Tonight's dinner was Cioppino (Italian fish stew) with shrimp, bay scallops (just off the boat & shucked), clams and catfish served with cooked, buttered matchstick broccoli (packaged broccoli slaw) on the side.
p.s. I make the soup part the night before so the flavors can meld and then added the fresh seafood to the reheated broth and simmered until seafood was done.

No recipe...I winged it. I was in the fish market that day and inspired by all the fish that just came in. Bought a small amount of each of those items and as I remember, looked online for Cioppino recipes to come up with the broth. All I can remember about the broth is that I couldn't use wine in it at that time. Used a TBS of red wine vinegar instead.
Chicken breast cooked in olive oil and butter with some minced garlic, cayenne pepper and onion powder. Once the chicken was cooked I threw a handfull of mushrooms and some more garlic and butter and sautee'd that until the mushrooms were soft and spooned it over my chicken.
On the side I steamed some brussel sprouts in salted butter for 15 mins until they were soft and then I roasted a couple of spears of asparagus with olive oil and shallots.
Tonight I am making full out beef stew for the family since it is cold and snowy.
For me I took some of the stew meat and put in a pot with some homemade beef stock and spices and I am braising that until it is tender. I will throw a handfull of mushrooms in towards the end. With that I plan on roasting some green beans with olive oil and shallots and lots of black pepper and a dash of salt.

I am new here and trying really hard to do this right. Last night my family ate pretty much the samething except I made rice and baked beans for them as well.
Tonight I am making 2 dinners since I can not eat stew the way I cook it so I just readjusted a little bit and I am going to have what I think is actually a better dinner than stew. I love roasted veggies.
This morning I had a small mental battle. Since my family is home today because of the storm I made coffee and cinnamon rolls for them. I "thought" I wanted a roll but told myself my 2 weeks are almost up and I made it this far and I didn't have a roll didn't even sneak a bite. Instead I warmed up my chicken and a couple of brussel sprouts from last night and ate that mid morning.
