DH is taking me out to dinner tonight! I'll make mac n cheese for the kids and the babysitter! Woo Hoo! I'm going out tonight!!!!!

Did you enjoy your evening out, Glynis? I love dinner on a Friday, but I don't know why it is my favorite evening to eat out.
We had a really good dinner. Chucks is an old barn that has been aroung for years, we used to go there often. They closed and just reopened under different management two weeks ago. Dinner was amazing. We each had steak...DH had 22 oz NY strip and I had a 16 oz filet mignon. Both were really good.
has anyone ever had garlic bread with ham and cheese? WOuld you make the garlic bread and then add the ham and cheese and broil?

DInner tonite was comfort food....hotdogs, sauerkraut, and peirogies.

Peanut butter cup cake for dessert.

Tonight will be Garlic & Wine Grilled Shrimp, with Lemon Pasta and crusty bread for dipping in the garlic/wine sauce. OH so GOOD!!

I'm also marinating a roast today for tomorrow. I'm using FormrCastMbr's Mom's pot roast marinade. Can't wait!

Make sure to make a gravy out of the marinade and the cooking juices...it is really good! I don't know if many people do this, but my Mom always added some of the vegie and potato cooking water to the gravy...yum!!! Now much though...maybe a half cup of each. I hope you enjoy it!

Dinner was take out chinese tonight...DFi is now on his way to the airport and DS8 is sleeping over my sister's house...I don't know what to do with myself...watch a chick flick probably!

Last night we had that wonderful pot roast recipe again. This time I did two roasts (like it says) and put one in the freezer. I love cooking in advance like that! I put the gravy in a big measuring cup and skimmed off the fat, then put it in a saucepan with a couple of cut potatoes. I let it cook a bit, then threw away those potatoes. They removed a lot of the saltiness that I wasn't fold of last time. We had carrots and potatoes and peas along with the meat and gravy. It was VERY, VERY good.

Not much cooking going on around here this next week. DH is leaving on Monday morning for another business trip. DD is in the school musical Wednesday through Saturday, so rehearsals are hot and heavy right now. And our dog is in the opening scene, so I'm having to go to part of every rehearsal and performace. But it's all fun. We may be doing lots of fast food this next week.

I did! We went to Wallaby's which is an Australian bbq place. I had pulled pork and BBQ beef with pickled cucumber salad. It was really nice!!!

I'm sure it would have been better without the cold, though.

Hi all, I am new to this thread. I created a fabulous soup today and just wanted to share the recipe with others. Someone directed me to this thread as a good place to post it, so here I am. Hope someone enjoys it!

Chicken Tortilla Soup Better Than in any Restaurant

4 chicken leg quarters, cooked in a crock pot with salt, pepper, and 1/2 yellow onion, chopped, then deboned
1 pkg Lipton Fiesta Sides Mexican Rice, prepared as directed
3 14.5-oz cans chicken broth
1 15-oz can black beans
1 15-oz can hominy, drained
1 packet Williams Chipotle Chili seasoning
1 cup of salsa or picante sauce

Combine all in a big pot, and heat to boiling. Turn heat down and simmer for 20 minutes or so, then serve hot topped with crumbled tostada shells or thick tortilla chips, and shredded Mexican blend cheese.

2 weeks until we go to WDW!!

It's chilly here today and that calls for some comfort food! I am making spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. May have a salad on the side.

WFD at your house?

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Lucky you, Lindsay!

We are having basically the same but ziti, meatballs, garlic bread and salad.

Have a great day everyone!

Sunday dinner here! Roast Pork- mashed potatoes- baby peas-yeast rolls-stuffing. I was going to serve around 2 pm but my dh and ds just went to our hunting camp for the day so I'll probably do it around 4 pm.

Welcome! Your soup recipe looks so good, one that DD and I will certainly enjoy.

Today we are having a New England boiled dinner: ham and cabbage, potatoes, carrots and turnips. Rye bread and butter. We can have te leftover cake for dessert, I have a lot of yard work today, DH is out in the yard and can get rid of all of the yard waste.

Happy Birthday Sandy (Zandy595) - have a wonderful day!!

I've got Italian meatballs, tomato sauce & diced tomatoes, with lots of green pepper & onions simmering in the crockpot. I may end up using it in a baked ziti for dinner. We'll have garlic bread, some greens and I'm not sure about dessert just yet.

Today we are celebrating my Dad's birthday and are having a roast tenderloin of beef roasted on a bed of rosemary and onions, gravy, oven-roasted potatoes, roasted root vegetable melange, stuffed portobello mushrooms (for me, I don't eat red meat), butternut squash, and my Mom's most excellent, elegant apple pie for dessert.

Happy Birthday Sandy (Zandy595) - have a wonderful day!!

Thanks Kathy!
I'm looking at my Chinese take-out menu, trying to decide what to get for dinner.

 

[nucpharm29]

Not cooking here, but it's being brought to us--Our church group is meeting at our house tonight and I think we're having chili.

Happy Bday Sandy!! Hope you're having a wonderful day!

 

[Glynis]

Pot roast here with potatoes and gravy. Green beans on the side. If I feel up to it, I'll make some brownies for dessert. Tonight is family fun movie night, and I like to make a special dessert to go with it. We'll see.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Happy Birthday Sandy!

 

[TigerKat]

Oh Lauren - the roast in your mom's marinade/gravy is incredible! I guess I'll have to alternate between yours and Glynis's. They are both great, but totally different flavors going on. Thanks so much for the recipe!

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Tonight we are having leftover spaghetti and meatballs with salad. Mmm mmm good

WFD at your house?

 

[Mermaid02]

Leftovers. We have leftover chowder and left over pork roast. Anyone can have whichever they prefer!
