What's for dinner?

[Principessa]

Yours sounds great too Nudeyorker. :smile:

I found the dip recipe in a Paula Deen cooking magazine.
It's so easy and delicious. It's meant for french fries, but
I knew it would be good with the fried green tomatoes.

Thoroughly mix equal parts mayonnaise, ketchup, and ranch dressing. Add a pinch of sugar.

Large cheese steak and onion and a greek salad.

I had a chocolate tart. (To the Brits, no I din't sleep with a black loose woman.) I didn't get to take a pic of it. It was good though.

Believe me I don't take a picture of everything I cook, but I'm working on a cookbook, so I'm taking pictures of everything I bake these days!

Well, in a couple of days, I am going to bake two (Paula Deen recipe) Hummingbird cakes. One is for me and the other is for my niece.

I am waiting for the bananas to overripen at the moment. Once those get ripened to that point of having a total brown skin on the bananas, I will start making the cake. I will take a picture of the cake when it gets done.

Well it sounds fabulous. Can I have the recipe? I won't take a picture of it or include it in my book since it's her recipe. I'm making all of my favorite desserts that I have had from around the world. How is this for a title? *Just Desserts*

Actually, I had to have dark chocolate so I can get my antioxidants in.

Rice, a potato, and a pita?! Yikes that is a lot of starch for one meal.

I know, but it was a Greek festival and I wanted the full experience!

Ahh, well then that's okay. :biggrin1: But now I don't think you had enough to eat. :tongue: Next time get some moussaka with eggplant, spanakopita, and some baklava for dessert. I think it's a sin to go to any ethnic food festival and leave hungry. :smile:

The bananas overripened this evening. And I baked the Hummingbird Cake.
It tasted amazing!!! My mom baked a Hummingbird Cake once when I was a teen. This recipe will make a rich cake and frosting.

Sorry it's all gone, I just finished the last of the ice cream a minute ago.
But tonight we are having brisket, au gratin potatoes, glazed carrots and a spinach salad. I have fresh blueberries so maybe blueberry ice cream or a pie, I have not decided.
