What's for dinner? October 31

What's going on the dinner table tonight? I want to know! I'm trying a new recipe this evening: Pasta e Ceci (Pasta with Chick Peas). It is a Roman dish that is made mostly from pantry staples. The recipe is from my new Super Tuscan cookbook by Gabriele Corcos and Debi Mazar. I first saw mention of the dish on the Smitten Kitchen web site a few weeks ago, but when I came across it in the cookbook--that's when I finally decided to give it a go. It looks simple enough. It contains pancetta which is meat and should be enough to shut my husband ("where's the meat?") up but the chick peas will probably scare him away. Oh well. There's leftover chicken parm in the fridge if he gets hungry. That's what's happening here. What are YOU having? Do tell!

I've never had scrod before. I heard once that it is almost always full of worms so I've always avoided it.

I was about to write a post about my dinner tonight. It's new for me too, and just had to give it a try after my first try with spaghetti squash. Added meat sauce and it's delicious.

@NJChicaa That's the first way I had it, minus the butter and salt. It was good plain. I like the mild flavor.

@just4him I needed the butter and salt to give it *some* flavor. My trainer doesn't discourage butter but I know Whole30 does. I want to do the Detox Diet again (very similar to Whole30) to get me back on track.

I LOVE spaghetti squash! It really is great. Very mild flavor. I even do it just plain as a side with butter, salt and pepper on it and it is delish!

I get paid at midnight tonight, so I'm treating my best friend, her boyfriend, and myself to Mama's pizza. My best friend and her boyfriend claim that they're the most spectacular pizza/Hawaiian barbeque place in all of Tucson, Arizona. So, naturally being curious, I decided to try it for myself.

@NJChicaa Neither can I. Pineapple on pizza is an abomination. And apparently, I'd heard them wrong; it was only a Hawaiian barbeque place and it was a bit disappointing. Even they were disappointed by the food, so we won't be going back to the location we went to.

Dinner was grilled chicken with stir-fry veggies. Nothing fancy.
