extendedforecast Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Here we're having chicken breast cooked in salsa, then served over a corn tortilla and topped with salsa, guacamole and mozzarella. What's for dinner at your home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Good question. ;) Chicken, maybe. I'm running on little sleep and have been working on a huge project at my computer all day. I can't find the motivation to plan dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've had a tiring day at the zoo. I just threw some hamburger meat in a pot and made tacos. Quick. Easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 We had rib eyes, mashed potatos, and braised greens with garlic. I lost a bet with my 12yo son and he won - so he picked what was for dinner tonight. I also had to marinate his steak in root beer. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraGB Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well, the meat eaters are having barbequed ribs on a stick (there is something highly masculine about meat on a stick for some reason ;)), corn on the cob and grilled potatoes w/onions and garlic. The rest of us are having a big, fat salad, corn on the cob and grilled potatoes w/onions and garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WistfulRidge Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 DS and DH had spaghetti w/ meat sauce... I haven't been able to eat spaghetti since I was pregnant with DS so I'm sipping away at 8 oz of milk mixed with a scoop of whey protein. DH has to work tonight so after DS goes to bed I'll probably have a snack of asparagus and salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmoe Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Steak, roasted potatoes, and aspargus, if I can get the darn pilot light lit in the stove. If not, I don't know!

BMW Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 One of our family favorites: chicken/potato/spinach tostadas!!! leftover chicken (any pieces... I used leftovers from baked chickens once a week) pulled apart/shredded... about 6 potatoes... diced and cooked... frozen spinach (thawed) Stir all ingredients in large bowl with nearly a cup of mayo or less... just to keep it all moist and stick together... spread on tostada shells, top with hot sauce... YUMM! Everyone gobbles it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimnc Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 We had salisbury steaks with onions and gravy, mashed potatoes, sauteed snow peas and steamed asparagus.

That and bread right out of the oven will be a perfect dinner for any of the busy nights we have coming up this week. I'm at the coffee shop right now, but I'll try to remember it. :D 3 cups chicken stock 4 cups chopped broccoli an onion, chopped dash of garlic powder 1 tsp thyme (It didn't specify, I used dried) 2 bay leaves 4 tbsp butter 4 tbsp flour 1/2 tsp salt pinch of pepper 2 cups milk 2 cups cheddar cheese In a large sauce pan, mix stock, broccoli, onion, garlic powder, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for ten minutes or until vegetables are soft. Remove bay leaves, puree in a blender or food processor, then set aside in a bowl. Melt butter in the same sauce pan and whisk in flour, salt, and pepper until it forms a paste. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add cheese and continue stirring until cheese is completely melted. Add broccoli mixture and continue to cook until blended together. Salt and pepper again to taste. Makes six servings. Okay, that looks right. God bless my decent memory, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 5yo that hates both soup and broccoli said it was the best soup he's ever eaten. He ate a 1 cup serving. My 2yo thought it was cheesy dip and used to to dip his garlic bread in. He ate 1/2 cup.
