Eat at home

[charming23]

So many great recipes lately. I need to give them a try soon.

Tonight we are going out to dinner for my Aunt's Birthday. I do not mind eating out for an occassion, I am just trying to cut back on the "I do not know what to do for dinner, let's order takeout or go out" habit.

Tomorrow we are starting the big project of cleaning out our attic. So we are having vegetable beef soup in the crock pot.

Ok I need help. tomorrow is going to be tough. We are heading to the Zoo(membership so getting in is free) I know we will get home late. I was hoping to have something in the crockpot ready to go. I have skinless boneless chicken thighs- any ideas what I could do with those in the crockpot? I looked online but nothing is grabbing me.

Tonite is "mom's famous pizza" which is just my homemade dough- some sauce and cheese. But the kids love it. And Chocolate cake for dessert for the birthday boy(youngest turns 6 today- hence the zoo trip)

Yummy sounding recipes!! Making me hungry, even though I rarely eat meat.

2/16: Tostadas (bean) and burritos (beef, for the rest of the family)

2/17: Red beans and rice, me, family had a frozen, 10 min. in the skillet, Shrimp dish.

2/18: Papa Murphey, take and bake pizza my son in law picked up. He got bread sticks for me.

Tomorrow, I will try a new vegetarian meal. Not sure which one yet, as a friend at work, brought in a cookbook full of easy and fairly quick recipes. I'll pick one to try tomorrow!!

Edited to add: Charming, glad you feel better!!

Coming back to this thread, ate out too much lately.

Today - Chicken and dumplings and bread pudding
Tomorrow - Beef and broc with brown rice
Tuesday - Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots

Last night we ended up having chef boyardee pizza. It was yummy and I loaded it up with veggies so it was semi healthy.

Tonight is going to be meatball subs with sweet potato fries and salad.

I decided to save the vegetable beef soup for tomorrow since we will be in and out all day.

How do you do meatloaf muffins? Maybe DS would eat those...he won't touch DH's regular meatloaf.

Meatloaf muffins are super easy to make. Here is the recipe!

1-2lbs ground beef or turkey
1 onion diced
1 box Stovetop stuffing mix
2 eggs
1 cup water
Salt and pepper

Set oven to 350. Combine the ground beef, onion, stuffing, and eggs. Start adding water to the meat mixture. You may not need the full cup. You want to make sure everything is moist. Add salt and pepper. Use Pam to spray the inside of a 12 hole muffin tin. Fill the tin with the meat mixture. I top mine with ketchup but you can also use tomato sauce. Bake for 35 minutes until no longer pink. I also drain the muffin tin of the grease before serving. Each serving is 2 muffins.

I will put a picture up on my food blog.

I totally did not feel like cooking tonight, but I managed to whip up some frozen ravioli and salad. The kids loved it.

Here's the plan for the next few days:

Monday - leftovers from my parents' party last night (my parents are coming over to help us eat them!)

Tuesday - Cabernet beef in the crock pot (I'm working late)

Wednesday - soft tacos

Thursday will be pizza before the kids' swimming lesson

and I'll figure out Friday later in the week.

No, I can't do the raw onion, but there's plenty of cooked onion in the beans and greens.
