My favorite meal

Me too!

I make it with ground turkey. I sauteed a lot of yellow onions before adding the meat. I think it really added a lot to the flavor. I couldn't tell the difference between the turkey sauce or the beef I've made in the past. The funny thing is I don't like onions very much at all. But if they are cooked down, they taste great!

Tonight since I had so many noodles and some sauce left over, I made a spaghetti bake. I did have to make another batch of sauce, but that's okay. We'll have that with garlic bread and something green. It'll be good!

Tue.- Chicken enchiladas
Wed.- Breakfast for dinner, probably scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, orange glazed biscuits, and some fruit
Thurs.- Looking for a meatless dish
Fri.- Cheese pizza

I found a recipe from L-Harper ( the link is her post 2373) for sweet and sour chicken and it was so good! I changed it a little by adding just half of the garlic salt and I made only 2 large chicken breasts but the same amount of sauce. It tasted just like the orange chicken we get from a chinese restaurant. Thanks!

I don't have a whole menu for the week yet.

Monday- meatloaf, baked potatoes, canned corn ( dd12's request), pear and walnut salad
Tuesday- baked tilapia with italian bread crumbs, rice, peas
Weds-breakfast for dinner- omelettes with mushrooms and peppers, hashbrowns, waffles, maybe sausage and fruit, too.
Thursday-chicken with alfredo sauce and linguine, vegetable.

I'm curious when does everybody eat dinner? We eat between 4:30-5:30 b/c my kids have activities that start during the traditional dinner time. They always want a meal before they go.

Since I've been pregnant we've been eating earlier, like at 6:30-7pm because I'm starving once I get home from work, lol. But normally we eat at 8-8:30 pm. it's just me, my hubby, and my mom so eating late works for us. My husband would want to eat again before bed if we ate too early like at 5ish. He'd be scrounging through the fridge for anything to eat, most likely junk food, we eat later so I can curb his unhealthy snacking lol

We usually eat around 6 or 630 pm. I am home by 5pm. This gives me time to make dinner and pack lunches for the next day, and for the kids to get homework done. This is the goal so that dinner can be relaxed and not rushed due to homework that still needs to be finished.

Tonight we are having cheeseburger hamburger helper ( I do not usually use boxed dinners like that but I have not had it since I was a little girl), salad and applesauce.

We eat at different times. We usually eat between 5 and 6pm. If I am working a closing shift we usually have a bigger meal at lunch and then snack later.

I have to ask....is your name Lorien? My daughter's name is Lorien and I only know of one other Lorien...who was a waitress in Indianapolis whom my husband first got the name idea from. Well, another place her name idea came from was the place Lothlorien in the book Lord of the Rings...so cool if that is what your name is...I feel bad sometimes that her name is so unique NO one else has it!

Our daughter is also named Lorien, from the Tolkein trilogy. She was one of two Lorien's in her grade school. There is also a facebook page for Lorien's

Love Tolkein's description "Lothlorien had seen the evil of the world and was not unchanged. But her central character remained unscarred." I think that's a great dream for a daughter.

tonight we are having ground chicken tacos and spanish rice.
