Jenny!! I'm jealous. Have a great trip.

We're having turkey burgers & Annie's mac & cheese. It is an easy night here because I've got big time eBaying to do tonight! Ack!

The bane of the single person...I'll be having something out of a plastic tray from the freezer

Last night, I was going to make grilled tuna and grilled salmon, but right before I started cooking, DD said to me, "My belly doesn't want fish tonight." It turned out her belly wanted a great big burger, so she had that while DS and I had sausage.

Tonight is the tuna and salmon, macaroni and cheese (in case the kids' bellies still don't want fish), and spinach.

I'm making spaghetti with GIANT meatballs and a big salad.

Tonight I am making pasta with cherry tomatoes, basil, corn, bacon, oregano, and onions, plus a salad and some crusty bread.

I'm making grilled chicken with tortellini pasta and alfredo sauce. yum!

I'm being lazy tonight.

I boiled a pound of penne pasta, heated up two jars of Classico Four Cheese spaghetti sauce, threw two packages of already cooked and diced Louis Rich oven roasted chicken into it, and mixed it all together.

Then I sprinkled some mozzarella, asiago, and parmesan cheese over it, stuck it under the broiler and served it with a salad and garlic bread.

It makes a huge pot, so DH can take it to work this week, too.

I'm having breakfast for dinner. French toast. YUM!

Hmmm, I don't understand why the title area won't keep my WFD capitalized anymore.

Anyway, we are having leftover Italian chicken tonight. I have a DISer to thank for that one. It was posted on a chicken thread a LONG time ago and we fell in love with it

WFD at your house?

 

[Mermaid02]

No idea- I have to go take something out of the freezer. Good morning!

Brats on the grill with grilled zuchinni and squash.

We ended up having turkey burgers last night as DH was not in the mood for pasta. I have decided that I do not like turkey burgers. They are just too dry. I'd rather have a boca burger or a garden burger instead.

So, tonight we are having the pasta I was going to make last night.

liamsaunt...have you tried buying the ground turkey with the higher fat content. I believe it is 85/15. I make them really thick and they are great. The leanest ground turkey is tasteless and dry and I find that I only like using it in sloppy joes and dishes where other flavors are there to make the dish.

We're having Chicken Stir Fry and Jasmine Rice...probably some more sliced tomatoes to go along with it...

Last night I ended up grilling a marinated pork rib eye roast on our new grill and we had cheesy mashed potatoes, fried zucchini, and sliced red and yellow tomatoes to go with it.

I'm making Spaghetti with meat sauce

Yes, I have tried that kind, and it is a bit better. Last night's were some preformed organic things--probably the low fat stuff.

The truth is that I am not a huge meat eater. I was a vegetarian for almost 10 years, then added back seafood, and later poultry a few years after. I really enjoy seafood, but am still not huge on poultry, and I don't eat red meat at all. I cook all kinds of meat for DH, and will eat a little bit of poultry, but usually only a few bites. I'm more of a vegetable person. Oddly though, I really like bacon! I guess I am just weird.

Do you mind me asking for your recipe? I adote BBQ chicken pizza but have never attempted it at home. A good recipe might inspire me to try

 

[Swimnoid]

Everybody's leaving home alone tonight. But I am going to try a recipe fro mac and cheese from an old church cookbook. They can have the leftovers!

I've been really blue today. My oldest moved into the dorms and I'm missing him already. He only moved across town, but I know it'll never be the same.

We went out to dinner, so I wouldn't have to cook. I think tomorrow is going to be spaghetti with sausage, french bread and a veggie.
