Amy from WT Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 OK, it's that time of day again, and I desperately need inspiration. What's on the menu in YOUR house tonight? This will either inspire me, or overwhelm me! Regardless, let me have it! I'm interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne/Ankara Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Not really a recipe, but at the grocery store this morning I stocked up on all sorts of hearty veggies-- beets, bok choy, collard greens, etc. My plan is to throw the greens into a big pot with a bit of oil, and add some nuts, steam the beets, and serve over brown rice. Now what can I call it-- January Stew? hmmmm. And for dessert, clementines and rougalach. Then we'll watch a Cold War video from our history studies, either Fail Safe or Dr. Strangelove... that's tonight's plan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelsior! Academy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade bread on the side. I do cheat and use the bread machine. So even though it's technically homemade it really on takes me 15 minutes prep time. Shhh! Plus I get the added benefit of "homemade" brownie points.

NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 so I have a bottom chuck roast covered with onion soup mix and a can of cream of mushroom soup - all wrapped up in foil and cooking in the oven for 4 hours. I will be making some mashed potatoes, orange glazed carrots and a spinach salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 With the no-cook Barilla pasta sheets, cooked Italian sausage, etc. I make a BIG pan and it lasts at least a couple days (since not everyone here eats it.) May create a dessert, too - or maybe not. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirsmommy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well it was going to be tacos but once again I forgot that it takes a hundred years for meat to defrost up here. I think it may be a pizza night for us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Rice and something. :o I'm not really wanting to think about this, but I'm thinking black beans and rice with a side of cornbread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momee Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Have boiled two chickens today - one recipe is chicken and dumplings for dinner tonight and the other is enchiladas but I think I'd have enough for a chicken pot pie. Love to hear how you do your sauce and veggies for the pie part. I think I'll try biscuits on top? Stephanie - not the Stephanie who replied earlier with the fun picture who says she's from the South, although I am from/live in the South.:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy from WT Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 OK, well, since the family just informed me that they ALL want to eat dinner in 25 minutes, I guess the next question is.....who's going to invite us all over for dinner!!!! I'm so impressed by all of you ladies! And btw, bread in the bread machine TOTALLY counts as homemade bread in my house. I did that earlier this week and was QUITE proud of myself. Hmmm....can waffles count for supper? If they're homemade and not Eggos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie in FL Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Pizza from our favorite local pizza place with a large antipasto salad. Sorry for not inspiring you with anything "wow!" but our church blessed us with meals everyday this week so we can focus on our oldest son and other children, plus my pregnancy. Surprisingly enough, everyone made the same thing every night. I will say that we will not be having meatloaf and mashed potatoes for a while. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hijack-- Which Failsafe are you watching? Loved the live George Clooney version--just a heartbreaking play, isn't it? I'm reading Alas, Babylon right now before I give it to ds (he's doing Sonlight 300), and I just got to the part where they know the whole world has gotten bombed.
