I made NY Red Onions to go on the hot dogs tonight and it was really good! My son loved them and said that I have to make this all the time with hot dogs. He has never had them. I usually buy them in a jar...here is the recipe; its super easy!
NY Style Red Onions
2 medium yellow onions, halved and sliced thin
2 tbs vegetable oil
1/3 cup ketchup
1 cup of water
dash salt
dash cinnamon
cayenne pepper, to taste
celery salt, a couple dashes
cook onions in vegetable oil until starting to get softened. Mix in water, ketchup and the rest of the ingredients and stir. Simmer on the stove until the water is reduced. Serve over hot dogs...yum!

I hope you like them...DF said they were the best he has ever eaten. He says that with mostly everything though.
Don't you hate when you try a new recipe and it wasn't great or what you anticipated? That's why I tend to make the same things all the time
.Mmmm...I think I would like those topped on a cheeseburger on an English Muffin....geez...I can't wait for tomorrow night!

LBAK--so sorry for your loss. Sending thoughts and prayers your way.
Not sure about dinner tonight. I have to head over to my parents this afternoon, so maybe mom will cook something up for me and the kids.

LBAK-sorry for your loss.
Tonight DH and I are having steaks (with bearnaise sauce for me-I keep seeing it on the Food Network and I've never had it before, but it looks wonderful) and baked potatoes. DD will probably have a frozen dinner. I mentioned before that just about the only thing that I cook that she will eat is sloppy joes. If I make chili or vegetable and ground beef soup she dips crackers in them and eats the crackers, or she may eat a few beans out of the chili. She will only eat chicken if I fry it, and even then it has to be boneless. There are a few vegetables she'll eat, mostly beans. Sometimes she'll eat rice-she ate a little of the chicken fried rice I cooked earlier in the week. She will eat hot dogs if I cook them, but they are not my favorite thing to eat, so we don't have them often. When we eat out she mainly eats chicken tenders and fries, except at Red Lobster, where she eats popcorn shrimp with fries and croutons dipped in 1000 island dressing. She doesn't really even like pizza or hamburgers. I know I am babbling, but this has been frustrating me for a while and I needed to vent. I prepare what I think are nice meals and she refuses to eat them. She is 10 years old and I wonder if she'll ever branch out with her diet. Of course, DH doesn't eat vegetables at all unless you count baked beans and corn on the cob or fried creamed corn. He eats meat and starches. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would appreciate them. Thanks for listening.

LBAK ~ Sorry for your loss. 
Smarter Fettuccine Alfredo (revised)
8 oz. fettuccine
1 can chicken broth
4 Tbsp. flour (recipe calls for 4 tsp. I misread, but it worked anyway)
4 Tbsp. margarine
1/3 cup light cream cheese spread
2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
dash of pepper
Cook pasta. Make a roux with flour and butter. Add, broth, cream cheese, parmesan, garlic salt and pepper. Whisk together until thickened. Toss with pasta.
Tonight I'm making bbq pork chops, brown rice (first time making it), and broccoli. Maybe a salad if I have time.
It was good! I changed the recipe a little though. This is what I did:

What if she helped make the meal? Kids are usually proud of what they make and will give it a try, even if it's something they don't normally eat. Good luck.LBAK-sorry for your loss.

Spaghetti and meatballs, salad and garlic bread. This is an easy night because I made the sauce (gravy) last week and froze it. I love an easy night!
