Tonight we are having spaghetti in meat sauce. I am using angel hair instead of spaghetti noodles, for a change. I LOVE them!!!

WFD at your house?

My computer has been down, and I have been using the laptop, which I hate! We have had a variety of chicken dinners, with vegetables from the farm.

DH is cutting tobacco fir the next couple days, so we are alll out in the field. Dinner tonite will be sausage and peppers on a grinder roll. I'm not sure for the weekend, it depends how much time I am in the field.

Monday, I leave with DGD for Disney! Have a great week, everybody!

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.

I sympathize with you! I often think about when that day comes in my house and I think I will be an absolute wreck!
My sister went through that last year, and I guess, just like anything else, you'll get use to it!

I went grocery shopping this afternoon and found marinated turkey strips in chipotle citrus. I threw them in a skillet with green peppers and onions. We had those in wraps with the leftover guacamole I had made earlier this week. It was really good!

Oops, double post. The DIS said it didn't go through, but it did.

I feel more like myself today. I'm still missing DS, but I'm not nearly as blue.

We're getting ready to sit down to a late dinner of spaghetti with spinach and asiago sausages sliced in it, corn and French bread. We can also have a slice of chocolate cake, since I have some in the oven. Just realized the only green thing is in the sausage and I'm not sure that counts. Oh well. We'll have to have lots of green tomorrow.

Those wraps sound yummy, MosMom!

I honestly don't know what we are doing for dinner. We are supposed to go out to eat with some friends at some point, don't know when. We are also going to the grocery store so if we go to lunch with friends we will probably get the fixins for a sandwich for dinner

Last night we had Creamy Italian Chicken. Tonight will be left over chicken or stew with peach cobbler for dessert.

Isn't it awesome?!

Yes! My mom made it this time and she went a little overboard with the chicken, but it was still good!

I forgot to mention that as of Tuesday (unless this baby decides to come sooner) I'll be eating hospital food for 3-5 days. Fortunately this hospital has really good food. You can even order gourmet meals to be delivered to your room. DH and I got one when I had my son as a gift from the chef, who knew my FIL.

Last night I made roasted garlic sausages with carmelized onions, some local sweetcorn on the cob, broccoli, and sliced tomatoes.

I'm not sure what we are having for dinner yet-DH and I are going to the store to pick out some yummy stuff. He gets to pick the menu, as he has to leave for a business trip to Mexico tomorrow morning. I do know that we are having grilled oysters for an appetizer.

Last night we had t-bone steaks, baked potatoes, and baby carrots.

Tonight I'm making my Kitchen Sink Taco Salad with BBQ-Salsa-Ranch dressing and taquitoes.

Lindsay, I make a really easy BBQ Chicken Pizza.

Boboli thin pizza crust
Cubed cooked chicken, leftover grilled if I have it or precooked (like Louis Rich)
Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce or whatever kind you have on hand
Shredded mild Cheddar cheese
Sweet Onion, chopped

Besides spreading the crust with BBQ sauce I also coat the chicken with it before I put it on the pizza.

I made a variation of a recipe I found on the internet. It was called Chuckwagon Skillet Dinner. It was easy and the family liked it. Best of all, I had everything I needed.

 

[Dislifer]

We had pizza with whole cloves of garlic on it...boy...we're going to have bad breath for awhile!!!

 

[Swimnoid]

Hot Dogs "all the way"....chili, cheese, slaw, mustard relish, onions

Tonight I am making Rachael Ray's Jambasta. I don't think I linked it on the 1st page but I know I posted the recipe. It it so yummy (with my changes, of course)! I am having a parmesan foccia to go with it.

We ended up doing an extended family dinner at DH's request yesterday, so the menu ended up as "big daddy" cut (2" thick) porterhouse steaks on the grill with a cilantro-chili butter. I don't eat red meat so I grilled a piece of chicken stuffed with cheese and chipotle peppers for me. Sides were Mom's famous eggplant sticks and green beans with toasted almonds. Liam doesn't like meat either, so I made him his favorite meal--rice, corn, black bean, and montery jack burittos.

I mentioned in yesterday's post that we were going to try grilled oysters for an appetizer. Well, it didn't work! Maybe we left them on too long (4 minutes), but they looked all shriveled up and yucky. I guess I prefer my oysters raw.

Today's family linner (without DH ) was grilled striped bass and swordfish. The striped bass had a simple garlic-parsley butter, and for the swordfish we made a sauce of tomato, cream, lemon, onion, and basil. Sides were (again! Fresh batch!) Mom's famous eggplant sticks, a killer salad of tomatoes from the garden, cukes, kalamata olives, feta, and a mustard-red wine vinagrette, a zucchini-summer squash saute with thyme, and WAAAY too rich twice baked potatoes. We also had some stuffies (stuffed quahogs), but I didn't eat those as they had bell pepper in them and bell peppers wreak havoc on my digestive system.

Tomorrow I have the day off from work and I am going to Cape Cod with Dsis and the kids and my Mom. Dinner will be fried clams at Captain Frostys! Yum!

Our tomatoes are coming in fast and furious, so we'll start off with a big salad. Then I'll do up some scallops in olive oil with rosemary and garlic and serve them over some pasta with some shredded mozzarella on top. If that doesn't hold us, we'll go out for some sherbet...
