I am trying this out tonight. Ive been a lurker on this thread for some time and always look here for new meal ideas. I put my chicken on earlier this morning and cant wait to see how it turns out tonight-- smells so good!!

Thanks!!

Welcome out of lurkdom! I'd forgotten about this recipe. It does sound really good! All of Lindsay's recipes are fabulous!!!

Tonight is fresh cod topped with seafood stuffing, steamed broccoli and rice pilaf.

Not sure about tonight's dinner. I was planning on having taquitos with spanish rice and refried beans, but DD8 came down with a GI bug last night around 10. I am kind of waiting to see if anyone else gets it today, so I am kind of scared to try anything too spicy. If everyone stays well, that is my plan. If not, I guess it will be grits and omelettes for those who can stomach the eggs.

Chinese BBQ Pork Tenderloin, rice, and broccoli.

Julie, I hope hat your DD feels better soon.....strep can sure wreak havoc on perfect attendance! I'm sure that a day with her Grandma will go a long way in taking the sting away.

Lindsay- You have such nice traditions! Enjoy your special day with your sweetie!

Maggimus- Welcome! and thank you for sharing your recipe. We are always looking for more to share.
Glynis- I knew that it was just a matter of time before the kids passed it on to you . We have been saying that having kids in the house is like a weird version of germ warfare. I hope that you feel better soon!


No real cooking here tonight! We are all feeling much better, but I have a lot of food that I had planned for a leftover meal and we did not touch, so leftovers here!

Someone recently posted a recipe with hamburger and jarred gravy, but I can't find it now. I looked on page 1, but it's not there. Anyone know what I'm talking about (before I start searching through the pages)?

I need to decide eat out or cook at home. Oh the decisions.

I vote for eat out!

 

[HERSEY]

Yup! That's what I was leaning for . Tomorrow my son has a school program so I took a day off of work. I'll cook something good tomorrow. Plus tonight I have to make Romanian pancakes with jelly for his project. I don't want the added mess.

Day 4 of My Anniversary Week Off!!!

We had a great day yesterday. We had our Jack Daniel's flat iron steak then came home and made our November WDW reservations!!! We then watched our planning video and ate our Toll House ice cream cookie. A little later we watched Cinderella and Robin Hook back to back. How's that for a fun (and Disney!) anniversary??

Tonight we are going to my grandmother's house for dinner. My parents will be there, too. She is fixing swiss chicken. I will post a recipe later if anyone wants it.

WFD at your house?

Happy Anniversary Lindsay!!

I'm making spaghetti with meat sauce and a loaf of fresh bread today.

 

[TigerKat]

Lindsay - sounds like you guys had a wonderful anniversary and I'm interested in the swiss chicken recipe!!

OKWMom - the brown sugar pork chops were a big hit! Thanks so much.

Tonight we're having "Red wine steak", it's basically boneless sirloin sliced into thin strips, marinated in a red wine/herb blend and cooked with mushrooms. Also having egg noodles and corn.

Have a great day everyone!!

Good Morning!

I never made dinner last night because my back went out, so we had Chinese. I am going to make some sort of Chicken Primavera tonight over Spaghetti.

Have a great day all! Hope everyone and their families are feeling better!

 

[Nancyg56]

OKWMom- hope that your home is bug free today

Tonight we are having a roast pork with mashed potatoes, I think, salad and a veggie.

This is a new recipe that is already off on the wrong foot. It has a dry rub that consists of rosemary, sage, marjoram and thyme, salt and pepper. I look all over for my big honkin jay of rosemary and it is nowhere to be found , so I have a mixture of poultry seasoning and Bells along with salt and pepper.

Anyway, it has roasted apples and sweet onions combined with brown sugar surrounding it with a sauce that has maple syrup, honey and apple juice some kind of pork or brown gravy mix. If it is good I'll post it.

I made the lemon cake last night and it was a hit!!!!! Here's the recipe if anyone is interested. I got it off the Kraft website.

Warm Winter Lemon Cake

1 pkg. yellow cake mix
2 pkg. (4 serving size) instant lemon pudding mix
1/3 C. sugar
1 1/4 C. water
2 C. cold milk
2 Tbs. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix as directed on package. Pour batter into greased 9 X 13 bking dish. Pour milk and water into large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes and sugar. Whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. Pour over cake batter. Place pan on cookie sheet to catch drippings. Bake 55 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 20 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Spoon into serving dishes. Serve warm.

It was so good. Not overly sweet, but very comforting. I can see doing this with chocolate cake and chocolate pudding. White cake and butterscotch pudding. Chocolate cake and cheesecake pudding. The list is endless. I can't wait to try them all! We had a lot leftover, so we'll see how it is warmed up again tonight.

 

[Glynis]

Dinner tonight is turkey and veggie calzones with a large green salad. Leftover lemon cake will finish us up.

Lindsay - sounds like you had a great anniversary! I, too, would like the recipe for the swiss chicken!

Kathy, glad you enjoyed them. I'd love the recipe for your red wine steak. I love cooking with red wine, especially because it usually leaves an open bottle that we can't let go to waste.

Nancy, thanks for the good wishes. It appears that no one else is going to get the bug. Maybe it was just something she ate at school because she didn't have another episode.

Last night we did take-out, so tonight I'm making the taquitos, mexican rice, and refried pintos that I had planned for last night.

Thanks Kathy!

Not sure what I'm making for dinner yet. All I know is it's going to involve chicken thighs. I'll post later when I figure it out.
