Meatloaf and mashed potatoes here...not sure of a side.

It finally snowed here. My DS woke me up so early thinking school would be closed but it's only a dusting...enough to have all the salt trucks going up and down the block.

Lindsay that soup sounds terrific...I'll have to put it on my list of things to try.

I finally got a copy of the recipe my family uses for beef barley soup...it is sooooo good, using ground beef as well. Let me know if you want me to post it.

Have a great dat all!

Morning all! Tonight is pizza night--whether I have to cook it or we go out! TGIF!!

 

[Cyndirella]

We're having DD's birthday party tonight at a skating rink, so we'll have pizza there.

 

[Zandy595]

We'll probably have to have pizza delivered. I wanted to make grilled pizzas, but I'm not going to have time. DS and DH have to finish the pinewood derby car after school. DS is getting new bedroom furniture Tuesday and his room is a major disaster so I need to work on that and get his old stuff out. Right now I'm getting ready to leave for my dress fitting. I'm a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding. The dress is mauve.

 

[MosMom]

DH is working late tonight and won't be home until 9 or 10 so it will just be the kids and I. I'm not quite sure what we will do. Maybe we will pick up a pizza at the Walmart deli. Walmart has fresh pizzas that are REALLY good.

Hi All,

I received a PM from Kathy and she is spending most of her time at her Mother's bed side. The doctors do not expect that her Mom will make it through this...please pray for Kathy's strength and her Mom's comfort...thank you.

Thanks for the update! Kathy and her mother are in my prayers!

Dinner tonight will be pine nut crusted tilapia, either green beans or brussel sprouts on the side, and cookies for dessert.

Tomorrow I don't have to cook as DH is taking me out for my birthday!!! My birthday is actually on Monday, but DH has to work, so dinner out for me tomorrow! The kids will probably have mac and cheese or chili fries. Depends on what the babysitter wants to cook!

No cooking for me today! We are going over to my IL's house and having hamburgers and hotdogs. We are taking a big family trip to WDW later this year (see ticker below) and we need to do some planning

WFD at your house??

ETA: Ok, now that my hubby is out of the room I can post more If you have read my posts closely, my MIL is not a very good cook. So hamburgers at their house will be pre-made Wal-Mart patties (not that their's anything wrong with that), cooked on a Foremann grill and cold. No salt, no pepper, no seasoning. We will have blah-burgers. I am going to sneak in a snack before I leave so I won't be starving Hot dogs you can't ruin (at least to me, I like them burnt to a crisp), but I am trying to eat better (see banners below) so I won't be partaking in one.

Good morning Lindsay. I feel your pain. When we are invited to dinner at my mother's it is the same thing. We always hope that she will have a cold ham as you can't mess up a sandwich but you can definately ruin a lot of other dishes. Worst thing is - Mom thinks she is a great cook.

I am not cooking tonight either. We are going to Bertucci's for dinner with friends from church.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Morning all! We are going out tonight as well. Have a great day!

 

[Mermaid02]

I'm still thinking about dinner tonight. I want something different. I lost 3 pounds this week- but I am getting tired of the same old thing.

Hi everyone,

Mom is now at home with hospice care. This will be much easier for me, I think. Haven't cooked since Monday, my two guys are starting to get tired of sandwiches. Neither one of them know how to use a pot. I may try and start putting something together in the crockpot in a day or two. I'm just really too tired to do that right now.

Thanks for all of your well wishes, support and prayers. My DIS friends are the only source of comfort and support I have. Please join me in praying that Mom goes quickly and peacefully.

I'll keep you guys posted when something happens.

Happy Birthday Glynis!!

Kathy

I'm raiding the recipes for some ideas. They all look so yummy! I made fettucine alfredo with some grilled chicken last night & my kids devoured it. It was so easy, too. Tonight I think I'm going to make a casserole of some sort.

Oh Kathy I'm so sorry . I am praying that your mother has a peaceful end and for strength for you and your family.

 

[liamsaunt]

Hugs to you, Kathy.

Last night we went out to dinner, just had some fish and chips at a local pub.

Thursday I made ravioli in a tomato sauce with some fresh mozzarella and garlic bread.

I don't know what I am making tonight--I made us a HUGE breakfast--eggs benedict--so I might not be hungry again today!

Lindsay, I am stealing your "blah-burgers" term. That really cracked me up. I feel your pain, my in laws can't cook either. Oh well, at least they are nice people!

Please know that you are in my prayers, Kathy! Is there anything I can do for you? I can PM you some of my families favorite crockpot meals if you want. Let me know!
