What's going on the dinner table tonight? I want to know! I'm trying a new recipe from the Comfort In An Instant cookbook--Chicken Cacciatore. I have a good recipe for it already but this is one for the Instant Pot. Tonight is a good night for it because I didn't get home from the gym until 6:30 pm and didn't start cooking until a bit after 7. Dinner should be ready a little after 8. I am going to serve it over egg noodles as suggested by the author. That's what is happening here. What are YOU having? Do tell!

My mom made us borscht (beet soup) so that's what we are having for dinner.

@lovebuglena I don't know. I've never had them. They are purple and look like they will stain everything.

I have never had that before. I've never had beets at all. They kind of scare me.

I didn't bring any home from my sister's and I didn't cook the few nights before so I definitely needed to cook tonight.

@thislittlepennyearns Yeah with 2 little kids it just makes sense to do it there.

I have made this many times, but I have my own specific recipe for it. Tonight is baked seasoned pork steaks with a side of buttered corn (unsalted of course), and I took out a chili I had froze a while back which we will maybe pour on top of the steaks.

I don't make it often because my husband doesn't like it. He is out tonight with his friend so I am free to make what I want. I like the recipe in Bobby Flay's Throwdown cookbook. That's the one I usually use. I'm trying this one, though, because it is in my new cookbook for my Instant Pot. You love your pork steaks. I've never seen them in the store here. There are pork shoulders, pork loins, pork tenderloins, and pork chops but I've never seen pork steaks. I've only ever seen them mentioned in The New Midwestern Cookbook.

@NJChicaa Yeah, I definitely think it is a Midwestern thing for sure. I'd go nuts if I could not get them...or just see if my butcher could make the cuts for me in the store. They are DELICIOUS!

That's one of my favorite chicken recipes. Sounds good. I had leftover penne with broccoli and water tonight. I'll do some leftover jello tonight for dessert.

I really like it too. My husband isn't a big fan of it though.
