My step-father just brought over a huge ham loaf. I'm so excited, I haven't had it in probably 15 years. My mom told me he made one for them a few weeks ago and I told her how much I used to like it. She must have told him. Now all I have to do for dinner is pop it in the oven and make a couple sides. What a nice surprise.



Happy Birthday Mom21!

Thank goodness for the crockpot. We're having BBQ pork chops and some kind of veggies for sides, & biscuits. I felt better 1 day after finishing the antibx.. Now, I think I have the flu. Not fun.

I'm right there with you. I'm currently under quarantine because I am sick, and the doctor says I 'might' have the flu, or it 'might' be a contagious virus of some other type, or it 'might possibly' be something else. Grr. Did I mention that DH flies to Paris next week and had invited me to join him for the weekend? I can't make plans now because I am probably still going to be sick since they won't give me any antibiotics, even though I can guarantee it is going to turn out to be a bacterial chest infection just like EVERY. OTHER. TIME I am sick. Yes, I am bitter.

Anyway. Last night I made pizza because I did not really feel like cooking.

Tonight I am making chicken breasts, pounded thin and rolled up with some sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and basil, then breaded and seared. For sides I am making garlic spinach and crushed potatoes.

You kill me. Even when you are ill you make the most awesome sounding dinners

Feel better Liamsaunt and Oceanannie!

Can anyone tell me how to freeze green bell peppers? I bought too many over the weekend! TIA!!!

Can I come over? I don't think you live far from me. I LOVE crab cakes. I asked for them for Christmas (the jumbo lump ones from QVC).

You took the words right out of my mouth - amazing woman!!

I recently found deep-dish pizza crusts at our grocery store. So tonight we are having a deep-dish meatball pizza. I hope it turns out ok; I am doing some experimenting

WFD at your house?

 

[Mermaid02]

It's Italian night here so we are going to have spaghetti and garlic bread. DH has a meeting, but I think I'll put candles on the table and make the kids sit there with me.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Mermaid, ahhhhh the ultimate comfort food. Spaghetti and garlic bread. MMMM

You are amazing! When I am sick there is no cooking worth mentioning. Come to think of it, I haven't cooked anything worth mentioning since Thanksgiving. I hope that you feel better.

OceanAnnie: I hope that you are feeling better, also.

 

[OceanAnnie]

(snip) ---they won't give me any antibiotics, even though I can guarantee it is going to turn out to be a bacterial chest infection just like EVERY. OTHER. TIME I am sick. Yes, I am bitter.

I'd be upset too!! Paris can't wait! Maybe it's time to go to one of those urgent care places. They might give you some antibx.. You never know.

Anyway, hope you feel better soon, Liamsaunt. And thank you everyone for the well wishes.

Last night I took the pasta I was going to make, and ended up making a pretty tasty baked pasta dish. Browned up some Hot Italian sausage, added a jar of marinara sauce. Combined that with hot, slightly undercooked pasta. put it in a casserole dish. Topped with pepperoni, pizza cheese and parmesan. Baked at 350 for 15 min. Was really yummy--even picky DD ate a plateful!

Tonight I think will be pizza. Tomorrow is shopping day so our cupboards are practically bare!

 

[TigerKat]

Good morning ladies!

liamsaunt and OceanAnnie - get well soon!

Tonight I'm doing a cajun rubbed pork tenderloin with garlic/butter sauce along with dirty rice and lima beans.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Hi All!

Tonight is roasted chicken breast...I am going to marinate in TigerKat's Lemon marinade...stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce and salad...T-Day withdrawal...

you guys are in luck...I hurt my hand and cannot "babble" type!!!

have a great day...

 

[YachtClubWoman]

tonight is a quick grilled chicken salad - I grilled too much chicken on Sunday.

needs to be quick - we are going over to help my grandfather and clean house and do some laundry since my grandmother is in the hospital.

He is 82 years old and has never done a thing for himself

- needless to say my home works a little different than theirs

 

[Zandy595]

Tonight is Chicken Picatta, angel hair pasta with garlic butter, and baby peas. I don't know why, but the chicken cutlets I get from my Publix are always tough. I'm gonna have to pound them to make them more tender. DH won't be happy with me 'cuz it'll probably wake him up. He works nights and doesn't get up until dinner is on the table.

Well, DS requested Pizza Meatloaf Muffins, so I've got the ground beef defrosting. We'll also have some green beans and maybe dinner rolls to round out the meal. It's nothing fancy, but I know the kids will eat well. They love the meatloaf muffins. I love that they cook quickly!

I hope all the sickies start feeling better soon! This is no time of the year to be ill. Especially when Paris is on the line. One word of caution about urgent care clinics, however. 2 weeks ago, DH got really ill; sore throat, bad cough, etc. He didn't want to wait a couple of hours to see our regular dr. so he went to urgent care. The doctor there gave him an antibiotic just as a precaution, but told DH that there was no way he had bronchitis! Skip ahead 2 weeks, and DH is still not ANY better! I call our dr. (he's also our neighbor) and he came over and took a look at DH. Yup, you guessed it, BRONCHITIS! Just like DH had tried to tell the urgent care dr. (He's had bronchitis every year since he was 11, he knows what it feels like!!!) The antibiotic the urgent care dr. gave him would work from the neck up, but nothing in the chest. Regular dr. gave him heavy duty antibiotics, since the bronchitis was still there, and so was pneumonia!

Lesson? Don't let your DH decide which dr. to see just to save a little time on his day off!
