What's For Dinner - 3

[WebLady]

We still need to go to the store, so we will probably go out again tonight.

[Nikita706]

We're going to see Indiana Jones tonight, so we'll probably stop and get something quick and easy.

[Measha]

Oooooh I wanna see Indy so bad! I'm jealous!

Tonight we are having ghoulash P: mmmm yum yum yummy

[WebLady]

We ended up going to Moe's ... definitely gotta go to the store tomorrow and I will cook something.

[KMS]

Like Brandi we are seriously lacking in the grocery department. I scrounged up some stuff from the pantry and random things left in the fridge. I made some curried lentils with carrots, onions, red pepper flakes, ginger, spinach, garlic, canned tomatoes, cashews, & coconut flakes w/ brown rice & a little bit of mashed potatoes. Very random and desperate, but good! :grinhappy:

[BamaBride]

We had tomato sandwiches. Is that just a southern thing or does everyone do that? And now i'm having peanut butter out of the jar , i want to stop, but i can't lol.

[Nekochanpurr]

We are probably going to Big Boy's tonight.. Going ghost hunting with my aunt tonight, so.. :D

[KMS]

[EarlyBird]

last night was shake and bake pork chops (fh fav) in this new garlic flavor, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn.

[Nekochanpurr]

We have a LOT of them around here.. In fact, one is across the street from my apartment, lol! They are starting to get expensive, though.. :ooh:

[MrsDM]

AHH. Send me a burger! I'm so jealous!

[MrsDM]

We are grilling some steaks with baked potatoes and salad. Yum!

[TiffanyJo]

same here... nothing like a steak from the farm...... yumm

[KMS]

Tonight I'm making a spicy marinara sauce tossed w/ steamed veggies - portabella mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, and green beans over whole wheat pasta. I'm gonna get Chad to bring home plain french bread from work so I can try to make a relatively healthy vegan garlic bread. Uh, we'll see how it turns out! :winktongue:

Chad's working a swing shift at the restaurant today from 9 a.m. to 8 pm so we can eat a late dinner together tonight. I'm soooo excited about that!! :worm:

Hopefully at about 8:30!! :D

Unless his boss tries to keep him later than 8 pm. This is what I have to say about that.... :icon_barbar:

Haha! :grinhappy:

yeah that was pretty great....those darn bosses think they can do what they want:bbmrgreen:

[WebLady]

We ate Subway tonight and went to the store. So tomorrow I will cook something.

[Whitewater]

Tonight we really lowered our standards -- it was Fend For Yourself Night at our house!

Fiance had some leftover tater tots and a pork chop that's been in the freezer for literally 8 months. I am SO HAPPY that he ate it, finally! And I had about a half-cup of cottage cheese and a slice of homemade dill bread, toasted.

But I'm still hungry (not surprising, given that I ate about four hours ago!) so I think I might go and cook up some Ramen noodles. (I can just see KMS cringing right now!) :) But they're quick and filling, believe it or not, and by way of being comfort food.

:bbeek::snide::o

:rofl:

[Parhelion]

Ramen is one of my staples. It's great to take to work--they always have hot water ready for tea and such. ;)

Tonight its barbeque ribs, courtesy of my FFIL. I love Sundays...most of the time I don't have to cook. :D

[TangoWedding]

Tonight we had sushi...my favorite! *droooool*

[WebLady]

We had spicy chicken alfredo tonight :)

[kgvettegirl]

Barbecue short ribs, potato salad, baked beans, hawaiian bread,RC cola watching the race go junior!

[MrsDM]

Tonight was Burger King. Too busy.

Tomorrow we'll do what I planned for tonight. Baked ham, biscuits and maybe a salad or some type of veggie.

Then, I will save the bone because my mama is coming next weekend and she'll cook me some potato soup because mine always ends up like mashed potatoes!!! :irked:

[Nekochanpurr]

today was a mac and cheese day...

[kiddienurse601]

We had Morningstar black bean and corn "burgers". YUM!

[Parhelion]

Shrimp and sausage gumbo. A real challenge given that my FH's dad is full-blooded Cajun...and makes a mean gumbo. So far so good...but ack! Big shoes to fill!

[WebLady]

I made a taco ring tonight.

[KMS]

Can't go grocery shopping until Wednesday! :snide: Nooo groceries. I made some whole wheat pasta and tossed it with a sauce that I made with a few cloves of sauteed garlic, wine, nutritional yeast, crushed red pepper, hemp nuts, and parsley. Realllly good though.

[kiddienurse601]

I made a taco ring tonight.
What is a taco ring? Btw, I had another Morningstar veggie "burger" for dinner before I came to work.

[KMS]

What is a taco ring?

I was gonna ask the same thing!! :grinhappy:

Although I don't make mine exactly like the recipe and mine doesn't exactly look like this one either ;)

[KMS]

Cool! Ya learn something new everyday! :D

[Nekochanpurr]

Made chicken stir fry last night.. Didn't have any white rice, though! Though it all worked out.. Just grabbed some ranch.. Hehe. We had extra broccoli!

[WebLady]

I think I am gonna try to do roast turkey and mash potatoes and green beans tonight. I have been jones'in for some "thanksgiving" ;)

[TangoWedding]

YUM! Thanksgiving is my favorite!! I might have to do that, too. Though...after we get back from the honeymoon. :grinhappy:


Last night for dinner we had chips and salsa. :ooh: Lazy wife-to-be strikes again!

[Nikita706]

This weekend, we set up our son's playset and asked a few of FH's friends if they could come over and help. We had a big bbq with hamburgers, hot dogs, seasoned potato wedges, homemade mac-n-cheese and salad w/Raspberry Vinaigrette. We also had Bloody Marys (Me and one of FH's friends are going through a seriously ridiculous Bloody Mary phase right now) and Henry Weinhards Beer. Then we built a big bonfire in the front yard and toasted marshmallows and listened to music. Good times.

[70707Bride]

I don't know what I'm going to have. I might go out to my parents' house. Chris won't get off work until 9 tonight :( and then has an hour drive home. I hate those days when he works and I have the day off...I get so bored.

[Hope75]

Tonight it's a 4 lb roast beef with mashed potatoes, green beans, and rice.

FI to pick up desert. Yum!:D

[RosieAngel]

Black beans and brown rice with a red bell pepper and some peas and corn mixed in! It's seasoned with chili pepper, cumin, and cayenne, with a couple tablespoons of colby jack grated in!

[KMS]

I made some fried rice for lunch and I'll be eating the left overs for dinner too. I took some brown rice and tossed it with reduced sodium soy sauce, Sriracha, toasted sesame oil, nutritional yeast, and tons of fresh sauteed veggies.

[kgvettegirl]

I begged RC to make his killer chicken stir fry tonight. I made promises of a sexual nature to get it. Yes, its that good.:D :bbredface: :D

[WebLady]

LOL ;)

Well our turkey was good, so I guess we will be having leftovers tomorrow :grinhappy:

[MrsDM]

I made a batch of hot wings! They are so good, but soo putsy!

[Nekochanpurr]

Made boca burgers and sweet potato fries! Mmm frozen, lol. Boca was a LOT better than the last brand.. Then again, i smothered it with mesquite sauce.. But not too bad. Steve, not so much.. But he did like the fries! :D

Next time you try some get Morningstar Farms Grillers Prime. They taste so much like the real thing that sometimes they're just a little too "real" for me! :grinhappy:

:bbeek::rofl:

[kiddienurse601]

My vegetarian glory of the past few days went down the drain tonight =(
I had chicken fingers and sweet potato fries. But I am having a black bean "burger" from a local restaurant for my midnight meal. (I work night shift)

[Nekochanpurr]

Thats pretty funny! I sell a LOT of morning star.. But omg are they expensive! Maybe if they go on super sale i will try it.. <3 thanks for the heads up! I am trying to eat healthier and bring down my weight..

I'm a sucker for anything in a patty or stick form. It's probably because I like to think that it's perfectly okay to slather it in ketchup. Ketchup, it's my addiction. :ooh:

[WebLady]

We had turkey pesto panini's last night :)

Tonight I think chicken something.

[Nikita706]

Last night, we had BLT Pizza from Big Louies. Has anyone ever had a BLT pizza? It's SOOOOO good! You make a regular cheese pizza with bacon on it, then once it's done, you slather it with Mayo, then top it with shredded lettuce and tomatoes. It sounds strange, but it's delectable.

[Nekochanpurr]

We are having salmon with butter and garlic noodles and hopefully some squash..

[stephw98]

Last night we had for dinner homemade mashed potatoes. The specialty of this dinner was these are grown and cooked from my own Garden Veggies. I have even tried this before this roast for a dinner party last month and it was a hit. It was so flavorful and was very simple to make. Be sure you brown it well!

[Nikita706]

We had Bruschetta. I found a recipe in a Taste of Home magazine a few years back that I altered. I'm not sure what 'genuine' Bruschetta is supposed to taste like, but FH and I LOVE our version.

Bruschetta, Nikita Style

1 French Baguette, sliced in 1' slices
Olive Oil
4 tomatoes
~1/4 c. Red Wine Vinegar
~1/2 tbsp. Dried Basil
~1 tsp. Dried Parsley
~1 tsp. Minced Garlic
~1/2 c. Feta Cheese

drizzle olive oil on baguette slices and toast in the oven at 400 degrees for ~10 minutes. Meanwhile, dice tomatoes to 1/2"-1" chunks. Combine in a bowl with remaining ingredients. Top baguettes with tomato mixture and enjoy!

It's fast, it's healthy, it's super simple and there's TONS of room for improvisation (which is how we ended up with this recipe in the first place). For instance, I LOVE Basil, so I use a ton. If you love garlic, you can add more. Just make it to taste.

Also, we rarely ever use baguettes and rather opt for hamburger buns. The baguettes are too hard when they're toasted and my mouth always hurts after eating them that way. (plus, we always have hamburger buns on hand)

[70707Bride]

Last night I just had a ham sandwich...plain...

[Whitewater]

Last night Fiance was having a really rough time, so I made him a favorite of his -- roast pork and mashed potatoes. The recipe for the potatoes is called "Heart Attack Potatoes' because it calls for butter AND milk AND sour cream. :) But it was a treat, we don't have them routinely, or even often.

Despite the fact that I was cooking with a headache that was threatening to turn into a migraine, the meal came out even more delicious than I had anticipated!

Sometimes the simple recipes are the best. The pork loin was dry roasted in high (425') heat, with a very little garlic and butter, the potatoes were boiled, then made with all natural, no preservatives/wierd flavors milk, sour cream and butter, and it was SO GOOD. I didn't use herbs, or salt or any 'flavor packs', just let the cooking speak for itself.

Wish I could make it again, but not with this health-conscious family :) Tonight we'll probably have salmon and veggies.

[Nekochanpurr]

Who knows what we are having tonight.. People are hanging again, so out somewhere.. :D

[Dani]

We had tomato sandwiches. Is that just a southern thing or does everyone do that? And now i'm having peanut butter out of the jar , i want to stop, but i can't lol.


I LOVE tomato sandwiches! I slice them up and put them on wonder bread with old style sauce....YUMMMM!

[WebLady]

We ordered pizza tonight; ham and pineapple thin crust from Domino's :D

Tomorrow I will have to cook something, not sure what yet.

[KMS]

You have good pizza taste, girl! ;) Ham and pineapple is a winner. No matter what veggies are on our pizza you can bet there's gonna be some pineapple thrown on there somewhere too.

[Nekochanpurr]

Its fend for yourself night here.. I got off work too late to make anything, because Steve goes in soon.. =/

[70707Bride]

We went out to eat yesterday. I had cod fillets with a baked potato. Chris had chicken alfredo.

[WebLady]

Last night was burgers on the grill.

Tonight I think it will be grill chicken (George Foreman grill this time) with cheese and then baked potatoes and broccoli :grinhappy:

[KMS]

I'm gonna make chickpea cutlets. It's pretty much mashed chickpeas kneaded w/ wheat gluten & spices to make a chicken cutlet type of patty. I'm also making some smashed red potatoes w/ portabello gravy and steamed broccoli w/ garlic chips.

[KMS]

I made some really good gravy tonight. It's my go to gravy recipe now. It's easy, lump free, and it's lower in fat than other gravy recipes. It's a vegan recipe, but can easily be substituted with whatever products you have on hand such as using dairy instead of soy milk, etc.

Mushroom Gravy

3 cups vegetable broth
2 Tbs arrowroot powder
1/4 cup flour
1 Tbs olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups mushrooms (such as portobello), thinly sliced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
a few grinds black pepper
1/2 cup white wine
3 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 cup plain soy milk

In a small bowl whisk the arrowroot and flour into the vegetable broth until dissolved. Set aside.

In a medium sauce pan saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the white wine and turn the heat up high to bring to a boil for 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and the broth/arrowroot mixture. Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the nutritional yeast and whisk until dissolved. Add the soy milk and whisk for another minute or so. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

The whole recipe has -

I made turkey medallions with some steamed broccoli and califlower, and i also made a salad. That seriously was the best salad ever. We are finishing it off tomorrow. :D I think it'll be lunch and dinner.. But i have turkey wrapped in bacon kabob thingys to go with it. =3 Yay manager specials! lol. I like trying stuff!

[WebLady]

I need to go to the store again ... just looking in the cabinets I noticed we have lots of pasta, so we will have some sort of pasta tonight.

I am thinking something with beef, but hubby and I are sort of burnt out on spaghetti type stuff. So maybe I will make some nacho pasta tonight :grinhappy:

[Nikita706]

My parents invited us over for dinner last night and we had Soyaki marinated cod fillets on the grill wrapped in bacon. We also had rice pilaf and steamed cauliflower. YUM!

[70707Bride]

Chris is working again tonight. I'm going out to my parents house and hopefully there's something to eat. Hehe.

[KMS]

We eat so late sometimes! :snide: We just had Black-eyed Pea & Quinoa Croquettes, mashed potatoes w/ mushroom gravy, & steamed spinach w/ hemp nuts. Mmm Mmm Good!

[Nikita706]

I made more Bruscetta.

Tonight, my Mom invited us over and me and her are going to make some homemade lasagna! Yumsville!!! :D

[WebLady]

Well DH came home late last night so I didn't cook. He will be home late tonight too, so I don't know if I will cook or not.

I probably should so I don't have to eat something bad out and spend any extra money. Plus he will still need a lunch for tomorrow. So maybe I will make the nacho pasta I had planned for yesterday.

[MrsDM]

Last night, we had Texas Roadhouse and a Dairy Queen Oreo Blizzard cake for my birthday!

Tonight, probably pizza or something easy.

[lize566]

Last night we had KFC-I was craving chicken wings, so it was okay but I would have prefered BW3. Tonight I am cooking b/c I haven't cooked in for-ever!! We are having pork tenderloin, sweet potatoes, crescent rolls, and green beans (or some sort of vegetable). Sounds yummy!

[Dani]

We are going out for chinese tonight....it's been a while....I can't wait!

[KMS]

We have leftover plain whole wheat pasta in the fridge so I'll probably make some type of tomato sauce for it. I'm also making some collard greens sauteed with onions, garlic, and lots of red pepper flakes.

[Nekochanpurr]

We had Japanese tonight.. i had Salmon Terriyaki. :D Then we went to the Korean market down the mall center thing and i got some botan rice candy. <3

[tawni8806]

I had Three Cheese hamburger helper last night. Haha, Easy but oh, so good. Tonight, I am thinking about making taco's.

[sweetvenus]

I made a new baked spaghetti recipe last night. It was pretty good, although I think next time I'll use more sauce and more cheese.

[Nikita706]

I haven't thought about dinner yet, but I know I'm getting a Homestyle Chicket Sandwich from Wendy's for lunch (complete with baked potato, lol).

[Nekochanpurr]

Who knows... Lol! My sis got a gift card that the lady she babysits for found for max and ermas? i think. Anyway, if its got enough on it, we are going there for dinner! lol

[WebLady]

We had chicken quesadillas last night.

Tonight I am making "party chicken" *hehe* I got the recipe from the grocery store sample lady last night. It is basically baked chicken coated in seasoned bread crumbs and cheese.

[RebelChick]

Last night I made my Dads Garlic, Ground Sausage, Spinach and Pasta Dish. YUMMY and tonight Im makign Chicken Alfredo!

[KMS]

Last night I met a friend at a juice bar because she is doing a juice fast right now. I got a fresh pressed apple mint juice. It was so yummy and refreshing. When I got home I had some roasted green beans w/ olive oil and half of a Tofurky sandwich on Ezekiel sprouted bread. We have a loaf of the sesame Ezekiel bread right now and it's so good toasted because of the sesame seeds on the crust.

Tonight we'll probably use Chad's manager card to eat a Pappa's resaurant - probably mexican food.

[Nekochanpurr]

MMm.. free food from Max and Erma's. Thanks Dani! I had a Chicken mozzarella sandwich, which had tomato and basil on it.. With some tomato soup on the side. It was freaking awesome! :D

[WebLady]

Last night I made my Dads Garlic, Ground Sausage, Spinach and Pasta Dish. YUMMY!
Sounds good; is it a secret family recipe or can you share?

Last night DH came home late and didn't eat dinner with me, so I am morphing leftovers into a new meal tonight. It will be some sort of chicken and rice and gravy thing; I also made that sweet chilled broccoli salad that was in the OW Recipe eBook :)

[Parhelion]

Too hot here to cook anything in the oven...so I have a pot roast with potatoes and onions cooking in the crock pot. By the time FH comes home it'll be nice and tender...and right now it's stinking up the apartment...in a GOOD way. :)

[RebelChick]

Sounds good; is it a secret family recipe or can you share? :)

1lb ground sweet italian sausage (or you can take it out of the casing in links)
1 package Frozen chopped Spinach

3 tablespoons minced Garlic.
salt, pepper, and Garlic Powder to taste
Optional Parmesan cheese to top.

In large pot begin boiling water for pasta.. cook as directed and put aside.
In a large Deep skillet pan, cook ground sausage with the Minced Garlic. Add Frozen chopped Spinach and Olive Oil. Heat until the spinach cooks down, and defrosts. Stirring frequently. Add salt pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
Mix with Cooked Bowtie pasta in a large serving bowl. My family and I like to put Parmesan cheese on top of our servings . ENJOY :)

[MrsDM]

[Nikita706]

Friday I went out to dinner with a friend to a place called 'The Sushi Spot'. It was delicious.

Saturday, we had Taco Bell.

Sunday, we went to FH's Dad's house for a BBQ. Slow cooked bbq chicken burgers, green beans, sliced potatoes and outrageously spicy jalapeno cornbread. All of it was delicious.

[KMS]

outrageously spicy jalapeno cornbread

Oh, that sounds so good! I'm gonna have to make some bean chili and cornbread soon!

[Nikita706]

Oh, that sounds so good! I'm gonna have to make some bean chili and cornbread soon!

Yeah, it burned my mouth. I had no idea it was spicy (the giant jalapenos weren't enough of a clue to me, apparently, lol), so I took this honkin' bite, then panicked and chugged FH's glass of champagne, lol.

[Nekochanpurr]

I'm making a roast tonight. :D Yay crock pots!

[70707Bride]

Last night I made 2 boxes of Lasagna Hamburger Helper...2 of Chris' friends were there. Lol. Not sure what I'm eating tonight, Chris works most nights, I hate that. So I might go to my mom's again.

[KMS]

I made some lentils, carrots, spinach, onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and garlic in a curry coconut sauce. Served over quinoa and with a side of roasted green beans. It's very filling. Now I'm stuffed, overly so. :snide:

[WebLady]

Last night FH grilled some hot dogs cause I didn't feel like cooking.

I will try to make dinner tonight; maybe tacos or something.

[Nekochanpurr]

I think sis and i might go out for some free food tonight.. Yay free ticket coupons for your bday! HEHE.

[KMS]

Last night was simple. I made steamed broccoli, roasted asparagus, and spinach/mushrooms. I cooked the spinach and mushrooms with olive oil, soy milk, and nutritional yeast to make a low fat creamed spinach.

Tonight is leftovers from take out I got for lunch - falafel, pita, tabbouleh, hummus, baba ganoush, and salad. I just looked up how many calories are in pita bread and it's wayyy more than I thought. :snide: Sigh.

mmm...baba ganoush...

I'll probably do something easy with whatever we have at the house. Maybe I'll do tacos or spaghetti or something super easy...with Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie ice cream for dessert, of course. :bbredface:

There's been a little voice in the back of my head all day saying, "Get Rice Dream (rice milk ice cream) at the grocery store tonight." I haven't decided if I'm going to listen to that voice yet. ;) But that chocolate caramel chai flavor is calling my name...

I would highly recommend listening to that voice. And Chocolate Caramel Chai ice cream sounds like heaven in a bowl, if you ask me...

Oh it is! And only for 150 calories for 1/2 cup. :grinhappy: Hehe

[Nikita706]

Oh it is! And only for 150 calories for 1/2 cup. :grinhappy: Hehe

Oh man...I can't stop myself once I start. I eat about a half pint of B&J every night, which is about 250 calories...It's my absolute guilty pleasure.

[WebLady]

Even though I still feel pretty crappy, I managed to make mexican lasagna tonight.

[Nekochanpurr]

I went on a date with my friend (and BM) rachie. I had a coupon for a free appetizer at TGI Friday's... Well, we got that, and some soup, and a meal which we split. They split it FOR us! How freaking nice is that? Anyway, it was super yummy and fun!

[Going2BeMrsEshraghi]

We were too tired to cook tonight. He microwaved himself some Bean and Cheese burritos, while I had those Spinach, Artichoke and Chicken Lean Pockets.

Totally delicious, but we were just too tired to actually cook.

[vannadear]

Last night I had Butterbean soup and all natural sourdough bread :3 delish! My grandma made it though so I have no recipe's to share :(

[Nikita706]

I was lazy again last night and made rotini with marinara, tomatoes and broccoli mixed in.

[WebLady]

I think I am gonna make spicy chicken alfredo tonight.

[KMS]

We're having leftover Mexican food from lunch. I'm gonna make some steamed or grilled veggies to go along with it. I think I'm gonna juice tonight too. I'm in the mood for a glass of goodness. :grinhappy:

[Hope75]

Making a roast pork tenderloin with rosemary, olive oil and garlic, and mashed potatoes (from scratch!) and asparagus.

Most of the week we do quick and easy stuff ( I work many evenings) so about once a week when I have the time I'll make something really yummy! ( and then there'll be leftovers!)

[Parhelion]

Chicken parmesan and angel hair pasta...as soon as the dishwasher is finished running.

[Nekochanpurr]

Went to Olga's tonight with mom and some friends.. :D

[WebLady]

I think I am making Salisbury Steak and mashed potatoes tonight :grinhappy:

[Tericia]

Tonight it's baked chicken, scalloped potatoes, and green beans.

[KMS]

Tonight we ordered Chinese and it should be getting here any minute. :D

- veggie eggrolls
- steamed veggie & tofu dumplings
- Sesame "chicken"

Yum! I ate light today so I could splurge at dinner! We also made some kale & apple juice today and we'll probably drink that with dinner for a little veggie boost.

[Nekochanpurr]

Red Robin tonight. Had a free burger. :D

[WebLady]

We grilled steak and shrimp and corn on the cob :D

[GuardianAngel]

Tonight I made Mexican Chicken. It's a Weight Watchers recipe.
Basically skineless boneless chicken with 1 packet taco seasoning in the place of bread crumbs then you bake it at 350 until done then put salsa and non fat sour cream.. It's really good :)

[Nekochanpurr]

I made grilled ham and cheese.. Then put a sunny side up egg in it! So yummy!

[sweetvenus]

We had BBQ chicken, corn, and cheese biscuits for dinner last night.

[KMS]

I was filling totally lazy tonight so I baked an Amy's frozen bean & rice burrito. I also made some carrot/apple/spinach/tomato juice. We have some blueberries that I'll probably snack on later.

[WebLady]

I was feeling lazy too, so I just made a frozen pizza. I got a buy one get one free deal on a new brand that we have never tried before; I was disappointed :gurn:

[sweetvenus]

Spaghettios for me tonight!

[Nekochanpurr]

Noodles and Company for me.. Yay free birthday foods~

[Nikita706]

I made Pizza Burgers again! They were sooo good. We'll probably have them again tonight.

[Dani]

Lat night we went out, I had country fried steak, potatoes and corn. DH had a salad! lol

Tonight I want to cook outside, we just bought a new grill.

[kgvettegirl]

Since RC is away from home for a week I'm eating salmon! Grilled with Garlic, rosemary, dill and cayenne pepper. I just hope I can get the grill cleaned up and not smelling like fish before he gets back.

[BnB]

Mrs. Ketchup, um, I mean Keely, KMS,

did you try the new chips in a snack bag, they have them in our vending machines at work, and Kurt can't stay away from them,

they're made by Burger King, and they called ketchup fries, I think, omg,
he made me taste them yesterday, they taste exactly like Burger Kings fries with ketchup

made my reflux act up, but were super yummy

thought of you when I kept reading how you love ketchup:D

[WebLady]

I am thinking we will have chicken quesadillas tonight.

[Jacobs_Girl]

I'm going to make for the first time Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. Just got the recipe online :D

[SerendipityCrafts]

It's all Greek for me tonight baby!

I am picking up my friend and we are headed to the best greek restaurant around here. :) Can't wait!

[Nekochanpurr]

Steve and i are splitting a steak, and i've got a salad to go with it. :D Maybe some mash potatoes.. They are instant, but idahoian mash potatoes rock!

[sweetvenus]

Little Caesars tonight. We're being lazy.

[EarlyBird]

[KMS]

We made tex-mex tonight - flour and corn tortillas, guacamole, pineapple pico de gallo, spicy refried beans, and grilled squash. We also grabbed some fresh carrot/orange juice from Central Market.

[Nikita706]

Leftover pizza burgers and seasoned potato wedges (I had a long night of dishes ahead of me, so I made something quick and easy)...

As for tonight, I'm not sure what we'll do. Maybe I'll make this new pasta dish I've been wanting to try. Very simplistic, just Penne pasta, diced tomatoes, fresh basil and other spices to liven it up a bit...I love fresh garden flavors.

One of my fav pasta dishes is just diced tomatoes, julienned basil, and minced garlic covered in olive oil and marinated in a sunny window for a while. Tossed w/ whole wheat angel hair pasta, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Yum! Simple pasta dishes can be the best! :grinhappy:

[Dani]

We did steaks on the grill, corn and pasta.

[WebLady]

DH brought home salads from Chic fil a cause I didn't feel like cooking and need to go to the store :)

[KMS]

Oh my gosh, since we found this chinese delivery place that has so many veg options that's all Chad wants on his days off. And we don't usually eat Chinese very often! It's usually Vietnamese or Thai if we eat Asian. Anyways, we had -

- eggrolls
- tofu hot & sour soup
- sweet & sour seitan
- steamed broccoli
- brown rice

And we made some strawberry/apple juice and carrot/apple juice.

[70707Bride]

We ordered pizza last night, we've been eating out too much again.

[Nikita706]

We had breakfast for dinner...Hash browns and eggs...

[sugar80]

We had chicken noodle soup and quesadillas :D

[WebLady]

I am making BBQ chicken and mac & cheese tonight :)

[sweetvenus]

FH is working late all this week, so I've been on my own for dinner. It's been mainly Spaghettios, hot dogs, and quesadillas. I can't cook big meals just for myself, lol.

[Nekochanpurr]

Had stuffed cabbage and fruit soup.. O_O it was pretty good! i went over grandma's. XD

She also told me to bring home hamburger soup to feed Steve.. That stuff rocks, too!

[KMS]

Tonight I made a basic white wine tomato sauce and added capers, basil, & spinach. Tossed it with whole wheat penne and steamed some broccoli to eat on the side. The sauce is missing something though. I can't quite put my finger on it. :snide:

I made way too much. I still can't get down this whole cooking for two thing!

[AshAllen]

Hmm..Considering Sunday thru Thursday it's dinner by myself so it's usually mashed potatoes and bbq sauce topped with shredded cheese...Bad, bad, I know. =( On Friday and Saturdays we either have some kind of pasta or chicken, or I fix stew in the crock pot...And this covers every day, every week. =)

[WebLady]

I am thinking of grilling burgers tonight.

I really need some more easy recipes :p

Oh man, that sounds SO GOOD! I would probably add some garlic, cause I LOVE GARLIC! BAM!

[Nekochanpurr]

Turkey medallions, salad, and some garlic mashed potatoes. :D Gotta con my friends into making those cranes somehow! LOL

[WebLady]

Last night I made a frozen pizza for dinner; better than the one eariler in the week ;)

Tonight, we just ate and had sweet pepper chicken sausage with pasta and alfredo sauce.

Tomorrow, I haven't thought about yet.

[KMS]

Oh man, that sounds SO GOOD! I would probably add some garlic, cause I LOVE GARLIC! BAM!

Oh yes...garlic goes in everything around here! The tomato sauce had tons in it, plus onions, green bell pepper, crushed red pepper, and probably other stuff. I get carried away with tomato sauce. It's a blank canvas! :grinhappy:

[KMS]

We celebrated our 6 year dating anniversary on Friday. We had a gift card for what used to be one of our favorite restaurants. We hadn't been since going veg and were surprised that we still had a few good choices. Of coarse we had to customize our meal, but it was wonderful!

I had...

--corn/apple/wonton chips w/ salsa (complimetary mix of chips. The best anywhere! They have a sweet & spicy seasoning on them)
--roasted poblano topped w/ hominy, mushrooms, onions, tomato sauce, & black eyed peas
--refried beans & rice
--a huge rum drink, on the rocks

Last night I grabbed a ready made veg meal at Whole Foods because it caught my eye and I couldn't leave the store without it. :grinhappy: I saved half for Chad. I'm nice like that. :winktongue:

hazelnut field roast pattie (dunno what the heck it was but man on man it was heavenly)
sauteed green beans w/ toasted almonds
sauteed broccoli w/ sundried tomatoes

I dunno what tonight is gonna be yet. Is it already nearly 6 pm here? Wow, ya gotta be kidding me! I started out the day making cupcakes so I ended up taste testing a bunch of icing and ganache. It made me feel like crud. I ate leftover Greek for lunch and now I'm drinking some carrot/apple/lemon/ginger juice in hopes that I'll feel better soon.

[MrsDM]

We had chicken enchilatas! So good and left overs for the week!:D

[Dani]

Today was Spagetti Sunday.

[Parhelion]

Tonight was a nice change from the usual. My FH and I went over to his parents' place, where I put together some shish kebobs with pearl onions, grape tomatoes (grown organic in-state, so no salmonella!), green peppers, and pork cubes marinated in tamari (dark soy sauce), red wine, and cayenne pepper sauce. Apparently this impressed the heck out of my FFIL, who ate three skewers.

My FMIL made some awesome potato salad to go along with it, and my FFIL also BBQed some country ribs (his ribs are to DIE for), so we had quite the feast.

Ended with my version of "Better Than Sex Cake"--yellow cake with several holes poked in it, soaked in caramel sauce and topped with whipped cream and crushed Skor bars.

All in all a wonderful dinner.

[KMS]

I had leftovers for dinner - 3 steamed tofu veggie dumplings, 1/4 head of cabbage steamed w/ earth balance & hemp nuts, and half piece pita w/ some hummus. I plan on cooking dinner tomorrow. Probably some kind of bean dish.

[70707Bride]

Not sure what I'll eat tonight, I work until 10:30 or 11 again.

[vannadear]

Tonight a bunch of work buddies (and My guy too, yay he can meet everyone!) and I are going out to Mexican Fiesta II. I'm going to get what I always get-Bean & cheese burritos smothered under a mountain of cheese with hot tortilla chips & spicy salsa Mmmmm I'm so excited it's been my favorite mexican restaurant since I was 7

[Nekochanpurr]

I'm making Seared Chicken and Sweet and Spicy Lentils. It should be interesting... I've never had lentils, and its got mangoes and stuff in it. =3

[WebLady]

I am gonna make this spaghetti like casserole thing. It is jar sauce with red wine, a little brown sugar and lots of cheese; and of course pasta :grinhappy:

[lizardbnorton]

Tonight we're cooking for the first time at our new apt!!! :) Robert is making Spaghetti. His dad makes an awesome spaghetti. We've been eating canned soup and salad or eating out for the week or so that we were there.

[KMS]

I'm making Seared Chicken and Sweet and Spicy Lentils. It should be interesting... I've never had lentils, and its got mangoes and stuff in it. =3

Hope you like the lentils! They're one of my favorite things. They don't have too much flavor on their own. It really just depends on what you cook them with. Sweet and spicy lentils sound delish! :grinhappy:

[Tericia]

We had a catfish dinner tonight.

[Nekochanpurr]

Hope you like the lentils! They're one of my favorite things. They don't have too much flavor on their own. It really just depends on what you cook them with. Sweet and spicy lentils sound delish! :grinhappy:

We put mango and curry powder in them.. But that didn't help much. =P The texture was kind of yucky.. i think we had to make them mushier..

[KMS]

Yeah, there are many types of lentils and some of them get very mushy when cooked and turn into a thick soup and some stay firm like little tiny beans. Some are in between the two textures. Better luck next time! :grinhappy:

---------

I had a strange combination of food for dinner! I tossed together some brown rice w/ a sliced zucchini, garlic, nutritional yeast, & a dash of soy sauce, hot sauce, and rice vinegar. I also had some mashed potatoes mixed w/ nutritional yeast and a bunch of spinach. Very random!

[sweetvenus]

Tonight, I had, um....cookies.

[Dani]

Tonight, I had, um....cookies.


I have had those dinners before. :)

[WebLady]

We had chicken divan and rice for dinner tonight :)

[Dani]

We went out for dinner, I had sirlon kabobs over rice...yummy!

[Nekochanpurr]

Taco bell.. It was not a cooking night for us..

[KMS]

Tried a new recipe tonight; didn't like it. :ooh: I had creamy spinach, grilled zucchini, guacamole, corn tortillas, and a kiwi.

[vannadear]

I was so hungry after getting out of my class at 10 last night that I went in the drive through at Burger King and got a small Strawberry shake, french fry and a BK Veggie Burger...it was delish!

[Nekochanpurr]

I didn't know BK had veggie burgers! I learned something! lol

[vannadear]

Speaking of learning something...I just learned that what I ate for dinner last night was 1,010 calories :bbeek:

[WebLady]

We have beef and cheese burritos :)

[Dani]

I had a chicken ranch sandwich...was pretty good too!

[Nekochanpurr]

We had noodles and company...

[Nikita706]

BRUSCHETTA!!!

It was SO GOOD too...

[WebLady]

We may just have pizza tonight.

[kgvettegirl]

RC called and he is having a horrible day at work today so I decided to go all out tonight for dinner. Boiled red potatoes with fresh Parmesan cheese and Italian seasonings, and Beef Stuffed Peppers.

4 large sweet green, red or yellow peppers
Stuffing
1 tbs olive oil
1 small yellow onion chopped (1/2) cup
1 stalk celery, chopped (1/2) cup
1 clove garlic, minced
8 ounces each lean ground beef and ground pork
1 cup cooked and drained brown or white rice
1 cup canned low-sodium, crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons minced parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
pinch ground red pepper (cayenne)

Tomato Sauce
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups canned low-sodium, crushed tomatoes
1/8 teaspoon each salt and black pepper

1. Half-fill a large saucepan with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Trim the top 1/2 off of each sweet pepper; remove the seeds and ribs, being careful not to cup through the bottoms. Slide the peppers into the boiling water and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain upside down.
2. To prepare the stuffing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; lightly grease an 8 inch round baking dish. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and saute for 5 minutes or until tender. Add the beef and pork and cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes or until no longer pink. Stir in the remaining stuffing ingredients.
3. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Spoon this mixture into the sweet peppers, and stand them upright in the baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes or until tender.
4. To prepare the tomato sauce: In a medium-size saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and garlic; saute for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the flavors are blended, then spoon over the peppers. Makes 4 servings

[Nekochanpurr]

Making spaghetti tonight!

[WebLady]

I think we are gonna do grilled steak and shrimp :)

[Nikita706]

Oh my golly! I just went to a local brewery for lunch and had THE MOST amazing Mediterranean Pasta! It was tomatoes, olives, feta, artichoke hearts, sauteed spinach and garlic and grilled chicken breast over linguine tossed with a light wine sauce. It was SO GOOD!!! :tongue:

[KMS]

We may just have pizza tonight.

We had pizza last night too. We had a gift card for Macaroni Grill and used it to get a pizza to go so we could run home and watch Fear Itself. It was so disappointing. :bbcry: I've actually never had a pizza so tasteless. I've had many very tasty cheeseless pizzas, but all of the veggies on this one were practically raw. Eh, booo.

Oh, bummer! I usually love going to Macaroni Grill when we go down south!

[KMS]

Oh, bummer! I usually love going to Macaroni Grill when we go down south!

That used to be one of my favorite places so I don't know if my tastes have changed (haven't been to one in years) or if they just aren't as good as they used to be. Even the bread, which I used to looove, didn't do it for me. Yes, bummer!

[Dani]

It must have been pizza night for just about everyone last night! That is what we had as well.

Tonight I had a sloppy joe. Yum!

[KMS]

Thankfully tonight's dinner was a hundred times better than last night's dinner. My friend and I went to an Asian buffet that is 100% Vegetarian, 95% Vegan and I ate a lot of super yummy veggie, rice, and mock meat dishes. It was great...I was amazed! They even have a reverse osmosis system for the whole restaurant which makes it even more awesome. Yum. :grinhappy:

[WebLady]

We are just gonna have leftovers from last night for dinner tonight :p

[Dani]

I believe we are going out for chinese tonight. We usually split a meal, general chicken. We also get soup, him chicken rice and I get won ton and an egg roll. YUM

[neebelung]

FH is coaching this weekend (and it's a double class) so he might not get home till 8:00 or so. So I've got some chicken breasts marinating in kind of an Asian concoction I made, and I'll steam some veggies and make some saffron rice to go with it.

[Dani]

Well, we didn't end up going for Chinese, we went to Applebee's and had hamburgers. They were so good!

[Dani]

Tonight we grilled out, we made shish-kabobs with steak and chicken, onion green and red pepper along with zuchinni and rice pilaf.

[WebLady]

We had chicken quesadillas and I made chocolate chip cookies for dessert :p

[KMS]

Lunch leftovers for dinner - whole wheat pasta, broccoli, & mushrooms in a curry yogurt sauce. I took an Indian cooking class yesterday so I just had to throw some curry in it! :grinhappy:

[Whitewater]

Today we're having semi-homemade meaty spaghetti and noodles. Tomorrow, probably chicken. Yesterday we had sauteed rosemary chicken over chicken garlic rice and the day before, baked teriyaki pork chops in the toaster oven (thanks to a grease fire in the new-to-us oven!).

Tomorrow, if we get the stove cleaned, we'll have chicken something or other.


Whitewater

[WBandMe]

Tonight I'm making deviled eggs, a salad, grilled vegetables and grilled barbeque chicken with cupcakes for dessert! I'm pretty excited.. the vegetables have green pepper, green onion, grape tomato, and red potatoes and we're also making some asparagus separately. Yay!

[mj512]

We had chicken Ceasar (sp?) salad for dinner, and then we went down to the local carnival and I had a funnel cake :)

[WebLady]

We went to Taco Bell for dinner (got 2 Pepsi points; need 3 more for a song download ;)); we had to take my car back to the shop.

[Hope75]

We got a pizza. Mushrooms, onion and garlic.

You don't want to kiss me now!

(luckily, FH ate the same thing!)

[08chrissy08]

Spaghetti! And the obligitory garlic bread, of course.

[KMS]

I picked up some hazelnut field roast patties from Whole Foods. I can't get enough of those things, but they're expensive. :snide: They kinda taste like a chicken patty coated in breadcrumbs, herbs, & hazelnuts. I also made some steamed green beans and quinoa. I eat quinoa every once in a while, but I found a new tasty and easy recipe so I think we'll be making it more often now.

SPICY LEMON QUINOA

2 cups quinoa
Coarse salt
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Place quinoa in a fine mesh sieve. Rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to a medium saucepan, add 1 teaspoon salt and 2 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook until water is completely absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes.
Transfer quinoa to a medium bowl along with pine nuts, lemon zest, parsley, cumin, cayenne; drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss until well combined. Serve warm or at room temperature
I pretty much followed the directions, but just used different nuts and cilantro instead of parsley because that's what I had on hand. Yum!

[GuardianAngel]

Tonight we had turkey sloppy joes.. Tomorrow is turkey tacos!! :)

[KMS]

Tonight we had turkey sloppy joes.. Tomorrow is turkey tacos!! :)

Hey, I almost made veggie sloppy joes tonight! Small world. :grinhappy:

[EarlyBird]

tonight was farafell pasta with alfredo sauce and spinach in it. and tomorrow is polish kelbasa with yellow jambalya rice.

[Whitewater]

I was wrong! Tonight we're having roasted pork chops and mashed potatoes (because tonight is the last night Fiance has to work his second job for almost a week! He doesn't have to go back there until Sunday! And he loves mashed potatoes, so he gets some as a celebration)

Whitewater

[WebLady]

Chicken pesto paninis for us :)

[fireprincess2009]

Chicken Sausage link without a bun - microwaved, Instant Pudding, topped off with a Heineken. I'm so embarrassed. I really can cook. really...

[KMS]

I'm so embarrassed. I really can cook. really...

Hehe. Cute! ;)

[Nekochanpurr]

Went over grandma's. :D Had veggie soup with a salad and salmon patties.. Yay grandma!

[mj512]

Tonight we are having my homemade sheperds pie :) It is yummy and rather healthy actually, at least because I make it healthy :)

[KMS]

I don't know what I'm making for dinner tonight! I'm sick. :sob: I had been avoiding the cold that was going around by juicing everyday and then I stopped and now I've gotten sick. :snide:

Soup, maybe??

[Nekochanpurr]

I am going to try my hand at making Cream of Sweet Potato soup today.. Wish me luck! lol i'll need it!

[Nikita706]

*drool* that sounds SO GOOD!!!

Cream of anything is easy. Just blend it up and nobody needs to know what the heck ended up in there! ;)

Good luck!

[Nekochanpurr]

Haha, thanks! I'm getting it out of that cancer cook book thing my friend bought me.. I hope its good!! I love Sweet Potatoes! If anyone wants the recipe, i can type it up.

[Nikita706]

Haha, thanks! I'm getting it out of that cancer cook book thing my friend bought me.. I hope its good!! I love Sweet Potatoes! If anyone wants the recipe, i can type it up.

I love Sweet Potatoes too. Our wedding coordinator is doing our rehearsal brunch and she's making these AMAZING Yam muffins. When FH's Mom offered to set up the brunch, I told her okay, as long as I get my Yam Muffins, lol.

[Nekochanpurr]

Yam muffins?! i MUST know!! :D

[Nikita706]

Yam muffins?! i MUST know!! :D

I might have to sneak her recipe...

[Tericia]

I don't have the slightest idea what to fix for dinner today. I think I might have breakfast....Nothing else is appealing to me for some reason.

[WebLady]

We are having beef (well venison) and broccoli with rice.

[KMS]

I didn't do soup. I actually ended up feeling like cooking. I got my Vegetarian Times in the mail and made 2 things from it.

I tried a dip recipe called Muhammara. It's walnuts, roasted red bell pepper, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pomegranate juice all ground up together. I ate it with some toasted pita bread and really enjoyed it! I also made some Chickpea Croquettes. I make something similar often, but this recipe called for sundried tomatoes which added a nice deep flavor. I simply roasted some green beans for a veggie side.

Good stuff!

[Dani]

Well, I have been marinating steaks for about 2 days. So, instead of grilling them tonight (weather was iffy) we went to Chili's, we spilt boneless buffalo wings, he ate a small portion of chicken alfredo, and i had a small salad. Steaks are for another time, they are now in the freezer.
