What's For DINNER Tonight?

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

I didn't feel well tonight so C made his own dinner - wraps - and I haven't eaten. Hopefully this headache/upset stomach is from too much sun this afternoon and I'll be fine by morning.

Sounds like sunstroke hope u feel better reinmaker miniatures .

I have little mini apricot chicken roasts for dinner tonight with some mini baked potatoes and vegies .

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Thanks Ryan, I still have the headache this morning and no appetite (very unusual for me not to want to eat lol) but my stomach isn't upset and I have taken some pain reliever for the headache. I expect to feel myself soon. It helps that it is cool today and raining, no hot sun to contend with so I can't make things even worse by going outside, which of course I have to do to see to my animals. I'll be eating lunch out with my daughter today since this is the day my husband and I always see her. Tonight I think its a salad night, have to start using some of the lettuce in my garden.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Apart from catching up with your daughter and seeing the animals , take it easy and enjoy the cooler weather. Hope your better soon

Had little Lemon pepper roast with baked vegies last night , was very nice even tho I thought they were apricot when I took them out of the freezer. lol

Not sure what we will be hiving for dinner tonight , have a heap of vegies to get thru so may make some kind of veg soup

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Too funny, well, lemon pepper would suit me but my husband dislikes anything lemon so he would be happier with apricot.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Made a massive pot of vegie & lentil soup for dinner tonight , and most likely tomorrow night as well . Banana and chocolate bread in the oven . 8*c and raining so day in front of the fire

I made a Bisquick quiche for breakfast this morning, with turkey sausage, onions, and green peppers. We liked it alot and will be having leftovers for dinner! With oven hash browns, French bread, and spinach salad.

This evening, I'm going to make a spaghetti pie. It's a lot like lasagna, and I can use the leftover spaghetti sauce that I didn't already freeze from a few days ago. With tossed salad, fresh cantaloupe, and bread.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I was going to have left over soup for dinner, but thinking I will freeze the rest of it . Have had it the last 2 nights and my taste buds are thinking differently today.

Will call into the supermarket on the way home from work and see what grabs my attention.

 

[Jill]

We're going to be doing a repeat of last night. We have plenty of spaghetti pie left, and we liked it better than lasagna! Below is the recipe I based it on, but I used leftover spaghetti sauce that I had on hand. It's going to become a go to for us when we have leftover spaghetti sauce (which is frequently) I'm going to try and balance out my calories by eating more salad and cantaloupe than spaghetti pie and bread, but I can't make a ironclad promise in this department!

I like the recipe, simple and like you say a good way to use up that extra sauce. I'm too lazy to make lasagna anymore so we will have to try this as a substitute. I didn't cook all weekend, on Saturday we picked up a rotisserie chicken some salads and bread sticks at the grocery store and then on Sunday we stopped for supper (I had a Caesar salad with chicken) after going to a birthday party in the afternoon, the party was all deserts so we had eaten a piece of pie and a couple of cookies already and weren't terribly hungry. You know the saying, "life is uncertain, eat desert first" - seems like we tried that out on Sunday. Yup, Mom was right, it did ruin my dinner lol.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I agree that sounds great Jill, I will be definitely trying that

Reignmaker, that sounds like a great idea for dinner tonight. Chicken and salads it is

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Didn't have time to stop at the supermarket last night , severe weather warnings were issued and they were not far off, 25-30mls of rain in an hour. The heavens really opened !!

Had Mushroom and black pepper chicken kievs last night with sweet potato and steamed vegies.

Have Atlantic Salmon out for tonight, Grilled, chat potatoes, steamed vegies.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Made quesadillas last night, Haven't had them in ages. Served them with fresh carrots and cucumber slices from the garden. Today I am making quiche for the children's hot lunch program but I haven't the foggiest what I will make for us for dinner. Sometimes it seems that I spend all my time cooking. Barely finish cleaning up from one meal before its time to start on the next.

 

[Jill]

Sausage, peppers, and onions with pasta tonight. Probably with some diced tomatoes and mushrooms included for color, less carbs, and flavor and alittle mozzarella cheese. Tossed salads, bread, and some really good seedless watermelon (I'll probably put too much salt on mine)! Sort of wish it was time for dinner now!

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Sounds yummy, Jill. But I have to ask, .. you put salt on your watermelon? I salt my apples sometimes, I've even added a tiny sprinkle to my cantaloupe but never met anyone who salts their watermelon.

 

[Jill]

Yes, I love it with salt. It's so good that way

 

[Jill]

Tonight, I am making lemon chicken. I've never made it before so I hope it turns out good! Maybe with some peas & carrots, mashed potatoes and possibly corn.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Yum I have never thought about adding salt to apples or watermelon. When you think of it tho it makes sense, balance of sweet and salty. Thanks for the little tip Jill, I will be trying that

Had winds of 150ks yesterday and last night so dinner wasn't very exciting at all. I had a couple of sundried tom & pasta ready meals in the freezer so had them in between checking on the horses(even tho I know they are fine, just like to check as most of us do).

The night before was a little more extravagant- Salmon Wellington with mashed Potato and Steamed vegies. Id never had a salmon Wellington before but decided to give it a go. It was really nice and I will be making it again for sure.

Not sure what will be on the menu tonight as its just hit Fri here .

Have a nice weekend everyone

 

[Jill]

We thought the lemon chicken was really good, and it was super easy. It's going to be a go to here! I actually have more chicken leg quarters that need to be used today, so I'm going to make some more and I think it will make nice wraps / roll ups later this weekend, plus dinner tonight. Though this time with rice instead of mashed potatoes and probably baby carrots and salad.
