Morning all! Can you believe tomorrow is April 1?! Where has this year gone?!

Tonight we are going to Subway for dinner. I somehow planned a lot of meals with cheese in them this week and um, uh, I'm starting to feel it. So we decided to go get sandwiches tonight and go get our groceries.

So what are you having for dinner tonight?

Have a GREAT Friday!!!

Tonight will be marinated, grilled, chicken breasts and fresh steamed brussel sprouts and spinach salad. (We're currently cutting out the potatoes, rice and pasta dishes at DH's request)

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Ranatra, what are you going to marinate your chicken in?

Not cooking again today. The girls and I will eat at the mall in between shopping and DH will have to grab something for himself after work.

Tonight I am making grilled bajun chicken with avocado salsa, fried plantains, and corn sauteed with jalepenos and cumin.

It is so nice out today! Tonight will be the first night we've fired up the grill this year.

We're having chicken parm with angel hair and a salad.
Haven't decided if I'll be good and bake the chicken, or bad(but tastes so much better) and fry the chicken before popping it in the oven with the sauce and cheese..

I'm thinking we're being taken out for dinner tonight. My SIL blogged about all the great food she's been finding in Lakeland and how we'd love it when they take us out. A phone call is in order. Subtle hint on her part? In any case, I'll take her up on it!

We're going to DM's house for dinner. She's having a 'happy engagement' dinner for DB and future SIL. I think we'll be having Chicken on the Can. I'm taking a Peanut Butter Cup pie.

Today we're going to grill a couple of ribeyes and cook up some corn on the cob (first batch of the season ) ~ I'll probably make a batch of cole slaw to go with it.

For tonight's dinner, I am grilling salmon with a maple-soy glaze, and serving with green beans with almonds, steamed broccoli, and from scratch macaroni and cheese. DH still isn't feeling great, so hopefully he will be able to eat it.

Shrimp Scampi, a crab leg cluster for youngest and creamed spinach.

Youngest wants to know how to cook. Two weeks ago, we made crab cakes. Now he wants to know how to make scampi. He's 6 and I think he's already got plans on opening a restaurant someday!

We are going to a b-day cookout at my in-laws. My MIL is not the best cook but you really have to try to screw up hamburgers and hot dogs. Know what I mean??

WFD at your place tonight?
