I filed this meal under ground beef (I have separated all of the Dinner is Served! cards by main protein), but the day I made #22 I didn’t want to have meat. I was sick of it. It might have been the 24 oz. prime rib that I watched Cleve take down at the GoldenContinue reading 22. Manicotti

57. Chicken Pot Pie
Greetings and Salutations! I haven’t served dinner recently because I was in Las Vegas last week. I will expound on the Vegas trip in my next post, but I will tell you this: it is a good thing that I made #57 and used my last whole chicken before I left for Sin City. Why?Continue reading 57. Chicken Pot Pie
88. Beef Enchiladas
Hola, amigos! It’s summer and it’s time for something a little spicy, and a little saucy. Enter #88 Beef Enchiladas. I kicked-off the fiesta with some Margaritas which I made as part of a guest post I did for 1972 The Retro WW Experiment. If you want to read the recipe, hop on over to my girl Mimi’s blog.Continue reading 88. Beef Enchiladas
3. Chicken With Pineapple
Weeknight dinner! And one that nearly killed me (figuratively! Don’t worry–I didn’t set myself on fire). The preparation of this meal wiped me out. While I was making #3 I washed 2 loads of laundry, baked a cake, and wrote the previous post for #36 Baked Swiss Steak. Oh, and somewhere in there I managedContinue reading 3. Chicken With Pineapple
77. Braised Short Ribs
This is a sad post, for many reasons. First off, this happened: Tea Leoni, David Duchovny split again June 29, 2011 Actors Tea Leoni and David Duchovny have split up — again — according to Entertainment Tonight.They were married in 1997 and had two kids, but separated in 2008. Duchovny voluntarily checked himself into rehab for sexContinue reading 77. Braised Short Ribs
Dinner is Served for the 30th time!!!
I know why you, dear readers, voted this dinner to be my 30th meal. Not because it was the fanciest meal or the most involved. It was all because of 2 words. I feel like I must apologize because in my first milestone meal, after the audience-participation and the voting, I ended up with whatContinue reading Dinner is Served for the 30th time!!!
11. Baked Stuffed Bass
I’m not a fan of seafood that is not of the crustacean variety. I’ve mentioned that fact every time a fish card is drawn. In some cases I have been pleasantly surprised, and in others I’m all “I still don’t like fish” and in the case of #28 Tuna-Cheese-Macaroni-Loaf I was all “screw you, fish!”Continue reading 11. Baked Stuffed Bass
101. Potato Salad
I haven’t posted in a while because I have been out of commission for a bit. Last weekend I was back in the Burgh for the holiday weekend and then as soon as I got home I came down with a bit of a cold. In turn, Cleve has come down with the same thing.Continue reading 101. Potato Salad
8. Quiche Lorraine (Swiss Cheese Pie)
First, I propose a toast. To me. This was my 25th meal. I have officially served dinner 25 times. I am about 20% towards my goal. So I raise my scotch and soda to myself. Em (Miz Yinzerella if you’re nasty), you are totally awesome and this blog is awesome and it’s fantastically awesome thatContinue reading 8. Quiche Lorraine (Swiss Cheese Pie)
2. Veal Chops With Mushroom Sauce
Do you see how short this recipe card is? Do you know how awesome that is? Let me tell you–it is super-awesome. So super-awesome that I made this a weeknight meal. Now, to do it to Dinner is Served! specifications, I did make the ‘Jellied Fruit Salad’ the day before. Yeah, you know what thatContinue reading 2. Veal Chops With Mushroom Sauce
55. Hamburger Pie
First things first. And I don’t want everyone to get too excited…but #55 has a JELL-O MOLD!!! I know that I shouldn’t be put-off by the phrase “Hamburger Pie,” because there are many perfectly good pies that involve meat. Chicken Pot Pie and Shepherd’s Pie, for instance. But seriously, doesn’t Hamburger Pie sound a littleContinue reading 55. Hamburger Pie
103. Mandarin Chicken Salad
This is a very special meal. No, not because it was fancy, involved weird ingredients or included a Jell-O mold. This is special because it is my 10th completed Dinner is Served! Which means that I only have 108 cards left. Sweet Christ on a cracker. What the hell have I gotten myself into? ThisContinue reading 103. Mandarin Chicken Salad
17. Beef Lindstrom (Swedish Beef Patties)
Second meal. This is the dish where I pre-made the beef patties while chilling the dough for the Medaillons. Non sequitur: I lost the Oscar ™ bet. We were tied but I picked Annette Bening over Natalie Portman. Will someone just give Mrs. Warren Beatty her goddamn Oscar ™ already? Annette was really good inContinue reading 17.
