The What's For Dinner Thread - May '09(recipe index in OP)

[HERSEY]

Vicki It's taken me a while but I think I know what "Spag Bols" is please post the recipe.

Ellen I am sorry you and Laura are going through having your husbands sent a so far away. Many and God bless. When I was married my husband was called up to be deployed during Desert Storm but luckily that was when it was discovered he had hypertension and they couldn't find the right combo of drugs to control it. Needless the Navy doc weren't to nice about it.

Aimee You do what I do when I'm going to diet I load up too.

All this talk about butchers made me dream about going to a local butcher for getting a job doing insurance claims for them What a weird dream they had their aprons on and all this meat was all around I did end up getting the job plus a date

Tonight is leftovers I made rotisserie chicken on my grill and cheesy potatoes last night.

Alex gave me 10 hours of no arguing for Mothers day. I am still waiting to collect

Well, color me embarrassed! After that long post, I totally forgot to tell y'all what we're having for dinner!

I was planning on dijon chicken and spinach, but was just informed that none of my kids like cooked spinach. Well, too bad for them! I like it, and that's what we're having. I'll steam some broccoli for those that want it. Dessert will be the leftover Kiwi Lime Cloud we had yesterday! It was so yummy! And quite low sugar/fat, too!

 

[HERSEY]

Glynis Would you share the recipe for the Kiwi lime cloud? We love kiwi's and lime anything here.

scotlass--Why sure we can be facebook friends! I'm "Stephanie Krause Thompson" and I'm friends with most the ladies on this thread--so I should be pretty easy to find.

Yeah, I'm really excited about this weekend. Scott's family (for the most part) are really cool and I love hanging out with them. We're going to a winery Friday night for a Meet and Greet (and some wine tasting ) And Scott's bro and fiance aren't having any attendants except the kids at the wedding. It's my two, my niece and the bride's niece.

Oh and I decided at the store to make spaghetti with meat sauce. Some garlic bread and caeser salad. None of it will be home made--but easy and quick is all that matters this week

I'm adding creamed spinach and carrots to dinner. Had a Lean Cuisine today for lunch and it had that so I decided to make it for dinner too.

Sure. It was so refreshingly yummy!

Kiwi Lime Cloud

12 C. angel food cake cubes
2 6 ounce containers of custard style vanilla yogurt
2 tsp. lime peel
1/2 C. lime juice
8 ounce container Cool Whip, thawed
6 kiwis, peeled and sliced

Arrange half the cake cubes in the bottom of a 9 X 13-inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lime peel and lime juice. Fold in the Cool Whip. Pour half the yogurt mixture over the cake cubes. Spread to coat evenly. Top with kiwi slices. Repeat cake and yogurt layers. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until set.

I used sugar free angel food cake, and sugar free cool whip. This was yummy!!!!!

You have surely been through so much, you're a very strong person. I'm so glad the thread keeps you busy, we've missed you!

Well chicken went out the window, it's raining and I decided I wanted crab legs instead.

I have a baseball game tomorrow night so no cooking here until Wednesday.

Hey now, no apologizing here my friend.

Hey yj'all ,Sorry I can't comment on everything. Had a long wait in the dr's office. Only for them to say it's a virus & allergies. Also ran another check for UTI and that was clear too. She perked up some today, but started going down again this evening. We'll see how she does tonight. She shouldn't be missing school.
I'm bummed, both Chris & I are feeling very sick, very quickly. Since this morning we both have bad sore throats & lymph glands.

Thanks again everyone for all the prayers!

I have read back but can't remember a thing. I am barely holding it together today.

I really missed my Mom yesterday. Mother's Day is really hard. My thoughts were with you all.

Jay leaves tomorrow. I "HATE" goodbyes and this one will be wicked hard. I know there isn't anything I can do to change it, but my heart just breaks for my DD Elizabeth and GB Ethan. I just hate to see them hurt and my own heart is breaking also. So I really need to get it together before tomorrow. I guess I am just having a bit of a pity party. Sorry

Ellen, Prayers for you & your family. I can hear the strength in your words! I can tell you will get you & your kids through this hard time. Just know you can have a pity party here anytime.

I don't know how you've managed to be so strong with all the surgeries you've been through. I'm praying your recovery will gain speed. If you need to chat just pm me.

Oh we are having take out roast beef sandwiches again. My comfort food.

We're going to a winery Friday night for a Meet and Greet (and some wine tasting ) And Scott's bro and fiance aren't having any attendants except the kids at the wedding. It's my two, my niece and the bride's niece.

I love homemade Mac and cheese! I made it for my DGD a few years ago and she would not eat it....it did not taste ta way her Mom's tasted. Of course not.....it was not from a box!

Oh my! You have had your share, haven't you? Just stop in when you can and post when you feel up to it. It is so nice to "met" you!

No wonder! It's okay to feel badly, no one is strong all of the time. I have found that when you want a little support the ladies here are the best!
