Did you look in the international foods aisle? The chile paste should be with the thai foods. If there isn't any there, does your store sell sriacha sauce? You might be able to use that...the chile paste will give your ribs the heat, so if you don't like spicy you could probably leave it out. What are the other ingredients in the recipe?

Thanks for the response, I checked the int'l aisle - nothing, not even the sriacha sauce. The other ingredients are garlic, brn sugar, molasses, hoisin sauce, soy sauce and red currant jelly. We do like heat, so I may just add red pepper flakes. Thanks again!!

By the way the Mega Meatball pizza is awesome, I had to put off doing the cake because we are having some friends over Sunday and I'm planning a big BBQ, so I'll do the cake then!! I love this thread guys.

The roast was a huge hit. I can see why it calls for two roasts. The small one I fixed was gobbled up like my family was starving. They said my roast is always good, but this one was outstanding. I will be fixing it again.

Today we are going out somewhere, don't know where yet. We have a lot of errands to run.

WFD at your house?

We attended a wedding last night, and it was nice for someone other than me to do the cooking. Tonight we are having homemade pesto pizza w/grilled shrimp, roasted red peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Taking the kids and my Mom and going out for dinner. DH has to work at 10 pm tonight so we'll vacate the premises so he can get some sleep around dinner time. Works for me!

I have to start on tomorrow's BBQ today and DS's high school football game this afternoon. So we'll eat on the run!!

don't really know yet--I'll probably grill up some chicken since the weather is so nice.

I'm making steak on the grill, mashed potatoes and some veggie. I don't know about anyone else, but I have also quit buying bagged lettuce besides spinach! My thinking is, if it is processed the same as bagged spinach, then the e-coli can be in there too. Also, I read somewhere that bagged lettuce is one of the dirtiest things you can eat..boo-hoo because I use to love the convenience of that!

BLTs and pub fries today.

I had planned on grilled chicken, but I'm not really in the mood for it. DS requested homemade Mexican pizza, but I'm kinda in the mood for a turkey club sandwich and the Barefoot Contessa's Cheddar Corn Chowder. Don't know who's going to win out.

 

[JennyMominRI]

I'm making 2 types of stromboli..Ham And salame and then either BBQ CHicken or Buffalo Chicken.

 

[Zandy595]

I decided I'm not going to make any of the things I mentioned in my earlier post. LOL Instead we're having beef stir-fry (with leftover pot roast) and rice. We don't usually have dessert, but tonight I'm making Caramel Hot Fudge Brownie Sundaes. The brownies are in the oven now and they smell wonderful. If it wasn't for DS and DH I'd probably skip dinner and go right to the sundaes.

I'm trying a new recipe in a few minutes. It's a burrito bake. The recipe has a descriptor: This easy casserole is stacked, not rolled like traditional burritos. The picture looks good. We'll see! I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

 

[Dislifer]

I added to my dinner of steak, potatoe and veggies. I made dessert...Icebox Cake...yummy!!!!!!!! I haven't had it or made it in years...can't wait!!!

We had mini tuna loaves. They turned out pretty well! I usually don't cook on the weekends, but DH has meetings so, I'm cooking.

Here are a couple of recipes I will make this week

Crockpot Lentil and Sausage soup

1 package hot italian sausage sliced
2 cans chicken broth
1/2 bag of lentils
1 small can diced tomatoes
2 Carrots sliced
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp basil or 3 fresh basil leaves,torn up
2 bag leaves
2 cloves garlic diced

1 Combine all ingrediants in the crock pot and cook in low all day..This will also cook in about 3 hours on the stove on medium heat
I serve with a crusy bread...... Make sure you remove the bay leaves




Chicken Parmegiana

Sauce
1 Can crushed tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
3-4 basil leaves, torn
1/2 c red wine or balsamic vinegar( wine makes huge taste difference)
Optional additions
kalamata olives
sun dried tomatoes
mushrooms

Chicken
5-6 chicken breast tenders
1 bowl with small amount of flour
1 bowl with 2 eggs
1 bowl breadcrumbs with more basil added and
Parmesano reggiano

Cheese
Mozzarella
Parmesano Reggiano ( specialty deli cheeses,You can substitute with a good parmesan)
Provolone(optional)


1 Put all of the sauce ingrediants in a pot to simmer for at least an hour.
2 Dredge chicken first in flour,then eggs then bread crumb-parmesan mixture
3 layer chicken in a medium sized oven pan
4 top with the 3 cheeses,all shredded...I think a good fresh shredded provolone and Parmesano reggiano makes a huge difference in taste.... Reserve some reggiano
5 Pour sauce all over chiiicken and cheese..Top with extra Parmesan cheese
6 Bake at 350% for about 45 minutes...Serve over spaghetti

We went to a church dinner tonight where they had salad, carrots, chicken breasts, rice and cake. It was lovely not to have to cook. I think DH and I might be going out to dinner alone tomorrow night.
