What's For DINNER Tonight?

[Jill]

Yay! Planning to make spaghetti pie finally this evening

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I made a Jamie Oliver Roast Lamb shoulder on Saturday night. It was amazing !!! - Garlic rosemary and lemon zest. I roasted some vegies to go with it and it was a BIG hit.

I had some left over in the fridge and had thought about doing a lamb shoulder Risotto but at the last minute I changed my mind. I sliced the lamb up and lightly fried it in a little butter just to heat it through. I ended up making my own version of a steak sanga but using the lamb instead. Tomato, cucumber, fetta, rocket (arugula) and some Beetrot chutney & Mayo. So easy and so good.

It's an easy dinner tonight. One of those take and bake deli pizzas with some green beans and salad

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Last night was chicken kiev & salad. Tonight will be something easy

 

[chandab]

Fish sticks and French fries, can't get much easier. I was in town today and knew I wouldn't want to cook when I got home, so grabbed some of each and threw it in the oven after I fed.

 

[Jill]

We sorta are thinking the same, Chanda! I'm making fish fillets (from frozen), crock pot scalloped potatoes, canned green beans and salad. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't already hungry for it, a good 10hrs ahead of time

 

[Jill]

Harvey remembered we had a big ham steak in the freezer, and since that's actually even easier than the frozen fish and goes with the sides, that is what's for dinner today.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Stir fry vegies and noodles last night .

Oven fish and salad tonight

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Box oven fish last night. tried this new one that had a crumb on top. It was as thick as the fish itself but tasted ok.

Its going to be 35 degrees (95f) here today so I will be having something on the cooler side for dinner. Fruit and Yogurt or maybe a salad, but it will be something easy...

 

[Jill]

Beans and rice tonight with extra bell peppers, onions and tomatoes with shredded cheese and sour cream to garnish. I think I have stuff for a little salad, too

 

[Ryan Johnson]

May Have had McDonalds last night as by the time I finished watering it was nearly 8:30pm.

Tonight may be a Pizza . Ill shop tomorrow morning and put some effort in over the weekend.

 

[Jill]

We had a terrible afternoon. We had to have Willow, our 15yo shih-tzu, put t sleep one week after losing our other 15yo shih-tzu, Whitney. Wasn't up to making even beans and rice but did console ourselves slightly with carryout pizza. I'll make the beans and rice this evening. This has been a really rough past week here. Those little dogs are our babies for sure.

I'm so sorry you lost your little ones, it is never easy to let them go, but at least you know you have done your best for them, and loved them to pieces while they were here.

Our grocery stores are having turkey wars before Thanksgiving. We had ordered our holiday bird from the butcher months ago, since I'm set for the holiday, I really didn't need to buy another one, but I couldn't resist the .57 cent a pound so I bought one and that is what we had for dinner last night, and tonight we are having left over turkey, stuffing and potatos and gravy. I cut the turkey up and put into freezer bags so this winter we will have plenty for turkey and dumplins. I'm simmering the bones now for broth. I've had three leg surgeries since Oct. 28th and more to come, won't be done with them till Jan. so the more I can put away already cooked is great for me.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Sorry to hear Jill , sending you best wishes.

I made a Chicken & Pumpkin Red Curry on Sat night and had left overs last night .

Went and did a big food shop sat morning. Love how all the summer fruits are starting to reappear after the cooler months.

Terry, i hope the rest of your surgeries go well for you

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Oh Jill, I am so sorry to hear about your little dogs. It always hurts so much to say good bye. I hope the memories you made over the past 15 years with them comforts you and of course the on going love of the ones that are still with you.

Terry, wow! .57cents a pound. The best price our stores offer is .98 a pound. I don't think I can even raise them myself for .57.I would have snagged one too.

I haven't been on here for a time because my husband lost his job and it just seems we are always on the go now. Haven't been cooking much, soup(canned) and sandwiches mostly but last night we had company for dinner and I made spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread followed by cinnamon buns for desert. Tonight it will be left overs.

 

[chandab]

We had a Thanksgiving preview.... Turkey, potatoes, gravy, and corn. I've had the bird in the freezer since last Thanksgiving, got it free when I bought $100 worth of groceries at Albertson's. I was going to make it right after the new year and never got to it.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

Tonight its going to be bbq pork ribs and green beans possibly some garlic bread again since I have the makings left. The garlic bread is a premade bread that I just grill quickly in a pan or put under the broiler. We love it and my husband would gladly have it with every dinner ...except if I bake fresh bread then he'd choose that lol. He does like his breads.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I love fresh bread, It goes with everything

Well last night I had chicken stuffed with tomato paste, ham and cheese, a little like a Parmagiana with some steamed vegies.

Wont be home still late so something easy maybe

 

[Jill]

Deli take and bake pizza, green beans, carrots and maybe some peppermint ice cream. Fits the amount of time I think I'll have this evening and for sure what we like to eat. Hoping to do better soon... Maybe a meatloaf, a stir fry, chili. Things that require more than opening packages and cans

 

[chandab]

Left-overs for us, I have some pasta hot dish from the night before I made the Turkey, so it needs to get eaten soon.
