What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[TAX GUY]

A little cooler this week, so I made chili (as requested by a kid). I used ground turkey as Aldi had it for under $1/lb. I had made, and froze, some pinto beans a few weeks ago, so threw those in there and let it cook all day. DH is having some of his leftovers from a mexican restaurant the other night. Kids are both at work. So - chili will go into the fridge to serve as dinner the rest of the week.

We use ground turkey for our chili too, and I like it much better! And, thanks for the post, now I can add this to our meals for next week!

We had a major storm last night.....started as dust.....you couldn't see anything through it (dust storms are not unusual here, but this was a very severe one). Then the thunderstorm came and it poured and poured and flooded parts of our backyard. I do love rain but this was intense and the wind that came with it was bad. One lightning sounded like it hit something very close.
Airport had to close for a couple of hours, people lost power for a longer time than usual (They have to get power back ASAP because of how hot it is). Trees down everywhere (luckily we only have one big one and it is fine). At least 7 sirens driving on the main road in about a 15 minute time.....not sure what was going on with that.

So this morning it seems like it should be cold out. but it isn't. Cooler than usual though. High 90s. But overcast and more rain due.

Dinner will be Meatloaf, gnocchi, bok choy and bagged salad for dinner tonight.

Adding...this is what a haboob looks like

There was a story on national news the other night about a huge dust storm in AZ. I think it was during a huge festival of some sort.

They mentioned this on the news but wow! I couldn’t really picture what they were saying.

Had to go with mom to a dr. appointment so DH made chili for us to have when I got home. He used ground turkey too, must be the "in" thing to do!

My daughter and I spent the last three days in the hospital with my granddaughter while she had her baby, so there hasn't been any cooking here. Tonight my son-in-law is making flat enchiladas for all of us.

Congrats!

I've been making it with ground turkey for awhile now, it's actually better tasting imho

I'm having another bad health day, so we ate at Shula's in the hotel lobby. DH wanted a lobster bisque do-over. Good choice! It was delicious. As I've mentioned previously, beef no longer agrees with me, so we ordered Sous Vide Chicken w/ mashed potatoes & sauteed spinach for our entree. DH should have ordered a steak for himself, because I had to bail, before the entree arrived. He's currently waiting to get it to go.

Pork chop with hot and sweet pickled peppers was dinner tonight. Had a small bowl of spaghetti w/ olive oil and garlic on the side.

We were able to have the salmon last night, so that means the leftover chop suey will be tonight.
