Night Elf Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm in a rut. Let me hear what you guys are having and see if I'm inspired to make a new meal list this week. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happi duck Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Pasta with brown butter sage sauce with some zucchini tossed in and sauteed swiss chard on the side...not sure if this goes together but I need to use up some of the veg from our CSA box! Eta: it was good! We ate the swiss chard like an appetizer before the pasta. I was putting the pasta on the table when I realized I forgot to saute some zucchini. We put the pasta on hold and quickly did the zucchini...it all worked out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I wish I had a personal chef. All these dinners sound good but I hate to cook and usually stick to simple things. Tonight I'm making my version of pasties using a roast beef filling. Not bad, but it's high enough calories that we each have one only and I can easily eat two. And I forgot to buy spinach for salads so I guess I'll open a canned veggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I planned to make chicken stir fry over rice. I even went ahead and baked the rice but then I remembered I had this box of fresh cucumbers the other day and we were really wanted cucumbers and cream, so I sliced up the cucumbers to soak in salt water. Then remembered that one of the kids doesn't like those, so I cut up the 4 pounds of fresh broccoli that needed to get used up. Thinking those would be the veggie sides for supper. Only after I had that all done did I remember that I was planning on stir fry (that uses a bag of frozen veggies) and I'm thinking my family will have veggies overload if I try to serve all that for supper. So now I'm trying to figure out what to make with the chicken I have cooked up and goes with the veggie sides I have prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartosunshine Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 French toast, eggs, bacon, zucchini and yellow squash fried in the bacon grease, and fruit. French toast, bacon & fruit here, also. The bread is in the breadmaker right now. (I would be the only one eating the squash but it sounds delish!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyS Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I think the chicken and broccoli need to get soaked in some kind of cream sauce and served over pasta, with the cucumbers on the side. Maybe you could put it over the rice, but I sorta feel that might be a little odd. I'd probably throw the rice back in the fridge for something else. I planned to make chicken stir fry over rice.

linders Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Meh, you better ask DH. I assume he and the DC will eventually get hungry, even after all the popcorn from the movie, and make themselves something. I'll stick with a banana and slice of cheese.

Maybe you could put it over the rice, but I sorta feel that might be a little odd. I'd probably throw the rice back in the fridge for something else. Oh, I like that idea except I don't have enough cream for both the cucumbers and an alfredo sauce (and my kids are underweight and always hungry so we need full fat sauce, otherwise I'd make it with milk) So I put the broccoli back since I have plenty of chicken (I cooked up 10-15 pounds because I was going to stick some in the freezer) and will make your suggestion tomorrow or Sunday depending on when I get to the store to get more cream. So my menu for tonight is back to the chicken stir fry and we also have cucumbers and cream for those who want them (those who like them won't mind in the least that it doesn't "go" with stir fry).

SemiSweet Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Grilled wild salmon, broccoli, and probably sweet potato fries. I haven't had salmon in forever because it's so expensive to buy the not farmed stuff so I'm pretty excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Homemade pizza. Yummy! That crossed my mind, but I have nothing for toppings and I don't have a car. My car would choose the hottest week of the year to decided to flake on Air conditioning. Needless to say, it's at the shop. So, I guess we'll be having tacos. Which is what we usually have on Fridays. And I'm tired of it. But, we have good fruit. Love this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meena Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Unfortunately, tonight I'm no inspiration--we're having pizza. I'll be looking here for ideas here to get out of my own rut. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 No help from me. I cooked a whole chicken on Wednesday and we've been picking at the leftovers. Last night we made chicken wraps and tonight it was salad with chicken in it. That's what I had for lunch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medawyn Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 DH and I are having porkchops with peaches and basil: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/08/pork-chops-peaches-basil-recipe.html DS 15 months was offered steamed carrots and sugar snaps with hummus + fruit; he ate 1 nectarine, 2 plums, lots of blueberries, 1 container of applesauce, and 1 graham cracker with almond butter. Good thing tomorrow is Saturday and DH is on diaper duty :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Last night? We had grilled T-bone/Porterhouse steaks, corn, garden peas (our garden), marinated mushrooms, and fresh blueberries. It was the last night we had both boys home for a couple of weeks, and they will only be home together for 3 days at the end of the month before we take youngest to college, so we splurged on a "favorite" meal. Today we'll be doing BBQ pork ribs as that is a meal middle son loves that youngest isn't as fond of (and it's youngest who left early this morning). I'm not totally sure what sides we'll have, but it will likely include broccoli, yellow squash, and/or kale as those are all some we have in our garden that the three of us love.

Alicia64 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Don't mean to steal thread, just wanted to share a funny: Erma Bombeck once said, "I spent the first half of my life wondering who I'd marry and the second half wondering what I'd make for dinner." Isn't that the truth?! Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So it's a week out from your original post. Have you found any ideas? I have. I always love meal idea threads. Last night I made this chicken stir fry (and yes, commented on it). We all really liked it. I'll have some of the leftovers for lunch. DH and I are having porkchops with peaches and basil: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/08/pork-chops-peaches-basil-recipe.html For years I've seen pork chops with peaches recipes but have never tried any of them. Maybe this will be the summer I actually do. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm in Grill Everything mode. Last night we grilled pizzas. The night before it was pork tenderloin. Tonight it's fajitas. I think a summer freezer should be stocked with marinated meats. Just add a salad and a starch and you're off the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
