it's only supposed to be in the mid 60s. One more day of some 80+° weather and then a return of the milder stuff. Shit, one day we need the a/c and a couple of days later, we'll need  the heaters....... :mental:

I made a turkey, carrot and mushroom meatloaf.  I got the recipe from a recent issue of Woman's Day, and I knew I had to try it.  (Collecting and trying new meatloaf recipes is sort of a hobby for me.) The ground turkey is mixed with grated carrot, thinly sliced mushrooms, sliced scallions, eggs and cubes of whole wheat bread.  It came out super-moist and delicious.  A nice change from the same old meatloaf.  This one is a keeper!

Mrs. E made some kind of spaghetti squash thing. She cut it in half, scraped out the seeds, roasted the damned thing and scraped out the insides like you would freakin' barnacles off the underside of a ship, then mixed that with some sauteed onions and peppers, then pan-fried that in a little oil.

She said she wanted a little "crunch".  :clueless:

I wanted nothing to do with that mess, so I can't report further on this experiment.

I have tried to like spaghetti squash.  I don't. 

Surprisingly enough, I DO like that stuff when it is used as noodles under a decent marinara sauce. It sure saves on the carbs!! I haven't tried it with anything else, like alfredo sauce or whatever. I don't think I could eat that like Mrs. E. prepared it.
