What's For DINNER Tonight?

[Performancemini]

Made H a brat, me a sweet apple chicken sausage, loaded baked potatoes and corn and baked squash. H had leftover cherry pie.

 

[Jill]

Making breakfast rice (never have before), an oven baked onion and cheese omelet, and turkey bacon for breakfast.

For dinner it's going to be homemade chicken fingers, sweet potatoes, and buttered peas + leftover dessert that I made yesterday - nobake cool whip cream cheese cake on homemade graham cracker crust with no sugar added cherry topping.

I think I get on side dish kicks. Right now, it's sweet potatoes and peas

 

[Jill]

PS that breakfast rice was really good and easy. The only catch is you're supposed to use day old (or older) steamed rice. I make rice a lot to go with stir fry, but this morning was the first time I had extra and didn't use it otherwise. I'm going to make it sparingly for myself due to it being so carb dense, but for H and others without blood sugar concerns -- it's really good!!!

I think I'll be making meatballs for supper, and perhaps just mac and cheese and a veggie to go with.

Had a couple of friends from the city come and stay on sat night so I made a Red thai pumpkin Curry and we had that with coconut rice and some roti bread. Quite a few bottles of red wine that night led to a cloudy head yesterday.

I whipped up a platter with Cheeses, dips, quince paste, grapes, strawberries, cashew nuts and a few other things yesterday in the hope it may absorb some of the wine. I actually felt a lot better for eating something and sitting in the sun for a bit.

I had some left over curry for dinner last night

 

[Jill]

Just a take and bake supreme deli pizza but we had one last week and it was SO good! Side of baby carrots plus some salad

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Bowl of Muesli with some fresh fruit last night..........

Summer weather today, so will pick up some kind of seafood to have with salad for dinner.

Night before last a threw things in pot! Sliced up some little sweet chicken sausage links, tomato juice, diced potatoes, carrots and corn, bit of sugar, italian seasoning, pepper and tossed in some thin soup noodles. Made corn muffins to go with.

Last night I made chicken, red skin mashed potatoes, peas and reheated some of the corn muffins.

Tonight Hubby said we could go out and use some more of his Texas Roadhouse gift card. We have an envelope from there for their anniversary opening. THEY have to open it. It can be anything from the grand prize of a $500.00 shopping spree at our local mall, or a 'tablet' from Samsung, a driver from the local golf shop (neither of us do golf-so I suppose we'll win that-LOL!!!), a number of community prizes or a free meal or dessert from the restaurant. I want steak tonight!

Left-over meatballs, a pasta side and corn

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Last night I had a vegie omelette. great to make when you have little bits of everything left over in the fridge.

Tonight I am going to make a Fettuccine with Smoked salmon, onion, capsicum, capers and dill. Either a cream or olive base, not too sure as yet.

Left-over meatballs, a pasta side and corn

What do you put in your meat balls Chanda ?. I have some ground beef that id like to make some with

 

[Jill]

We had homemade chicken fingers, these mock potato pancakes made with cauliflower (so good, my mom made them and sent some home with me for tonight), and mixed veggies. It was yummy!

For tonight, I'm making us this crockpot chicken dish (skinless thighs, onion soup mix, sherry, cream of mushroom soup and sliced mushrooms -- a long time easy old faithful that I've not made in ages), mashed potatoes, peas (or another veggie if H can no longer currently tolerate my love of peas), some splenda sweetened cranberry sauce and one of those cool whip / cream cheese pies.

I actually got the recipe from someone else, as I hadn't made them before, but this works and they hold together.

1# lean ground beef

1 egg

2 Tbsp water

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup minced onions (I rarely have fresh onions so used dried minced onions, 1 tablespoon of the dry)

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

Mix it all up with your hands, form into about 1" meatballs (directions say to use a broiler pan, but with our lean homegrown beef, I put them on a cookie sheet), bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until meatballs are no longer pink in the center.

 

[Jill]

Those sound very good!

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Thanks Chanda

Jill that croc pot chicken sounds really good

Salmon last night followed by vanilla ice cream with melted snickers.

Something easy for dinner tonight as I want to get up and hit the market first thing in the morning so i can get some fresh fruit and vegies.

Have promised myself healthy eating for the next two weeks minimum starting this weekend.

 

[Jill]

We're having leftovers from last night, but maybe this time with baby carrots as well. It turned out really good this time! There are plenty of leftovers, so we may have it tomorrow as well.

On Sunday, I plan to make crock pot chili. Definitely feels like the weather for it and it will go good with it being a football day. Not that I like football, but H sure does!

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

haven't been doing much for dinner lately, mostly canned soup and sandwiches. The weather today is crisp and clear but they are warning of the chance of snow on Sunday. It would be our first of the year and I have a baked bean recipe I've been wanting to try so I might make it for tomorrows dinner. Tonight will be chicken legs (coated with Shake and Bake and cooked in the oven) maybe some home made french fries and a vegie from my freezer -cauliflower or broccoli or..?? something from our garden harvest.

 

[Jill]

I swear, who would think 8 skinned chicken thighs, some mushroom soup, onion soup mix and sherry could go so far? And we love it... 3rd night, looking forward to it, but imagining that there may still be some after we are full tonight. I'm sure some of our dogs will be happy to help us out! They've got to, because tomorrow's dinner (and for some days thereafter) will be all about crock pot chilli

 

[chandab]

Might be eating out tonight, but only food where we are going is quicky bar pizza... We are likely going to go look at a new puppy, a Heeler for working cows. Shayne wants one, so hopefully one of the two available will click with him. It needs to have a little attitude to get along with Shayne.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

hope you found your puppy.

We ordered in tonight because I have a cold or flu and don't have the energy to cook. I was supposed to go out for dinner with friends and then to a Sarah Macglocklin (sp) concert but had to cancel because I feel lousy. So my guy ordered my favourite soup (wor wonton - wontons, vegies , chicken, beef, bbq pork and shrimp in a chicken broth) and some other chinese dishes for dinner.

 

[chandab]

Shayne picked a puppy; he and his brother got the two males from the litter, another neighbor got one of the females. so cute.

Not food related, but here's a peek, anyway.
