What's For DINNER Tonight?

[Jill]

I made crock pot chilli yesterday, and will be having that with salads and bread or rolls the next few nights. This time I used lean ground beef. I usually make it with ground turkey. It tastes good

We had fish last evening, along with green beans I picked from my garden and new potatoes I dug up from the garden. Hubby had some rice pilaf under his fish.

Saturday night we had steak and fully loaded twice baked potatoes (yumm-o!). Last night was spaghetti. H was asking about Oatmeal cookies. I might make Nestles Oatmeal Scotchies sometime today.

 

[Jill]

Well shoot, my mom surprised us today with a tuna noodle casserole, so I guess I'll freeze some chili, make some peas, and a salad. YUM!!!!

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I never knock back one of "mums" tuna Casseroles,

Made chicken curry last night so will be having that again tonight

 

[Riverrose28]

Been as busy as a bee picking shelling and canning spring peas. making zuccinni bread and still doing horse chores. Tonight we are having slow cooker pulled pork sandwiches with homemade slaw mad with zuccinni and carrots. I can hardly wait till after we feed horses but they come first. Hubby is not home from work yet, should be any minute they are calling for storms so I hope they hold off.

Jill how is your hubby?

 

[dixie_belle]

It's so hot, who wants to cook? But if'n we are going to eat, one of us has got to cook it. So tonight, in an effort to not heat up the kitchen, I made turkey patties with mashed potatoes and brown gravy, and peas. Of course, I boiled over the pot with water and milk in it (of course) and then I had to scrub and scrub and scrub. But all is well that clean up well, I always say. LOL

 

[Riverrose28]

Tonight its meatloaf with carrots and potatoes and fried zuccinni with ranch dressing.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Well, I've been feeling under the weather, nasty head cold that leaves me feeling really achy and tired so I've been pretty lax on meals of late. On Friday my husband came home from work and made me some soup, Saturday I made baked chicken legs (fried chicken style) and garlic toast and salad with barbeque ranch dressing. Sunday we ate out and Monday I made a quiche, cheese, green onion and shrimp. Tuesday night was ground beef in mushroom gravy with noodles and an apple for desert (had to fit a fruit/veg in there somehow

) last night left overs and probably the same tonight. I am feeling pouty about being sick while the sun shines. I don't see why I should have to do any chores when I can't find the energy to do any fun stuff

lol.

 

[Riverrose28]

Oh I feel bad for you, I hate it when I feel really bad but have to force myself to do chores. The animals don't care if you feel like staying in bed. In fact if I'm not out of bed by a certain time in the morning the dogs whine like little kids, 7 days a week can't even sleep in on Sunday. Problem is I would be even more miserable if I didn't have my fur babies even though I complain about them all the time. Fun stuff, what is that?

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

LOL, I normally truly enjoy anytime I spend with my animals even cleaning and feeding but you are right, sometimes when you are sick or just tired or in a funk it would be good to have a day or two without the routine. I'm a pretty early riser as a rule, my big dog actually thinks I get up too early and just lays on her bed and looks at me with that "what! don't look at me, I'm still sleeping...really, see my head is on my bed", look, when I first get up. The little one wants breakfast and if I laze in bed for more than an hour beyond my normal time she will bark. Especially if she hears our voices (some weekends its nice now that the kids are grown to lay in bed and talk before we start our day) then she will get quite demanding. But without our animals I don't know what there would be to get out of bed for in the morning. I'm still feeling rough so I'm planning a nap today (a very rare thing for me, I have trouble letting myself sleep during the day) - first day in ages that I haven't had things scheduled.

Tonight I think I will make open faced salmon sandwiches, toasted with a grated cheese topping and probably tomato soup for my husband since he will probably think it is called for

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Last night we had Lamb Sausages and steamed vegies. Have no Idea what will be on the menu for tonight.

The weekend will have some cooking of some description as the weathers going to be Raining, Hailing and Storms.

The Fire will be lit and there may even be a glass or two of red wine involved

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Ok, wine and a fire... mind if we all pop in? Now I want to get a fire going in the back yard this weekend, enjoy a glass of refreshment and listen to the sounds of the evening.

 

[Riverrose28]

Well it is way too hot here for any kind of fire. The whole place would burn to the ground. It is so hot during the day I went and bought yarn today to start on Christmas projects for the grand kids. With my copd I can't go out in the hot afternoons. Did get some grass cut this morning, now I'm in the airconditioning planning dinner. We are having prime rib steaks, yum, salad with home grown veggies and haven't yet decided what other side dish. Maybe I'll wander out and dig a few new potatoes.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Just like here in Summer Riverrose28. Its winter here at the moment so the fire is going a lot inside.

Made some home made meat balls and cooked them with some chorizo , sundried tomatos and some Fetta. Grated some carrot and onion and threw them in also. Will be having that again tonight.

My little (well not so little) boxer Laila has had a terrible ear infection the last few days, had her at the Vet twice over the weekend (cant wait for that bill to arrive, after hours call out) her poor ears were so swollen. I don't have children tho most think I treat my dog like she is my child (Spoilt rotten)

As I headed off to work this morning the swelling seems to be subsiding which is good. She doesn't enjoy being inside when she could be running around the farm allday. Needless to say I had a very Lazy weekend looking after her. It was only 9-10 degrees Celsius for much of the weekend and raining on and off the whole time.

 

[Jill]

H is getting better but it's slow going and some setbacks. Actually with him at the doctor's now for check up on his progress.

Dinner tonight will be sausage, peppers and onions with pasta (rotini?), and tossed salad ☺

 

[Riverrose28]

Glad he is on the mend even if it is slow going.

Tonight its zuccinni spagetti, I've got the sauce in the slow cooker now, won't make the zucinni till the last minute.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

We made something new (to us anyway lol) for dinner yesterday. We made beef dip. I used garlic baguettes which I browned garlic butter side down in a hot frying pan, we cut the roast (slow roasted all day in the broth) very thin and put white cheddar slices, beef and sweet mustard in the bun and dipped in the broth. We had guests and everyone raved. Yummy!!!

 

[Jill]

We haven't eaten yet, it has 15mins to simmer but smells super yummy!

 

[Riverrose28]

Because of the heat and my health I'm a prisoner in the house. I'm fixing something quick. Pork chops, rice, black eyed peas and fried zuccinni with ranch dressing.
