A friend tooks me to dinner tonight. I had a Boca burger & fries.

Tomorrow I am cooking dinner for my grandmother and parents.

Teriyaki Chicken with stir fry veggies
Rice Pilaf
Asian Salad
and homemade cookies with icecream and hotfudge

we had chicken and salad. :)

I just ate some macoroni and cheese (which I had been CRAVING ;) ). It stinks though, my family all sits down and eats dinner at about 6 when my parents get out of work so my brother Adam and I always have to fix up something quick (or if we're lucky they'll leave us some leftovers) when we get home at 9ish.

I had a microwaveable pizza.. :p

last nite I bought some Tilipia, asparagus, and had some red potatoes.
I made foil packets and fixed them all on my grill.
it was YUMMMMY!

And you didn't invite me over? Pfffft! :p

Tonight is a pot roast in the crockpot. I know that sounds like a fall winter dinner, but I didn't want to heat up the house and wanted something easy. Its in the crockpot with some onions and potatoes. Looking forward to it. I will have buttered rolls along with it. :)

for tonight i tried a new recipie, persian fried chicken-very good, rice made with chicken broth and green beans. i love to try new things.

my parents had grilled steak and I had grilled hot dogs and some chips. :)

Troy brought home a whole beef loin. After he cut it up, he set aside three beef tenderloins (about an inch thick, just a little over 1 lb.) and packaged the rest.

I set the oven to broil. Took the tenderloins and rubbed all sides with a total of 2-3 tsps of olive oil (collectively, that is). Each side was then rubbed with onion powder, salt, and pepper. I wrapped a slice of bacon around each tenderloin, secured it, and set it in a disposable lasagna pan. I cooked it for 6 minutes on one side, flipped them over, and cooked them for six more minutes. I cooked some frozen green beans to go with that. There was also milk and honey bread with butter.

It was pretty simple and very good! :D

Tomorrow I will take a small beef roast (cut from the loin) and put it in some barbecue sauce (probably honey or spicy honey). It will cook/simmer on low nice and slowly. It'll be put into whole grains buns on top of Cabot extra sharp cheddar cheese. :D Probably frozen sweet peas to go with it.

I had Chicken and chips (fries)... not very healthy but nice ;).

i wanted a practice run for thanksgiving dinner. i roasted a fresh turkey breast ( and it was it ever so much better then the frozen ones!) mashed potatoes, fresh cranberry/orange/brown sugar relish, peas, carrots, rolls. and there will be leftovers this week. what did you have?

Sounds yummy!
I was lazy and got a pizza.

Tonight:

Cannelloni with tomato sauce filled with ground beef, spinach, diced: onions, peppers, green onions, and garlic.

fresh salad, lettuce, carrots, and zesty italian dressing.

Tonight: Chicken enchiladas, spanish rice, and a vegetable.

A small fillet steak with salad and steamed vegetables,kumara,pumpkin,brocoli,potato and sweetcorn on the cob.

A toasted bagel topped with butter, parmesan cheese, and a touch of garlic salt.
