[njcarita]

I am sorry to hear that you have been ill. I hope they find out what is wrong so you can get on the mend quick

Tonight we are having a vegetable pasta bake. I was going to make lasagna but forgot to get noodles so I am improvising rather than going out to the store.

thank u
docs keep running tests and sending me to specialists....going to infectious disease doc in 2 weeks...........i think its just hormones and peri and a bunch of difficenies(Fe,Pot Vit d) and a resurgence of anxiety and panic.........but now the new theory is an old case of lyme chronic lyme..............but cooking actully has been very therapeutic..
yesterday I made Cuban pot roast and day before rosemary apricot pork loin.....today I am making homemade mac and cheese to finish up some of the meat leftovers

Last night I made chicken taquitos from the Annie's Eats website, they were good but took quite a while to make as I did'nt have any cooked chicken on hand. Now I do, so tonight I'll be trying the cheesy chicken spaghetti from the Plain Chicken blog.

I did my grocery shopping yesterday. This is our menu with a few new recipes I'm going to try.
Mon.-we had tuna on crackers & salads
Tues-baked ziti & garlic bread

Thurs.-tacos
Fri.-pulled chicken sandwiches, using a Cafe Rio recipe I found & fries
Sat.-ribs & rice
Sun.-cinnamon roll cake/casserole (also a new recipe I found..I'll give it a try since it will be just me & the boys this night).

Tonight is

Salsa Chicken
Rice
Cheese Quesadillas


I have just felt so uninspired in the kitchen lately. The reason is that I am trying to make meals DIRT CHEAP so I can sock away the rest of the grocery $ for our trip coming up. Just can't wait to get to Disney and eat yummy food again...

Tonight is a Fajita Salad. Pretty much using left over Chicken Fajitas (chicken, peppers, and onions), heating it up, and making a salad using it. Lettuce, tomatoes, corn, black beans, tortilla strips, and a dressing made of Salsa mixed with Bolthouse Farms Yogurt based Ranch.

I really like this thread because you guys seem to eat "normal" food. I have three kids and do the best I can but I'm no gourmet cook .

Tonight - pick your own leftover from the fridge
Wednesday - Amazing Chicken, Rice and Green Beans
Thursday - Hamburger Soup
Friday - Sausage Balls for dinner (can't decide what to put with those)
Saturday - Smothered pork chops

Tonight is veggie pasta bake.

 

[Teresa Pitman]

So, last night we had pasta with tomato sauce and lots of added veggies (onions, red peppers, mushrooms) with falafel on the side. My son has decided that falafel is a good substitute for meatballs!

Tonight I am doing oven-roasted vegetables (parsnips, onions, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms) with some seitan in barbecue sauce, and I am planning to make a chocolate-blueberry-almond "crisp" for dessert.

Tomorrow I am planning a spinach salad with orange sections, pomegranate seeds and almonds, with baked beans and onions.

Thursday will be chickpea-spinach-tomato curry.

Not sure yet about Friday... I have a lot of carrots at the moment so maybe something to use them up. I also have a large head of cabbage. Hmm- coleslaw?

I put some chicken and dumplings in the crock pot this morning when I got home from work...the smell was heavenly when I got up! Just pulled some rolls out of the oven. I may be a useless blob by the time I get back to work tonight!! Carbalicious!

We had tacos made with ground turkey and all the toppings. It was really good. We haven't had tacos in a long time.

We had soft tacos for dinner tonight also. Tomorrow is grilled swordfish.

I have no idea what happened to my homemade pizza dough last night. Last time I made it, it was fabulous.
Last night it was thin, hard and crunchy. My seven year old said "It's ok mom, it's just like eating pizza on a cracker!" trying to make me feel better.

Oh well.

YUM! I love swordfish. I have never cooked it myself though. Maybe I will have to give that a try.

I absolutely love this thread. I have gone at least 8 days without ordering out for dinner or going out. We have some gift certs we got for Xmas so we will be dining out this week though. I love the ideas I have gotten from this thread. I even pulled my bread maker out of the cabinet and made bread over the weekend and have used it for lunch sandwhiches this week. Here's dinner plans:

Mon: Sloppy Joe sliders
Tues: Spaghetti and Meatballs
Wed: Chicken Minetrone Soup
Thurs: Dining out
Fri: leftovers
Sat: Sausage and onions on rolls
Sun: ???????

 

[OceanAnnie]

We are having leftovers tonight. I might make burritos from the taco mix. Haven't decided.
