Farrar Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Pork stir fry featuring all the bits of vegetables left in the crisper. This is usually a winter dish for us and I hadn't realized how long it had been since we had it until ds literally got teary he was so happy I had made it. Seriously.

TammyinTN Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Tonight we had parmesan crusted chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, corn, bacon wrapped green beans with rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Boring tonight. I made pasta with marinara sauce. My son is in rehearsal until 6:30 every weekday. So, dinners are whatever I can put together quickly and get on the table as soon as possible once we get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You don't want inspiration from me (or maybe you do)----we got takeout from California Tortilla :lol: Dh is out of town for a conference. The girls and I went to the library and then got out takeout. We are now reading books while enjoying out full tummies :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 We'll be having this yummy Taste of Home roast beef recipe, along with potatoes and a salad. I don't make it often but today I was standing along with everyone else in the meat aisle wrestling over what to buy because everything seemed so expensive. Rump roast was the same price per pound as ground round so I went with it. http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/mom-s-roast-beef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 BLTs Sauteed veggie mix Salad Grapes and strawberries In short, a "let me see what I can pull out of the fridge and throw on the table" kind of night. There wasn't a great deal of pre-planning involved. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Chicken fajitas with rice and beans. Everything but the peppers, onions, and tortillas were bits of leftovers from the grilled chicken salads or baked nachos we had earlier this week.

Seasider Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Scavenger dinner here - leftovers! DH is traveling, only one kid is home tonight, and I am trying to wrap up a big project. But tomorrow, grilled chicken, sherried potatoes and a strawberry-pecan-goat cheese-romaine salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We ended up making sandwiches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We scavenged here too. First there was the soccer game that went into overtime... Then the boys had youth group, so grabbed "whatever" and took off prior to seeing the end. Then hubby had a township meeting, so we paused the overtime, looked around, spied canned food (ravioli in this case), heated it up, and in less than 5 minutes, were back watching the game. So... tomorrow we might do a real supper - emphasis on "might" as we're toying with taking the boys out for a "last" restaurant meal together of their choice. Youngest leaves for AZ on Sat. While he's gone middle will leave for the Ivory Coast. When he's back we've got just two days before we leave on our "drop youngest off at college trip." Last night I made chipped beef and gravy & garden peas on the side (a sentimental home meal everyone loves). Tomorrow it will either be another sentimental home choice or a sentimental restaurant choice. For tonight, the game was more important to be honest.

AlmiraGulch Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Everyone was on their own tonight. One had frozen pizza. One had a hotdog. One made a salad. I had cherries, a peach, and some Vermont white cheddar. I have no idea what my husband ate. Sorry....no inspiration from me, I'm thinking....

shukriyya Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 A little pot of icelandic style skyr and several absolutely perfect walnut halves, fresh and 'meaty'. Probably not particularly helpful to your dilemma but that's what's on the menu tonight for moi. Dh and ds are at a lesson and will have a later meal. I haven't decided what but likely shrimp with sauteed vegetables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerileanne99 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I roasted butternut squash halves. Filled them with a mixture of Morningstar veggie crumbles, onion, garlic, and diced mushrooms, and topped with veggie feta and pine nuts before browning the top. So good:) Tomorrow is stir fry as the kid has swimming lessons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anmom Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We had pot roast cooked in the crock pot all day with carrots and potatoes. I made fresh gluten free rolls on the side that turned out fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meena Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Leftover baked ziti. The kids were still hungry so they also had a side of PB & Banana sandwiches. :confused1: I'm not quite sure how those two fit together but they seemed to be content.

chocolatechip Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Mmm. . .So many good ideas to add to the menu! Thanks to everyone. :drool5: We ended up having an easy dinner tonight. Various leftovers from the fridge, watermelon, and blueberry almond smoothies. Sometimes I just feel in a rut; uninspired about food, kwim?

TammyS Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Turkey pot pie, made from leftover turkey meat (when I make a bird and get sick of eating it, I pick the meat and freeze it for pot pie later on) and frozen pie crusts. Luckily, ds 15 is cooking. Last time he made pot pie, I was explaining to him how to make rouix in the pan and he interrupted me and said, "Mom (in exasperated tone)! I know how to make a rouix, geez." :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyS Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Where I live ground meats and roasts have been close to the same price for a long time. Never thought I'd live to see ground beef become a luxury meat. :closedeyes: We'll be having this yummy Taste of Home roast beef recipe, along with potatoes and a salad. I don't make it often but today I was standing along with everyone else in the meat aisle wrestling over what to buy because everything seemed so expensive.
