Tonight we are having some friends over (the ones I've been asking dinner questions about). I am having the crockpot cheesy chicken rotini (on page 1- it's DELISH, and it's easy), a HUGE salad, and sun dried tomato basil bread with dipping oil. I made a chocolate Kahlua pound cake yesterday

WFD at your house?

Where do you buy fingerling potatoes? I've always wanted to make them, but I can't find them anywhere.

I'm going to do something with chicken cutlets, but I haven't decided what yet. Any ideas?

Hi, sorry I didn't answer yesterday. I got them at Wegman's. I've seen them at other grocery stores from time to time as well. They're so good they really don't need anything.

Tonight I have no ideas. I think I'll go visit pg 1 and get inspired.

Tonight trying a new recipe--Fabulous Chicken Spaghetti casserole--hope it goes well

Tonight will be comfort food - Shepherd's Pie, roasted veggies and biscuits.

My son gave me an idea yesterday about his favorite dish "Glynis's ranch potato salad". He had heated up a plate of leftovers with the potato salad in it and said it was even better warm. So I made a little batch and popped it in the oven, just until the cheese melted - OMG it was incredible!! It will now be a side dish, not a salad in my house.

Gotta love Wegmans! I go to the one in Bridgewater...

Tonight we are having my family's favorite meatloaf...it is a basic recipe if anyone wants it...then I just top it off with tomato soup. I used to use tomato sauce in the past but I like it with the soup better...the sides will be mashed potatos and green beans with bacon...YUM...comfort food...

Thanks all and have a great day!

Wow! I bet it would be wonderful warm! Thanks for the suggestion!

Tonight is One Dish Chicken and Stuffing Bake! I got the recipe from the Kraft magazine. I'll let you know how it is!

I was going to make pizza but now I am thinking about grilled chicken salad.

Not sure what I'm fixing yet. DD has play rehearsal after school. I never know what time she'll get out (it can be as late as 7:00). Tonight she has a choir concert at 7:00, so I know they'll let them out a little early but maybe not early enough to come home and eat. Guess I should crockpot something so we can eat whenever, but I'm uninspired. Or maybe I'll make Six Can. It's an old standby at our house. I try to keep the ingredients on hand because it's easy to throw together and my kids like it.

Six Can Casserole
1 can reduced fat cream of chicken soup
1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom (or celery) soup
1 can Chinese noodles
1 can evaporated skim milk
2 small cans chicken
bread crumb topping optional

Combine the soups and the milk. Flake the chicken and mix it in. Pour in the can of Chinese noodles and mix. Pour into a 9x13 baking dish. Top with bread crumb/butter topping if desired. Bake at 350 about 20-30 minutes or until bubbly. I often use a large can of chicken instead of two cans or sometimes fresh chicken that I've cubed. The recipe is very forgiving, so play around with it.

Hi Merry!

This sounds good. Can you please tell me what type of noodles to use? Are they the crunchy chow mein noodles?

Thanks!
Lauren

Fingerling potatoes

Thanks. Guess I'll have to keep looking. There's a more upscale grocery store I go to sometimes, maybe they'll have them there.

Dinner tonight is grilled salmon (if I have enough propane), noodles, sugar snap peas and salad with my pop pop's famous dressing.

You got it, they're chow mein noodles. And they soften in the casserole. It's good. Serve it with a roll and a salad or vegetable and you've got a quick and easy dinner.

I'm going to post the artichoke chicken that someone posted a while ago

 

[Mermaid02]

Roast chicken- stuffing-mashed potato and peas.

 

[theycallmered]

Left over shredded beef, twice baked potatos, and strawberry pretzal jell-o.

We had friends over for dinner on Sunday night and there was a lot of food left over. We'll be eating this meal for awhile.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Well my dinner with my friends ROCKED!! The food was awesome and I think they really enjoyed themselves. And it was a good call to skip the appetizer. There was more than enough food and they were very stuffed when they left. It was so funny. I made a huge salad with just greens and tossed in a broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot mix, and chopped up some cremini mushrooms. I made a condiment plate that had red onions, green peppers, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and pine nuts on it. The cool part? Everyone went back for seconds on the salad!!

Tonight we are obviously having leftovers

WFD at your house?

 

[Mermaid02]

Homemade pizza. I have Weight Watchers tonight so Wednesday dinner is always a little on the "treat" side (after weigh in of course!)
