OnTheBrink Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 It's rainy and cooler today, so I thought a good, home-cooked comfort meal was in order. Meatloaf Mashed potatoes Greenbeans Warm applesauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well, I have chicken breasts marinating in balsamic italian dressing. That's all I have for now. Just meat. Likely, we'll do some steamed broccoli to go with. Not sure though. The kids would be thrilled if I made cottage potatoes, but I really don't want to peel and thinly slice a bunch right now.

Rich with Kids Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Makin' a pot roast with carrots and potatoes. Broccoli with cheese sauce. It smells goooooood! I might...just might make some yeast rolls. Maybe. Kinda glued to the boob tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudoMom Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Cereal. And to add to my Mother-Of-The-Year award, they'll probably eat it while watching a movie. Go ahead and give me my crown :001_huh:. Dh will be having leftovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in SC Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Pasta salad with balsamic vinagraitte dressing, mushrooms, olives, chicken, and broccoli. Garlic bread on the side if they wish for it. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) We are having beef stew with carrots, onions, broccoli, peas, corn, barley and potatoes in it. I figured that would get the veggie & fiber requirements out of the way for the day for everyone. I'll probably make cornbread to go with it -- as soon as my get-up-and-go comes back.

Ria Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 We had stir-fry beef, bok choy, and oriental mushrooms ( tried typing the name... s..take and the website blanked it out. Too funny!) . Eating early tonight...ds (11) has soccer at 6, I have to be at the jr. high school for back-to-school night from 7-9, and dh is at his seminary class and won't get home until 10 pm. Busy, busy, busy. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percytruffle Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 We are thinking alike. Meatloaf is in the oven. I make mine with the same recipe I use for meatballs, so we will probably have a side of spaghetti and a green salad with it. The leftovers are really the best part. Tomorrow I will slice the remains, fry until crisp in a little olive oil, and serve on rolls with sauce and melted mozzarella just like a meatball sub.

Jane in NC Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 oriental mushrooms ( tried typing the name... s..take and the website blanked it out. Too funny!) . Ria Giggling over that as well! So someone thought that her son had a 4-H county council meeting (meal provided) so someone wasn't planning on cooking tonight. Well someone (ahem, you know who) realized that she had the wrong date penned on the calendar and dinner was a requirement. Eggplant and onion is now cooking in tomato sauce, to be served over pasta, topped with parmesan. Fortunately I had a loaf of sesame semolina bread in the freezer for those who like to sop up the sauce. Pumpkin/chocolate chunk muffins for dessert. It will do quite nicely for a last minute throw together. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 It's rainy and cooler today Oh, I wish! It's 99 right now. yuck. This weekend I spent some time organizing my recipes. But I didn't do any shopping. So tonight I think it will be Potato Roesti (fancy name for hashbrowns, sounds like) and eggs and fruit. The kids should love it. I have some leftover lasagna but no one ate much the first time around.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3lilreds in NC Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 We're going to have left over "string noodles" (spaghetti with olive oil & garlic) with an added bonus tonight: pre-cooked cubed chicken! Woo hoo! Actually the chicken is nice and soft, and the baby can eat it too. We really enjoyed it last time. I will see if I can find the lettuce I *know* is in the fridge somewhere, and if it's not slimy, perhaps there will be a salad. Otherwise I will whip out some green beanies. Slice up some fruit and voila! Tomorrow, though, it's chicken tikka masala. My wonderful friends are coming over to hang with the baby while I go to Bible study and dh takes the girls to dance/gymnastics. I try to have tasty things for them to have for dinner because I appreciate them coming so much. And, she's newly pregnant, so I'm trying to have stuff that will taste good to her too. :) I may even splurge and go to the Indian market for some fresh, home made samosas - YUM!

Unicorn. Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 We had lentil soup last night. Mine's just ok, maybe somebody will post a really great recipe! Tonight is baked ziti, crockpot style, w/ Pepperidge Farm's Texas toast, and green beans. I'd add a salad to that, but my cupboards are bare!

partyof5 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I don't cook much (dh loves to cook) so I'm not surprised that I'm having numerous disasters as I go tonight. I made a bread today (honey white) and butternut squash soup. It will be done any minute--late dinner tonight b/c of a messy "pureeing" experience. My kitchen still tells the tale... looks like I'll be cleaning after the dc go to bed! tastes good though...mmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
