What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[NannyBeBe]

Tonight we will have spaghetti with meat sauce and corn. I have some leftover burger buns that I might turn into garlic bread.

During my lunch break I mixed up a marinade for a flank steak that I'll put in to broil tonight. For some inexplicable reason I've decided to try out a recipe that promises easy homemade naan bread that doesn't require kneading. I have some nice green beans to steam and I'll pull together a side salad with a spinach base to make sure I have a couple sides with the steak in case the naan is a flop.

Just picked up some pork chops, so I’ll throw those on the Traeger. Lemon arugula salad and I’ll make up some quinoa as a side. Maybe throw in some grilled marinated artichokes and feta in the quinoa. We’ll see how I want to zhush it up when I make dinner later.

I made a pot roast. Came out very tender. Just needed a bit more flavor and carrots. But otherwise I was pleased.

I can't make pot roast to save my life. It doesn't matter the recipe or the cut of meat. I follow the recipes to a "T" and it comes out dry and stringy/chewy. I've tried dozens of times, and the best comment I've had was, "Well, you've made worse!"

It's easy week for me. I was home on Monday so I thawed a 4lb package of hamburger and got to work. I made a shepard's pie (supper pie, as the resident 8yo calls it) and a big pot of chili. Meals this week have been:
Monday- Turkey burgers from Trader Joe's with sauteed mushrooms/gouda/avocado and smiley-fries (DD31 loves these), bagged salad.
Tuesday- Supper pie, bagged salad
Wednesday- Chili, corn muffins, and, you guessed it, bagged salad!
Thursday will be ham (on sale for 69cents a pound) with Noodle-Roni noodles alfredo and fresh green beans (SURPRISE! No bagged salad!)

I was tired after all that cooking on Monday (3 nights worth) but it's been lovely to have dinner already to go for the past few nights!

I haven’t been feeling great. Lady issues, I’m headed to the doctor tomorrow. I’m thinking my iron level is low, I’ve been exhausted all week. DH made boxed Mac and cheese (he’s is limited in his cooking skills lol) it was great, I didn’t have to cook and I was able to rest. I’m ready for this week to be over.

Don't feel bad. Pork chops are my nemesis. No matter how I prepare them, they are dry and tough. Maybe some of the cooks on here can help both of us with recipes.

Leftovers. We had lacrosse tonight. Options included: Pot roast, Shepard pie, and pizza (brought home from a work function today).

 

[WorldWacky]

Lacrosse for us too. We ordered pizza, wings and a chicken roll.

Have you tried Mississippi pot roast? I resisted it for years, because it really didn't sound good to me. After seeing a few people post about it on this thread, I finally decided to give it a try in the winter. It truly was the best pot roast I've ever had.

I haven't... because it doesn't sound good to me, either, but maybe I should give it a shot!

We picked up a couple different sandwiches to share at the Kroger near our hotel. After a second day of driving & one more ahead of us, we just wanted to check into our room & rest.

You really should. It was very different from what I had imagined.

It was leftovers reinvention night.

DS8 had pepperoni pizza, DD reheated some Chinese food, I pan sauteed a few leftover slices of tri tip from Monday and make eggs in the same pan.

Everybody got what they wanted and we ate within 15 minutes of being home from sports.

Tonight is chicken Waldorf salad

 

[ddluvsdisney]

DH has the flu so I saved tacos for tonight- easy dinner bc I have an appointment after work. I better not get sick ( although I probably will ) bc we leave for Disney next Thursday.

Heating up chicken tortilla soup minus the tortilla from the freezer. Maybe I’ll squeeze a lime wedge into the soup when it’s almost done; love citrus flavors!

 

[NannyBeBe]

Tonight is loaded baked potatoes with whatever toppings everyone chooses -- butter, cheese, scallions, bacon bits, sour cream, leftover pulled pork.
