tadah Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 This one is super-easy, a pantry meal staple: Jane Brody's Pasta with Chickpea sauce, plus a side of green beans. This is a good pantry pasta sauce. The recipe is here, except that the original recipe calls for two cans of chickpeas (undrained), and a can of diced tomatoes (also undrained). http://www.indiadivine.org/audarya/vegetarian-forum/1140023-chickpea-pasta-sauce.html You puree one can of chickpeas (with the liquid) in the blender. I like a little parmesan on the pasta and sauce. Good luck coming up with something for dinner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Meatballs-super easy: hamburger meat, bread crumbs, onions, parsley, salt and garlic. Bake for 15-20 at 350, boil pasta, make sauce, put all together. Voila. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeBookBread Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 People in Fairfax County don't cook......most nights. Didn't you get the memo?:001_huh: I guess I could order takeout from the local gourmet deli... I ended up with baked Barrimundi (white Australian fish - we get it frozen from Costco and it is GREAT!), rice and a caesar salad.

mysticamethyst Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Tonight is tacos with either red velvet cupcake or snickerdoodle cupcake for dessert. I made both today so it will be one or the other, maybe one of each for me:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraGB Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Tonight I had Caprese Salad and home made bread. I made my family chicken noodle soup (and they had the bread, too ;-) and plums for dessert. Simple, but tasty and filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulfbourne Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 sloppy joes, fried eggplant, and swiss chard. The eggplant and swiss chard are from the garden. The sloppy joes were done in the crock-pot. We are just about to sit down and eat. :001_smile: I started out making fried eggplant and decided to make it into a kind of quick eggplant parm. We'll see how it turns out. I'm looking to make some garlic bread right now to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Turkish meatballs (kofte) stewed in potatoes, tomatoes, water, seasonings. There's a name for the dish, I'm sure, but I don't know it. Turkish style spinach. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Mushroom-Asparagus quiche, marinated cauliflower salad, and a green salad with black olives and mini heirloom tomatoes. Tonight I needed a meal I could prepare ahead of time, so when we got back from ballet, I could have dinner on the table in 10 minutes so we could eat before taking ds to Scouts. Ack! So I made quiche with a potato crust (this is quicker and easier than making pastry crust from scratch, and it's good for people who need to cut back on grains -- you just oil the dish very lightly, then line the bottom and sides with very thin slices of potato, fill with your usual quiche ingredients and bake as usual)... The filling was onions, shallots, garlic, a little bacon (enough that each slice of quiche had about 1/2 a slice -- just enough for flavor), lots of mushrooms, lots of asparagus, and a little swiss and parmesan cheese. I like quiche 'cause you can bake ahead and it's just as good (or better) a few hours later. The marinated cauliflower was a recipe from the current Vegetarian Times (which is a very annoying magazine, but occasionally has good recipes). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadah Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Thank you for this!!!! my kids would love this. I haven't quite figured out the quote-within-a-quote thing, so please bear with me -- this is about the pasta with chickpea sauce recipe. I discovered that some brands of canned chickpeas are better for this recipe than others. The local brand we happened to have in the pantry today weren't that good -- the S&W are better. I suppose starting with dried chickpeas would be better still but I yet to go that extra step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i.love.lucy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Rotisserie chicken (mesquite flavor), fiesta corn and BBQ baked beans. But I had steamed broccoli and a little basmati rice with my chicken. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night because I am going to make what looked like a super easy Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup from Giada deLaurentis. And some tomato/basil burchetta to go with it. Yumm!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Tonight was: leftover potato crust quiche (I used a little diced ham, onion, carrots and garden tomatoes as filling). My husband says this is one of my best dishes. It's so easy and a great way to use up a little of this and a little of that. wild blueberry pancakes with maple syrup turkey sausage orange juice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwenhwyfar Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Son had his fave leftover bbq steak, mashed potatoes, and corn.

Rosie_0801 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Cauliflower soup with chilli flavoured pasta thrown in. I'd make salad if dh was coming home, but the kids aren't old enough to eat it yet, so I won't bother. If you'd asked last night, I'd have had a better answer. Last night was rice and lentils, with a tomato-okra yumminess. I need to find a way to feed okra to the kids though. They seem to find whole pods intimidating. Hey! This stuff is great! It's like a vegan bouillabaisse! The veggie stock and garlic make it taste as though there is fish in there.

Ravin Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I have some chicken thawed that I need to cook. It'll either get salsa dumped on it, or salt, pepper, and rosemary. I'll probably make Rice a Roni to accompany. I'm afraid we're out of vegetables. I need to go to the store, but I'm too tired. I think I'll take a nap before I try and cook. Dinner will be late. I don't think DD will mind, though; she just had a frozen burrito (nuked) for an after school snack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
