Thread: What Are Your Weekend Cooking Plans?

Yay, the weekend is (almost) upon us!
Hopefully that means planning some good eats around your house. So, what's the plan for this weekend?

I'm thinking seafood...I do hope to try that Fish Stick recipe with the frozen cod I purchased last weekend but didn't get around to making. AND, I really want to try the Shrimp Ceviche that @cali~jenn recently posted. That one looks so summery and delicioso.

What about you guys??!

Hope you like it as much as we did. I haven't figured out my weekend meals yet.have to go the store today so time to get searching for ideas!

Don had used his new (Fathers' Day) smoker Thursday evening, so Friday dinner was smoked fish & shrimp with butter & onions! Mmmmmm!

Ooh what kind of smoker? Hubby got me one a few years ago but it intimidates me so I hardly have used it. It is one of those rectangle stand up propane ones and if I had someone tell me exactly how long, temp, etc i would be more apt to use it. Think I over smoked something once and that was the last I tried it.

I made the fish sticks and cauliflower casserole recipe last night. Mmmmm.... Am eating leftovers now for breakfast. Think for tonight I will make that Japanese chicken again since I had forgotten about it until Henny posted she made it.

Uh. I dunno. It has a thermometer in the lid. (Blink, blink)


I will get some smoker info for you... Texas is home to MANY Competitions and backyard smokers!

You guys are making me very, very hungry right now! I'm not going to get to make the shrimp ceviche yet 'cuz i think i better eat my leftover chicken from last week before I tackle the ceviche. Right now i'm roasting beets, leeks, spring garlic, and chili peppers in the oven and going to eat that in some low carb tortillas for my lunch I'm really hungry right now...oops, said that already!

I planted some horseradish and heirloom shallots...plus hung a shelf, and a clothes line.

Barbecue turkey wings and some type of vegetable for us tomorrow

I am bit late for last weekend but my plans for this weekend is eating out as My daughter Melanie and I are flying to Brisbane for the weekend to go shopping for the end of financial year sales, we do this every year on the last weekend of June and we dine out for Breakfast, lunch and dinner and thoroughly enjoy it.

Especially no men or kids, well I should say Melanie's husband he is a real pain to take shopping Richard well he likes to spend so he is fine to take

Ok, weekend cooking plans for this weekend are.... That Peruvian steak http://tastetestedrecipes.com/showth...h-Fry-Stir-Fry
made up and tossed in a yummy roll of some sort with cheese for a sandwich. Have been eyeing that recipe since it was posted! Then going to smoke some ribs one night and if we have a 3rd night with not enough leftovers I think I will make the fish sticks we made last week and try upping the spices some.

@cali~jenn , those r some tasty plans!

I bought Roma tomatoes and limes so will make your shrimp ceviche dish. Hopefully start that today since I have to marinate overnight, I believe. I also randomly bought taco and fajita seasoning so maybe I'll experiment with those in ground beef or chicken . I want to make that jello/yogurt dessert thst i posted too.

Mmmmmmm sounds good! I also bought stuff to make a batch of terriyaki jerky for camping. I made a batch of regular spicy jerky but thought I might try a terriyaki as well. Will post both recipes soon.

Ever try Golden Eagle jerky seasonings? Well worth it & comes in a variety of flavors... Lower salt and no MSG!
Tell him Traci sent you!
