KathyBC Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I can always use some inspiration. What did you have last night or what are you planning for tomorrow night? We had a great last-minute dinner Sunday: German potato soup, bran-date drop biscuits, and tossed salad. Monday was good, too: Pork roast, homemade applesauce, curly noodles, and coleslaw. Tonight was meh: Stovetop stew and toasted leftover focaccia bread. But I have no idea for tomorrow. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamzanne Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We had my "I'm exhausted" dinner tonight - Pupusas (similar to tamales but El Salvadorian) and black bean soup. With apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily_Grace Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Here's our week's menu: Sunday - herb crusted chicken, chili-ginger pasta, and salad made with fennel, arugula, pear, and pechorino cheese Monday - seared loin steak, french onion soup, mixed wild and long grain rice Tuesday - beef stew (made with the leftover wine from Monday) and whole wheat bread. Wednesday - make your own calzones Thursday - leftover night!! (we're way too busy to cook) Friday - TBD, but looking to be potato soup with baguette sandwiches (ham, smoked provelone, arugula, onion, and tomato, then wrapped in tin foil and baked during soup making) ETA: To be honest, I have a husband who is an amazing cook and loves to do it, so I'm willing to let him. :D I'll do the prep work before he gets home and he takes over the rest. The only time I cook is when we're having Mexican, Chinese, or something in the dutch oven, like the beef stew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tearose Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Last night--leftover spiced couscous with chicken and carrots from Sunday ( http://www.foodnetwo...cipe/index.html ) Pretty quick recipe, and it was one of those "assemble each serving" recipes, where you divided couscous/chicken, carrots, raisin/almond/scallion mixture onto each plate. Turns out, it's just as good if you mix up all the leftovers (to store easily in the fridge), then heat and serve. Tonight: pork chops with mustardy apples and onions ( http://www.dinneralo...-chops-tonight/ ) with leftover rosti potatoes (from our meal at the best Swiss restaurant ever). First course is always a salad of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjzimmer1 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Last night we had pot roast, tonight the kids and hubby will be having chicken quesadillas. I will scrounge up something else for myself. The quesadilla filling is something I pulled out of the freezer and has lots of onions in it. I'm not willing to risk that the onions won't bother the newly arrived son and I want to sleep tonight so I will just eat something else.

Lady Florida. Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Last night we had this black-eyed pea soup. I had leftover black-eyed peas from a previous meal. I cooked the whole bag of peas but didn't use all of them. We don't like collard or mustard greens, so I substituted spinach. I didn't have fresh thyme so I used dried. I also didn't do the bread thing. Dh and ds both loved it. Monday night we had Chili Lime Pork Tenderloin from The Fresh 20. We're going to visit with my niece and her almost 5 yo twins this afternoon and I don't know what time we'll get home. I need something easy, so we're having chili dogs. :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Last night, I marinated flank steak, cut up into bite-size pieces, in honey and soy sauce, added garlic and ginger, and cooked in the crock pot for a long time (5 hours on high/low). It tasted pretty good, so I'll serve it over brown rice, with a salad and green beans. There is a sauce, since I used a lot of honey and soy sauce. I'm cooking chicken thighs in the crockpot now, probably will turn that into chicken soup or chicken and dumplings. I want to eat dumplings, but they are not on my healthy eating plan. Will serve with salad; also will have plenty of carrots in whichever option my willpower decides upon. Also have some boneless chicken breasts that I'll add to the crockpot now, while I'm thinking about it. I'll slice it and make a white wine sauce for it later. Will serve that with salad, broccoli, and roasted, unpeeled, potatoes. I've got banana muffins in the oven now, and will probably serve mini muffins with dinner. DH likes that ... our favorite restaurant (closed long ago) in Atlanta served little muffins with every dinner, and it reminds him of that. That will get me through the next couple of days, probably.

dbmamaz Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 i made hot dogs wrapped in biscuits yesterday, with fresh veggie platter. tonight was supposed to be slow-cooker chicken but i just dont feel like making it. tomorrow was leftover home-made pizza, which i'd already gotten out of the freezer to thaw because i got the days mixed up, so I'll probably swap the two. Tomorrow is even less busy than today - we just need to eat early. friday is chili for grownups and quesidillas for the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yesterday, I made spaghetti sauce in the crockpot before crashing into bed with this nasty cold/sinus thing. I'm assuming DH fed it to the kids. Tonight? Still sick in bed. There's hamburger meat in the fridge, and hopefully DH will come up with something.

Jenny in Florida Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Last night was smothered black bean burritos. Tonight, I'm making twice-baked potatoes and possibly a salad for my husband, who needs to have something easy ready to eat when he gets home from work. My son is taking a couple of the potatoes, along with some soy milk and a piece of fruit on the road with him to eat during his dinner break between dance classes. He is also planning on a second dinner of pasta using the bread and sauce I made today for after he gets home from the studio. My daughter will probably use some of the Italian bread I made today for hummus sandwiches to take for her between-work-and-rehearsal dinner later. I snacked on far too many potato skins while cooking and so will likely just take a snack to eat while I'm waiting for them in the car. If all goes well, at least three of us should be here for dinner tomorrow, and I think I'm making falafel and couscous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
