What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[Meriweather]

Busy, busy day here......so quick Caprese sandwiches....on English Muffins.

DIL is getting out of the hospital so that is great news

I've really been missing pasta. Since we're hitting the road again & restaurants don't seem to offer whole grain pasta, I searched for a low calorie/ heart healthy pasta recipe. I came up with one that has whole grain penne pasta, chicken breast, parmesan cheese, light cream, spinach, sundried tomatoes & Dijon mustard. It's probably not the best choice, but I can only go so long without pasta.

I’m struggling with this too. But I don’t think whole grain matters if you’re trying to cut down on carbs.

We use edamame noodles......not the same taste, but texture is good

Yeah, eliminating carbs completely would be very difficult for me. I was having heart problems, so I put myself on a heart healthy diet. Everything I've read, says whole grains in moderation are okay for that.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look for those, when I get another chance to cook.

We like the edamame spaghetti. Not the same, but good.

I feel your pain! There’s tons of dry pasta in my pantry and I’m trying not to think of them even though I went to sleep dreaming of making a tuna shell salad, lol. Maybe problem solved though. Next weekend some of us are having an early Independence Day cookout so a pasta salad could be a of contribution.

Just back from a visit to a fishmonger and found a nice piece of tilefish. Not sure exactly what to do with it but it’ll come to me.

I’m sad to say we are home. Disembarking was super easy. We opted to keep our luggage and fo do the early walk off. We left the ship at 7:05 and were in the car at 7:20 and I was home a little before 10am.

I had a bunch of gardening to do when I got back so we grabbed a late lunch and had Mexican. I had cheese enchiladas.

I’m breaking down and having spaghetti and meatballs tonight. I have nothing else and I guess it’s better than takeout.

 

[leebee]

No clue. We have a bunch of errands to do after work, so I'm guessing we'll just eat out. I have some leftover rotisserie chicken from last night's supper, but.. we had it last night, it'll be late-ish by the time we get home, and I don't want to clean the kitchen.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Decision made. Doused the tilefish with an herb and citrus oil mixture and roasted it in a sheet pan. Cooked some tomatoes and broccoli stems on the other end of the pan and dinner was ready in about 30 minutes.

Also bought some strawberries today since they are on sale again and made a strawberry fool for dessert.

For anyone who is interested I started my food review from my cruise. You can find it here

Because I’m still on vacation until Monday. I made strawberry ice cream this afternoon. My dairy delivery comes on Friday and this week they also had strawberries.

 

[evilmommie]

We had a bonfire and s’mores. 2 glasses of rose and I’m done. Dinner!

 

[Giraffe_Zen]

We had frozen pizza that I cooked in the air fryer and chips. We travelled all day and are exhausted.

 

[PolymerSkywalker]

Chicken and sausage jambalaya with garlic bread. Ice tea to drink.

We went to Chilis last night. I had their Southwest Salad and a strawberry patrón margarita and dh opted for the steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli. Not sure about tonight. It’s raining here…again. I believe it’s the eighth weekend of rain. I might make a tomato tortellini soup that I’ve been wanting to try and paninis for dinner.

Rain here again too.
It’s the 18th out of 24 Saturdays of rain or precipitation since Jan.4 according to the local news.

Great to see another broccoli stem lover! I think they're the best part-slice them up,toss in oil and S and P and roast until golden.The flavor is wonderful.Kills me to see people tossing out the stems.

 

[Meriweather]

Send me some rain!! And cooler weather.
We're in heat alert for the next few days (and even then summer is staying). Supposed to be 110 today.

Busy day again......getting ready for Father's Day. It's going to be here. Not sure yet if I need to be the one to take grand kids shopping for their father.

Dinner today is Green Bean Steak Stir Fry

 

[PolymerSkywalker]

Tonight it’s boiled jumbo gulf shrimp, blue crap, corn, and potatoes. Corona with a lime will be the beverage of choice.
