What's For DINNER Tonight?

[Ryan Johnson]

Made a curried Pumpkin and zucchini slice last night for dinner , gee it was nice

Had dinner in the city on Sat night as I took my niece to see "Matilda" the musical for her 21st (Amazing) So nice to have someone else cook for you for a change

 

[Jill]

I didn't end up making the spaghetti sauce until this morning. We've been eating deli type sandwiches with salads and one or two big homemade breakfasts. The spaghetti sauce in the crock pot now, and there is lots of it! I'm going to have to freeze some of it, I think, and either make a spaghetti pie or lasagna for later this week. Kinda smells like Olive Garden around here right about now.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

We had left overs here last night , left over zucchini and pumpkin slice. I hurt my hip trying to get on my horse a while back and now its giving me grief. So strict orders form the chiro that im to do NO housework for two weeks ( who wouldnt complain about that)

Ill have to stop at the shops on the way home for some inspiration for tonights menu

 

[Jill]

Second verse same as the first

In other words, leftovers... spaghetti, salad, and bread

I might make a refrigerator cheesecake / coolwhip pie using Splenda instead of sugar.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Takeaway Chinese food last night . Will be doing a BIG food shop on the way home so I can make something a little healthier tonight

 

[chandab]

ooh, Chinese food, sounds yummy. We have a good restaurant in town that has a really yummy lunch buffet; we go there often enough to enjoy it, but not so often that it's no longer a treat.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

We dont have it that often here either, becomes too expensive having take out food all the time.

I made the Sausage recipe that Jill posted, it was so good i know it will be a regular here

I just par cooked the sausages then sliced them. Added onion , capsicum ( bell peppers) sundried tomato then at the last minute I added some wostershire and Soy sauce and a dash of honey and a packet of instant jasmine rice

10/10 and two thumbs up

ive been watching the cooking channels for new ideas and the one thing I wish we had here but dont is , dough in a can , Ive tried everywhere but we dont seem to have it anywhere in Oz

 

[chandab]

homemade meatballs, pasta roni and green beans for supper tonight. I ate too much and I'm still full 3 hours later.

 

[Jill]

Ryan, I'm so happy you liked the sausage and peppers! :-D

Tonight, I'm cooking a from frozen "turkey roll". We used to love those things but haven't had one in years. Homemade mashed potatoes and glazed carrots as well

 

[Jill]

We're making slow cooker chili later this morning. It goes 8-10 hours in the crock pot. We'll have sour dough bread and tossed salads as well

 

[Jill]

Oh, happy dance! Harvey wanted to take charge and make the chili! I will "upgrade" the frozen sour dough rolls to homemade corn muffins tonight. I love to cook, but I'm not great at dicing peppers, and does anyone like to dice onions? He's got it in the crock pot already and it won't be long before it smells like chili here ☺

 

[Jill]

We had chili the last couple of days, and froze some to take to my parents later this week. Harvey made it and it's good! I think we're going to freeze what's left over and eat it later because tonight feels like pizza night! I'll make us some tossed salads to try to cut the calories and carbs, and we always get enough from Dominos that we will have leftovers for dinner tomorrow

They've got good specials here Monday - Thursday. Large pizza with 3 toppings for $7.99... We usually get two and share it with our doggies. Yummy yummy yummy, especially with extra sauce (messier, but worth it)!

 

[Ryan Johnson]

So much Jill I actually made it again last night. We had a BBQ on Sunday for lunch with my uncle and cousins. Had so many snags left over and thought Id put them to good use. I added some goats cheese to it this time and it was really good ( once again )

Apart from the great taste it really is a great meal to make , cost effective and a million variations that could be used

I also did a slow cooked lamb in the slow cooker so will be having the left overs from that tonight with maybe some salad

 

[Jill]

Yum! I wish I was there

It's not even 1:30 and I'm ready for dinner. Maybe this is why normal people eat lunch

 

[chandab]

Thinking a bit of clean out the freezer, I have two half packages of fish sticks left-over from Lent, so will heat those up along with either fries or rice and peas. Leaning towards fries, as that would make it all a one pot meal and fewer dishes to do. [Have my first appointment for fitting a crown tomorrow, so supper tomorrow might have to be soup; but buying fixings for tacos, in case I feel up to it. I hope so. Just straight up crown work, no root canal.]

 

[Jill]

Chance, I hope you just need s crown! Take care!

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Easy Dinner here last night , Cream of tomato soup and Turkish Bread

 

[Jill]

Harvey went to my parents house today to help them with some things. He took some of our chili that we froze for them earlier. In return, they loaded us down with some food! Tuna salad, bean soup, bread pudding, and some frozen banana bread

I'm planning to make us tuna melts with pineapple (toasted English muffins, tuna salad, pineapple ring and cheese under the broiler -- so yum!) and heat up some bean soup

Does anyone like anything better than their own mom's cooking?

 

[Jill]

We're having our favorite crock pot pork recipe:

I use onions instead of shallots because we always have onions and I don't think we've ever owned a shallot ☺ Mashed sweet potatoes and peas to go with it.

 

[Jill]

Harvey went over to my parents house today, to help them with something with their garden hose and my dad's SUV. We have the same SUV but couldn't talk them through it (seat and mirror adjustments). He took over the leftover pork loin and tonight we're having chicken fajitas and canned reduced fat refried beans

Are you all eating something for dinner? I hope it's yummy!
