Onceuponatime Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Something we call Indian chicken, I don't know how Indian it actually is. It is basically chicken stir fried with lots of onions and tomatoes and spices, eaten over rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amira Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Whatever the rest of the family brings home. If I could cook anything, I'd make laghman. If I were really making dinner on a Thursday evening, maybe I'd make kichree and stir-fried garlic chives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Roasted chicken in the dutch oven with rice and frozen mixed veggies tossed in. It will probably have some typically italian herbs, maybe basil and garlic, but I haven't decided. DD6 has swimming so it needs to be an easy night.

sheryl Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 we had baked salmon, cheesy mashed cauliflower, lettuce salad for Wednesday dinner. dh and dd had texas toast and I had a small bite of one. I'm still learning about the low carb/high protein way of eating and still eat carbs, but I know less. tonight i'm seriously planning beef enchiladas. I use a homemade mole sauce - made a large batch and was able to freeze portions. so , I pull my baggie of mole sauce from the freezer and that saves time. this is THE best enchilada recipe if you'd like it, lmk. the tortilla shells are low carb.

amydavis Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I didn't defrost anything, so I have no idea...and it's already 5 o'clock. Dh won't be home until about 8, so we usually wait and eat with him. However, dd17 just made me a pimento cheese sandwich, and I'm wondering if I should just say it was my dinner and let everyone fend for themselves...or better yet, just have dh pick up something on the way home...

Dandelion Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 We're going out to eat at a Mediterranean restaurant. Date night! :) Since you're looking for inspiration, I just looked at their menu online. I think I'm going to have the Chicken with Honey and Almonds (a Moroccan dish). "Tender breast of chicken sautéed in olive oil with garlic, shallots, coriander and almonds finished in chicken stock with lemon, honey, and fresh cilantro."

KungFuPanda Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I just HAD to have the giant salmon from Costco last night, so tonight we're having those leftovers. It'll be scalloped potatoes and spinach salads with chilled, pan-seared salmon on top. Incidentally, I seared it with a honey mustard glaze and it was divine. My anti-fish kid will have more of the rotisserie chicken he ate last night :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked and chose from a couple of you! But I see lots of ideas for the days to come. I hope that this has inspired some of the rest of you.

Jenny in Florida Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I gave in to last-minute pleas for Indian food tonight. I hadn't planned on doing anything complicated, but tonight was the only evening so far this week that all four of us were home to eat together. So, I went for it. We had: - channa masala - curried potatoes - onion chutney - mint chutney - onion bhaji - puri - basmati Because I got such a late start, I did buy the chickpeas canned, but it was from scratch otherwise. Of course, we didn't sit down to eat until 7:30 . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
