What's for Dinner Tonight? (recipe index in OP)

[FormrCastMbr]

Oh Jeez Laura! No more on line shopping for you! Do you have any pasta to make mac and cheese? Grilled cheese, cheezy cauliflower?

Give Caili a hug for me...poor thing!

 

[TigerKat]

Oh Laura, that is too funny. Kyle would be in heaven - chips & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese fries.......

You people are going to laugh at me, but here goes:

Everyone knows you shouldn't go grocery shopping when you are hungry. Well, since I can't get to the store this week because of Caili (yes, she is still sick but no worse...no better either, but I'll take no worse) so the other night, I went online grocery shopping when I was tired, stressed, and had been drinking wine. The order came today. I bought two different kinds of tortilla chips, about four pounds of cheese, five loaves of bread and most puzzling of all, four different kinds of frozen fries. What was I thinking? Not only that, even if I really wanted some fries, I didn't buy anything to go with them! In fact, I didn't seem to buy any cohesive meals (ricotta cheese, but no lasagna noodles... ).

I did get one thing right: I did order four large containers of antibacterial hand soap and several containers of Clorox wipes. Also, when the delivery man arrived I told him not to come in because my daughter had the flu. No sooner were the words out of my mouth, then the groceries seemingly flew through my front door and the guy was back in his truck. I didn't even have time to give him a tip!

So...what shall I make for dinner tonight? Cheese, bread and French fries? Ricotta cheese in tortillas and roasted cauliflower? I'll let you know what I decide once I sort out this mess.

Holy shamoly! Pu the bread in the freezer stat! LOL!

Good luck on dinner! How about cauliflower nachos?

WFD- Today is leftover day! My poor DH is working a double shift today, so DS & I are on our own. I just had leftover sloppy joes and dinner is going to be some leftover baked chicken wings.

Usually DS & I eat dinner at my parents on Wed. nights, but they left today for WDW. We have modified our upcoming trip and now are staying 7 days at WL. I can't believe our trip is right around the corner!

I took a chicken out to defrost for tomorrows supper...but I can tell you mine won't be done in banana leaves!!! Where does one even buy those? Another impressive presentation by liamsaunt.

Happy Wednesday ladies!
Ann

Where does one even buy those?

here we have a market called Freshco, it's kind of like an international supermarket and they have them, they're pretty cheap, I just saw them yesterday for like $1.29 or something. I've never used them myself though.

After surveying what I have in the house, I have decided that since it is just me and Liam eating, I will make one of his favorites: burritos. I am also thinking about making red rice. Does anyone have a recipe they like for that?

BTW, Kathy, I can't wait to try your rib recipe. It sounds great! I'll have to wait until Greg gets home though because the kids don't eat ribs.

This is what we call red 'Spanish' rice. Sometimes I will add beans.

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoons olive oil,
1 sm onion, diced
1/2 sm green bell pepper, diced
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet, then add onion and bell pepper and saute, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add rice and saute about 2 minutes, stirring, to coat the rice with the oil. Then add chicken broth, paprika and ground black pepper or salt if needed. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes.

Mine are in the oven now...wanna come over? You could be here in about 4 hours. We'll have a late dinner!

Ann, that recipe looks good!

Dinner last night was super yummy. I did take pictures as I went, so here you go!

Now see, you just have to go and make something like this! I am feeling icky (stress related) and I told DH we're eating fast food again tonight because I don't feel like cooking and you don't feel good and make something this perfect! Thankfully DH doesn't read this thread

I bought two different kinds of tortilla chips, about four pounds of cheese, five loaves of bread So...what shall I make for dinner tonight?

Fondue!!! With a bottle of wine as the fruit (grapes are fruit, right?!). Sounds like I well balanced meal to me!

We have modified our upcoming trip and now are staying 7 days at WL. I can't believe our trip is right around the corner!

I pink puffy heart Wilderness Lodge. By far my fave resort at Disney.



Like I mentioned above, it's another fast and easy night for us. My symptoms are coming back so I am in a state of freak out over what to do with my stress. Yoga? Medication? Acupuncture? Take a week off work and hibernate? Liquid diet? I'm not sure still.

DH will get his favorite Taco Bell on his way home and since I have to work until 8, I'll get whatever sounds good at the time or eat the leftover baked spaghetti.

Oh - btw - once the baked spaghetti cooled off, it became not runny anymore. So leftovers weren't runny at all. Isn't that odd? SO tasty, though it did use a lot of dishes... thankfully I don't do the dishes in my house

 

[liamsaunt]

OK, Laura, no more online grocery shopping for you! Did you even buy any vegetables? And no, frozen french fries do not count as a vegetable! Sheesh!

Oh well, at least I know Liam will be excited for his burrito dinner!

Angelhalo is right, you can find banana leaves at ethnic markets--I get mine at an Asian market called Super 88. It is about $1.50 for a big package of them. You can freeze them without damaging them.

Still have not decided wfd yet...the weather here is absolutely miserable pouring rain, so I am leaning towards something easy in front of the TV...maybe panini, or I have the stuff for pizza. My original thought was greek salad stuffed into pitas but that just seems too healthy and refreshing for this miserable day!

Thanks, Ann! I am going to go try this.

I hope y'all like them, when is Greg scheduled to come home?

Sometime in April for his morale leave, and then the tour is over sometime before December 1, so he should be home for Christmas.

Mine are in the oven now...wanna come over? You could be here in about 4 hours. We'll have a late dinner!

Sounds great...I'll be there around 8:30. Actually, with the way it is raining right now, I would need a boat!

Since I can't get to Lauren's, I guess I had better go start dinner.

This is where our DVC is... our favorite too! We were going to try somewhere new...oh well next time. It is just easier for us to be close to the rest of the family at FW. Aimee, I will force myself to have a drink for you while I am there!

I vote for yoga and liquid diet. Were you on an antibiotic? The last time I was sick my Doc gave me a new short-dose antibiotic that wasn't strong enough for me and all of my symptoms started coming back. He had to prescribe more for me.

It's my Crohns symptoms coming back - antibiotics don't help it much. My lung issue, thankfully, cleared up with the antibotics and shot. I wish Crohns was easier to treat... =(

I really do want to do yoga but haven't taken the plunge. I'm very out of shape and worry I'll be embarassed. Maybe I can claim a spot in the back?

 

[LindsayDunn228]

It's official- my Pooh has the flu, and even better, I think I am getting, too. Not sure if it's the flu, but it's something.

$%^&*(%^&*()$%^&#@$%^&

I am in quite a mood and off to praise team practice, a pissy story I will tell you later.

Again, @#$%^&*()#$%^&*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lindsay, feel better...tell Scott too!

Yoga is a good exercise for any level. You do the stretches nice and easy no one knows what level your at. I always fell a sleep at the end cause they played waves crashing against the shore, very relaxing.

Oh I was hoping that wasn't what he had. Take care.


I think we will have leftovers tonight.

For all you on the east coast send some rain here to melt this _____ snow. Tomorrow we will get more of the white stuff.

 

[Nancyg56]

I was going to make heart shaped pizza for tomorrow, but my family is vetoing that idea. Any suggestions for something else? I'm still making berry pancakes, strawberry milk, and Valentine's snack mix for during the day, but I'd like something special for dinner. Any suggestions?

Not from me, I am not creative at all. You are my hero!

I think tonight I'm going to make either a turkey breast in the rotisserie with my famous (or at least famous to my family) glaze........or white lasagne with mushrooms and chicken. I haven't decided yet

I was going to ask for the recipe but there it was. Thank you.

Dinner last night was super yummy.

Becky-I have never had Indian food but between your chicken and Janice and Sheryl's vindaloo I need to try it. Yummy looking food!

You people are going to laugh at me, but here goes:

No more online grocery shopping for you Trying not to

Both of you get well!

No can do Buckaroo! I have not seen a blade of grass on my front yard since the first snow flake. I had to admit to my sister, who is about as OCD as anyone can be, that my inflatables are frozen there, not ever peeking their poor deflated selves out since the first day they got put in. Yup, I used them once this year and they are totally frozen still . I feel badly that you are getting more snow but please please please do ot send it this way.

Our power went out this morning just as I was starting to dry my hair to go to the Dr. Buddy took me because I hate to drive in this mess. It finally went back on a while ago, just after we set the generator up and I ran my cords around.

 

[HERSEY]

Nancy So glad your power went back on. I don't do wel as "Laura Engels"

Off to throw a load of laundry in the washer
