Turkey Breast, baked white or sweet potatoes, stove top and some type of veggie...

Have a great day all!

New recipe. So, we'll see if it's a hit. We'll have left over homemade au gratin potatoes, which were amazing, if I do say so. I think we'll have salad with it. We've been on a greek salad kick. I got the recipe from the Food and Wine Festival. Best salad ever!

Just cheeseburgers and fries here today.

Dinner tonight was Polynesian pork roast (way yummy!)

Sounds good - care to share?

It's red bean and rice Monday with grilled smoked sausage.

How are you doing, Kathy?

Tonight we're having Cajun 15 bean soup with ham. It's simmering in the crockpot. Smells great! I love it. It's the first time for the family. I guess I better have the chicken nuggets ready as back up, just in case. LOL.

 

[TigerKat]

How are you doing, Kathy?

Not too good today, but thanks for asking.

Sure. I got it from a lady at my church. We all loved it!

Polynesian Pork Roast

3-4 pound pork roast
3/4 C. Apricot Pineapple preserves
1/2 C. brown sugar
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/4 C. apple cider vinegar
1/2 C. soy sauce
1/4 C. molasses
2 C. chicken broth

Place pork roast in a crockpot. Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Can thicken the juice for a nice gravy by adding some cornstarch dissolved in water.

Enjoy!

Dinner tonight will be baked pork chops with brown rice. Not sure on the veggie. Gotta see what I have on hand. There's always salad!

 

[Mermaid02]

pork chops, leftover pasta bake thingy that we made from a Rachel Ray recipe and green beans.

Sorry for your loss Kathy.

Tonight we had roast beef po' boys.

Probably my single favorite food. Now I might have to do those this week.

Tonight we had sauteed sole with a brown butter-lemon sauce, rice pilaf, and peas. Very simple, and tasty. I am not up for making anything complicated--I am coming down with what looks to be a monster cold, and DH is upstairs sneezing uncontrollably as I type, so it looks like he is in for it too. Grr! I hate colds!!

Tonight we are having baked teriyaki chicken, rice, and stir-fry vegetables.

WFD at your house?

 

[stacy347]

Today I'm going to roast a stuffed chicken (basted with garlic rosemary butter) and I'll pop in some baked potatoes and green beans to go with it. I think I'll do a simple butter cake for dessert later.

Tonight we're having Golden Chicken breasts, with sweet potatoes and green beans. I might make some cous cous to go with it. Or I'll just throw a salad together and make it a carbless dinner.

Last's night recipe was a MAJOR hit. DH said he could "drink the sauce". Super easy too!

Chicken pieces(I used a whole cut up chicken, b/c it's cheap)
1/2 jar Apricot Preserves
1 bottle French dressing
1 envelope Onion Soup mix

Place chicken in pan(I removed the skins to help keep the fat down)
Combine other ingredients and pour over chicken. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour.

My tip of the day, not that any asked. Line your baking pan with parchment, no clean up required! I used to put layers and layers of foil in my pans trying to make it so the grease wouldn't slip under it. I HATE washing the pans I cook my meats in. I finally figured I could use parchment(up to 420) and it fits over all my pans with just one piece!

Thanks to the person who posted the Polynesian Pork recipe. I had a pork roast on my menu for the week. I am going to try out that recipe!

Burgers and fries tonight--I really need to hit the store--but we'll see!

I make this too! Only I use boneless breasts...my family loves it too! Thanks also for the parchment tip...I hate the baked on pan clean up too...I read somewhere to put a dryer sheet in the pan and let it soak for about 10 minutes...the stuff wipes right out.

I am making sausage, shells and peas tonight along with garlic bread...I needed something easy, crazy day here. OT (a vent session) I just had to pick up a loner car too...my 6 month old car was flat bedded out of the driveway yesterday...the engine is going... . That's what I get for getting a lemon yellow car...

Tonight is DH's favorite "Chicken Seinfeld", yep named after Jerry. I'll post the recipe a little later. Not sure of what sides I'm doing yet.

Can't wait for that recipe!!! Gotta have a Seinfeld party for that one!

DMIL LOVES the apricot chicken recipe. She makes it frequently.

I was going to have ginger/apple pork chops but seeing how DH doesnt like "out of the ordinary" food I switched to burgers and hashbrowns since we had kind of "fancy" food last night.
