Hi All,

Grilled Rib Eye steak, some sort of potatoes, salad and creamed spinach (frozen). I may roast the potatoes...it is cold here and the heat is not working here so the oven will warm things up a bit!

I have apples baking in there now and the fireplace is going! I will be warming my hands as well over the grill later!!!!

Have a great day!

I am debating between New York Strip steaks, baked potatoe and green beans or a Thankgiving Dinner with a chicken instead of Turkey. I think the later might be too much work though.....

I'm making marinated grilled chicken tenderloins, rice, broccoli, peas, and cucumbers.

We were going to eat on the patio, but it's still too hot outside. Hopefully it'll cool down before the time change.

That pork roast glaze sounds great....care to share?

It is cooking now. I'll let you know if its good. It was a Dream Dinners choice so I dont have the recipe written down but in the glaze was about a half cup cola, lime juice, brown sugar, not sure what else, they put ginger in a lot of stuff but I dont think in this one. You heat it up to thicken it. It makes pretty much and you baste the roast with it and then serve the rest at the table.

I spent yesterday cleaning and shopping, and then getting ready for DGD 5th birthday party with teh family, so we had pizza for dinner. Today was her party and for appetizers we had an apples with a caramel and nut topping, cranberry cheese and crackers, a hot onion dip with crackers and some kind of greek focacia bread. then we had tuna salad, chicken salad, and ham salad finger sandwiches and corn chowder. Cake and ice cream along wiith a chocolate fountain with cut fruit, pretzels, oreos and marshmallows. Yum!

I made the recipe for Spaghetti Casserole that was posted here. It was great and a definite "make again"!!! Not only did it taste great, but it's a meal that I can make ahead and heat up on those "NO TIME" nights!

It's so chilly here right now so I am making black bean chili and cornbread

WFD at your house?

 

[Nancyg56]

It is cold here also. We have that nasty cold running thru our house, we all seem to be taking turns. I thawed out extra chicken for the salad yesterday and I have chicken bones in the freezer from the last time I roasted chickens for dinner so I think I will make a good rich chicken noodle soup to have tonite.

I think I'm going to make Lindsay's cheesy crockpot chicken tonight. With the sickness in our house I need to get dinner going and forget about it--I think I'm going to throw in a can of Rotel in with the chicken as well--make it sort of mexican!

Yesterday for Sunday linner we had a test run for Thanksgiving and roasted a turkey, and also had gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, honey-roasted butternut squash, roasted brussels sprouts, roasted carrots, and a spinach gratin.

I don't know what I am making tonight yet...

 

[nucpharm29]

liamsaunt--Could you post your recipe for the honey roasted butternut squash??? Sounds yummy!!

 

[LuluLovesDisney]

Yesterday, my dad roasted a turkey and made some mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, crescent rolls, gravy and cranberries.

Today, I think we'll probably have leftovers, but potatoes are gone, so I'll probably make stove top stuffing with some celery and mushrooms.

tonight is pulled BBQ pork (it is in the crockpot), rolls and cole slaw

I have been planning meals each Sunday for the week so I don't need to start planning dinner on my way home each night - it has made things much easier

 

[MerryPoppins]

Mmmm, I think I'll do chili and hotdogs one day this week. Thanks for the idea. Now that it's feeling a bit like fall that sounds really yummy.

We're having a super easy chicken crockpot meal tonight. It's my do-nothing day today, so I wanted something that would cook itself. I've been working hard for the last week or so. I deserve a break!

 

[FormrCastMbr]

The heat is still not working here so I am freezing my butt off...if only it were that easy!!! Please pray the plumber gets here to fix the problem today...I am starting to get a cold...

I am making chicken noodle soup today and bisquits...anything that will make me warm!!!

Have a great day all!

I wish I could send you cold people some of our Florida heat. I have my A/C on. Actually, it's a bit cooler today, it's 82° right now. If it were up to me I'd have the A/C off and the windows open, but DH would have a fit.

Tilapia fillets are on sale at Publix so I'm grilling those for dinner, along with Teriyaki noodles and green beans.

Welcome!! I've been planning weekly menus for a while now, it really does make the week much easier.

Oh my goodness, it's so COLD here today!!! It's been raining all morning and I'm freezing.

I've got our dinner in the crockpot right now! I'm making Lemonade chicken. I've tried it once before, and it's yummy. It reminds me of lemon chicken from my favorite chinese place. Right before serving I'll cook up some brown rice, and steam some broccoli. For dessert I'm making some pumpkin bread with chocolate chips.

Nope. I'll post it, though.

Lemonade Chicken

3/4 C. lemonade concentrate
3 Tbs. ketchup
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 Tbs. cider vinegar
2 Tbs. cornstarch

Place chicken in a slow cooker. Combine the lemonade, ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 3-5 hours or until chicken juices run clear.

Return chicken to slow cooker; heat through.
