I had been looking forward to #58 for quite a while. It’s not every day you take on a recipe that includes canned fish balls as an ingredient, amiright? Plus, you can sing “fish balls” to this little ditty (starts at 2:10). Fish balls, fish balls, roly poly fish balls. Fish balls, fish balls, eatContinue reading 58. Scandinavian Fish Scallop

WIENER WEDNESDAY: Wiener Bean Pot
I want to institute “Wiener Wednesdays” here at Dinner is Served 1972. It’s just an idea, but I don’t think it’s an entirely horrible one. Those BH&G cookbook people really loved themselves some wieners and I know that there are some real hot dog doozies out there on the interwebz and in some of yourContinue reading WIENER WEDNESDAY: Wiener Bean Pot
65. Cassoulet
As I worked on #65 I kept writing this down as ‘cassolette’ instead of ‘cassoulet.’ One is #65, a traditional French bean and meat casserole. The other one has something to do with a lady’s nether regions. Yeah. You read that correctly. Now the only reason I’ve ever even heard the word cassolette is becauseContinue reading 65. Cassoulet
64. Ham and Cheese Fondue
When I returned to Baltimore from Christmas in Pittsburgh, I did so with a big ziploc bag full of Xmas Eve ham. One woman can eat only so many ham sandwiches so I cubed a large portion and put it in the freezer for later use. And I did find a use for it–in #64 HamContinue reading 64. Ham and Cheese Fondue
39. Bettan’s Chicken
I looked up ‘Bettan’s Chicken’ to see why it is named as such or what history there may be. But apparently there is none. I don’t know who the hell Bettan is or why this is his chicken. It sounds vaguely Middle Eastern to me so I imagine that it should be cooked in anContinue reading 39. Bettan’s Chicken
86. Albondigas con Salsa Fria (Meat Balls With Cold Sauce)
First off, I want to point out how international Dinner is Served! has been recently: lasagna, goulash, chow mein, sauerbraten, chili con carne–and now #86, Albondigas con Salsa Fria. I didn’t realize how frickin’ global and cultured this box was when I first opened it. After a quick flip through the remaining cards, it looksContinue reading 86. Albondigas con Salsa Fria (Meat Balls With Cold Sauce)
73. Lasagne
I do the majority of my cooking on Sundays, but since it is football season (the most wonderful time of the year!) Sundays can get a little busy because of game schedules. We live in Baltimore, but I love the Steelers (obviously) and Cleve is a Browns fan (duh). Last year we became members ofContinue reading 73. Lasagne
112. Souffles
I can count on one hand the number of times I have sampled souffle: Stouffer’s frozen Spinach Souffle, the Carrot Souffle from the prepared food section of Giant Eagle, and some sort of dessert-type souffle at Anthony’s Pier 4 , which is in Boston. I went to grad school in Boston and I believe I haveContinue reading 112. Souffles
23. Barbecued Chuck Roast, Frosty Melon, & the end of The X-Files
Are you here for Frosty Melon? You came to the right place! It’s just at the bottom of the post. Let’s go back to 2011…. I was hoping to do something X-Files themed for the final episode of the series, but it snuck up on us. I thought that season nine was a standard-length season,Continue reading 23. Barbecued Chuck Roast, Frosty Melon, & the end of The X-Files
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
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!!!
42. Stuffed Zucchini
Frugality was supposed to be an ongoing theme with my blog, but has recently gotten tossed by the wayside because of big ticket ingredients like the spareribs and leg of lamb. And wow, my monthly grocery budget has reflected that. So for this meal I wanted to get back to the cheap. Which I totallyContinue reading 42. Stuffed Zucchini
80. Tuna on Toasted English Muffins
Tuna on Toasted English Muffins *sigh.* Goddamned canned tuna. Pretty organic grapefruit! I have never liked canned tuna, even more so after Tuna Cheese Macaroni Loaf. But I chose #80 for my latest meal because I already had canned tuna in the house and a grapefruit was the last unused item from my Arganica Farm Club crateContinue reading 80. Tuna on Toasted English Muffins
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
67. Tamale Pie
I’ve been very dilligent on the cooking-end of Dinner is Served! but I must admit that I’ve gotten a little behind on the posting. So it’s not until now that I give you #67, Tamale Pie. Please keep in mind I don’t remember how long ago I made it and I apparently did not take anyContinue reading 67. Tamale Pie
