Whats for dinner 8...

[patches]

Tonight it's going to be Shrimp Stir-Fry with rice! 

[Tonya]

We had Mac and cheese with hot dogs and spinach on the side! Hit the spot and the girls loved it!!

[patches]

Tonight was Welsh Rarebit with turkey, bacon and tomatoes.  I had pears with Cottage Cheese on the side.  It was wonderful, but will be 100X better when I have some fresh tomatoes from my garden. 

[patches]

Well, I was outside for most of the day and it was great!!!    Actually, I had not given any thought to dinner, but, apparently, my stomach had. ;  Boy, you really gotta love those gas grills.      I put on a potato to bake, then two ears of corn ($$$), and finally threw a Ground Round patty on.  I made a tossed salad (from the bag), then added some cheese, fresh sliced mushrooms, croutons and topped it off with Thousand Island dressing.    Geesh, I can't believe I ever thought I was going to miss all my winter home-cooking when it warmed up.    This was wonderful and all I had to wash was a knife, fork, spoon, plate and salad bowl.  Plus, it's going to get even better when I can add some tomatoes fresh from my garden.   

[Triss]

Tonight we had homemade pizza, but before that we had sushi so not too many of us were really hungry so I think we will be having more pizza's tomorrow as well.

[Penny]

Tonight is chicken, with steamed asparagus and brocolli, with rice as a side dish, and a salad.

[patches]

Tonight, I had Sarah's Chicken Carbonara, garlic breadsticks and salad with Italian dressing and it was wonderful!!!     You should check it out!
It's quick, easy and delicious!!!   

[patches]

Sarah, when my son was leaving, I asked if he really like the Carbonara and he said he loved it, but thought it could use more sauce.    Actually, I felt it was a little dry, but since it was so good I didn't question it, but since he brought it up, now, I have a question.  The package of McCormick's I bought was 1.25 oz. and used 3 Tbls. of butter and one cup of milk, so it really didn't make a lot of sauce.    So do you buy a larger package or what would you suggest? 

[Triss]

Tonight I am making baked chickens, mashed potatoes w/ gravy and corn.  Yummy food and lots of planned leftovers.

[patches]

Wow!!!  I had a real gourmet dinner tonight!     I stopped at Pizza Hut and got their Lunch Special, since the one by school runs it all day!    I had a salad, Supreme personal pan pizza and a drink for under $5.00 and then brought half of the pizza ome.    Well, I didn't feel like coming home and cooking tonight!!!    

[Dianna]

We had Taquitos and a salad for supper tonight. Fast, easy, and yummy...

[landofoz]

Today is our anniversary, so I thought that I would make burritos for dinner.  It's one of Adam's all time favorite foods.  I just need to figure out something special for lunch.  PB&J just doesn't seem appropriate. . .

[Penny]

Tonight is potato and leek soup, and some kind of pasta dish to go with it, just havent decided on that one yet.

[Triss]

Ohhh soup sounds good.  I think Dan is making chicken pot pies for himself and Patrick.  The lil ones are getting chicken patties, green beans and mac n cheese and I am going to make myself some sausage and potato soup.  Kinda one of those crazy leftovers days.

[patches]

Well, I picked up a chicken on sale when I was at the store this morning, so I'm going to make some chicken & dumplings, whole green beans and cramberry sauce.   I can take some to school for lunch tomorrow.   

[patches]

Sorry, I spoke or wrote too soon, I didn't have my Chicken & Dumplings, but I'm not complaining!     The father of one of my hlgh school classmates died, so I went there before the rush when everyone gets off work.  Well, a lot of my other classmates were there and we decided to go out to dinner.  Hey, what the heck, I figured I could freeze the chicken!    We went to Lottawatta Creek, so I had Prime Rib (medium rare), Baked Potato, Creamed Spinach and a Caesar Salad.      

[Tonya]

Last night we had a pork roast, boiled potatoes and cream style corn. Not sure what I am fixing tonight, but I am thinking steak and something....

[patches]

Well, I stayed at school without coming home because of the weather, so I just went over to the cafeteria and got a Philly Cheesesteak, salad, and some fries.  Actually, it was pretty good and much better than I expected.   

[Penny]

Tonight is chicken (thighs) and mashed potatos, with asparagus.

[landofoz]

Tonight is braised balsamic chicken served over rice with super-nasty reviling peas on the side.  I have not made peas since my husband put a whole ton of them on my plate a few months back.  Doesn't it just figure that his favorite veggie is the ONLY veggie on the planet (other than lima beans and chickory or whatever that white acorn looking stuff is) that I will not eat because it is extremely disgusting.   

[patches]

Tonight I fixed baked Talapia with lemon butter sauce, grilled asparagus, baked potato with sour cream and a small salad.

[landofoz]

That talapia sounds really nice, Patches.

Tonight I am fixing for dinner Hot Artichoke and Spinach dip - like what they serve at Applebee's.  I love that dip.  No one has been hungry recently because the weather is starting to bounce off the walls - 80 and sunny one day then 42 and rain the next.  I'm sick of cooking meals that everyone just pushes around their plates!  Adam's brother is also coming over to drop of some stuff, so this will be a good light meal that they can just grab a little at a time.   

[Dianna]

Barbecued pork chops, collard greens, and pasta salad are on our menu for tonight. I love barbecued chops!

[Triss]

YUM, both of you... I would love the recipe for that dip Sarah, it is one of my favs!

We are having baked chicken, potatoes and asparagus.
