Χά�ων Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I am making http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/salsa-rice-with-black-beans-and-corn-recipe/index.html I plan to include corn chips for DS because I know he will find it fun to eat with chips. We will be eating the fresh asparagus I picked up the other day as well. Yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well I don't always know this early in the day what we'll be having, but today I do. Dh requested fish tacos. He doesn't usually make specific requests for dinner, so when he does I try to make that. I use a combo of two recipes for the fish tacos. I use the marinade from this recipe, then I grill the fish on a broiler pan in the oven; 425f for about 15 min. We flake up the fish, put it in tortillas, then top it with the coleslaw that I got the idea for from this recipe, except I changed it a little. :D I make the dressing with 1/2 cup mayo, ONE chipotle chili, about 1 TBSP of the adobo sauce, and a pinch of salt. Then I add that to about two cups of the coleslaw blend. That's plenty spicy for us. A little tip; I bought a can of the chilies in adobo sauce, and then divided it up into little baggies with one chili and a spoon of the sauce in each. I froze those to have on hand for when I make these fish tacos. Even the little can of chilies gave me, oh, I think half a dozen or so baggies. Nice way to avoid wasting the rest of the can for just one chili. Oh, and I've used cod instead of tilapia before, which is good too.

AMJ Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Today supper is beef stew made from a kit I impulse-bought at the grocery store when shopping while hungry (I knew better). Tomorrow is spaghetti with meatballs. Wed. is dinner with the in-laws at their place, and Thurs. is salmon. Sides are generally veggies from the freezer, or fresh veggies that roast well. We are eating down the freezer contents this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't grow well down here, so my "fresh" asparagus comes from the produce section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Ham and potato casserole thing in the crockpot. Maybe cream cheese stuffed mini bell peppers if I get around to it. Tasty, but holy calories, Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Today is my day to run all over town between 2:00 and 10:00. If all goes well, I should be home long enough to serve dinner for my husband and myself on our own dining table. If so, we'll be eating the corn on the cob we bought at yesterday's farmers' market, along with a tomato and onion salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar and either baked potatoes or, if I get around to baking, a loaf of bread. He really loves corn on the cob and has been waiting anxiously for the good stuff to come in this year. So, he's very much looking forward to this meal. I suspect the kids will eat left-over Indian food from last night's dinner before each of them heads out for the afternoon, and each will pack up some kind of healthy snack to eat in between activities.

Ameena Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Haven't decided yet, but it should involve the bbq seasoned chicken leg quarters I got on clearance last week & stashed in my freezer. Thinking I might make some rice & gravy to go with in case the BBQ seasoning is too much for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I picked up 3lbs of fresh Alaskan halibut on Saturday (one day sale). Last night was baked halibut with a butter sauce and roasted veggies, and tonight is halibut tacos. The little bit left over, I'll pan fry for Tuesday lunch and serve with salad.

Jane in NC Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Our entree is based on something I saw Lidia Bastianich do on a cooking show. Saute chopped onion in olive oil, add "squeezed" tomatoes (remove from can and squeeze to mutilate them nicely for the stew). When bubbling nicely, add fish fillets. In my case, I'll be using a favorite: grouper cheeks. I'll also add some rosemary from the bushes in the yard. Dough for a loaf of herb bread is rising.

J-rap Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well I'm going out (driving 2.5 hours to be with my mother on her 85th birthday), so my son is coming over to cook. I have grass fed beef, organic cauliflower, organic spinach, and tomato sauce on hand... We'll see what he comes up with! He usually makes some kind of a goulash! (But it's always very good.) (And btw, I don't always buy organic and all of that, but I know it's what my son likes...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
