What did you have for dinner?

[Kfamr]

We had a thread like this before, but I thought i'd make a new one. :)


So, what did you have for dinner?




I had a yummy salad that my mom made from Chick-Fil-A.


Lettuce, of course - cut up chargrill chicken, two kinds of cheese, carrots, sunflower seeds, crutons, and buttermilk ranch.;)

YUM!

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Since it's only 5:30 here...we haven't ate yet.
I feel like eating a Chicken Cesar Salad, though. YUMMY! :D

[Cookiebaker]

I made grilled Bruschetta (sp?) You marinate tomatoes and celery diced very fine, with basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. You take slices of french bread (2" thick) and spread it with a mixture of mayo, mustard, green onions and garlic. Grill the bread until browned, and top with the tomato mixture. I also put slices of mozzarella over the top. YUMMY!

[dappledoxie]

I had two Eggo Buttermilk Waffles with Mayple Syrup and Sweet Tea. lol

[Uabassoon]

I made tostadas, it's one of my favorite dinners since it's so easy to make. Just a flat taco shell, some beans, cheese and veggies.

[Kater]

I had Pad Thai.
I stir fried TVP (texture vegetable protein), broccoli, carrots and bean sprouts in Thai pepper sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce and garlic. I put this over a bed of rice noodles and then garnished it with chopped green onion. YUM!

[Twisterdog]

Potato chips and ice cream. :o

It's a lazy night.

[lbaker]

I have had this London Broil steak marinating for a day 1/2 so I broiled it rare on the grill last night and served it with fettacini alfredo (real cream and butter) garlic bread and a salad. Colesterol? Who cares :rolleyes: it was yummy. We don't always eat like that but every now and then a treat is in order :cool: Sorry guys, but I like my meat.

[primabella]

My mom was going to make some yummy pasta but my sister started complaining :rolleyes: so we ordered out pizza.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Last night my sister- in- law "cooked" for us. She pulled everything out of a bag in the freezer. We had fried clams, coconut shrimp, and potato skins with cheese and bacon bits. It actually was pretty good, altho a bit burnt. It was her first time cooking for someone else.:)

[Kfamr]

A yummy sub from Subway. :D

[aly]

Last night I had spinach lasagna and garlic bread with a salad.

I'm not too sure whats on the menu for tonight. My bf and I are going shopping for my dad's b-day so we will probably eat at the mall.

[Katiesmom]

Yummmmmm *drools*

I visited this thread with the hopes of finding something I could make myself for dinner, but all it's accomplished is to make me hungry. LOL

I wish there was a Subway close by as that would be perfect, but the closest one is still driving distance away and I hate driving so.....

I guess I'll have to go raid the fridge/freezer to see what I can find. *sigh* I hate cooking for myself.......

[Kfamr]

Hehe.. I LOOVEE Subway. There's two or three near-by here.


I always have my mom get that if she hasn't planned dinner. :p

[ChiRen]

Well, last night we had stir-fry with spring rolls and rice. Mmm...so yummy. :D

I'm not sure what we're having tonight.......:p

[Nomilynn]

Hmm I too came here for ideas, and just got hungry! :p I think I will be having either chicken strips and hasbrowns, or chicken strips and pasta. I haven't decided for sure. Oh, and lots of orange juice. I have a yucky cold!!

[NoahsMommy]

Hope you feel better, Nom. :)

I just finished my dinner....my newest obsession is spinach salad. :)

Tonight I had a spinich, apples, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, cheddar cheese and blue cheese dressing. It was soooo good!

[ChiRen]

**drools** We had shrimp scampi tonight...Yuuuuuum.

[sirrahbed]

Well, *I* am the mom here but the *kids* have all flown the coop. No Betty Crockers, Martha Stewarts, Emerils or Suzy Homemakers at this house.:D :D I did, however, make a nice Banquet potpie back in March I think it was....

Tonight, Emily and I had a bowl of Golden Grahams:rolleyes:

[CountryWolf07]

I had leftover's from Red Robin's

[anna_66]

Last night we had chicken & dumplings. Yummy!

[Cataholic]

REady?

A chibatta sandwhich from the local pizza chain and a big ole bag of BBQ chips, followed by some lemonade. Yum.

[ILoveReptiles]

As a favor for the professor (a friend of mine), I was a guest speaker for an entry level web development course last night at a small university - it was part of their MIS program. And afterwards, we went out to a Japanese Hibachi grill. I had rice, salmon, shrimp, scallops, veggies, and sushi.

YUM!

[lbaker]

YUM!! It's not even lunchtime and now I'm hungry! Anna_66, I haven't made chicken & dumplings in ages. Now I know what I'll make over the weekend. My son & d-in-law just LOVE my dumplings :D I think I'll steam up some fresh asperagus to go with it :cool:

now I am feeling domestic...dumplings!!! do you drop yours or roll them?? (I roll)

[lbaker]

I drop.. :) I also boil the chicken carcass to get all the meat off and that makes the best broth once I refrigerate it so I can skim the fat off. That's why I have to wait for weekends... I don't like taking short cuts with chicken & dumplings ;)

Absolutely! Chicken and Dumplings is *serious* cookin'!! But - I DO roll - I think maybe it is a southern thing? Little fat noodle like dumplings about the size of a stick of gum - nice and chewy. I think I am hungry - got the chicken out to thaw!!:D

[anna_66]

I drop mine. Now a stupid question....
How do you roll them?

[Cincy'sMom]

[tomkatzid]

1/2 can of planters honey roasted peanuts :(

[Cookiebaker]

We went out to Margarita's, a Mexican place. Mmmmm! I had a "Cuatro" which is basically a taco, an enchilada, a burrito and a quesadilla. I brought half of it home for lunch tomorrow tho'.

[Nomilynn]

I've got a pizza and a salad on the way! :D

[slleipnir]

Nothing. Someone ate it..grr. I got a mixed basket at work and it got busy so I couldn't eat it. When I looked over the bloody costumers were eating it..pssh.

[guster girl]

a really good teriyaki chicken bowl from a place called lite wok. Oh, it's so yummy!!! Oh, and, and an egg roll. :)

[ChiRen]

A hotdog on the grill and corn on the cob. Soo good. lol

[Kfamr]

Chicken wings. And one peice of sushi thing... a california roll

[Tonya]

For you that don't know, that's like egg rolls. I'm with my filipino (aka phillippino) family and friends and I learned how to make them tonight. mmmmmmmmmmmm!

[carole]

Crumbed Pork Sniztel,(sp) with mashed potatoes , baby peas and a salad and a glass of coke.

[lisalee]

Lisa & Sash

[Rio and Me]

Well mum went to work, i had no work today so i thought i might try and be creative in the kitchen, huh what a joke.
I thought something simple (Mum told me what ever i did i had to make somthing for my bro as well he's a 22yr old male need i say more) so soup sprang to mind.

Vegtable i thought so easy.
What i did was boil 3 large spuds,3carrots,3 red onions,1 leak (hate em), 1 garlic clove, 1 sprout (i know its all i had the guts to put in,lol), 3 tomatos, half a cucumber, some bround beans, pepper/salt/vinigar.
Once boiled chucked it in a blender and woollaa one soup for two,lol

Well it looked like ****, smelled like it and tasted like it.
My brother didnt even taste it so he went hungery.

This was my first atempt, not following any books, never again.
So in the end it was a bag a crisps, chocolate bar and 3 pints of larger, hummmm best dinner ever,lol

How do you roll them?

Hi Anna,
not a dumb question! I had never heard of "dropping" until I came north. Dumplings are rolled in the south - like a noodle only thick and chewy. Here is how I make mine if you feel southern and domestic sometime:D
I cook the chicken and veggies until almost done and add the dumplings 30-45 minutes before we are ready to eat - you just add them to the broth, cover and simmer and the flour helps the broth them thicken up. You need to fix them early in the day - about the same time you start the chicken because they dry for several hours before ya cook them.

Dumplings:
3 eggs
3 T COLD water
1/2 tsp salt
Beat these three things together and add with your fingers:
2 cups (or more) all purpose flour to make a nice dough you can work and roll. I divide it in half and roll out like a *thick* pie crust on a floury board or towel. Let it sit awhile until it looks kinda dry - half hour maybe. Roll each piece up and cut it into slices about an inch wide then cut each strip about 2-3 inches long. Toss them around on the floury towel and let them dry a couple more hours until you are ready to use them. They look like play dough when they are ready and can really dry all day if you want - won't hurt them to be too dry. You can freeze what you don't cook and use them another time!

[sirrahbed]

I like to eat out:rolleyes: THREE times this week I had soft tacos at a place called Chipotle - are they in othere areas than here in Ohio?? They are as good as anything I had down in Texas - nice and fresh! I get them with rice, black beans, onions and peppers, corn salsa, cheese and guacamole! YUM!!

[RobiLee]

No one but me this evening, so I didn't have to worry about what we were all going to eat...yeeaah! I just ran over to a local mom and pop's mexican place and got the quesidilla special. It is yummy and one of my favs.

Robin :)

[lisalee]

Everyone talking about Mexican food is making me very hungry for some!:D My boyfriend makes wonderful burritos and tacos. I'm going to be eating very shortly chinese take out, sprimp lo mein and a shrimp egg roll.:)

We just got one of those down here! I haven't been there yet...I wasn't sure what they had or if I would like it. We also just got a
Potbelly's right next to it...they have the best peanut butter and jelly I've ever had. lol.

AH! Chipotle! I love it. They only have three choices - hard tacos, soft tacos or a soft burrito (oh and a salad) - but they have lots of very fresh toppings and hundreds of combinations and will fix them however you want them! Choose your meat or vegetarian style, lime rice, different beans, veggies, various salsas, cheese, toppings, etc - all fresh, messy and yummy! Sort of a mexican Subway's. Hope you try it! I never heard of Potbelly's!

[tomkatzid]

real food tonight !! boneless pork ribs cook slow all day in the crock pot (while I was at the camera show), garlic mashed potatoes and corn. Now I'm going to go frost a cinniman swirll cake and have it with vanilla ice cream
