Night Elf Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm seriously thinking about ordering a pizza because I have no idea what to have for dinner tonight. We had broiled chicken on Saturday and steak last night. I have frozen ground beef. I guess I could make spaghetti but that really doesn't sound appetizing tonight. What's on your menu tonight?

cjzimmer1 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I roasted a turkey on Saurday and had mashed potatoes with it. Yesterday I turned the leftover potatoes into Shepherd's pie. Right now I've get the leftover turkey carcass boiling away. I'll use some of the meat to make something Mexicanish for supper. The broth with will be turned into soup on Wed. Mexican is very loosely defined in our house. I will have turkey meat mixed with salsa, beyond that, I haven't decide if I will turn it into tacos, taco salad, quesadillas or enchiladas. But something along that lines will become supper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 We had pancit canton. Comfort food. And it uses up the last bits of the vegetables before I go grocery shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I have pork in the slow cooker and am planning to make it into pulled pork. I will probably make cornbread and roasted veggies to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I found a small beef roast in the freezer so I quickly cooked it this morning and will make beef barley soup for dinner tonight. Tomorrow I'm making Mustard-Glazed Pork Tenderloin from the New York Times cooking site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Busy kid-activity night here, so just soup and sandwiches. "Soup" is a carton of tomato soup, and we have mini saltines to go on that. "Sandwiches" may turn into make-your-own. Ham and cheese panini for the kids, turkey for dh. Maybe a salad if I have time to make one. And I made oatmeal chocolate chip muffins this morning to fuel kids through the activites, so those are up for grabs too. And there's a good chance we'll be eating in two different shifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Not dinner, but I made some awesome nachos for lunch. I found a can of refried beans at the back of the cabinet, chips in the pantry. One Roma tomato in the fridge, and a large block of pepper jack that nobody has really liked (because of it's texture...but it melted awesomely). I had 2 kids and 1 husband begging for my lunch (even though they all poo'd my idea when I was putting it together and they chose other items... :p) Edited November 14, 2016 by alisoncooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yesterday I made fish tacos, but the kids had unexpected guests so I ended up having to stretch the fish with TVP. Today is probably potato pancakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Chicken thighs in a Dijon-maple sauce: 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 1/4 cup maple syrup (I don't use the real stuff, lol) Garlic Rosemary or Thyme (I don't measure the garlic or herbs) Coat the thighs completely in the sauce and bake at 425-450 until done, nicely browned on top. Maybe 35-45 min. The original recipe says to bake the chicken in all the sauce, but I reserve just a bit and baste halfway through. (I tend to double this, btw, because we're feeding 8.) People either love or hate this recipe so if you don't like mustard, don't bother. lol (The original recipe also called for 2:1 mustard to syrup so I changed it!)

BarbecueMom Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm using up some stuff in the fridge for lunch to make fried rice and egg drop soup. We also have leftover hamburgers and hot dogs, a little bit of red beans and rice, two turkey sandwiches, and a large bowl of salad. Dinner is whatever remains of that, plus whatever else people can scrounge up. DH has that "influenza-like illness" thing, and my throat is starting to hurt, so I hope there's enough random stuff for the kids to feed themselves if necessary.

zoobie Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I have no idea. DS and DH will be leaving soon and gone until 9. I don't really want to cook. I'm over feeding everyone, especially picky little people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWillSoar Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Well I haven't decided but I do have some things on the menu for the week. Fish tacos, shrimp scampi, bbq chicken croissant braid thing. I would much rather order pizza though so I don't have to cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 I decided to forget the pizza and go for tacos. I really didn't want anything with tomato sauce tonight. I ran to the store for a taco kit and tomato. I have the rest of the stuff at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEmama Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm feeling lazy and uninspired, so tonight is salmon (crab cakes for DS), Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts and Asiago, and mushroom ravioli. Easy peasy lazy food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Omelettes. A friend with a large flock of hens gave me three dozen eggs. So I will saute red pepper, spinach, leeks, and potatoes with a little ham for the filling and top them with parmesan. Fresh fruit on the side for those that want it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmasc Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 We're moving in a couple of weeks, so I've started the 'eat what's in the pantry or freezer' challenge. :) Tonight we are having sausage and potatoes, and a side of macaroni and cheese (bc I found a whole lot of elbow macaroni in the pantry)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
